It's tagging an AH-64. Was it here that we had the discussion over the value of rotary CAS? Edit: Super Cobra as determined below Godholio fucked around with this message at 17:24 on May 15, 2016 |

The first thing I saw about it said it was an Apache, but the youtube video says Super Cobra. Didn't know Turkey had those.

So Boeing is pitching yet another F-15 upgrade to the USAF, this time called the 2040C. This would be an upgrade to the existing fleet rather than a new-build like the Silent Eagle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGY2JBuSCU0

Pretty much, but the USAF will not buy new F-15s. Edit: They cost about as much as we'd have paid for F-22s had the 381 order been upheld.

aphid_licker posted:Is that really more economical than some hypothetical factory-new improved F-15 version? Probably. If they were to crank out new F-15s with these features it would probably cost $135M apiece. But the big problem with buying new F-15s is that it completely fucks over any modernization effort. You can kiss the sixth-gen program goodbye for at least 15 more years because Congress simply will not do both. Three loving fighter jet programs for the USAF? That's hilarious.

So did costs. That helped drive mergers from a couple dozen down to three loving companies, which only made it worse.

NAS Fallon. The same message is also displayed on the O Club's sign in between lunch/dinner menus, and there's another traffic sign just inside the gate that takes 3 screens' worth to say that it's banned on the entire base.

That ship is completely hosed. It just takes a while to actually fill up with enough water to sink. Ships going down in <5m are exceedingly rare. The spine of that ship was snapped like a twig by that torpedo near the bow, which is exactly what the torpedo is supposed to do. The entire front end is basically being held on by the few surviving internal walls in that section.

Yeah but that's actually normal. The whole thing was a non-issue from an aircraft development standpoint, the only real  -worthy part was the USMC declaring it operational as insanely early as they did (for political reasons).

iyaayas01 posted:"without major repercussions" in the real world...yes. But busting threshold values means an APB breach, and that means bigwig PEOs have to go explain why they screwed up. So I am confident that they will be formally declaring IOC before the end of the year, even if the aircraft itself wouldn't be deployed in combat until well after 3F is fielded a couple years down the road. Missing milestones, budgets, and timetables have happened so often in this program the PEOs probably have reserved seats in the front row. But you're definitely right that it will be a non-factor for deployments either way...even if actually met IOC standards when they declare IOC, it wouldn't deploy yet. Edit:
