Nope. They don’t have a clue that we think they are ass-clowns. They truly believe this impresses people.

The way to stop a bad guy with a drone is everyone with a shotgun.

Tank? Parade Float? OK.

You can throw in IFVs, armored cars, and MRAPs in there if you want even more armored vehicle fun.

Still better than that African “Tank” from a few months ago

If the Israelis see it those boys standing next to it are going to be picking splinters out of their asses for a month.

I know! That’s why I posted it!

Most likely this.

I would love to see an F-22 in person. 2 decades old and still so god damn futuristic.

That is awesome.

I guess when your own country is falling down around you, the best way to deal with it is to engage in wishful thinking that others may fall down, too— right comrade?

I’m betting the Russians cant afford real equipment or the fuel to operate it. Reindeer and dogs are cheap especially if you “requisition” Rudolph from the Russian equivalent of the Inuit.
