In the heart of a high-stakes mission, an F-22 Raptor, piloted by one of America's top aviators, streaks across the sky. While its advanced systems and unmatched agility set it apart, it isn't flying alone.

Just off its wing, moving in perfect harmony is the General Atomics XQ-67A.

With its cutting-edge design and stealthy features, this sleek aircraft is the Raptor's loyal wingman. The XQ-67A's advanced infrared search and track systems scan the horizon, detecting threats that radar might miss. It gathers and relays critical intelligence while its electronic warfare systems disrupt enemy communications and radar.

As the mission intensifies, the XQ-67A simulates attacks to draw enemy fire, reveals hidden threats, and acts as a communication relay. It even executes precise strikes on high-value targets; all coordinated flawlessly with the F-22.

However, despite its capabilities and seamless cooperation, the XQ-67A, the fifth-generation fighter’s most dependable companion, is completely unmanned.

    I believe that each squadron should have a dozen or more to fly along with each mission.Anything that will augment manned platforms is a plus.
  • @LordHolley
    These look awesome. That's going to be a huge advantage for Team America...eff yeah!!!

    Mann, to be a pilot of a F-22 must be like living the most badass dream ever!!! 👏🏼🙌🏼💯💯💯🤘🏼🤘🏼
  • @BienGuapo
    love these videos. thank you for keeping us entertained.
  • @Moodymongul
    And this, is basically the 'first gen.' of Loyal Wngman. The later iterations are altogether on another level :)
  • Just what we need. Drones in Palmdale: Been there; done that; got the sting
  • @sabatheus
    First, they fly as a companion to the manned pilots. Then, as their reaction times and endurance increase into the super-human, the manned elements will be removed. Necessarily so.

    Don't become too confident with your high tech toys. Because the more sophisticated that they become the more things can go wrong.
  • Your videos are well put together and informative. Well done. 👍🇺🇸

    We need drone ship aircraft carriers specifically designed to accommodate and deploy and maintain drones of all sorts. Keep what we already have and expand on that but a drone ship just for drones seems like it would be able to pack a lot together on one ship
  • @fahhcue850
    It seems like we’re on the brink of having something like Tin Man, from that movie Stealth with Jamie Foxx. Was honestly an underrated movie I thought!!..
  • YES, YES, very good. This ability of the design of a cheaper, and faster to make, LOYAL WINGMAN, is great. Reminds me of when Nianderthals developed a CORE of stone capable of making many different types of cutting techniecs from one stone, a litteral Swiss Army knife in stead of multible tools to be produced, Same as these drones with a common core like FORD CHASSIS? 50.000 years ago my friends. The cave paintings is un real in its beauty, just incredible abilities. Before remote controls for your TV?
  • @joe-fh9fb
    Good video excellent explanation! But the same scenes over and over again way to stretch it out
  • Eventually they will push the human element further and further back behind a lounge chair but never will the human element be removed.
