Arrogant Donald Trump names new fighter jet after himself in unbelievable move

www.irishstar.com

During a major Oval Office address on Friday, President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth introduced a new sixth-generation fighter jet costing $20 billion. In an unbelievable move, Trump named the jet after himself — the F47 — emphasizing his place in history as President of the United States.

"The F47 will be the most advanced, capable, and lethal aircraft ever built. We're confident that it overpowers the capabilities of any nation," he said before adding: "47 is a lovely number, isn't it."

Apparently it’s going to be made by Boeing? It will go down in history for sure.
- Hey, he just said most lethal aircraft. He did not specify friend or foe.
  
  The F47 will be the most advanced, capable, and lethal aircraft ever built
  It sure will be
- It will go down
  nice one.
  
  beat me to it.

F-15 - Eagle
F-16 - Fighting Falcon
F-35 - Lightening II
F-47 - Krasnov
These names are just getting worse with each new jet
- F-47 - Krasnov
  Firefox (1982).
- F-16 is semi-officially known as the Viper these days.
  F-35’s name is borrowed from the original (P-38) Lightning, arguably the best twin-engine long-range interceptor/patrol fighter made in the WW2 era.
  Who fucking knows what they’ll try to call the new one irl, but I bet it’s something obnoxious and stupid
  
  "The clown car"
  
  The P-38 was more of a Fighter-Escort than an interceptor. The P-51 is the most widely accepted best fighter interceptor of WW2.
  The P-38 was absolutely extremely versatile, but as for an interceptor, the Mustang was better all around as a fighter and interceptor. Faster, longer range, more agile, better armed for air-to-air combat, and lower stall speed.
  The P-38s would escort bombers on the first leg and hand over to P-51s, over an active combat zone, because the P-51 was so superior of a fighter interceptor.
  
  Wasn't the f35 the FatAmy? (Don't flame me; please! I'm just repeating what a service buddy told me. She's the dick, if anyone; not me!)

- Is that “piss yellow” by any chance?

So it will be an overly expensive, bloated, but ultimately ineffective jet that will become known for its much higher rate of friendly fire incidents than any other jet in history.
Also it will look ugly and have oddly small wings.
- A 6-gen fueling system where it will be powered by praises alone and a suction system to eliminate waste.
- It also has remote access capabilities used exclusively by Putin, but people seem totally fine with that part because the jet was promised to only be used to hurt the right people.
- I think Boeing escaped the law in the end? So yeah. Your prediction looks accurate to me.
- Don't forget the weird livery that is oddly orange and seemingly missing around all of the ports. Oh and it's fat.

The details of the plane remain secret, with only a portion of the prototype shown in a photo displayed to reporters.
Come on War Thunder, do you magic and expose the F-47 Orange.
- F47 Agent Orange...

This fucker is wildly attempting any/all paths to find a way to leave an indelible historical mark of himself...
Guess "Lyingist Liar First Felon Mafia Level Attempt at a President and Killer of US Democracy" isn't working for him...
He's already got an indelible place in history all right. And nothing he manages to accomplish from now till his death will be sufficient to erase that lasting legacy.
🤡 🤡 🖕 🖕
- He's the Captain Sparrow of Presidents, can't spell infamous without famous.

And they released a concept study, too:

The F47 will be the most advanced, capable, and lethal aircraft ever built.
O rly?
Boeing, a US aerospace giant, has been awarded a lucrative contract to build the Next Generation Air Dominance fighter
lmaoooooooooooooooooooo

Old fashioned, unreliable, can’t get off the ground…

It only flies to Greenland.
Gold interior with marble gauges.
The flight computer rambles on about someone trying to get inside when no one is around.
- Seats smell very faintly of pee
  On an unrelated note, the dashcam says "made in the USSR" for some reason
  It's not a bomber, technically, but it does bomb a lot
  but don't use that mode deliberately, because the ballistic system gets very confused sometimes and targets golf courses instead
  ...I can't think of any more lame jokes, I've not had my morning covfefe
  
  Have you had your covfefe by now?

