Will it have a combat avoidance feature? In keeping with the man it's named after.
F-47 bonespur
6,000 rounds of tactical bone spurs in each wing
So we have the legendaries:
P51 Mustang
F14 Tomcat
F22 Raptor
A10 Warthog
F117 Nighthawk
SR71 Blackbird
And then:
F47 Trump? 🤢🤮🤮🤮
It's gonna suck seeing that in aviation history books.
F47 Krasnov
Will it be orange too?
I don't really consider this unbelievable.
What a fucking idiot.
Should call it the AK-47
Aerospace Krasnov 47
Who exactly is having trouble believing this?
Wait. Is this motherfucker jealous that he isn't Canadian? Is this just projection?
Elon is going to fire him for giving Boeing the contract
Sooo like all boeing and recent jets its going to be an absolute piece of trash... fitting realy..
If it ain't an A-10 Warthog going brrrrrrr with its 30mm canon I sleep.
Let the ‘hog die the graceful end it deserves - in the hearts and memories of ground pounders. The Frogfoots are getting wrecked in Ukraine when they try to do CAS, that mission is over unless you’re splattering goat herders, and even militants have MANPADs now.
Super Tucano is all you need for low intensity/asymmetrical conflict and COIN, otherwise busting tanks is better done by ATGMs and AT mines.
I'm sorry, the A-10 is the most American aircraft to ever be engineered. Think about it, when it first debuted it didn't give two shits about friendlies of foes. That motherfucker just sprayed and prayed, often to our allies dismay. But over time she proved useful and outright scary when you heard those beautiful brrrrrrrts, like a glorious and triumphant eagle scream. They've tried to retire her a million times, she's persevered. She'll always has a glorious spot in my heart.
Edit 2: On a serious note, yes using the A-10 for CAS isn't in Ukraine's cards, but that doesn't mean she's out of the fight! 💪
... with pieces blown off it and still fighting...
💪, just as she'd want!
