I am sure it has some very specific use such as dropping off machinery to remote locations or something like that
i doubt it was built for no reason
: the ability to stay airborne for days and weeks at a time in order to achieve surveillance, search and survey tasks; and the ability to transport heavy goods point-to-point, without the need for expensive airport infrastructure.
So I can see that, if you are the us military and dominate the air you could safely fly that thing in a big circle with communication equipment on it for a week at a time, that would make sense

US has air superiority, and no other force is going to come within hundreds of miles of it.

Just stay high enough that shoulder fired rockets can't hit it and you are 100% safe after the USA has had about 48 hours to decimate a countries airforce and surface to air missile emplacements
The USA currently uses tethered balloons at their bases flying at like 5000 feet for communications equipment and I have never heard of one shot down

the use of the word has changed, deal with it
>>61237581
I will not.
>>61237594
Eventually everyone who hates this use of the word will be dead, and the ones who use it to mean obliterate will be in control
>>61237581
No, it hasn't. Plebs like you just keep getting it wrong.
Much like how 'literally' was bastardised into meaning figuratively, it literally does not mean figuratively though, no matter what some ponce in charge of the dictionaries say - literally means for something to be exactly as it is said to be, and decimated is to remove by a factor of 10

There's no superiority like US Air Superiority.

Perhaps a language like French is more to your taste, English is a decentralised and dynamic language where words only hold the meaning that most people assign to them.
