In real life, the v22 Ospery was a horrible waste of lives (several soldiers killed in a test accident), money (overbudget), and time, (off production schedule). It doesn't even have a gun that can fire directly in front of it! The rod you see sticking out is apparently just a mid-air re-fuelling rod which is in fact hardly ever put into use. Why you'd want it as a vehicle is beyond me.
Quickedit: On the other hand, it seems like a vehicle that would fit the Magic Carpet's flying perfectly, despite it's huge bulk.
