Such good camo
Higure
The Japanese text says "Towards the future". At least it does without the context of whatever is cropped out.
stevenc537
Homieson is like gonna get it.
abarukajou
For those of you who care the Japanese says “To the future”
Loyalmells6969
Think of how different war is gonna be in 20yrs, its either not gonna exist, be hilarious and entertaining, or like the olympics..Golden Age
BossMcBossness
That's great
ThatoneQuebecguywhothinkshesCanadian
Let's put camouflage to remain hidden. Good idea. Let's paint bright anime characters for aesthetic. Bad idea.
LurlineLumpkin
It's so silly that Japanese women can't show their teeth/mouth when smiling. They have to cover their smiles. :(
CaptainKarver
Well, for the guy who always said he didn't know what world war three would be fought with, looks like it'll be memes.
rnorja
It seems it was important to paint it camo in the first place if you are painting neon colors hentai on top of it.
HumanSacrifice7721
General Pepe.
Aingelproject667
I'm probably going to regret pointing this out but isn't putting brightly-colored decals over military vehicle camo usually a BAD idea?
Umbreon07
I am amused that something like that is on a plane with camo.
Odmanra
Is that an :AH64 Apache Gunship?
sunsloth
Who pays for something like this? The military? Or does it come out of her paycheck?
artifes
I'm fairly sure she is an idol used as a recruiting tool not an actual pilot.
KatsukiUyneo
This makes me happier than it should
OmenRider
She's not a pilot, and the AH-1 is in the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force, not their air force.
Snarknado4
you're absolutely right. nerd.

Kisarazu at Finnish language is spelled like Racehorse.

Man, now I have to go read more Gate.

Fake news. It's a Idol not a pilot.
jungleofthesenses
"Tee-hee!" - her
LudeJaw
*BOOM* “Tee hee...” - Pilot probably
TheRespectedContender
That little hand covering the mouth thing gets me irrationally annoyed and idk why
CyberneticLatex
I think it’s adorable.
CyberneticLatex
Also covering the mouth when smiling/laughing in Japan, to my knowledge, is a very common thing with women.
TheRespectedContender
I️ know. But it just annoys me. Idk I️ think I’m just an asshole tho so don’t mind me

Imagine being a high-ranking soldier and having to report how your whole unit was obliterated by flying manga girl.

Not kawaii enough
TheGreatGergsy
Well fuck all to the cano paint then yeah?
charlie2979
As far as I remember this was some sort of pr thing.
pcloppenbursch
Becausr geeen paint will hide a aircraft which is loud as hell in the blue sky or white cloud? Or from radar? Or on a grey runway?
FelixG
Well, ground support helis like that one will dip down and use hills and trees as cover, and that low it being loud echos around.
emparier
The next world war is gonna be dank with the kawaii anime pilots and the spicy American meme generals
MoepsDump
The next World War wont last long as it will be fought with atomic bombs... the one after that with sticks.

Arent operators of warfare weapon systems to have perfect vision without glasses? #plzdontkillme
Studbacker31
US Air Force also glasses / contacts for pilots.
clevermotherfucker
Perhaps she has a weapons operator?
AFreakingMango
They actually created the character first, and found someone who looked like the character. There's a total of 4 characters created.
Lykasmitts
For Singapore, requirement is: less than 600 degrees per eye, correctable to 6/6 vision Astigmatism not more than 200 degrees per eye
exoskeletonsforcats
they are abit more lenient nowadays. atleast where i live. Restrictions for fighter jet pilots are really strict tho
CoBr2
I'm a military pilot and I wear contacts. Just need to be correctable to 20/20. And pass colorblindness/depth perception
LandSquid12345
She's not a pilot, she's a cosplayer, and the decal is a mascot for the Anti-Tank Helicopter Squad. Women can't serve in that, ironically.
Ternoc
No. Source : I'm pilot.
MerToo
Aww hell pretty soon warfare weapon systems aren't even going to have operators at all.
marsgoose
So can we than just settle international disputes on battle bots?
MerToo
not the worst idea

