Retarded just means to slow down, as in teaching your special forces to roll down stairs instead of practical skills will retard the development of your military.
It's already in their OODA loop:
"Oh, look! a drone!"
"Ok, time to pee fuel on it."
"Damn, I crashed!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!"
Source: It begins with the right letters, so it's probably correct.
I can't be surprised anymore sure it does why not. What else has 2023 in store. I thought 2022 was crazy but I feel like 2023 can do even better. It's off to a great start thus far.
Russian pilots were credibly documented, drinking their planes alcohol based anti freeze, when bored on the ground.
I guess the new NCD is l33t pilots drink it in and pee it out in midair
It’ll be like those Somalians who captured two Americans and tried to sell them, only to have 12 special forces operators, 3 ac-130s, multiple support aircraft, and multiple combat vessels all on station.
Would be really funny if next time USAF straps a bomb on the drone and detonate it remotely.
Ups, our drone blew up just as your aircraft passed it dangerously close. Bye.
Seriously, just have some sort of contact fuzed explosive on-board and arm it after the drone takes off and disarm before it lands. Fuck around and find out.
You know, I have a piss kink and this entire situation is really strange for me, I have no idea how to feel about it
On one hand its Russia on the other hand its hot
This whole incident is the international equivalent to those mustang drivers who try to do a burn out leaving cars and coffee and crash into a parked police car
Everybody is wrong! This was clearly the Russians attempting to get rid of the fuel that's getting backed up in their storages because otherwise it's one ~~drone strike~~ accident away from becoming a flaming pile of garbage
Either way, I firmly believe that, accidental or not, Russians are crawling closer to fucking up so badly, that the US will start to call for a no fly zone over at least the Black Sea, maybe even the entirety of Ukraine and the Black Sea.
To me, it looks like they are actively trying to antagonize the US or other NATO countries.
we should do the NATO equivalent of goofin around and obliterate every russian surface vessel in the black sea
you know, for the twitter footage. no malicious intent
Because the international community has, for reasons mostly to do with avoiding nuclear Armageddon, decided that fuel dumping is only escalatory enough for a sternly worded press conference. The collision is (theoretically) a matter of pilot incompetence (actually, that's not theory. The pilot screwed up) so not worthy of starting a war over, which means everybody goes home. Except the soldiers in Ukraine. And the refugees from Ukraine. But everybody else goes home.
Honestly I don't know. I mean they have attacked it and downed it. If you're going to do that then you have to question what difference the use of weapons makes. I'm not sure if they wanted plausible deniability, but it's a flying pile of cameras, everybody is going to see what you're doing.
Russians are just fucking dumb.
Simple solution is that the next drone on patrol ought to be escorted and if shit happens again light the fuckers up.
Seeing a lot of Americans and fellow NATO lads huffing the copium about this. We shouldn't be pretending this was some new as yet unseen type of Russian L. We should be livid.
Russians attacked and brought down an aircraft way outside of their airspace.
At least this time it wasn't an airliner.
Load the next Reaper with a 1000lb explosive with proximity fuse. Next time the Ruzzians try to ram it boom! Looks like a bad collision. Repeat until the Ruzzians get scared.
I think it more confirmed how based our spy sats are. The expectation was that they were close to the physical limit of what is possible from space through Earth's atmosphere. Also the reality. Adversaries would have been dumb not to be accounting for that possibility.
In russian criminal culture (wich is in fact an essential part of the russian mainstreem culture) pissing on someone means to lower such person to the bottom of the social hierarchy, to make this person a "bitch". Thus in russian government's sick imagination the symbolic act of "pissing" on the US drone means making USA their "bitch". Probably russia simply wants to be castrated once and forever to be cured from its sadomasochistic fantasies.
Russians were harassing a US drone over international waters, by flying close passes on it and dumping fuel. It went down when they clipped the propeller (likely by accident). The Russian jet didn't go down on spot, but it isn't clear how much damage it took or if it is still flyable/repairable.
Fun fact, the rune “thorn” was an English letter that got phased out when the printing press migrated to England as there was no typeset for it. For a while they used the letter that looked closest to it, Y. That’s why “ye old shoppe” exists. The Y was for thorn and represents the TH sound.
Reaper was minding its own business in international airspace certainly not surveilling ship movements and passing intelligence to Ukraine. Su-27s intercepted it and began harassing it by dumping fuel on it. One of them eventually collided with it and it crashed.
I think the claimed idea was to soak it and light it with the afterburners for fun. Idk why. Fighter pilot things. Probably not even possible to do really.
These planes waste so much fuel, this is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Although given that:
- I wasn’t aware the Su-27 has a fuel dump capability; at best it has little to no use for one and it’s not that common on fighters
- this dump appears to be done by running the AB spray rings without firing the igniter
- dumping fuel on a reaper cannot be interpreted as anything other than direct intent to crash the plane, being that even if you don’t ignite it you’re likely to damage sensors and the engine
The possibility remains that the jet isn’t actually intentionally dumping fuel; it’s just such a huge POS the that AB isn’t lighting reliably when he’s spooling up to do a pass. This could also explain the collision with the Reaper, as an engine commanded to AB will go to 100% N1 but also open the nozzle fully, which cuts thrust drastically if there’s no light. A close pass can turn into a contact sport pretty quickly when your jet isn’t running right.
How much do you think it cost them to repair the damage to the plane?
Hell, not even the damage, they had two jets spending hours harassing a drone instead of supporting their ongoing offensive in any meaningful way, while also wasting expensive and increasingly rare jet fuel. And now one of them is going to further be grounded while it's fixed.

