i cant imagine how hilariously it must own to be a higher up in the military and i dont mean a captain or whatever im talking the four star generals who can spend years wasting a trillion tax payer dollars and laugh it all off because as long as they dont gently caress up like accidentally dropping a nuke that explodes in the middle of New York there's not too much that will stop them

Popular Thug Drink posted:its not that the osprey crashed all that often it just holds a hell of a lot more dudes than a helicopter and for some reason every flight of this experimental aircraft was crammed full of guys They needed to test it with realistic loads. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to buy sand bags from defense contractors?

Reminder that it would literally be cheaper and more effecient to give a group of MIT undergraduates a budget to design a warplane on and have them do it as a end of year project then it would be to continue to suck bullshit excuses out of jockheed shartins 1 inch micropenis.

The engine bursts into flame when put under stress (stress involves taking off and landing, and 5 degree turns). It has at most 4 missiles and < 0.02 seconds of main gun fire. It will be replacing the A10 as a close support fighter The plane can't take off if the fuel is too warm. Those arent necessarily the biggest, just my favourites. EDIT: Also it hasn't killed any marines yet so its still beaten out by the Osprey. kingcom fucked around with this message at 11:41 on Jan 15, 2015 |
