Great, didn’t use them because I didn’t have time to complete them in one go and I thought they’d vanish… time to (slowly) farm sl then I guess

Lockheed Martin are set to announce a new helicopter on the 13th of October. Looks to be a new UH-60 variant, possibly the famed Stealth Hawk/Ghost Hawk said to have been used for Operation Neptune Spear, the raid that got Osama Bin Laden, or a continuation of it.

Premium? Never heard of that guy
Edit: wait I can only buy one noooooooooo
Was too beautiful to be true
How was I so naive
I’m taking this.
Gear warning horn when?
So germany derailed yet another joint fighter jet program. How many times have they done this at this point?
Which one?
GCAP I think, or the other one
GCAP is UK, Japan and Italy. I believe they mean FCAS which is done by France and Germany

Yeah I meant FCAS. Germany pissed their pants that France wanted to lead the project since, y’know, they’re the only european nation to develop a fully indigenous fighter jet in the past decades on their own without another nation lending help (Grippen doesnt count since the US can literally block sales of the jet, lol, lmao even etc). Naturally the superior germans couldn’t handle it and threw a shitfit and nuked the whole thing no matter how many concessions france was willing to make.
So now we’re probably headed into yet another Rafale/Eurofighter scenario where France manages to develop something on their own by taking advantage of their strong experience unimpaired by untrustworthy partners (Germany is probably the worst partner for just about anything really). Actually seems like France is one of very few countries left that can design, produce and field its own independent aircraft, and then I look at the UK and I just feel sad for them.
Tbh I’m just glad GCAP seems to be going well
Seems to be, that mockup they released gave very strong Ace Combat vibes, let’s hope they can shove a railgun in there somewhere.

Oh so that’s it, the FCAS is completely dead yet? No big surprise tbh, this couldn’t have worked, the same way France in the eap program couldn’t have worked
DoA let’s be real. Literally no joint program with france and germany ever worked, maybe the jaguar I guess…? The fundamental issue is Germans are Atlanticists on a borderline fanatical level, something France really, really doesn’t like (got out of NATO and got their own Nuclear detterence etc etc) so it always leads to a pointless tug of war. And Germany has zero experience building indigenous modern fighters, but still wants to lead, which is comical. Anyway the same dynamics can be found within the EU which is why I personally believe it’s a worthless project on a death spiral (I also detest it’s neoliberal outlook on literally everything but that’s off topic)

The Alphajet also worked I guess, but on something like main combat fighters France and Germany will never be able to agree on requirements and design choices. As for eu, I don’t really share your view but that’s off-topic (yeah, even here lol, I don’t make the rules sorry) so let’s stick to debating hopeless programs
Jaguar was France + UK
Tornado included Germany, but tbf that was never a good plane
At least the Eurofighter exists?