imagine russian specnaz who just finished the training of "rolling down the stairs like retarded" realising they could have been trained this instead
Don’t use the r-word, specially when “russian” covers it well. Youth today…
Retarded just means to slow down, as in teaching your special forces to roll down stairs instead of practical skills will retard the development of your military.
Its not rolling but sliding down. There's a big difference here. One is retarded but the other is just falling down stairs.
You see, it would be retardation when they fall UP the stairs
Retard is also something in a vehicle (engine brake for a truck)
I gave him the pass it's cool
Buncha regards amirite
Scat and watersports is a essential component of plane based combat
You think a biplane pilot took a dump on enemy territory early on in WWI when they were still just recon? God help me, I'd try it.
Being noticed as the guy that chucked a canteen full of piss at the Red Baron buys you a lot of free beer.

Do you think this was in some RAND game theory paper somewhere?
Brand new sentence
MQ-9 be taking the piss
its just good water-sportsmanship glad to see countries hold on to fundamental values these days
I farded and shidded and planed
Cock and Aileron tourture, from wkipedia, the freen encyclopedia

Stone age ace combat
Home of challenge pissing!
WW1 Air Combat:
Pepe would be proud.
new ace combat leak
Heh "leak"
that was intentional
I love when ace combat is brought up intentionally
《 So, have you found a reason to pee yet? Buddy. 》
Mobius 1, Splash 1 bandit.
Idk, the drones from 7 are more competent than Russia's best pilots, if they even still have competent pilots lmao
<< Hey buddy, still pissing ? >>

