The classified avionics in modern military jets are what get me hottest of all, OP. Well, they might. The non-classified ones get me half mast and the classified ones will probably put my dick into enough orbit that it snaps in two like a tower to the heavens. Just a blood-spewing half-dick stuck in low earth orbit until it disintegrates from cosmic radiation.

Post some of those classified blueprints so we can have a wank too. It's ok because it's among Americans. It's not treason then, so no laws would be broken.

Also, look at this thing ! Nuclear ? Sucks that you can't have a chat with your driver buddy. Communists hate fun I guess

I don't actually know about any classified avionics. But if they're better than what's declassified, they're a goddamn rock hard boner. The F35 is a piece of poo poo, but the sensor integration and data collation stuff in that is loving insane. The things that were in the F16 by 2000 were loving insane. It's not that impressive cuz it doesn't go boom, but its definitely some sci-fi technology bullshit.

There are so many cool missiles and bombs for jets I wouldn't even know where to start. The Maverick-H in Force Correlate that can supposedly put a missile through a specific window? The HARM that can strike a SAM site from up to 80 miles away? It all owns. CBU-105's are these awesome cluster bombs that spin rapidly spewing several dozen bomblets in all directions, and each bomblet has its own sensor that uses IR(?) to guide it onto vehicles.

Wasn't the MIG-29 literally just "copy F-16, but use two engines" ?

Not that that doesn't sound like a kick-rear end idea, of course.

NATO callsigns. It was the Mig-21, maybe the most badass fighter ever created.

E: I got them mixed up. Mig-15 is the Fagot, but the 21 is what I meant. That thing is loving cool.

The Mig-15 is also cool, I guess. It has a weird nose.

So is the NATO callsign for america's latest and most expensive and most bestest fighter "tirefire" or "trainwreck"? I'm trying to think of better ones but I can't do it atm

the nato reporting names were code names for enemy hardware, while the nicknames for American fighters afaik are just what the Air Force decides upon when they pick an experimental aircraft

F-35 is "Lightning II" after the old P-38, but I imagine it's collected less generous nicknames as well

Designed to be dropped from low altitudes, the bomb's fall is slowed by a parachute. The maximum release speed is 550 knots (1,020 km/h; 630 mph) and the minimum release altitude is 200 feet (61 m). When the bomb has reached a 40° angle due to the parachute's drag, it fires a rocket booster that accelerates it into the runway surface. The 100-kilogram (220 lb) primary charge explodes once the weapon has penetrated the concrete and drives the secondary charge even deeper. The 15-kilogram (33 lb) secondary charge then explodes after a one-second delay. Later production weapons have a programmable fuze that can delay the secondary detonation up to several hours.
The weapon can penetrate up to 40 centimetres (16 in) of concrete, and creates a crater 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) deep and approximately 5 metres (16 ft) in diameter. In addition, concrete slabs around the crater are disturbed in an area approximately 15 metres (49 ft) in diameter. The disturbed slabs are displaced up to 50 centimetres (20 in) above the original surface, making repair more difficult than the simple crater from a conventional bomb.[1]
