Russia Unveils Pilotless ‘Stealth’ Bomber

[Mayday]

I do enjoy a good fiction once in awhile, but I'm not so sure WWII wold quite classify as fiction.

Oh...yeah...That kind of divine wind. The original suicide bombers. My bad. I was making an obscure reference to an even more obscure topic in a fiction book based on the Napoleonic Wars. (Nerd alert!)

Nerd alert!

Alert duly noted.

The questions that come to my mind are... Will Russia actually be able to fund any significant production of this aircraft??? How and where will they employ it? And more importantly... why would they employ it?

All good questions, throw into the mix: who will they sell it/the designs to?

Good point... I guess time will tell... They've sold Iraq/Iran/North Korea plenty of their aicraft already... hmmm.

They'll sell it to...the SCATMAN!

Currently, the Skat is only a full size mockup, but the Russians say they will have a flying prototype in the air within two years.



Any bets if they can make it work in 2 years ?
