Don’t forget the time machine in case the cloning fails.

A long time ago, when I was a young, impressionable armor crewman, I saw one of these (at either Grafenwöhr or Hohenfels) on a live fire exercise. It seemed to come out of nowhere and made two quick passes on the target - which looked like a BTR-80 - and just chewed it to pieces. Perforated it like a giant soda can…

If the mission is to blast apart jihadis in some shitty desert, there are cheaper & equally effective ways of doing so.

They can re-zero the airframe, making it as if it hasn’t flown and been wore down yet. The Israelis do it all the time, F4s, Mirages. Its doable, practical, and inexpensive (compared to F35, especially so).

Totally! It just also happens to double as the automotive connector.

We have some of the best doctors and surgeons, thats why very affluent often travel here for care. These are not doctors your average person has access to. Our healthcare isn’t better or worse than anyone else, its the definition of average, just hilariously more expensive.

As someone who works in US hospitals let me say. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I have worked in hospitals whose top of the line equipment is from the 80's. Expensive health care does not mean that all hospitals that have all the equipment they need. And the for profit nature means rural and low income areas often don’t…

In former Soviet Union, Life Saving Equipment kills YOU.

But they still managed to save the one in need, right??

Not the first time either. USAF did it years ago as well. F-111 had legs

Mother Russia always provides.

Wrong. It plays Go quite well though.

Yeah, but the espresso would be like molasses and the pilot’s shirt would still have wrinkles.

I shouldn’t have laughed at that, but I did anyway.

Except that the cargo pod doesn’t integrate with the software and may not be available till 2023

grammar

If this was Russia, they would have dropped this unguided pod into a civilian area and killed 27 people.

While also making an espresso and ironing the pilot’s shirt. Cause it does everything, right?

F-35 could have done it in 41 min.
