  1. Shooter was a loony, end of story. 200 feet up, you think these drone operators had a telescopic lens to get detail of those girls? Otherwise they're fapping to a picture taken from a potato. All of you guys trying to come up with ways to defeat drones, I'd love to make a living of you guys by making countermeasures
  2. The gearbox would not be able to handle that torque. Tesla tried to make a two speed if I recall correctly but failed to make it last
  3. You seem to come back to this thread an awful lot for a car you have no interest in. Scared?
  4. Chris Harris drove the Speciale, GT3 RS, and the 675LT recently. Guess which one he regrets not buying...
  5. I love the Speciale, but I'd take a LT over one with no hesitation. This car is Veyron fast
  6. Your loss. This is one hellavu car. Nothing in the segment is even close
  7. T minus 1 hour and 30 minutes until embargo lifts. Reviews and vids will all be released. Can't wait
  8. Not only that, the motor has much improved engine response, it will rev up faster. New crankshaft, revised heads, much more fuel flow, and 6 kg shaved from the motor.
  9. What was your trap speed?
  10. More than a run for the money. Total annihilation is more like it
  11. I guarantee, no A-10 pilot would ever want to be on the front lines of say invading Russia. They would get torn apart by Zeus AAA, and pretty much any SAM system they field. Against third world countries, sure, no problem. You fly with impunity. In a SAM hot zone, that is as worthless as a Cessna
  12. That does not make any sense. Why even make a stealth aircraft if you are going to count on jamming? And the enemy will have AWACs too. Il-76 or alternative, in addition to ground radar. And btw, the T-50 would annihilate the F-35 in any heads up. The T-50, even if it couldn't reach top speed, would still be faster than the F-35, it would have higher thrust than the F-35, and its avionics are only marginally worse. It still has IRST. It would carry more air to air missiles, and they are not inferior to western weapon systems.
  13. I'm not entirely convinced it's a jack of all trades. In my mind, it's a fighter bomber along the lines of how the F-117 was described as a "fighter". Don't even think of taking this to go air to air against any modern Sukhoi, Mig, Gripen, Eurofighter, Rafale, etc. It's a trillion dollar design trainwreck.
  14. No, it's not untouchable. Any 4th gen fighter + with HOBS/AIM-9X and helmet mounted cuing sight would blow the F-35 out of the sky. It cannot turn, it cannot shoot, it cannot pitch or roll as fast as its competition. For crying out loud, the B variant and C variant are limited to under 7.5 G's in clean config. A F-16 with full load can do that. A clean F-16 can pull 9 G's fairly easily. The F-35A can do that, but it bleeds energy like no tomorrow. Yes, the F-22 should have gotten helmet mounted cuing and AIM-9X sooner. Guess what, because of the money hole the F-35 is, the F-22 cannot get the funding it needs to obtain these quicker/at all. We should have chosen the YF-23 to begin with. A F-16 with AFTI canards, VISTA 3d thrust vectoring, and XL cranked arrow wing would have been a far superior setup to the F-35. Cheaper by an order of magnitude as welll.
  15. Curious as to the run against lambda lambda lambda and the lambda lambda lambda and the omega mu mu. Really seems like DCT is the way to go as there is still hesitation between the shifts with the air-shifted sequential. lambda lambda lambda and the lambda lambda lambda and the omega mu mu's pull seemed "smooth" in comparison.
