Whats the backseat driver for?

>>64882790If its so good, why arent there any buyers except these randos?

>>64882791>>64882795I dont understand
>non-stealth
F-35 only has 1 flyer
>>64882802fuck i want to be a billionaire and buy one of these for my home. Like the Warthog project on drugs.
>>64882790He fucks the fat chick at the bar trying to block the cock. Your WSO is also your wingman, and your friend, and he helps you make terrible life decisions.
>>64882794Europe got duped into buying F-35's because of all the sensors and all that bullshit. In reality you just need an really fast bomb/missile truck and some super duper sensor platforms. But the procurement grift and corruption has no limits so that's why it got passed over.
>>64882861Didnt these countries also buy F-35?
>>64882885whys america selling to asians but not to taiwan or china
>>64882886Japs, Koreans and even Singaporeans have committed harder to bilateral US defence alliances than Taiwan hasSad but true>>64882861Seethe and cope, Pierre Mbubu
>>64882861The F-15EX really is the superior option, but the F-35 is its own kind of weapon, it can do a lot of things the F-15 can't do
>>64882794Because they’re fucking expensive, and also because they’re restricted to USAplatinum allies
>>64882847Modern prosumer vr setups can get pretty damn good
>>64882900>it can do a lot of things the F-15 can't doWhich it will never have to do in European service, lets be real. Vatniggers don't have shit and Europe would be better of with harder hitting bomb/missile trucks than the F-35. >>64882893>Seethe and cope, Pierre MbubuBecause European countries objectively bought the wrong fucking jet instead of the SEX-Eagle? Please fuck off, the F-15EX is just all around a better fit and probably a lot cheaper as well. But the entire F-35 production and was ran like a racket with a million fucking subcontractors producing shit.

>>64882790 Moral support. He gives you attaboys and the occasional thumbs up when you do something right. You ever do something fucking sweet and said "I wish someone was here to see that"? That's that guy
>>64882939Why cant it be a woman then?
>>64882939> and the occasional thumbs upThumbs up what?
>>64882790Reacharounds
>>64882886That'll be -5 social credit for implying Taiwan isn't China. Shape up, comrade.
>>64882953Up the ass.
>>64882930It's not cheaper, the EX has a similar EW/avionics suite and radar. it's as 5th gen as a non-stealth aircraft can get.
>>64882947Who said it can't be?
>>64882930>probablyLolLmao
>>64883044Female WSO's are made to be mind broken
>>64882847Actually this would probably be cheaper than warthogproject’s, you’d just need a 32” touchscreen instead of having to find accurate dials etc
>>64882790Tactical headpats
Why don't Boeing copy the Russian innovation of offering a single-seat plane with the same twin-seat canopy?
>>64884081Because Boeing, much like Russia, is not capable of making modern airplanes anymore.

>>64882930A two engine jet cheaper than a singleNo nigga
>>64882790For your husband
>>64883039I can't get over that there's a real plane with a name like an expanded lore mobile suit or variable fighter. 'F-15EX' sounds like something that belongs in Ace Combat 3 as a futuristic variant to justify why it's still flying alongside actual futureshit.

>>64882930There is no reason for anyone in Europe to buy the F-15 when they have their own Typhoon and Rafale to fill the same niche. The only reason they’re buying the F-35 at all is because there is no Europe made stealth fighter. Retards thought defense is overrated and trusted le transatlanic cooperation for two decades.>>64882861Pure eurocope. Stealth is still massively useful against Russia, even today. Should have built own euro stealth fighter instead of buying F-35.
>>64884081EX is already optional second seat dear retard.
>>64884428I bet they fuck like fighter jets
>>64884588>>64884519i havent laughed in days
Whatever you want.
>>64885082Could you shitpost on /k/ while 14k feet in the air?
>>64882790F-15EX? F-1 SEX
>>64882790weapons officeraka gunner
>>64882790the back seaters main job is lightening the pilot's workload so he can concentrate of flying the aircraft: extra pair of eyesoperates radaroperate the targeting pod/laser designator for LGBsnavigationmanaging systemsradio comms
>>64884614It's not optional on F-15EX, they all have second seats.On the single-seat models of MiG-29K, MiG-29M2 and MiG-35 replace the rear seat with avionics and use the extra internal space for fuel.I am curious why in spite of it being single-seat originally, Boeing doesn't offer a single-seat version of F-15 nowadays, with the F-15EX being re-focussed on air combat like F-15A/F-15C. It's mainly using the Strike Eagle airframe simply because it's the only one that remained in production since the 1990s, through export orders.Even if a single seater was using the twin-seat canopy to save production cost.
>>64885479One argument I've seen is that with mixed manned/UCAV sorties the backseaters are expected to be operating the drones and keeping an eye on the more complex sensor picture they create.I'm sure that if someone really wanted one Boeing would be happy to make it, much easier to take some stuff out and move some other things around than to add new gear, but the current buyers all seem happy having a WSO.
>>64882930Europe could not possibly have spent their money better than by subsidizing American F-35 development. They should just pitch in money and get no planes, it's not like they need air forces.
will F-47 have two seats?
>>64885523There's only one god-emperor, therefore only one seat
>>64885544>god emperorI thought we stopped that gay shit
>>64885523>>648855233 engines 3 seatsMid engine will be a combined cycle Gas Discharge Laser coupled plasma thruster
What the fuck is the purpose of the f-15ex if it doesn innovate anyfucking thing and uses the same frame as f-15e? this is straight up money laundering
>>64884428More like ExHusband
>>64882790mid flight bro job
>>64885721>what is the point of giving an older airframe more modern equipment so that it remains relevant while not costing as much as a newer generationretard
>>64885781Yeah you dont need to build more shit to do that. Swap out the radars and shit. This is 100% money laundering and further proof of the rot within the pentagon and the department of war.
>>64885789>Yeah you dont need to build more shit to do thatYou do when the airframe in question has been flying since the 1970s and is falling apart, you fucking retard.
>>64885789>Yeah you dont need to build more shit to do that.Yes you do, dumbass. Airframes have a limited lifespan, new production is ABSOLUTELY necessary.

>>64885721okay check this out, listen to me for a minute. The F-15EX isn't a recycled F-15. It's a whole new aircraft. It has top of the line electronics warfare capabilities.It has top of the line radar and IRST.The WSO handles the CCA and other auxiliary capabilities. This thing can hold a metric fuck ton of AMRAAMs, Aim 9Xs, AND fuel pods AND other shit. This is as much a F-15E as it is a school bus.
