They're retiring it sometime in 2026 I think

2018-11-27 13:56:13 UTC  

Seriously, it's an amazing piece of aircraft, and has saved so many military personal

2018-11-27 13:56:14 UTC  

I'll try find it.

2018-11-27 13:56:16 UTC  

I think the are stopping production around 2020-25

2018-11-27 13:56:16 UTC  

pisses death all over you while making funny noises

2018-11-27 13:56:18 UTC  

Are they making an updated version?

2018-11-27 13:56:22 UTC  

idk

2018-11-27 13:56:22 UTC  

Nope.

2018-11-27 13:56:24 UTC  

don't think so dim

2018-11-27 13:56:25 UTC  

They are notoriously expensive to maintain

2018-11-27 13:56:28 UTC  

When it's needed @Dimorac

2018-11-27 13:56:30 UTC  

why fix a good thing?

2018-11-27 13:56:31 UTC  

Watch this

2018-11-27 13:56:34 UTC  

They just destroy

2018-11-27 13:56:40 UTC  

the armored personal carrier

2018-11-27 13:56:41 UTC  

They're thinking of using the F-35 for ground attack missions, Dim.

2018-11-27 13:56:45 UTC  

The BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR is every mans wet dream and every terrorist's fucking nightmare

2018-11-27 13:56:49 UTC  

I've clipped it at the correct time

2018-11-27 13:56:49 UTC  

the F-35 GAU 22 is a beaut aswell

2018-11-27 13:56:55 UTC  

And despite their practicality and psychological impact, there's been a push to retire them for years

2018-11-27 13:56:55 UTC  

^

2018-11-27 13:56:55 UTC  

a10 will always have that role though

2018-11-27 13:57:00 UTC  

are the a-10's becoming lemons now Sech?

2018-11-27 13:57:08 UTC  

nothing deals with tanks better than a warthog

2018-11-27 13:57:12 UTC  

coloquially known as the "equalizer"

2018-11-27 13:57:13 UTC  

They've been lemons for a long time

2018-11-27 13:57:21 UTC  

GAU 22 is a smaller brrrt

2018-11-27 13:57:25 UTC  

On the f-35

2018-11-27 13:57:29 UTC  

I know

2018-11-27 13:57:35 UTC  

but it's still beautiful

2018-11-27 13:57:38 UTC  

They're old and they take a fuckl9ad of abuse just operating

2018-11-27 13:57:38 UTC  

Gau 8 fires 30mm rounds

2018-11-27 13:57:46 UTC  

and it means the F-35 can have more than just the main gun

2018-11-27 13:57:51 UTC  

Naval guns are fun

2018-11-27 13:57:53 UTC  

idk leeroy a dead center nuke would fuck a tank

2018-11-27 13:57:53 UTC  

But they do their job so well we just kept using them

2018-11-27 13:57:56 UTC  

It fits perfectly snug too, Mossad.. The design of that plane is really well done.

2018-11-27 13:57:57 UTC  

Aircrafts take a lot to maintain

2018-11-27 13:57:59 UTC  

did I hear right that they can fly with one wing though?
