And this one...!

A unique ultra expensive Russian drone shot down by... Russia - as it malfunctioned... they tried to prevent it from falling into Ukrainian hands...

The operation failed! Its now in Ukrainian hands, and it’s another win for the technical experts at the Pentagon.

Russian aircraft seem to lack a certain elegance...

F-16 Fighting Falcon, kicking butt and taking names for over 40 years. It’s a fighter pilot’s fighter.

I doubt the F 16 shot it down (guns), rather an AIM7 or advanced AIM9.

The newer AMRAAMs (7s) are awesome.

Neither report has been confirmed and Newsweek has contacted the Russian and Ukrainian defense ministries for comment over the unverified claims which have sparked much speculation on social media.

Hard hitting investigative journalism by Newsweek.

This means that the Ruskies are about to completely lose this war! They’re almost out of ammo and Putin is on his deathbed! Break out the champagne and start up the parades!

So they aren’t totally useless, besides soaking up Kinzhal missiles. But we already knew that. So does that mean the score is now about 10-1 against the F-16 in Ukraine now?

Thank you for yet another post from Newsweek. We look forward to their always absolutely truthful reporting. We need no other source of our information! /sarc

We are still using the term supersonic, like it’s 1965 and extra neat.

Supersonic just means that it is able to go faster than 760mph, if it wants to. Among fighter jets it is ubiquitous, and not really meaningful in combat effectiveness or survival.
