I need one of those!

When you figure it out, get me a copy! :D

That was impressive with a capital I. :|\\ Thanks Lockheed Martin. :up:

The one thing that I love about watching US defence company videos is the music they tie to it. Good old rock tunes with plenty of guitar riffs and drums. :rock: :rock:

Along with the gorgeous looking B1 bomber also thanks. :smug:

I'm not impressed at all. That thing is far too easy to shoot down - just look at how slow it flies.
:rotfl:

Great I Always Knew The Toilet Was The Safest Place To Hide In. :D

I've been in the cockpit of a B-1. Talk about cramped! I think you have more room in a fighter like an F-16!

-S

Why would you want one of those. From the video it seems like every one of them crashes and explodes. :nope:

I think it still needs a little more work. :know:

:rotfl::rotfl:

But but but.... Isn't that the idea? Remote controlled kamikaze fighter bomb thingie!

Just watched that again. You really don't want to screw with Americans. They have some sort of fetish for weapons and making them do cool things! :D What most of you probably didn't realize about many of these shots is that the JASSM is penetrating concrete for an extended period of travel before detonating! That means these Lockheed Engneers designed this thing to withstand extremely high G impacts surviving without deactivating the kill vehicle! It still works after an extremely high G impact, penetrating, and then it is going off like a bat out of hell!

I'll give it this - Americans are creative with their weaponry! Never seen something like this in video!

-S

Wait, wait. You mean you've never heard of the GBU-28? The legendary "bunker buster" bomb? Time delay systems on bombs aren't that new. They are still freaking awesome, though. :yep:

They are when they are a high tech cruise missile!

-S

Well, I guess for a missile. Still impressive.
