Cant recall ever seeing a thread on this topic so i thought it was time we had one... this thread is dedicated to military weaponry of any kind, from any era or nation.
There is a seemingly endless array of novel, fascinating, revolutionary or even ill-fated hardware out there so subject material shouldnt be a problem.
Yeah, the Marine typically gets the slot. Toughest to hold form, and worst during join up. Plus trapped by Rustpickers so feels like the ship. Getting all the bad air from lead, -2 and -3. If -5 and -6 join the diamond like in your pics, really doesn’t bug you.
Stole it from Santini. “To all Squids and Rustpickers...”.
Felt a little bad for a second and then I remembered my Sea times. A squid is the lowest form of marine life. Don’t really think that, as far as you know, Shipmate. Plus I’ll help you: a Jarhead implies you can fill it and you can always tell a Marine- just not much. [Reply]

So in a very low key way thanks to not much ado being made by the media, the Air Force has built and flown it's very own 6th generation fighter jet
Supposedly a twin engine stealth screamer with no vertical stabilizer, giving it an extremely sexy, ufo-like look... a truly amazing feat considering the very short time it took when compared to other cutting edge rollouts like the F35

Our HQ office is at the end of the runway at Andrews Air Force Base just outside the perimeter. They come in and take off super fast. The noise is incredible
Such a beautiful, fast and nimble little roadster [Reply]

Those debuted in a Super Bowl commercial from Northrup Grumman last year IIRC, and many people who follow this stuff closely believe they're the ones who got the AF contract... so it very well could look like that [Reply]
After a looong wait here it is, your first real look at our newest stealth bomber... the B-21 Raider
The pics seem to intentionally leave out certain angles, but its definitely smaller and has an even more rounded, unibody looking seamless construction... sooo pretty, a legit man made UFO
Meet the likely F-16 replacement... the F-36 Kingsnake
This damn thing is absolutely beautiful, supposedly not stealthy but notice how everything we're making now is taking on that delta shape more and more
Wide and flat from the top, brutally simple and sleek as a laser in profile... that thing is flaming HAWT

Yeah its the greatest little sky roadster ever IMO, quicker and more nimble than Tyreek Hill himself... been enamored with what a pretty bird it is since I was a teen
But give it up for the Kingsnake, that thing looks like death incarnate... brutally clean and simple lines, fully modern looking in every way
