An ounce of high explosive won’t take down a plane. Even at cruising altitude.

Apparently, the solution to this is retrorockets -

Once clear of the plane a single large main chute opens. The deployment of the main chute triggers the deployment of four long rods which hang beneath the pallet. As soon as the rods touch the ground fires, slowing the BMD to a descending speed between 6 m/s and 7 m/s and giving it a relatively soft landing. This system entered service in 1975 and allows a BMD to be relatively safely parachuted with both the driver and the gunner.

Fuck off right off with that briefcase shit, the only non-cringe nuke is the Davy Crockett. Russia’s got fuck all to say to the atomic recoilless rifle of freedom.

Yo, the mods here are all big jerks

Say what you will about the guy, he’s got more experience shooting down civilian jets than almost anyone.

he was on a plane that crashed in Russia today, possibly because it collided with a a2a missile.

Air defense was also active around Moscow, where it allegedly shot down a plane full of mercenaries.

Hahaha.

Also, per the BBC’s reporting:

Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

Surprisingly not surprising.

I like that they didn’t even try to translate boy kisser into Russian

Probably because adapting a boat is easier and cheaper.

FWIW, this isn’t the first mention I’ve heard of Ukraine using S-200s for ground targets. See here. It’s certainly plausible.

I wonder what that building is.

Hitting a pasture and landing in cow shit would account for “non-human biologics.” I’m incredibly skeptical.

A former intel officer testified to a house committee that the US has had a UFO retrieval program for years, and that we’ve recovered non-human “biologics” from the crash sites. He has no direct knowledge of anything, by his own admission, but he’s willing to provide more detail to congress in a secure facility.

I’ll keep the possibility open, I guess, but it sounds like absolute bullshit for a variety of reasons.

They’ll probably try to emulate Fr*nce and preemptively nuke Germany in response to Soviet Russian aggression.

The internet peaked with gopher, tbh. Mosaic was the beginning of the end.

How else is he going to eat the baby’s soul, though?

We stopped doing awesome things and that was stupid, and I’m glad we’re getting back to it.

A majority of Americans opposed the moon landings.

Eventually you’ll realize those aren’t mutually exclusive.

Honestly, Russia was a huge mistake and we should just glass them already.
