F-18 Criticisms in the 80's mirror those of the F-35 today
The F-35 was doomed from the start when different branches wanted different things. Vertical takeoff, stealth shielding, etc.
Recent dogfight tests have shown it loses to earlier jets. Too many compromises hurt it's ability to be a great fighter.
The New Politics (Dust)
lol; that was funny...why does modern design always mean flat touch screens rather than voice, eye tracking, or---switchology? (the HOTAS throttle of a modern fighter jet)...
Far Cry New Dawn: Official World Premiere Gameplay Trailer
Bit of a spoiler for those of us only two lieutenants/sub-bosses into the game...
According to this, after we off his brothers and sister, Father survives and nukes it all anyway. Bit of a let down.
Bought FC5 on a Steam sale last week. The DLC makes it a bit easy. Starting out with free machine guns, free Barrett rifles and a free pseudo Augusta/Bell Jet Ranger gunship is a bit like cheating.
Off-Road Jet Boating
Why doesn't this break the water intake on the jet boat? Because they pull it up as they hit the shallows? (Don't know much about jetboats)

Hypersonic Missile Nonproliferation
Hmmm......the site i ended up on indicated much less progress, perhaps I misunderstood and they were only discussing
DFRJ tests.
I trust wiki has it right.
I can't find any real info on the gll holod, but I would expect it was also launched with a solid rocket/missile if it wasn't pure propaganda. Scram jets just don't work under mach 4-5.
Well, looks like they have been working on scramjets too.
Apparently they made the first flying example ever, in 1991.
Not sure how that squares with the earlier U.S. efforts, maybe because it flew on its own? I donno.

Hypersonic Missile Nonproliferation
All you mention are a far cry from sustained hypersonic powered atmospheric flight, which is what we're talking about here.
You mentioned a ramjet, but scramjet engines are hardly an incremental improvement, they're an entirely different class of jet engine. Ramjet engines only do around mach 2.5- 5, scramjets 4-8+ theoretically. What's needed for a viable weapon imo is the next iteration of dual mode ramjets that can do both with one engine, that's a long way off. Public scramjet engine tests have only been successful in a few short 5 second+- burns so far, launched with conventional solid rockets.
We have conventional missiles that hit hypersonic speeds for short periods. Aim54 fired at altitude checks that mark, and that's a 60's/70's tech missile.
The X15 did it manned, and that first flew in the late 1950's.
Why would Russia not be able to come up with something similar in the last half-century?
Re-entry from orbit is 4x hypersonic. Russia has plenty of experience with the effects.
The Russian p-270 was made in the 80's, and used a ramjet.
This new missile is an incremental improvement over tech they already posses. A higher speed ramjet missile. Hardly a stretch.
It's not like they are spamming the internet with updates just so you can see how they are doing.

Military Helicopters Flyby Under Brooklyn Bridge in NYC
Anyone who's seen a FOD check on an aircraft carrier realises how retarded one helicopter doing this is, let alone a squadron. Chunks of shit fall off those bridges every day just due to age. Not to mention idiot pedestrians actually TRYING to hit one with a beer bottle. One big enough piece of debris into the jet intake and you're in the river.
Dog is my co-pilot
I guess the squirrel was on the jet ski?
Sure, it's all fun and ga.....SQUIRREL!!!

The United States of Arms
It's pretty but what does it say? So - weapons exports: sold to military, sold to civilian, transferred for use in conflict by US military, transferred for us in conflict by other countries? What is included - is a fighter jet a weapon? is a tank a weapon? My point: I don't know whether to be astounded or just "meh". It's data without scale or comparison (e.g. 1/3 of all firearms sold in the USA are produced internationally). Hmmm...
This is what happens when you don't respond to ATC
"On Feb 20th 2017 Air Navigation Services Czech Republic reported, that the actual communication for the hand off from Bratislava to Prague at 15:53Z had been correct (frequency 132.890MHz transmitted and acknowledged), however, the crew subsequently tuned frequency 132.980MHz, the crew did not monitor the emergency frequency. Prague Center spotted another Jet Airways aircraft, flight 9W-122 from Delhi (India) to London Heathrow, flying under control of Rhein Control (Germany) south of the Czech Republic, via Rhein Control and 9W-122 an ACARS message was transmitted to 9W-118 asking them to contact (Prague Center) frequency 132.065MHz. When 9W-118 reported on that frequency at 16:26Z (loss of communication thus lasted for 33 minutes), the aircraft was already in German Airspace and was instructed to contact Rhein Control. Czech ATC immediately informed their military counterpart (Czech control and reporting center) that contact had been re-established."

The crew swapped some digits on channel handover that lead to a comms blackout of 33 minutes. Euro jets already in the air intercepted the passenger jet over Germany and escorted to England.
Those boys and girls don't mess around.
