Mid-air collision
Yes, that’s the intended outcome of firing a rocket.
It wasn't a rocket... Two KC135s collided. One made it back.
Bonus: IRGC spokesperson video
It has strong meme energy
Straight out of Red Alert 3.
Fuck i hear the little screen activating sound
Not the worst injury suffered by Abraham Lincoln…
Yeah, his brain injury wasn't very mild
Elect a clown, get a circus.
This is what happens when you put a fucking moron in charge of the military.
...and above using MechaHitler Grok in their weapon system
The moron isn't allowed to start a war, as far as the Constitution is concerned.
Trump is the end result of ignoring the Constitution for many decades, he is what you get. And he's the dumb one
The constitution has always been ignored if capital deems it expedient
We had a good run, a solid century or two. In the 70s, the FBI would nail reps for taking bribes (Abscam).
Now, there's no reason to bribe illegally, we have Super PACs and shell companies for such things, and it's ALL LEGAL, so it's not even "corruption". GOOD JOB
Ah, but it's not a war, you see. It's just going abroad to blow stuff up.
Ironically the picture in the post is of a notably non-American MiG-29. The rest seems pretty on-point, though.
TBF all the manned planes are made by Boeing...
These freaking accidental accidents keep accidenting. It's so annoying
Really exposing how the US military isn't the perfect war machine the US thinks it is.
Real "me putting on a dress shirt after not working out for two years" hours
We perfected building a near peer military with Russia in mind. We build massive fleets of wildly expensive machines and great arsenals of similarly expensive ammunition. We made almost all of that shit overwhelmingly dependent on the supply chain of a flammable, nonrenewable, black fluid easily controllable by the nation we just attacked. One which has taken seriously the new lesson that such militaries are obsolete and top heavy. The way forward lies in small, cheap, autonomous suicide drones, cyber attacks, propaganda, and economic pressure. They're one of the few countries to take that lesson to heart. We have recently decapitated the competence of nearly every powerful system of our nation; political and military, and pushed our economy to the brink. We are led by hyper-overconfident, insecure, malicious idiots supported only by a cult minority of our population.
Not quite perfect is right. The rest of the world should bind together to pressure us, hard.
It doesn't matter. They have the capital and populace to throw into this meat grinder until they decide it's enough. We see the same with Russia, and soon we'll see the same with China. The world is getting too expensive and too crowded so the war machines are all starting up.
And thus the cycle continues; ad nauseam
I could go either way on this. Having a bunch of armed people and vehicles running around unfamiliar territory basically guarantees you're gonna have accidents. Heck, people die during training in as controlled an environment as we can manage.
OTOH, that amount of accidents compared to only a few acknowledged combat losses is a bit suss.
Five more KC-135 planes were hit on the ground in Saudi Arabia: https://www.turkiyetoday.com/region/5-us-refueling-planes-damaged-at-saudi-base-report-3216216
Nice
I just want to make everybody aware, that's not normal.
Planes only do this when they're very distressed
Ok but what if they made the snoot droop?
And so the snoot would droop
The Snoot Droop, it's the latest dance that all the kids are doing.
You can keep a zero loss record if you call it an accident every time.
Lmao is this real?
I need more deets on this air craft carrier incident.
They just do that sometimes
Military LARPers: "Bu bu but the stats prove US military/equipment/personnel are the best ever!!"
Lying is the only thing Trump can do...
