    Christ...are we still in a useless arms race? Just give us enough shit to wipe out China after our economy collapses and we're set.

    Does have a lot of YF-23 in the design. The top down view is all Raptor.

    That's incredible! Obviously there's things you can't talk about but what were you tasked with working on?