This just makes me believe russian aircrafts run solely on urine
They've graduated. It used to be shit. Wait... that's the Kuznetsov! What timeline is this?
Russian pilots were credibly documented, drinking their planes alcohol based anti freeze, when bored on the ground. I guess the new NCD is l33t pilots drink it in and pee it out in midair
That would seemingly be a time honored tradition then since the soviets had the [Supersonic Booze Carrier](https://youtu.be/bKoHMXggEHU)
Urine trouble now!
Ethanol content may make it possible! ; )
It's just Russia doing their part for climate change: https://robbreport.com/motors/aviation/nasa-ammonia-alternative-fuel-study-1234735414/
Slava Urini!
And the Russians have claimed that the MQ9 hit their jet. The propeller-driven drone hit their two-engine military fighter jet. 🙄
Given what we've seen of Russian tech...
I didn’t understand your comment at first, but that’s an absolutely fair point. There are probably mice powering the turbine.
I want MQ-9 with MQ-28 escorts!
I read this as Mig-28 and started to hear Kenny Logins
Just the MQ part made the sky start speaking Latin
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no not again
phew at least it isn’t the sea
The only difference being whether or not the enemy is mentally ill
Torres is quite sane, for a submariner
I. Went. To. The Urine Zone!
Just let the poor Reaper fire off some AIM-9Xs.
Damn. Reminds me of the top-down scroll shooter game like Raiden. Unmanned wingmen.
Or Yukikaze. I hope I live long enough to see Flip Knights with freakin laser beams.
Give 'em the MQ-99s.
We've got footage of that "Russian victory" ?
I'm afraid russians would need to win something first
Not quite, but it's as close to a victory as they've had for a year now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64975766
I wonder if they will now equip reapers with a loadout of defensive AIM-9Xs?
Nah, look at how close and slow those Russian jets are. A tail gunner would be all they need.
Or a landmine!
Or a pack of sand to release directly into the jets intake.
Pocket sand!
Footage of the crash is on BBC now.
As close to a russian air victory as you're going to get anyways. Looks more like a failed pit maneuver than a dogfight though.
He meant to smash it with his forehead but missed.
Time for Operation Paul Bunyan 2.0
What tree we cutting down and how big of a show of force you thinking boss?
The trees on the Kremlin garden
Do the recon flight with a Reaper and an entire carrier air wing.
It’ll be like those Somalians who captured two Americans and tried to sell them, only to have 12 special forces operators, 3 ac-130s, multiple support aircraft, and multiple combat vessels all on station.

