Side issue, Su-25s are not fighter planes.

I do tire of the media’s military definitions.

Fighter = All military aircraft with <4 engines

Tank = All armored vehicles

Battleship = Frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and sometimes aircraft carriers

Aircraft carrier = anything you can fit 3 or more helicopters on

Soldier = anyone in uniform

Naval officer = 3rd class petty officers and up

Ballistic missile = every missile that isn’t shoulder fired

Missile = Anything that comes off an aircraft

Bomb = Anything that comes off an aircraft

Pilot = Any member of an aircraft’s crew

Military ranks = too confusing to mention

I’m still looking for some of those AR-15 shotguns and handguns.
