"The optionally manned Excalibur Mk.4 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle was rolled out over the weekend, marking the first time a tactical aircraft is equipped with a 1MW class hybrid laser, generating a paradigm shift in the stealth era.

The XCALIBUR AEROSPACE LTD company sent fake photos and press release… what is the reason for this fake is not known to us." - Source: Publisher.

Actually that sounds utterly bogus. 200 in production? 600 planned? On an airvraft they don't even have pics of and never heard of before?

Speed >M3.0, service ceiling 100,000ft. Hmmmm....:D:lol:

Is it real, or something made up for the Ace Combat crowd?

Looking through their website this seems like a sci-fi fantasy. They claim it's capable of over mach 3 but the shape has almost straight forward edge wings and looks nothing like any other high mach vehicle aerodynamically. They have some sort of "photonic" radar that renders enemy RWR "obsolete" and is "jam-proof". Their business model is "free" aircraft to all NATO countries.

 

 

I hope nobody thinks this is a real aircraft or a legitimate company?

fake, even without factchecking this should have set off all the bogus alarms

In other news, secret Russian plane seen at airport.

That aircraft's trigonometrical layout seems off, naively so even. I'm pretty sure it's wrong.

:megalol: I wonder if his scheme worked and Mr. Melville Peter Ten Cate found enough simpletons with a few millions to spare.
