I think lemmy is lit (althow i just got locked out of my account for using 2fa) so i made another meme today. i also made the Navantian "frigate" meme.
u/theGr1m posted this great explanation on reddit: (thought most of you would also appreciate it)
actually the "fox" codeword doesn't stand for which missle on the wing you're firing but rather the type of guidance it has. meaning you wouldn't get fox 1, fox 2, etc. you'd most likely get fox 3, fox 3, fox 3, etc. maybe they'd carry more types but it'd be odd they'd fire all types one after the other seeing as you'd choose a type based on the target you fire at.
so as we all know the ukrainians would have the base knowledge to know what to call the missles they fire and they'd not do fox1, fox 2, fox 3. like in the meme.
for those wondering;
Fox one
Indicates launch of a semi-active radar homing missile (such as the AIM-7 Sparrow).
Fox two
Indicates launch of an infrared homing missile (such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder).
Fox three
Indicates launch of an active radar homing missile (such as the AIM-120 AMRAAM or AIM-54 Phoenix).
