F-35 is a technological equivalent of a Pyrrhic victory.

DoD yes.

The military-industrial complex is strong in this one.

Let me fix that for you:

Third generation!? Pretty lame for an aircraft that is not even operational yet.

Awesome, but slighty odd. Kinda like those T-6 Texans modifed to resemble the Japanese Zeros for the old war movies.

F1 sucks balls and this is just another proof of it. Seriously, it has been turned into a ridiculous, pretentious and nonsense soap opera.

The engine used in the MS670 is either the same or the evolution of their F1 V12 engine; I’m not entirely sure which is correct.

I know. I wrote that post badly, but my point stands. WTCC is largely forgotten as a mainstream sport.

Don’t twist my words. Neither F3, GT3, spec-Miata or whatever else, are not relevant racing series. They are there only for racing drivers and small, hardcore fanbase. General public, and many racing fans, don’t care about those series.

I was hoping you’d say something like that.

So how would you justify operating loads of single-mission aircraft in a low threat, post Cold war environment with skin-tight budgets?

Dafoe was great, but the movie was a bit weird. I loved it as a kid, but now, it feels like there is a lot missing in it.
I’ve always been wondering what it would’ve looked like if it was made as a proper counterpoint to Top Gun, with a more known lead actor, and slightly better effects.

It’s sad to see pure tactical strike aircraft dying (only Tornado and Su-24 are still there). It’s like seeing your childhood icons die or fade away.

Lambos have always been ultra-cool, but they will never be racecar cool.

Like this?

Let’s hope that this one will be very competitive and that it can make WTCC relevant once more.

Lambo does not have “because racecar”.

You missed the point. I was implying about the gun culture in the US. Why the hell should civilians be allowed to carry weapons?

That’s exactly why is wrote “general public”. At least half of the population are consumption-driven morons.
