In this video, I break down: • Why the Pentagon is betting on a tailwheel aircraft in 2025 (spoiler: test pilots had to relearn how to fly like it was 1944). • The Skyraider II’s weapons loadout: 14 precision APKWS II rockets, Hellfires, and a sensor suite sharp enough to track, lase, and strike all at once. • How it’s designed for low-cost, persistent overwatch in places like Somalia, Yemen, or eastern Ukraine, anywhere the shiny jets are too expensive or too fragile. • Why naming it after the Vietnam-era Skyraider isn’t just nostalgia, it’s a warning shot to enemies who underestimate low-tech warhorses.
