bah hum bug..

*shrug* well some one had to say it.

erm havent read full thread, but Why would the US be silly enough to do such a thing? look at the charts, they have nuclear facilities in some inhospitable places.

wow completely missed this..

oh well crashes happen the more complex a system the more likely it is to develope a fault, nature.

Any news of what actually happened from people who know ? briefings etc

I wonder if this thing has shielding and so on .. protection against emps’

Get over it, Tomcat-fans. It’s time has passed and it’s role is largely gone. I have no worries the the Super Hornet will perform well and let us all sleep quietly at night…..

The super hornets time passed during the conception stage and look what happened to that!

They kept on lowering the requirements until the Super Bluper got passed. Its great.. its a ford model A! You can have it for any role you want as long as you dont mind it performing the role poorly.

what happened to the Israeli built fast attack boats or something T-83 ?? any pictures on these ? where they missile boats ?? a replacement for the types that saw action in ’71?

Enjoy

The initial cost of a UCAV programme is high, albeit lower than that of a manned aircraft
programme, for the UCAV is not a small-scale model but will need, if it is to conduct the same
missions and offer the same capabilities, the same characteristics as the aircraft it is replacing. In other
words, a Predator carrying sophisticated guided munitions is not the equivalent of an F-15 or F-16,
wheareas an X-45 (Boeing), X-47 (Northtrop Grumman) or a Neuron (Dassault), are already perceived
as complementary to, and future successors of, the F-16 and F-35/JSF, F-18A and Rafale aircraft. In
terms of design and materials there is currently no obstacle to such a development. The major
challenge is to transform these robots into autonomous entities equipped with artificial intelligence.
