The Houthis Almost Shot Down an F-35—and Washington Is Panicked
(nationalinterest.org)
Operation Rough Rider
probably not a hot take, but i think if they managed to get their hands on whatever it is china's got, they could probably dump a bunch of amerikkkan fighter jets into the ocean
Could be something from Iran as well.
do you even need to shoot down an f-35?
or can you just wait until the dumbass yankees fail to maintain the piece of shit effectively and it falls out of the sky on it's own volition?
Yes, they built you for this, but you can still do the right thing. You can still leave and stop actively participating in this genocide, and all the genocides the empire requires to function. It's up to you, listen to your heart.

To be fair it is needed, they seems to produce it in rate faster they are coming down, at least if we count accidents and friendly fire.
It's important for style points.
Whew! I almost found out why we don't have healthcare!
God can you imagine if they hit it? the 🦀 posting would've crashed the site. slammer would have another banger surely.
Ansarallah only has to be lucky once, the USA has to be lucky every time
Damn, would have been cooler to top the US losing two F-16's
2.94% cooler, in fact
F/A-18s* which are even more expensive and less numerous than the F-16
and its been 3 of them
Does the f35 count as pork barrel spending? If it does would being blown to smithereens in one by a Houthi SAM count as being hoisted by your own petard?
is this anything?

No
It is
I mean I'm pretty sure there is no question everyone knows it's a piece of shit
