MT-LB with ZSU-23-2
A rather conventional pairing with a standard twin gun mounted atop the tractor in a manner similar to the many, many ZSU improvised gun carriages seen over the decades.

I am all for this MTLB posting.
Poor Motilga, used so much for weirder and weirder field “modifications”
Honestly idk
North American NA-40
Shes the slightly chubby, forgotten aunt of the Mitchell family who never gets a party invite. Isn’t it about time that injustice was corrected.
Convair XB-46
Squeezed from existence, literally and figuratively, by the B-45 and B-47. The XB-46 design came out looking like a Canberra where length and span were accidentally switched from cm to inches stretching her out like spaghetti.
Looks like a B-24 and B-25 got a little dirty…
To me F-22 looks normal and a natural evolution of a design like F-15 to stealth territory.
Whereas YF-23 is comparitvely more advanced and sort of alien like.
To someone uninformed if we tell them that F-23 is the newest modern stealth aircraft and is the evolution of F-22 as well its replacement… they’d surely believe it.
(Northrup even tried recently to reuse YF-23 design for Japan’s stealth project proposal)
The F-22 is just kind of blocky and coarse, I think you explained it well it really just takes too much from it’s predecessors
Now that you say it … from blockyness standpoint, F-22 does lack any curves we associate with aircrafts … only thing blockier than that was the F-117, but that was just a origami project.
In contrast, YF-23 and F-35 have comparitvely less blockyness.
Added the 2nd for chassis comparison from same view angle
I think it’s more of a balance, because the F-117 is a PlayStation 2 plane but something like the B-21 is blocky but still has the smoothness that the YF-23 has
B-21 is nearly 2D … I still can’t grasp that its real and not just a rendered CGI
Every time I look at it I see a UFO, it really is awesome what we can make
Tank concept between the USSR, USA, Germany and France, but went no-where, I have a whole PDF talking about it, but i cannot send a PDF file like that here, if someone is really curious, then I guess i could send it via Discord.
