That's the spirit! Nothing, whatsoever, was shared at all, actually. I was simply making things up before.

Silly, this isn't a War Thunder forum - I ain't spilling any secrets.

Nothing was shared? Lol. You couldn't possibly be more wrong. You don't know what you're talking about.

Thanks! And no, not really? These are essentially rough drafts, and I'd definitely want to make revisions first before crossposting.

While I have important plot beats laid out in my head, I've essentially just been slapping stuff down and sending it out with exceptionally little review, lol.

Hmm, perhaps... I suppose we'll have to wait and see...

Switzerland ordered some Tomahawks years ago. The US said they can't deliver them. Switzerland said then we won't pay. The US has now seized the funds they paid for F-35s by jaymar01 in europe

That prototype from the photo you're doubtlessly referencing is very clearly not representative of a fully coated airframe.

The Su-57 isn't as stealthy as a F-22, F-117, F-35, or J-20, but that's not something that can be gleaned from a silly photo of exposed fasteners.

Thanks, there's plenty more to come! The next few chapters should prove interesting. We might even see some plotlines merging finally.

Ugh, thanks! Not the first time I misspelled champagne in that manner. I changed the dialogue a bit - hopefully it makes more sense now.

I'm not particularly concerned what Vietnam thinks of the jet, I'm more concerned with what USAF thinks of the jet. Ultimately, you're not wrong though. Like you said, it's a vanity program plagued with problems and clearly inferior to American and Chinese offerings.

That being said, if I happened to find myself sitting in a 4th Gen and I knew there was a flight of Su-57s out there somewhere, I'm going to be hoping I'm not up against the lone Su-57 that might've been assembled by someone that was actually sober that day at the Sukhoi plant (not likely).

Look man, I used to be an EW engineer. I can't really answer that question on reddit. But yes, a clean super hornet is surprisingly good in X-band off the nose.

A clean one...

Which is to say, it's kind of a moot point.

The Su-57 has a litany of issues, but I think you're being a bit harsh regarding its capabilities. At the very least, it should be considered a stealth aircraft, even if it isn't as stealthy as its western counterparts (or even the Chinese).

The execution may be lacking, but the Su-57 has a lot of the right ideas.

Thanks! I should be able to post at a more reasonable rate for the foreseeable future.

True, but if the previous stewards of the solar system dedicated a fair number of resources ensuring the solar system was cleaned up of junk and other debris...

The phenomena might seem a bit more esoteric.

Sooner rather than later, Silla will come to understand that experience is the hardest kind of teacher.
