Damn I was hoping the article said it instantly charged the battery from 0 to 100%. :(
The MAGTF demo at air shows wouldn’t be so fun without the fixed wing CAS. Oh snap. MAGTF = combined arms.
What’s happening here?
Want to see it?
I prefer to just run over cyclists in my lifted 4x4 truck, but to each their own.
Maybe you didn’t get to experience it and didn’t write it, but the g-force that bird can put on you when it transitions from vertical to horizontal flight is quite strong. Maybe the pilots took it easy on you, but in Afghanistan, they would really make you feel it. Sometimes those dudes would do a high performance…
I fucking love the Osprey. Got to ride in them a whole lot getting from one FOB to another (got a funny story about that and why I got the nickname “Fobhopper”) when I was deployed to afghanistan. I honest to god want to have babies with this thing, thats how awesome this aircraft is. To those that have never ridden…
Ummm, Pretty sure the Navy doesn't run the F-15
You are the first person to ever say the F-35 is a better investment.
You’re silly, that means that no plane has been in combat since... when? exactly when was the last time your metric of combat was demonstrated? The first Gulf War isn’t combat then, neither was Bosnia or Grenada? Does Vietnam count since their jets were not as good? Bitch please.
What metric do you require for a plane to be in combat? Air to air combat? What? Please tell me you don’t require a plane to have fired a missile at another plane for it be considered as having been in combat. Bitch please.
People doing shady things? In Miami?!
Not a military question — that’s a civilian question. The military isn’t “trying” to do anything except execute the tasks its civilian leaders have assigned it.
Do you want to know if the military as an organization is good at its job or if the men and women that make up the military are good at their job?
You asked this question in English, and not in Russian (or German), so I would say yes, they are good at their job.
