This may be a great plan for defense contractors but a losing one for the U.S. military.

Which is exactly why protection should be left to the Escorts.

Dude, you cannot touch a Tesla in Los Angeles for under $125k.

OK, other than the fact that they can, why? This type of vessel never goes Into Harm’s Way without surface combatants in the task force, so why advanced air defense capability? There would be a Ford class carrier on the horizon, several Burke class Destroyers and a dedicated Aegis Frigate, minimum, protecting the…

‘Murrica.

Sigh. Once again, a perfect example of how America’s military procurement/design/construction program is completely flawed. What did they think the naval variant of the F-35 would weigh nothing?

This is actually a decontamination tank for use post nuclear exchange. Jet turbine engines spraying Dcon solvent onto military vehicles and aircraft.

I sincerely hope that nozzle is never pointed in the wrong direction when it goes off.

I remember my relatives would fly across the Atlantic from London to New York on TWA Constellations in the mid to late 50s. Something like a 20 hour trip.

You ever wonder what the sycophants surrounding all DPRK “Leaders” are writing on those little note pads?

Once again, in a nutshell, an example of everything that is wrong with weapons development programs at the DOD. A $400,000 custom fitted helmet for each pilot? What happens if he/she drops it onto the tarmac? Or there is a network systems failure in flight?

Bob Hope aka Burbank Airport.

At the recordings end, you can see the end of the runway at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, CA. On the other side of that red and white barrier is Hollywood Way. There used to be a Liquor store on the east side of the street that was known as “Wailing Wall Liquor,” for the laid off Lockheed employees who would tank up…

In order for the Sgt York mobile gun to hit anything, the testers had to attach radar reflectors to the rotor tips on the target helicopters. Couldn’t we just buy surplus ZSU-23s from some former Soviet Bloc country?

Tyler: Wasn’t the V-22 intended to replace the CH-53?

USAF Command has always hated the A-10. It isn’t a “Fast Mover,” which is what the Fighter Jocks with all the stars on their shoulders used to drive and idolize. According to Business Insider, it maintenance costs $11.500 per flight hour for the A-10 vs. $32,000 for the F-35, and $44,000 for the F-22.

This is the height of celebutard arrogance. They have little respect for anyone or anything beyond their narcissist need for publicity. They should be fined, seriously fined. Have you ever been to the Coconino National Forest? Probably not.

Increased Russian SSBN/SSGN patrols in the North Atlantic? Good, gives our guys something to do besides take Cetaceans census.

My pool cleaner is the A-10 submerged.
