It got the top of the rear fender snagged on a coat hanger. Somebody should hammer that out.

reminds me of this.

OK, holy shit, watched that like 8 times. That is so rad.

The “Zionist dominated media” stuff makes me giggle. There’s how many Jews in the U.S.? No more than 8 million or 2.6% of the U.S. population? This leads to one of two conclusions: Either there isn’t a “Zionist conspiracy” that is secretly running the U.S., or a minority of just 2.6% of the country are so incredibly…

Yep, it’s actually called anti-fouling paint.

I’ve had ambulances full of baddies open up on me. I’ve had baddies in mosques shoot at me. You have no clue what you’re talking about and look the part as president of the window lickers association more so with every post. Keep it up, I’ll be glad when everyone just instantly writes you off. Something you’re…

You have no fucking clue how any of this works. The chain of custody and responsibility for weapons release is completely on the shoulders of the ANA, not the aircraft. Attacking platforms very rarely build their own target picture. The situation on the ground changes on a daily basis. One day some building is a…

Nice try.

Just like all those “terrorists” in Ukraine, right?

So having done some more reading, it seems that the Su-37 prototype and possibly (there are conflicting accounts) the Su-34 prototype (back when it was designated Su-32?) were both fitted with rear-facing radars, but it was deemed overly expensive for production models. Apparently, production Su-34s are fitted with an…

And Russia is engaging in an “anti-ISIS” campaign, right?

The US bombs a hospital, and the President apologizes.

Hey, Ironic has to eat...

Airborne weapons systems nearly always require targeting intel that comes from elsewhere, either pre-mission briefings or live on-ground targeting intel. This mission was relying on the latter. It is not the aircrew’s job to “verify” intelligence coming from ground assets when they have no way to do so as well as the…

I figure they sail via the whole river/canal network down to the Black Sea and then take it from there.

Sweet Jesus - as if right on fucking cue! LOLOLOLOLOL

Apparently you have no idea how easy it is to mix things up in combat and sad truth is these things happen. Still a shame, and it shouldn’t have been done, but anyone who has done this for real knows how it can go. Same reason we have accidentally bombed and shelled our own troops with alarming regularity for over 70…

War is fluid. Things change and cannot always be verified in a timely fashion, when promptness is important. One day its a hospital, the next day the hospital has ‘visitors.’
