Sigh...not to be difficult, but only if they can keep it flying...and flying at a reasonable hourly upkeep cost. (Jim, I love this capture by you...I have recommended the image to others, but the F-35 has been problematic as a fighter also). Traveller

Yes, it is a powerful war machine.

Apparently it can fire weapons while flying supersonically.

I think so. It also adds drag, as they have to work at it to maintain (for them) a slow speed.
