My dad flew KC-10s for 18 years. I've always wondered how many classified/experimental aircraft he refueled. I asked him once and he refused to talk about it. He said to ask him again on his deathbed.
anyway, cool pic OP

Imagine what the tech support must be like:
"Hello? We have a drone up and it turned towards Moscow, it's armed, with a nuke....no Moscow ID. He Hello, Hello?

Supposedly tanker only, and 2019 Boeing ( good as it gets )

Looks like a copy of a superior Chinese plane modeled after the joint Sino Russian Skoot UCAV.

He was already drunk as fuck the last time i asked him and he still held it together lol. It was at my sister's wedding, one of the top 3 drunkest I've ever seen him. I doubt I'll get another chance like that unless the Flyers win the Stanley Cup.

Honestly it's probably easier to refuel than a manned aircraft, those computers can react faster than a real human and hold station better because of it, plus the relative positions of the two aircraft can be instantly transmitted as precise data instead of relying on eyeballs and verbal instructions.

Technology changed a lot since our days. I still recall maintenance on ka-6d buddy pods!!!! Horror show!!! Thanks for update!

I'd worry more about project Nautilus

Drone warfare is going to be the Maginot Line 2.0, France wanted to preserve the lives of their men and look what that cost them.

Drones.

>this army can not be defeated!
>emp intensifies
>we surrender!
This bullshit is just MIC welfare, this system is getting so broken it's going to collapse the country.

What kind of mythical boomer posting is this?
Ryder Davis
I don’t know honestly, he kinda just posts what he wants, never really responding to what’s asked
At this point he’s just a meme to me

These are the actual MQ-25 proposals:
Top one is from Lockheed's Skunk Works
Middle one is from Boeing's Phantom Works
Bottom one is from General Atomics
None of them will be truly stealthy and they'll all use the same air-to-air buddy refueling pod used on the Super Hornet.
Lockheed's design is purely on paper but has been developed as a clean-sheet design for tanking, Boeing's design has a physical prototype, but it's a modification of their combat drone proposal for the cancelled UCLASS program, so it's not entirely optimised for tanking, General Atomics' design is unbuilt, but would be a variation of their Avenger UCAV, which has been built and sold before.
Regardless of which one is chosen it'll be named the MQ-25 Stingray and they're designed to offload a minimum threshold requirement of 14,000lb of fuel 500 nautical miles from a carrier, though all 3 companies claim they can meet the objective requirement (probably something like 18,000lb at the same distance; the objective requirement is still secret).
Also, although there had been efforts to push this thing forward quickly and see it enter service ASAP, IOC has been postponed all the way back to 2026.

that's a big drone

>What is emp resistance
You're fucking retarded. You might as well claim that armor is obsolete because some weapons are armor penetrating.

Isn't it amazing to know that these marvels of engineering will serve nothing but Israeli foreign policy interests?
Who here HYPE'D for the future?

Are military secrets that important?
