Nice shot, keep it up
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't usually say this, but good job Russia.
At the current rate of advancement 127 years until Russia conquers Ukraine. At the current rate of fighter/bomber lose this year..... Russia will be out of fighters/bombers by next year. For those wondering they produce three a year and lost like 24 in the last 4 months.
Poor chap, imagine training your whole life just to be shot down by a friendly.
Nice shot though.
They probably got scooped from a jail cell and plopped into that because they could fly a crop duster. Let’s not pretend the Russian military is full of elite soldiers
Do you think they'd risk a fighter jet with a random inmate who can fly? The average military being bad doesn't mean they don't have the means to train some elite, they are still a huge country selling a shitload of fossil fuel to everyone, including oil to EU.
I do
Russians shoot down another of their Flankers - thereby opening up a discussion about fratricide risk in war.
It’s probably just shit training.
According to David Axe ar Forbes, the 38th Regiment’s only known air-to-air kill was a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone pictured below on March 14, 2023.
Great work, chaps!
Wound up inverted in a flat spin. No way out of that one.
There are things to try for a flat spin but not for the fully engulfed in flames part
I saw a pic of a chute right before the video starts. No idea if it's true.
tongue click Nice.
NOICE
I didn't know the Ukrainians had Flankers. I thought the MiG 29 was their most advanced jet.
They've got more Fulcrums, but iirc they have like 20-30 flankers
