    Not disagreeing or agreeing, but it is an awesome piece of engineering. Build a monster gun and make it fly. Wish the government and public put this much effort into domestic projects. Much like the SR71

    Been seeing A-10’s doing flyovers of my city last few days. Flying in pairs. Pretty sick machines.

      It’s probably preferable to control it remotely anyway. I wonder if the hard points still work

    Why does this look real? What could this possibly be used for? For a second I thought maybe for radar cross section testing but that stand would light up like the fucking sun.

    Seems like some setup for some kind of test range but I’m stumped.
