"You know, the bird."
"I was in a 4G inverted dive, and the range was about 2 meters..."
This is about to get nasty.
They keep trying to gin up another Tonkin Gulf incident.
The Ukraine isn’t worth the life of even a single American aviator.
I don’t trust Biden’s woke Pentagon spokeshole. And I sure don’t trust the Guardian.
The Cold War is back.
Once again and soon enough we’ll be hearing the old BS about how Russian and NATO planes will be getting lost in “training accidents”.
Macho Russians , D’oh
Kafka is a Pentagon spokesdroid?
Can’t make this crap up.
“They keep trying to gin up another Tonkin Gulf incident.”
This crap used to go on all the time and now it’s happening again. There’s no need for anyone to fake this kind of thing.
But if this is how the Russians want to play then next time the Navy guys will have CAP coverage and it will not end well for Ivan. Hope the bastards can swim.

Hi.
I don’t know why this article reminds me of Wong Wei. Chicom J6 pilot who messed with a P8 over the S. China sea. He ended up being fish food.
I know Ivan personally. Ivan is gonna Ivan.
Whether it’s a crazy Ivan, or a Foxbat pilot ejecting over the Afgan plain saving the last bullet for himself.
Ivan is gonna Ivan.

You seem to be losing sight the “bastards” are highly trained soldiers. They aren’t the typical 3rd worlder militaries our forces are used to dealing with. Also remind yourself the most challenging combat decions they are faced with now is which lipstick matches their uniforms, and I’m referring to the males.
Don’t worry. Our pilot was vaccinated
