It might be shaped and sized differently, but yes.

Easy - award Space-X $300K to envision some aircraft.

It’ll be better, cheaper, faster.

How about a composite fleet of a manned aircraft accompanied by X number of pilotless, low-observable CCAs - collaborative combat aircraft tasked withe different roles, like ISR/EW, SEAD, scout penetrator, AA truck, and several weapons ‘trucks’. Oh, and one or two tanker drones. That way, one crewed aircraft - CCAs = an entire mission. All interconnected by TTNT — the zippy new Tactical Targeting Network Technology, like a hive mind. Think Starship Trooper bugs, but for the good guys.

“has been at the center of unfounded claims” AP

As a long-term Ga election official/ poll worker, I can tell you the “claims” are NOT unfounded, based on what I saw in the videos, and the data discrepancies widely reported.

Where’s the “That’s a shame” gif?

True - WAAAAY to much non-butter oil in it.

I usually buy the Irish butters at Publix, since they are the closest to the real butter your great grandmother churned.

The worst butter you can cook with are the low end store brands.

We Tu Lo was the PIC?

If the system works by oxidizing hydrogen, it produces an emission so to speak - water vapor.

Unless they are capturing that water vapor, which they’d have to condense to water.

I’d have to care enough to read more.

this smells of a perpetual motion machine, at the moment.

2000 LOW PAYING, low-skill jobs.

Good stuff.

This is especially true when you add in the fact so many of the people are bereft of critical thinking skills.

And we watched where those trucks went.

15. Pick 15.

I’m sure the COB is STILL rearranging someone’s day ...

Perhaps the crew, having never fired a war shot, screwed up the arming?

It was old, past its X-date?

Dog ate their homework?

It’s really odd a Mark 48 MISSED a perpendicular ‘easy’ shot.

The BIG news here is that a Mark 48 MISSED!

Speed boats with an automatic weapon on the bow.

Effective on coastal traders.

But the money was not returned.

oops, ya caught us!

Point taken, and you are correct.

If I had written precisely, I would have written “you can’t mount the GAU‑8/A Avenger, a 30 mm, seven‑barrel, hydraulically‑driven Gatling‑style autocannon. Too big.

Ya cant mount that 30mm chain gun on a helo, and helos are fragile in comparison. Also they are slower.

I think its better to say an MH-60 can perform some of the missions an A10 can.

PS I searched for pics of helicopters that survived a shoulder launched SAM hit. Couldn’t find any.
