There really isn't one, other than the sight of a T-90 in rural Louisiana because the truck hauling it broke down...

[Clayton Bigsby]

Yeah. Some of it is that site’s angle is funny with the continuous updates, like it’s earth-shattering stuff that this is being done.  I’m sure the sight is an odd one.  Honestly though it’d be pretty irresponsible if the US WEREN’T doing some FME here.

Fuck yeah!

 

Edit:  Not to take anything away from this video, that pilot has balls.   I just noticed that the interviewer looked like Bruno.

This isn't new. I remember a Su-27 got in a turn fight with an F-22 over Deir ez-Zor back in like 2016/2017. If I remember right, the Raptor pilot tried to call a knock it off by flying straight and level and doing a wing rock but the Su-27 used that to take position on his six and the Russians claimed it as a PR victory that the Raptor wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Stupid fucks. Don't even realize they wouldn't have seen the Raptor if the balls on that pilot weren't brass enough to prevent a global war.

Ask your intel shop about how often US jets turn with adversaries

Danish military just declassified 26 photos of Russian ships with submarine rescue vessel SS-750 over Nordstream 1’s explosion site days prior.

Surely it's a US vessel made up to look like a Russian one, right?  /s

I have the impression that there are plenty of people in Russia that wouldn't mind taking out Putin with a drone.  Or a knife.

The idea of countering Russia has been US foreign policy since 1946.

What is a point of burning your capability to attack a freaking flagpole?

Exactly my thought. Symbolism is sometimes worth a lot in a war.

Japan couldn't strike back in-kind. Russia has ability to play whack-mole game with Ukrainian leadership. 

 

It doesn't make sense to me, but I also didn't understand logic behind invading Ukraine so IDFK.
