Hey everybody the F-22 now has a 100% win rate in air-to-air engagements. Utterly destroyed every single air target it’s engaged without taking a scratch. Woo USA number 1.
Oh wow, you defeated hot air in a bag. Congrats.
We are reaching World War I levels of air superiority here.
lmao
Inb4 buncha coping libs with “AKSCHUALLY it was designed primarily as a ground attack craft and it’s very efficient at that role sweetie”
Just like the F-35. It’s a kamikaze ground attack aircraft (it eliminates the ground by crashing into it).
Well that’s one way to make loitering munitions
They’re so good at loitering that they sometimes don’t even make it off the ground.
Best part, it probably only cost the Chinese only a number of thousands to make the balloon, but to shoot one down costs the US somewhere in the ballpark of $2m USD per balloon.
China should send a few thousand empty balloons over the US, since for every 500 China sends the US would blow $1b in defense budget if they shot them all down (this is a joke… kinda…).
They shot down an hobbyist balloon in a similar way, er could put thousands of 12€ balloons in the air, and if we’re lucky they’ll reach the US one day, and they will have to drain their defence budget on them and can’t focus on stopping socialism
(this is your mind when you live in Rome)
