Yeah, this is a much better investment than developing and producing cars people actually buy that’ll give them positive income ,…

My Google-fu was weak. It took me a while to find that image again:

The Russian Navy has but a single aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. It has spent most of its life in port and is so unreliable that on the rare occasions when it does a major voyage, it is accompanied by an ocean-going tug. http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/you-may-puke-watching-this-tug-boat-attempt-to-tow-rus…

Even if they did, it wouldn’t change how we would conduct our intercepts. International airspace is international airspace. BTW, the Russians have certainly sailed warships that close to US territory, and recently. Our intercept procedures remain professional.

The Russians do it all the time. We intercept them safely and professionally. Interception and escort can be done in an appropriate, safe manner, following accepted international guidelines:

You would lose that bet. The Russians do that in Alaska on a regular basis. The US Air Force intercepts them in a professional and safe manner.

So... Mitsubishi Outlander + Model T made to look like a Model A... Does that make it Outlandish T&A?

It certainly was a galant endeavor.

No. The Russians fly actual nuclear stand off attack capable bombers, not recon planes, this close to the continental US all the time. Our people intercept them professionally and within accepted guidelines for this sort of thing. PLAAF were being assholes pure and simple.

Your comment. It eclipses all others.

If the map is accurate, that would be like the Chinese patrolling around, say, Bermuda. The site of the encounter is nowhere near their territory.

This is it! The 2018 Mitsubishi Galant prototype!

If they were in intl airspace, then they probably won’t think much of it and just monitor the situation. not buzz the plane.

You mean taking the name of a somewhat beloved sports car from the 90's and applying it to the current market darling known as the CUV isn’t doing just that?

Why start now?

Does Mitsubishi have the money to be doing this rn?

This build seems...

Ok wait, you keep throwing brands and models around and it’s confusing.

This seems cool, but shouldn’t Mitsubishi focus on a production car that consumers might actually want?

I hate the sentiment that this is a waste of time. “But why?” the dejectors say. Let’s be honest, if this were a restomod Model A or T with a Coyote engine people would be singing its praises. I think this is a really cool project.
