The Pylon Integrated Dispensing System Plus (PIDS+) and Electronic Combat Integrated Pylon System Plus (ECIPS+) installed on the F-16
Look I am a pacifist at heart but all this miltech is fucking sexy
It may be, but I’m kinda put off by the waste of lives and money spent on an industry that’s so despicable even a former general of the united states’ warned about.
All because deluded old men need more land to Lord over.
That being said I do still have a weak spot for the technology.
I love seeing that crest on the tail.
I had to look it up, but PIDS sounds very useful.
For everyone who also didn’t know: it’s a missile detection system with three cameras in each pylon, so almost 360° coverage, and automatic flare/chaff dispensers.
I guess the D variants are too long range? They might cause an escalation?
There’s just a huge supply of C.
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic? We tried holding back pretty much for years but Russia has been escalating regardless. There’s no point anymore, the logical thing is to supply everything Ukraine can effectively make use of.
