Here's a intellectual revolutionary idea: If you are worried about dying, how about not join an employer with an obvious occupational hazard along with a proven track record of forcing you to hazardous areas

Hope the patriotism was worth it dumbasses

that looks like flash rust. it happens to uncoated steel in salt air. it’s like a fine powder. bet fucks with the stealth stuff. that’s quite the gently caress up.

Air power and sea power are supposed to be the cornerstones of the US military. Everything falls apart if we lack dominance in either, and our ships and planes work like the aliens from Signs.

The F35 rust is iron in the stealth coating. It does gently caress up the stealth but it isn't structural and the stealth coating is made to be stripped and reapplied. They rotate out airframes so there are theoretically always airplanes with fresh coats ready to do things that actually require low observability on radar. It is boondoggle by design.

they should just make a missile that shits out a huge rear end cloud of radar visible crap over miles and miles and have some normal rear end jets fly through it so the anti air cant target them by they i mean the level designers at bandai namco project aces cause that would be a fun ac level.
