Oof I wanna join the Navy, but can't due to asthma and hearing loss, so I'm just doing JROTC. Loads of fun

10/10 recommend (if yallsr in high school)

I could use the discipline, but I handle yelling very poorly. I also get chills when anything sounds like someone is in a rage...

Ya I had to get over that... the discipline is good tho

Yeah except I had a chaotic home environment growing up, so I don't think I'll be over it anytime soon

I want to join the army when I’m older if they bring back the shark attack

Be a man and join the USMC 😉

Womp womp womp

The aurora cruiser in the Russo-japanese war

The ship now 115 years later

I saw it in 2012 when I visited St. Petersburg

The USAF logo is glaring on that image

Wait, fuck that logo confused me for a second

Is supposed to be the Chinese red star, but the minimalist white outline for stealth craft just threw the entire thing off

What are your hopes for the new 6th generation fighter jets

I just hope that they dont replace the F22

😆

F 22 will prob be lasting for a few more decades

It will probably be modernised to a 5+ gen in the late 2020s or the 2030s

F22 is the most advansed fighter afaik

Not gonna get replaced anytime soon

True

In fact its so advanced that until a month ago it was only in the us military

Trump recently allowed Isreal to buy some if im not mistaken

But other than that no other country has them

I am watching Air Aces on American Heroes Channel. The episode about the Red Tails

Y'all should watch Combat Approved.

It's a series of documentaries on Russian military vehicles/aircraft/ships/weapons.

The F-22, like the A-10, wont retire for another 20 years, wven in the presence of 6th and 7th gen fighter craft as it is a reliable interceptor platform that is still lightyears ahead of the game and can be used to train new fighters in stealth fighter combat

Hell, it might receive modifications like the F/A-18 where it can be used for electronic warfare

My grandfather used to fly the Warhog

Says it was one of his favorites

the warthog is good, shame Fairchild Republic went bankrupt so no more are being produced, and also means upgrades to the platform are gonna be difficult to do

wish they woulda sold off the blueprints to someone like Boeing or Lockheed

who could have possibly given us a stealth capable varient with a vastly more up to date computer system

why didn't they do that

:(

A-10 as a 7th gen fighter would be cool

YA-10B Blackout

Mhmm
