But he is the weapon

doggos are awesome

I remember having that kind of remote

God it feels weird seeing one of those in this day and age

who else is lowkey creeped out that all the new remotes have mics

My parents has one

If you've got bombs or missiles coming down on you, I doubt you're going to care if it's an old Cropduster biplane or a supersonic jet fighter, the explosives in those canisters work the same either way.

🙋‍♂️

Its weird

Just take away the propellers on the old planes and replace them with a jet engine

Most prop planes are used in the drug war in south America

That doesn't really work, the airframes can't take the increased stress.

Make them better

Duh

There usually armed to the teeth

yes, and let them rip themselves apart when they break the sound barrier <:KEK:795742276549607456>

Use the old blueprints but use better materials

ngl tho, most planes are surprisingly durable

Well, if that's the argument, then wouldn't it just be cheaper to manufacture a new plane?

No

Takes too long

Not really.

Assembly line takes less time than tearing apart an old plane and rebuilding it from the ground up.

eh, it depends to what extent your re-engineering them. R&D can cost billions on its own, so upgrading existing planes often works well. That's how we are able to fly our f16s and a10s thirty years in, b/c we upgrade the hell out of them to keep up with the times

It's the same reason why recycling isn't more of a thing here in the US. It's cheaper to dig the new materials out of the ground, takes less man-hours of work to do, and doesn't require any added infrustructure.

What if we took all of the best planes rn and just smashed them together

Ummm no

I wonder if I could fit a few lewis lmg or water cooled 1919s on my cessna 172 for ww1 larping

Congratulations, you are now using the exact logic of the Biafra Babies.

yes, but if your not recycling the entire plane, rather just improving its computer systems or updating its weaponry, you can save money but utilizing the original jet.

Also we're abit off topic

Yeah, but he talking about prop planes tho.

Several countries still fly proplanes

True.

tourbo-props in particular are very capable, and the U.S was considering replacing the A10 with a turboprop

i gun pew

Oh lol didnt think someone knew of that

Also, if you're replacing the airframe then, yes you are basically tearing the plane completely apart.

It's nerf or something you know the thing

I need one of those
