What is it? Good question.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
"One avenue of speculation is to look at gaps in the USAF's line-up. One obvious example is high-precision stealth attack"
ReplyDeleteExcept that the perfumed princes in the Pentagon insist that the F-35 is going to fulfill that role. Though it turns out the F-35 is considerably less stealthy than promised and likely can't do it, these people have bet their careers on the F-35.
Three in formation suggests that this is a late-period prototype, as in, development is largely finished and it is only one step away from full-scale production. The only reason to fly three in formation would be to train the initial cadre of pilots who in turn will train the other pilots. You don't fly an active development "black" aircraft in formation because if something's wrong with the design you want one plane to fall out of the sky, not three. You have a couple of chase planes so there's eyewitnesses if there's something that goes wrong that kills the pilot before he punches out, but they're something boring like a T-38.
So the question is: What is it? We know about the SR-71 being retired, and now the U-2 is being retired, could it perhaps be some kind of new stealth recon design? Except the perfumed princes have settled on drones as the solution to recon and again, they have too invested in that notion to change their minds.
We'll find out when we find out, I suppose. I'm just amused that Northrop after all these years and mergers is *still* trying to make flying wing designs work for things they really aren't well suited for.
And Global Hawk hasn't worked out. The Aurora project apparently was a failure, thee hasn't been a sighting of it since the `90s.
ReplyDeleteThe boyos out at Groom Lake and in the various Skunk Works keep playing with things. This might be one of them. But why fly it over a heavily-populated area in the middle of the day?
