Bring back the Arrow
- lwansbrough 5mo agoSomething new please. We should be looking forward not pining for what could have been. The future of air superiority, particularly with respect to sovereign defence is passive or quantum radar, autonomous A2/AD and directed energy.
- 8note 5mo agowe can still call it an arrow though or a whole series of arrows
- stackghost 5mo agoThe Arrow would be a terrible, terrible aircraft for today's world. It was built to shoot down Soviet bombers coming over the North Pole. It could not perform air superiority missions because it was too big to be agile. It could maybe be a strike fighter, but generally its reputation overstates just how good it would have actually been.
