Tyrant King
Like I said Northrop Grumman X47B was just not the right Bird for this project. It was and is the best option for a carrier launched low observable predator to conduct intelligence gathering and strike missions. A capability the USN is lacking in my opinion and needs for future operations.
It's also something the USAF I feel is lacking in that although the Predator series is undeniably an impressive little drone with some serious teeth, given the changes in proliferation of Air defence systems and potential for more conventional conflicts. The USAF Predators are more likely to face increased attrition rates in future operations.
I'd sudegest we open or move a few posts to a Mq25 thread.
