Like the YF-23 for instance. It was superior to the F-22. Better stealth, faster speed and just as agile.
It wasn't though.
The YF-deisgn was more unstable
Well. This is suspicious as all hell. Lol. Someone in Procurement got bribed.
I'm surprised surviving injured Marines didn't firebomb the manufacturer's HQ.The military-industrial complex in a nutshell. Honestly I wonder sometimes if they don't fuck things up on purpose so as to draw out the development phase after they have the contract as an excuse to milk more money out of it.
what is your point? are you saying we should cut them slack, or saying that it is even worse than we thought?You do know both if them are havnt show the attack versions yet right?
Snd that Defiant still didn't have the engine it was supposed to have after all these years?
No, I'm saying the Army chose the one that actually met deadlineswhat is your point? are you saying we should cut them slack, or saying that it is even worse than we thought?
meeting deadlines is very much not the impression i got from the video linked.No, I'm saying the Army chose the one that actually met deadlines
It's Angry Cops.meeting deadlines is very much not the impression i got from the video linked.
Angry cops seem to have legitimate criticisms here though.It's Angry Cops.
Which ever one win, he would have made the video.
The whole thing is the UH 60 is completely outdated and too slow.
He also doesn't look at how the Oesprey is favored by Marines over the Huey they jahe due to its fast flying capabilities.
The Valor still has a lot to go but AC is just having fun with the video.
You can look at various other Youtubers who have broken down the diffrence
You do know Blackhawks are having increased crashes due to age right?Angry cops seem to have legitimate criticisms here though.
one of the two new replacement choppers has only 1 video of it actually flying... which is actually a low quality greenscreen with crappy CGI.
the other one crashed on the first test flight, and has been grounded from 2017 to 2019 due to the developer not being able to figure out how to make its drive train work.
Yea the current choppers are old and it would be great to get an upgrade.
That doesn't mean throw money at any conman that comes your way
then build new ones from the same designYou do know Blackhawks are having increased crashes due to age right?
fair enough. although that does not look like anywhere near the 300+ mph quoted figure.And you donknow the Valor has plenty of footage of it flying? More then the defiant.
The footage he showed was of it as an attacker since that version hasn't even been made yet.
