Very dumb question. But wouldn't it be good to paint one of these planes to look like a passenger jet or Fedex cargo jet?
If there is a world war/end of the world type event, would there be a benefit to blending in? Or would it not matter the enemy would be able to tell?
I guess the jet meant to blend in would not be covered in a military blog.
- remarkEon 6y agoThey’d be able to tell.
- dogma1138 6y agoAnything in visual range could tell what it is rather quickly. Any SIG/ELINT capable aircraft would also be able to tell what it is. It also isn’t going to be flying without escort in any real use nor it’s ever intended to be used in contested or denied airspace. This just allows POTUS to be in a secure and mobile location while a more permanent solution can be found even tho it’s capable of being refueled in flight and has supplies for days if not weeks this isn’t intended to be used as a long term solution the engines can’t run indefinitely even if it constantly gets refueled.
