TheGloriousTachikoma Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Quoted from the article: "but the fact is we have some older [build] Lot F-35s that will never be combat coded – we will take those assets, decrease some of their capability, and make them a perfect representation of Chinese threats,” explained Mills." Dang! Aggressor squadrons aren't supposed to fire shots in anger at the enemy. 😛 Also that new camouflage pattern on that F-35 slaps. I might have to add a Meng F35 to the next Spruebrothers order.

airmechaja Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 I'd build another one myself especially if Kursad from Caracal is involved! Hint hint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 From F-16.net, go to the bottom of page 3. Many new angles showing the scheme. It's catchy. https://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=55497&view=unread#unread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