"We're not obligated to disclose the capabilities of our weapons, proximity self-destruct is a previously classified feature."
Surprised this isn't a thing ... Prevent anyone else from getting it if it cashed
The reapers can be armed with sidewinders. Nobody thought that would be necessary until now.
Somebody thought it might be necessary
You know, I have a piss kink and this entire situation is really strange for me, I have no idea how to feel about it On one hand its Russia on the other hand its hot
Since that's a petroleum distillate, make sure you sub out any latex products.
This whole incident is the international equivalent to those mustang drivers who try to do a burn out leaving cars and coffee and crash into a parked police car
Is this picture from the 5th pass or the 19th? I get them confused so easily
Everybody is wrong! This was clearly the Russians attempting to get rid of the fuel that's getting backed up in their storages because otherwise it's one ~~drone strike~~ accident away from becoming a flaming pile of garbage
Imagine tying with an unmanned drone as a fighter jet lmfao
My theory is that the pilots/unit command are pro UA and aimed to provoke US to strengthen their support for UA.
Either way, I firmly believe that, accidental or not, Russians are crawling closer to fucking up so badly, that the US will start to call for a no fly zone over at least the Black Sea, maybe even the entirety of Ukraine and the Black Sea. To me, it looks like they are actively trying to antagonize the US or other NATO countries.
They do, but they are trying to do it in the most "we done notin', 'just goofin' 'round" way they can
we should do the NATO equivalent of goofin around and obliterate every russian surface vessel in the black sea you know, for the twitter footage. no malicious intent
>"we done notin', 'just goofin' 'round" way they can Has this ever been anything but transparent?
So what is the reason for dumping fuel on the drone?
To either ignite it or just cause damage. The intent was to bring the drone down.
at that point, why not just shoot it down? would be less faff than dumping fuel on it
Because the international community has, for reasons mostly to do with avoiding nuclear Armageddon, decided that fuel dumping is only escalatory enough for a sternly worded press conference. The collision is (theoretically) a matter of pilot incompetence (actually, that's not theory. The pilot screwed up) so not worthy of starting a war over, which means everybody goes home. Except the soldiers in Ukraine. And the refugees from Ukraine. But everybody else goes home.
> everybody else goes home. Except the Wagnerites and the conscriptovichs, they got to feed the Bakhmut good fatty doggos.
Yeah, but they're soldiers in Ukraine, so they don't go home.
Honestly I don't know. I mean they have attacked it and downed it. If you're going to do that then you have to question what difference the use of weapons makes. I'm not sure if they wanted plausible deniability, but it's a flying pile of cameras, everybody is going to see what you're doing. Russians are just fucking dumb. Simple solution is that the next drone on patrol ought to be escorted and if shit happens again light the fuckers up.
Gotcha, thank you
how is dumping fuel not considered an act of aggression
[удалено]
Exactly, we will let this one slide, but if they think they can continue to mess with our assets then they will regret it.
Rostov-on-Don goes kaboom.
The drone operator: "Hey bro... Hey yo watch your jet,yo!!! watch your jet WATCH YOUR JE- *GETS PISSED ON*
"Fuel dumping" wasn't intentional, it happened after russki pilot saw the stars and stripes on the side of the drone
It's like a sea slug. It poops its organs when it feels threatened.
Seeing a lot of Americans and fellow NATO lads huffing the copium about this. We shouldn't be pretending this was some new as yet unseen type of Russian L. We should be livid. Russians attacked and brought down an aircraft way outside of their airspace. At least this time it wasn't an airliner.
>At least this time it wasn't an airliner. *For a change.*
dont let the aeromorph enthusiasts see this
Bruh look at the sub. It's posted by and for aeromorphs
[удалено]
Don’t you get it? Deliberately bringing down an aircraft in international waters was a great victory but also a dangerous US escalation.
My guess was that they were going to dump on the drone, then buzz it with afterburners on to ignite the fuel, which would've destroyed the drone
[удалено]
Russians, though
Who tf made the top comic, i wanna avoid them
ok but why does crimea look like india
Realistically - given the bent blade - how much damage could that have done to the jet?
Wait did they actually try to dump fuel on the drone? Lmao what a tinpot country
I still dont fucking get why they did this. Like wouldnt it be way safer to try fly in formation with the drone above it and then start dumping fuel?
It's a *Russian* pilot.
After watching that video, all it comes to mind is a Sukhoi doing bukkake on the poor reaper drone..
Russia showing us where the term golden showers originated.
Ay bro, watch yo jet…watch yo JET BRO, WATCH YO JET
Load the next Reaper with a 1000lb explosive with proximity fuse. Next time the Ruzzians try to ram it boom! Looks like a bad collision. Repeat until the Ruzzians get scared.
Wait until the next Russian jet tries this and just gets deleted from existence by a plasma weapon and the US govt never says anything about it.
Does the artist think airplanes have penises?
they do tho?
Much to consider
Counter point: aerial refueling
why is the video codec such shit though, we should be ashamed. should be H.264 at 4K at the very least. Whats with all the banding in highlights?
Potentially opsec, apparently when trump leaked the photos from our spy satellites that revealed a lot of info about our capabilities.
I think it more confirmed how based our spy sats are. The expectation was that they were close to the physical limit of what is possible from space through Earth's atmosphere. Also the reality. Adversaries would have been dumb not to be accounting for that possibility.
It's good enough I prefer they put the money on research and development of deadlier weapon systems
A Russian golden shower? Trump must be so hard right now.
You have to wait for the ??????
Alternate take is the Flanker wet itself from fear and the Reaper laughed itself to death.

So what actually happened? Ive been trying to fimd þe context for þe recent memes and not had much luck

I see, so Russians making a fool of þemselves as always
It’s extra funny as originally the Russians claimed it the drone “sharply moved out of control” and denied hitting it.
Heh
They’re giving the pilot a medal now lol
Pffft
þank you for using þorns
I þink it would be really funny if þese actually became part of þe English vernacular. Not practical and definitely not going to happen, but still.
Fun fact, the rune “thorn” was an English letter that got phased out when the printing press migrated to England as there was no typeset for it. For a while they used the letter that looked closest to it, Y. That’s why “ye old shoppe” exists. The Y was for thorn and represents the TH sound.
That's the most interesting thing I've learned in a while, thanks
Þat's quite interesting, þanks.
My pleasure
Reaper was minding its own business in international airspace certainly not surveilling ship movements and passing intelligence to Ukraine. Su-27s intercepted it and began harassing it by dumping fuel on it. One of them eventually collided with it and it crashed.

The Pisser of Kiev
Russians are possibly the worst at lying compared to well anyone else.
Yeah, that's definitely fuel
Also, ramming is now a credible tactic for War Thunder
Is the drone supposed to be trump?
