Misread this as "Amazing Abandoned Military PROJECTS" and was prepared to get mad again about the FB-22. Basically, we only have a few B-2 stealth bombers. They're over a billion dollars each, so yeah. The FB-22 was a project where they were going to make a bomber variant of F-22's. As a fighter, they'd be much smaller than a proper bomber, basically a B-2's Mini Me. And much, much cheaper. A regular F-22 can't fill the role; they're designed purely as an air superiority fighter. The FB-22 would've filled an important role of attacking ground targets that require stealth but aren't big enough to warrant bringing in the big boys. Definitely the military project I was saddest to see get canned.
Dimitri was just wanting to get away from his wife.
How come the pictures and video being shown have little to nothing to do with the story?
That's UA-cam now.
