Same lol.

Seeing this thing show off its tech in the flesh was incredible.

The ability for it too scrub off speed from full tilt at 2000 mph is just beyond imaginable.

If something is chasing you at full speed, and you can just hit the brakes mid air; suddenly the hunter becomes the prey lol




No US fighter jet in history can reach 2000 mph, the F-22 can get to a bit over mach 2, the F-35 can reach mach 1.6, neither is anywhere close to 2000 mph (mach ~3).

The F-15 is probably the only American jet fighter to ever get close to 2000 mph by reaching mach 2.5.


The F-35 can't reach anywhere near 2000mph. It isn't optimized for speed.
