Yeah baby!!!

Given Russia’s track record with Muslim fundamentalists, I’d say they’re far more worried about a jihad push from one of the ‘Stans than F-15s in Finland.

Jerry, I’m proud of you man. All those helo pics and not one F-35 shot.

“Whether developing a sixth generation fighter is economically feasible, or tactically relevant is a whole other story...”

Yeah, I was thinking B-1.

everyone is talking about converting a 747 to a bomb truck. Boeing could do that, make it pilotless, voice directed and call the program HAL - High Altitude and Loiter.

Kinda sounds like JSTARS but with missile racks.

double points to Jalop1991 for the Dale Brown reference!

ah excuse me Mr. Rogoway, are you talking about the same Air Force leadership who are going to build the arsenal ship as the ones who came up with the F-35? And are they the same ones who think CAS can be done from 30,000' and 25 miles away? Lots of luck in seeing the arsenal concept become anything more than…

Tow? Tow? lol... how about 50cal tracer rounds... you get two hits for the price of one... punch holes all in that PoS and set it on fire at the same time...

my favorite was Nova Logic’s Comanche series.

hey Jerry, thanks for the A-10 pic.

I’m guessing the last part of that guy’s commentary was something like, “What the fuck? Awww, shit.”

“...6-12 dumb but stealthy missile/bomb/fuel trucks being quarterbacked by a single F-35 would be a pretty massive force multiplier...”

...and if an LCS ever gets in a fight, the result will be the same as well.

interesting, the Turks didn’t, or apparently even try to, shoot down the Su-34 for violating their airspace. Either they figured they were overmatched or they’re worried about tweaking Putin’s nose again.

ok, thanks to bdk, we’ve got a new meme...

so did the Truman allow it’s Phalanx to lock onto the drone while it was over the carrier? Or is that action in the same category as a Chinese fighter locking its fire control system onto an American P-8?
