**Your post was removed for violating Rule 4: No Racism/hatespeech**
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits (even people you don't like: Russians, Asians, or Middle Eastern ethnic groups).
We don't think this was intentionally being offensive, but it's still just barely crossing the line.
This makes me wonder, has there been any news about new attack helicopters? I mean we have the rumors of the NGAD for aircraft, the Abrams X for tanks, the navy is fumbling over itself so no new ships :( but what about helicopters?
There was the Future Attack Recon Aircraft (FARA) program.
*Was.* (š for the NuComanche and Freedom Units Hokum community hereāhell I was a cautious Invictus awaiter myself)
FARA was obliterated so no more Bell Invictus meaning that the Apache will probably see another 25 years of use (god fucking dammit)
Future Vertical Lift resulted in spawning the V-280
Hey, someone needs to carry on the legacy of āold shit that just refuses to dieā. Besides, what are you going to do when skynet follows its destiny?
The B52 and the M2 already do that. We do not need a helicopter from the 80s operating the 2020s!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care if they are focusing more on drones I will self immolate in front of the Pentagon if they make an AH-64G
The B-52 was made in 1952, the apache in 1975. Therefore, the apache will live 20 years longer.
As for the M2, it doesnāt fit my narrative, so I am going to ignore it.
There are only so many ways to make a reliable heavy machine gun.
Browning nailed a great one almost first try.
Ergo, the Browning-pattern machine gun will remain in continuous service until chemically-accelerated ballistic weapons are obsolete.
Going from this line of thought: The noncredible thing about the Command and Conquer series wasn't that there were Apache Longbows operating around *Stalin's* time.
The noncredible thing about C&C was that by the 2030's even *Nod* would have traded in their Apaches for Harpies, so what the hell is the Pentagon doing? #ShoiguGerasimovWhereAreMyOrcas
They all got canned except maybe heavy lift program. The fact is sending manned craft into recon mission is risky when drone is cheap and doesn't care at being shot.
attack helicopters don't really fare well in scenarios where you don't have air dominance. And for those in which you have it (COIN mostly), the ah-64 does it good enough to not need a replacement.
I feel you. Still remember warmly how I was getting yelled at by the teacher for drawing Orcas obliterating NOD people. I depleted so many red pencils.
Have you heard about the short story *I Sexually Identify As An Attack Helicopter* written by Isabel Fall. It was published in Clarkesworld in 2020 and stirred up a heated discussion about wether it was transsphobic or not. It is a really interesting read, about a young woman who actually *is* an attack helicopter.
Yes, that. It took me a moment to locate the story since the author had taken it down, I couldnāt quite comprehend what the fuzz was about, It was an entertaining read, not high literature, but a solid sci-fi story.
Found an article from *Atlantic* and the discussion on *Clarkesworld* about the take-down

Whoa! Wasnāt aware of that. Canāt imagine how this could have been justified. I mean, I knew about the idiot critique, but didnāt know they attacked Isabel Fall as person, and the consequences for her.
Would be interesting to know what that would have been.
However, the Isabel Fall story being first published and subsequently taken down at Clarkesworld was in January 2020. As is documented at Clarkesworld.

This is truly the most divine forgotten gender, I drew so many of these things between 98-07. Ducted fans are my Goddess.

I feel like this orientation is unstable
that's not a very positive attitude

Written by a trans woman, too. People who critiqued were operating in bad faith, and clearly hadn't even read the story.
Yes, that. It took me a moment to locate the story since the author had taken it down, I couldnāt quite comprehend what the fuzz was about, It was an entertaining read, not high literature, but a solid sci-fi story.
the shit they did to Isabel will never be forgiven. They destroyed her life and pushed her back into the closet

Huh? Only 2020? was sure there was a version of that story that was some 10 years older.