She's not actually a pilot. She's a model/actress at an air show. 1/2

akiba22
Nah, colorblindness is another story though
gcHatMan10
There's also the fact that Japan isn't allowed an air Force...
CoBr2
Japan has had a self defense force, including an air Force since WW2 ended. It's part of their Constitution.
GoliathSkittles
Japan has recently been allowed a military again, no longer just the JSDF
gcHatMan10
I see. Did not hear about that
CoBr2
Have they? I think the recent prime minister had it as a campaign promise, but I didn't know he'd followed through already.
Crc07200
Also In japan a lot of people wear glasses for fashion. I meet a lot of people here who dont actually need them.
aoenofhorus
Honestly, if I were a general I’d be more reluctant to put someone who wears glasses for fashion in the cockpit than someone who needs them.
Crc07200
In America I'd agree as its a less common fashion practice so the person is potentially a bit off. But as its common practice here, its fine
TheGreatWhiteWolf
I hate that bs. I used to get the shit beat out of me for wearing glasses. Now its a damn trend.
SiIverSoul
What are you? A living cliche? No one really got beat up for wearing glasses back when i was in school.
DehydratedBoogers
Same with Korea, although they tend to just be empty frames.
Stabdis
garybear
But braces look stupid
eagleandy93
as a person with glasses, I find that stupid beyond words. Most of the cases I have seen are 3D glasses with the lenses poked out
Zetor
Ditto. I want to punch them in the face.
DehydratedBoogers
That's an example of an empty frame.
Kluehouse
Supposed to but if you wear glasses and no on knows, This is actually a big thing for fighter pilots since a lot secretly wear glasses
Jrhoney
How do they secretly wear glasses? They have to pass a flight physical and their optrician works on base at medical.
Kluehouse
They memorize the chart and go see a optrician way off base I know b/c a long time they were taking the most experienced fighter pilots and
Kluehouse
These pilots were older so some of their eyes had gone a bit by the wayside and the person doing the training said if anyone has glasses
Kluehouse
Pull them out You will train with them and a decent number of the pilots pulled out glasses Source My aunt was a high ranking colonel in AF
FullMetalloidAlchemist
Nah man, I commanded a tank, about to command a Bradley with glasses, ground vehicles aren't so stringent. Aircraft however, you're dead on.
4DFlash
Excuse me. No-one commands Bradley but Father.
Treblaine
I've heard air force fighter jocks who don't really consider helicopters as aircraft. They're just grunt transporters that can hover a bit.
BronzeLeaguePro
But in order to bully a sergeant you should not have glasses. Just so you know.
FullMetalloidAlchemist
Prescription sunglasses do the job just fine
MisterLemons
My buddy was an M1 driver. From what he's told me about it the optics do 90% of the work.
FullMetalloidAlchemist
They do, unless you're a Commander or Loader, perfect vision isn't super important, and even then a solid pair of glasses will do
FullMetalloidAlchemist
My glasses give me roughly 20/15 to 20/10 vision in daylight, for training events I've spotted vehicles from 1.5km away with just glasses
chilliceyn
My cousin had his eyesight deteriorate after he got his seat. He kept it cause they spent like 10 million in training him.
IllJustSeeMyselfOut
Can have glasses and fly in the USAF
FullMetalloidAlchemist
I guess the Army must have higher standards, when my peers were signing up for Aviation, they had to have 20/20 vision
Keru
I've been flying for years and I'm legally blind. At least, that's what they tell me I'm doing.
sigurdtheone
Didn't know Bradleys had glasses.
Whyt128
Am a Bradley, can confirm, have glasses
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
She's not the pilot. She's an enlisted radio operator, and part of the ground crew.
PrincessNakedMoleRat
But it says she's a pilot, and her picture is on a plane?
mormacil
Maybe the pilot has a crush on her? Or she's loved by the pilots in general? :P
MisterDouglasReynholm
It's the JSDF version of the Cobra attack helicopter
PrincessNakedMoleRat
I don't understand ANY of these replies. Am I having a stroke? Unrelated, who's making toast?
StormtrooperFKD47
This helicopter is not flying like that, its only a project. Higher ups found out about this and they got scolded.
