It isn't fatally flawed? You mean that the fact that it has already failed one of its core requirements isnt a flaw? You know, the one where it's supposed to cost less than the F-22? Or do we not talk about that?

(insert another comment on why we as Canadians should resurrect the Arrow)

Maybe range isnt important for you in the States, where you have an airbase in every state, but our northern-most airbase is still quite a ways away from our northern-most border. And the Arctic patrol mission is what we're trying to select aircraft for. As well as Russian Bear intercepts up there. Its not just your…

We would, but we just don't have the money to do so. As said before, better to purchase an aircraft that ACTUALLY meets our needs. You know, longer range, another engine, heavier weapon loadout, proven tech, and maybe a few billion less $$$ per air frame?

Does anyone else see a Hakosuka Skyline in the side profile?

Are you saying Russian armoured divisions have found a new firing range, where people actually PAY to be moving targets?

Follow the beginning coast road to the Horizon Festival. Once you reach the fields, where you're going? You won't need any roads.

Lets leave this sort of commentary out of FA. If Jezebel commenters want to come here to accuse us of these things, that's their problem. No need to respond to trolls like that. Only fortifying their preconceived beliefs about us by doing this man. Be the bigger person.

I support a standardized unit of measure known as the stickyquant. None of this metric/imperial/US BS.

-"Not to be exceeding 100km/h. Is of requiring more petrol, better used in vehicles of mighty Red Army."

I for one will welcome our new robot overlords....with a 20mm welcome wagon.

My friends and i were discussing this yesterday. Obviously only make it available when you have clear sky above you. This would only really be needed when youre about to be overrun, and i dont think ive run into a situation where itd be necessary. Maybe the walkers, but all you really need to take one of those down is…

This. My ship currently has some sort of lance sticking out the front, large calibre-looking weapong underslung on the wings, amd rocket pods. Rocket pods! What good are rocket pods if you can't let loose a salvo while quietly chuckling(or giggling) to yourself?

The G-Wagen front on it just looks surprised: "Vhy am I jumping? Nein! Zis is VERBOTEN! NEINNEINNEINNEINNEIN!"

I'm sure the comparison's been made before, but this reminds me of the armoured vehicle built for the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. It's widely celebrated in Poland, the original being on display in the Polish Army Museum,while a replica is on exhibit in the Uprising Museum in Warsaw.

Using concrete filled bombs to attack? Have we really gone back to throwing rocks at the other guy? Or just practicing for when the super-secret US satellite starts dropping kinetic rounds? You be the judge.

I'm in the same position as you are. But I have two big Bernese dogs at home, whom I get to see once every couple of months

*inhaling cigarette* La vie est maudite. (Life is shit.)

Fly-by-wire was being developed as far back as the early 1950's. So not sure I can agree with the F-16. Although it is a great airplane.
