Since we're just shitflinging about all of the prototype plens itt, what do we think about the Anduril thing? It's obviously not even attempting to be stealth like General Atomic's offering but if it's priced low enough it might turn out to be pretty neat. If it's feasible to operate them without buying too much extra stuff I could see it being a good export product for all of the poorfag nations who cannot otherwise into air superiority.
I don't know how popular they'll be in the states, though. I know their whole thing is affordability but I was kind of under the impression that the last of the non-stealth aircraft were being retired from active duty. Even if they are super cheap I don't know if the USAF will be willing to spend that much on what is basically intended to be the UCAV equivalent of an F-16 when they could just stop retiring their actual F-16s if they really need a low cost multirole.
I do like the look of it though, very shark like, and the sharkiness of a plane has a direct positive correlation with its combat effectiveness.
