Nice shooting, boys.

The pilot is lucky to have survived. I understand ejecting out of a jet at probably a low altitude isn’t the safest thing there is.

[Wilhelm Tell]

But safer than crashing.

Not “state of the art,” rather state of past art.

The salient fact is that the Russians are now using 4th generation aircraft against the Ukrainians and losing them.

Putin isn’t long for this world. He’s shown that the Russian military is a paper tiger. Their equipment is crap. Their troops are crap. Their doctrine is crap. Their entire country is a tissue of lies.

4th Russsian Generation. It is not the same thing as 4th generation in, say, Israel or the USA.

We were told that in the 70's and I half believed them. The only problem back then was that there were so damn many of them.

Looks like they downsized their army a lot since the end of the Cold War.

If it could be proven that guys like this one dropped bombs on buildings full of women and kids INTENTIONALLY (following orders is no excuse) he should be hung to the nearest light post.

China needs to understand that. Even their vaunted J-20
would have its ass handed to it by a new F-16.

[Libloather]

That should buff right out.

[Tai_Chung]

Taiwan has 141 F-16 A/B with 66 F-16 C/D on order.

Is that really a Russian flight suit that one wear in a super-sonic fighter airplaine>

Ukes at it again with POW humiliation photos like Iranians, ISIS, the North Vietnamese, Saddam and other messed up places do.

And the Chinese are saying:
“If the Ukranians can do this to Russia, think what the US can do to us... No wait! We have Joe and Hunter.”

[Lurker]

“4th Russsian Generation.”

And it was knocked out of the sky by an opponent who isn’t even 3rd Russian generation.

“Ukes at it again with POW humiliation photos…”

The Russians don’t need any help to be humiliated. They’re doing a fine job all on their own.

The Russians got a lot of their spare parts from Ukraine.

United States Stinger. They’ll end up shooting down airliners soon. Nice shooting my ass.
