    Given the thickness of paint has to be precise to account for weight, balance, and air resistance I bet that wacky ass digital camo with a red star was expensive af. Then again maybe I’m just thinking in terms of US Military Industrial Complex pricing, lol.

      so stealthy we’ll never find out because at this rate, Russia’s not gonna have a large contingent of these lol

      what russia really needs are planes that are stealthy on the ground, perhaps if the drones can’t see them heh

      edit: holy fuck they were just sitting out in the open?

      At this rate, it’s going to be like the dinosaurs in a few decades. Russians will claim that they were invisible like chameleons, but the real scientists will know they had feathers.

        You’d definitely have to pay up for that though. There’s no way you’d just get it in a normal lootbox.
