But that overhead rail crane the next bay over is toast Sad. Lots of probably good paying jobs gone forever there, plus all the people that used to live and work there slaughtered by the orcs, soldiers defending it probably never to be seen alive again. |

F-86 'D' lost it's guns and received a retractable Tray of FFRs F-94 (interceptor version of T-33) had no guns, but FFR rockets in nose & wings F-89 main armament was two huge pods of FFR rockets in those Massive Wing Tips And those rockets were not planned for traditional "Air to Ground" pounding, they were intended for Air to Air Kills.

The TU-95 Beat begat the VERY safe TU-114 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-114 while the TU-16 Badger began the VERY unsafe TU-104. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-104 Great Story How the Soviets lost 16 Admirals in 16 minutes. - Video Link.