Pretty silly to tie your name to an unproven fighter jet. Then again, he's not known for having good judgment in the first place.
- An unproven fighter jet made by fucking Boeing of all companies.
  
  Boeing technicians have the opportunity to do the funniest thing

I actually do not care. Don't get distracted, people!
- You don't care, but think about the people who might.
  A lot of Soviet generals walked away from Gorbachev over smaller insults than this.
  
  I'll take it, but, bruh

Another distraction from things that actually matter. This will have no material impact on anyone's life, but will dilute the news cycle.

The Fuck-47?
- Fascist-47
- My retired neighbor has an F-45 Tshirt that he procured during his first term.

FU47

Is the plane so fat it can't find its dick to take a piss? If so, I see the resemblance.

More on news tonight.... A new F-47 has evaded capture for a second time this week by shooting bone spurs and safety doors...

Oof, sucks to be the team of engineers who made this thing. Naming it 47 guarantees it will be the laughing stock of the military. I don't care if its the most advanced jet in the world. With this target on its back it will get trash talked until the day they retire it.

Should've named it F-310N
- That's literally the Nato name for the su-57, the Russian attempt to make a 5gen fighter.
  
  M-3110N then?

The world news said it wasn't for Trumps name I thought. They said it was for the year the Air Force started. An Air Force officer or someone high up got to choose and they chose the number. Trump just likes it because he's a narcissist.

Will it have a combat avoidance feature? In keeping with the man it's named after.
- F-47 bonespur
- 6,000 rounds of tactical bone spurs in each wing

So we have the legendaries:
P51 Mustang
F14 Tomcat
F22 Raptor
A10 Warthog
F117 Nighthawk
SR71 Blackbird
And then:
F47 Trump? 🤢🤮🤮🤮
It's gonna suck seeing that in aviation history books.
- What's the difference between an A10 and an F47?
  One's named after an ugly, foul-smelling pig and the other is a Warthog.
- F47 Krasnov

With Boeing showing a gross lack of quality and poor engineering in every project recently, them building a trump-named fighter makes a twisted sort of sense. I suppose it will just limp to the target area and than explode itself, for some astronomical amount of money. As usual lately, Putin will be very pleased.

I did not connect f47 to him because i can only see it as "fat"

I don't really consider this unbelievable.

I thought the era of fighter jets was ending with lasers making them obsolete. By the time this thing sees the light of day, it should be garbage, right?

And they gonna sell it to which other countries?

Will it be orange too?

What a fucking idiot.

Who exactly is having trouble believing this?

Should call it the AK-47
Aerospace Krasnov 47

Wait. Is this motherfucker jealous that he isn't Canadian? Is this just projection?

If it ain't an A-10 Warthog going brrrrrrr with its 30mm canon I sleep.
- ... with pieces blown off it and still fighting...
  
  💪, just as she'd want!
- Let the ‘hog die the graceful end it deserves - in the hearts and memories of ground pounders. The Frogfoots are getting wrecked in Ukraine when they try to do CAS, that mission is over unless you’re splattering goat herders, and even militants have MANPADs now.
  Super Tucano is all you need for low intensity/asymmetrical conflict and COIN, otherwise busting tanks is better done by ATGMs and AT mines.
  
  I'm sorry, the A-10 is the most American aircraft to ever be engineered. Think about it, when it first debuted it didn't give two shits about friendlies of foes. That motherfucker just sprayed and prayed, often to our allies dismay. But over time she proved useful and outright scary when you heard those beautiful brrrrrrrts, like a glorious and triumphant eagle scream. They've tried to retire her a million times, she's persevered. She'll always has a glorious spot in my heart.
  Edit 2: On a serious note, yes using the A-10 for CAS isn't in Ukraine's cards, but that doesn't mean she's out of the fight! 💪

Sooo like all boeing and recent jets its going to be an absolute piece of trash... fitting realy..

Elon is going to fire him for giving Boeing the contract
