F-22 Grounded by bees

>>30960760
I'm curious.

What's funny?

they can easily be wash off with high pressure water

the problems is check the internals to see if they didn't make it inside, they requires maintenance and inspection

>>30960760
did you read the article your fucking retard?

they kept the plane grounded so they could save the fucking bees, not because it endangered the plane or compromised its flyability

>>30960760
it's a common problem with all fighters

insects like to creep into its innards and nest, since its usually warm and protected from the environment. Small insects generally don't cause any problems, but larger ones can.

>>30960760
Bees are bro-tier insects. Only inhuman chinks or the savage russian goblins would kill them unnecessarily.

bees are necessary to the ecosystem. it's foolish to kill them.

>>30960838
Liberal fag.
This is a war machine, and your notion is ridiculous.

>>30960928
If there was an actual threat then they'd burn them in a heart beat, but since they were probably just taking it for a training flight or some shit there would be no need to burn a bunch of insects which are vital to our eco systems.

>>30961017
The biomass of all the bees in the world is estimated to be much higher than global human body weight add together. Eradicaiton of a single nest has almost no impact on eco system. But as F-22 is always used in high-risk operation due to its stealth feature, any failure in combat would result in severe consequences milirarily and politically. Thus maintaince and training of F-22 should be treated as combat at all times. If I were in charge, I would say f**k the bees.
But of course, your point is valid. If the bees are on tanks or other low-value assets, I would do the right thing.

you talk like a bitch, shut the fuck up. little bitch.

>f**k

opinion discarded

>>30960760
Cant they move the nest with the queen somewhere else or something?

>>30962611
They did. A beekeeper took the entire colony off.

>>30962768
Wow, that's awesome. Glad to see that the military knows that honeybees are cool

>>30963093
Probably helps that there was a brewery next door

>>30960928
>he doesnt know bee's are actually very important to making the planet livable

>>30961336

well u can go to H*ck and die on the sun, you big gosh darn dummy

>>30964216

hey, this is a christian bluebord, no need for such aggressive behavior

>>30961336

You're a fucking retard, clearly don't know shit about bees.

But the point is this is a frontline fighter. Any 4th ++ should not need to deal with stuff like this. I mean sadam burried a few migs but they did not have problems of this. If the chinese saw the beez they would carry on like buisness as usual.

oh, is that the custom bee vac? or bee cage?

>>30965040
Bee container

>>30963093
It's not exactly hard to get a colony of bees to go where you want it to. All you gotta do is find the queen and put her in a box. The rest follow suit.

>>30965040
Probably the queen in her own special cage.

>>30965080
oh really then how come they had to vacuum them up genius

>>30965017
Jumper has some hips.

>>30960760
Rip

>>30965192

>>30965017
That is actually super cute and heartwarming.

Also, daily reminder /k/ is supposed to be /an/ husband.

Reminder that these were commie chinese bees that were trying to figure out the innards of the F-22.

/k/ and /an/ are married. She's a qt.

>>30965137
Probably because he intended to put them in a car and drive away. Bees can't keep up with a car.
