How do you like that headline. I’m practicing to break into online journalism…so I had to give this a clickbait title. Well…you’re here aren’t you??
Anyway…apparently a QF-4 drone somehow escaped two AMRAAM missiles fired at it and managed to land back at its base. There is some speculation on whether the drone was even supposed to be destroyed by the AMRAAMs launched by the F-35 or if they were just demonstrating engagements or what…lots of unknown unknowns at this point. Still…glad to see the F-4 made it out alive.
And on that fateful day @BeachAV8R fused with War is Boring and Tyler Rogoway, creating an ultimate being of chill luddophlic JSFphobia, plunging the internet into 1,000 years of A-10 articles.
News flash!!! A squadran of f35’s failed to embark on a recent mission due to a computer complexity issue where the looks and affordability logics went into meltdown whilst taxiing past a retired f111.
So, a Tomcat is no better then a Cessna 172 that has been given a “Quite menacing warpaint really, back in m…”, As described by Mrs Wiltshire in 1983 then?
