just like that

Don't forget, the box on top of the rotor is a camera system, which is how they can mark targets from behind hard cover

You'd never see em coming until it's too late

They had one at the air show this summer.

I would be terrified to see one of those on the battlefield coming straight for me

why not use one of these bois

@Legiondude thought that was a radome/sensor package, and that the camera system was in the nose

^

@Deleted User why use one of those, they have no AA, just use a warthog for the loiter time, payload, and that sweet sweet brrrt

@Antiboom If you want long loiter time, why not use this?

brrrt

I love how we're bringing back light attack aircraft.

*Classic.*

I have concerns how they'd fare against other developed countries, but they're excellent for counter-terror

You wouldn't use them against developed countries

only against little shits with no air capacity

like luxembourg

Like the foothills of the Himalayas

or luxembourg

I think the (quite possibly misguided) idea behind the f-35 is that it can be used in counterterror, but still be viable against developed countries

lol yeah, I've found that argument pretty retarded
