| Not sure it's a great fit for Hackernews.

| The rest is classified, so this is all you ever gonna get.

| I've been watching the F 35 at the Baltimore Flyover this

|
| Lucky pilots that get to fly this tech and dawn that helmet.

| Same lol.

| Seeing this thing show off its tech in the flesh was
| incredible.
|
| The ability for it too scrub off speed from full tilt at 2000
| mph is just beyond imaginable.

| If something is chasing you at full speed, and you can just hit
| the brakes mid air; suddenly the hunter becomes the prey lol

| Sure, but do we really need pilots anymore?

| Anything truly valuable is of course classified. This is to

| about what billions are spent on. It's a delicate and awkward
| dance.

| 10K rocket need a CWIS to take down that cost 50K to shoot.
