The one and only! The mighty! Su-70!
Oh shit where is it?
This is a carjack!
No actually this is a Su-70 and my name is not Jack?
@LaFinlandia why? Easy. They are #fuckrussia.
Aren’t engine exhausts like that highly counterproductive for stealth aircraft? Are they still stuck with their same engine they used on their fighter jets that also caused them to have stealth issues?
It’s immensely noticeable on radar. That giant round engine is going to stick out like a sore thumb on radar and IR.
There was one built with a flat nozzle in 2021, so uh, guess this was the first one of the two
Hrm, then it sounds like it wasn’t nearly as “stealthy” as they hoped…
No, you see, this is just how amazing Russian AA missiles are!
Maybe that was the point? They checked how easy it was to be detected by an anti aircraft missile?
Why would they do that over Ukraine?
If the Russian missile fails, it will automatically be tested against western radars and anti-aircraft missiles.
Expensive way to check.
“Oi! Ricky bruv you say that has stealth or summat but I got a lock”
tap tap tap
but in Russian
At the rate they’re conscripting prisoners their uniforms may as well be track suits
I remember reading about the design of the F14 Tomcat. In one of the flight tests, the fighter was downed by a missile the pilot had fired himself. The point is shit happens.
I think you might be conflating with this story.
The F-14 was testing the missile launch system, and the engineers failed to consider all the factors of the test missile and the system, causing it to not successfully clear the aircraft on launch, damaging the aircraft. Not really shooting itself down, or a failure of the F-14 design.
But to your real point, yeah, shit happens.
Thank you. I’m from before the internet and this story I read in those magazine collections that we would buy and glue them together in books. This one is from around 1990 and either was badly told or my mind imagined something different.
Those orcs waste so many resources on dumb stuff, so many… It somehow became their signature move in the 21st century.
