More weapons for Skynet!

That's expensive.... anywhere in the world huh? Hopefully it's impossible to crack into whats controlling it.

It looks like a Cylon ship!

I wonder how they reconciled the problem of signals reaching the Taranis in time.

They better build a Normandy as well so we'll be ready when the Reapers turn on us...

this will so never happen and if it does it will no doubt have American computers probably outsourced from a military waste disposal system and even then they probably wont give the British the codes, i smell failure and its not just my typing.


that said i hope the drones arnt on their way now : (

It's a prototype! Prototypes were never meant to be cheap, they were meant to work. They'll work on cutting costs later, when it actually works!

YES!!!! Maybe the Collectors won't rape the ship when the time comes either.

Looks like it has a big glowing eye... big glowing eyes aren't very stealthy.

Still, looks pretty sweet.

That 'red glowing eye' is just a dust cover for the air intake.

 

[braneman]

wow, its a working prototype, I was going to complain about concept artists who only use tech found in sci-fi books... thumbs up for creating something we might actually see.

 

[Marco925]

When do we set it against North Korea?

No wonder UK is broke. $216 mil a pop. US scrapped F-35, which was much cheaper.
Communication latency will not allow around the world operation. Would still require a mobile base somewhere.

I actually thought that $216 for a working prototype autonomous stealth fighter sounded pretty cheap. As for the current state of the UK economy, this has probably been in development for years (i.e. before the market crash).

I seem to remember this going all bad in stealth......
