Go into combat? The fucking thing's gun won't even fire -
the software to do that won't be ready until 2019. Carrying what else, four JDAMs and angry thoughts?
God willing someone will finally pull the plug on this disaster.
But what am I saying? This is the brain trust that cancelled the A12 and said "Oh the F/A-18-E/F can do it all!"
*facepalm*
With that said the Russians/USSR developed plenty of "dud" aircraft (and vehicles). Their museums are dotted with them...
