No not the Pontiac version of the Corsica for the Canadian market
, and no not the WWII fighter-bomber. It’s a brand new replacement for the Typhoon.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Bonus Pontiac canco
n (and reason why the RCAF will probably change the name if they buy it - once they stop laughing
)
:
And a WWII training video on the original Tempest:

What happened to everyone buying the F-35, hence the doubling down on the project to build that fucking shitbox?

Meanwhile, 99% of the missions it will ever fly would be better served by something like an A-10 or even the TXT Scorpion, and the remaining 1% the Typhoon could deal with.

The WWII Tempest was a beast. It will be interesting to see of they can pull it off without the (evident) help of France, Germany et al. I’d love to see the Brits return as a viable producer of fighters. But I’ll withhold my judgment until the Tempest turns a wheel.
