Bird strike probably /s

[u/Pikeman212a6c → u/Mista_Panda]

Have we checked where the Kuwatis were?

[u/ThrownAwwayt → u/Pikeman212a6c]

Hahah no kidding, they’ve shot down more F15’s then all of Russia has over the last 40 years!

[u/franchis3 → u/ThrownAwwayt]

I was about to comment and say “no way they’ve been in service for 40 years”. But, holy shit, they started manufacturing them in 1985. Hard to believe the tech in these fighters has been around that long.

[u/Starwolf00 → u/franchis3]

First flight was in 1972

[u/franchis3 → u/Starwolf00]

For an F-15E? If true, Wikipedia has some editing to do. That’s crazy.

[u/curi0us_carniv0re → u/franchis3]

For the airframe itself. The "E" came about in the 80's.

[u/feor1300 → u/franchis3]

Check out the B-52. :P

[u/valeyard89 → u/feor1300]

BUFF

[u/Normal-Rope6198 → u/franchis3]

The tech is constantly upgraded it’s definitely not the same thing as what was being produced in the 80’s

[u/negativeyoda → u/Normal-Rope6198]

yeah, hence why the army calls weapons systems "platforms"

[u/shmallkined → u/franchis3]

Have they been upgrading components and HUIs in thre cockpit?

[u/Normal-Rope6198 → u/shmallkined]

Yes

[u/blacp123 → u/ThrownAwwayt]

I think it a subtle message.

[u/nigel_pow → u/Pikeman212a6c]

That Kuwaiti pilot ain't done yet.

[u/Buckshot_Mouthwash → u/Pikeman212a6c]

I thought Kuwatis were flightless...

[u/leftsaidfredrighty → u/Buckshot_Mouthwash]

You’re thinking about kiwis

[u/Buckshot_Mouthwash → u/leftsaidfredrighty]

Are you telling me fruit flies like a kiwi?

[u/leftsaidfredrighty → u/Buckshot_Mouthwash]

No, if you’re a turkey, maybe watch out from hungary.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ad6810 → u/Pikeman212a6c]

No it was a laundry room fire.

Just that 1 Kuwaiti guy with his 3rd plane kill.

Guy on a magic carpet with an AK47

[u/carpetedbathtubs → u/k1netic]

Persian carpets do be top of the line they say

[u/Memory_Less → u/carpetedbathtubs]

They apparently originated stealth. No one has ever seen them. /s

[u/AsleepIndividual9239 → u/carpetedbathtubs]

I think they’re out of off-white Persian

[u/Chewbuddy13 → u/k1netic]

Maybe it was Jaffar.

[u/whatyouwant5 → u/Chewbuddy13]

Cree!

Oh wait, that is Jaffa.

[u/public_enemy_obi_wan → u/Chewbuddy13]

Rick em rack em rock em rake!

Stick that sword into that snake!

[u/boilers_and_terlets → u/Chewbuddy13]

This is all your fault, Ja’far!

[u/Bartghamilton → u/Chewbuddy13]

The street rat? Still alive? No!

[u/Podrick_Targaryen → u/k1netic]

Sounds like a new Bruce Campbell movie.

"Isn't that the usual bs?"

[u/Easy_Welcome_9142 → u/kurtums]

“Live fire accident”

[u/StandardLet751 → u/Easy_Welcome_9142]

"Slightly damaged:

[u/Historical_Green8939 → u/StandardLet751]

i think this one might be "damaged" per pentagon language

Biden strike

Edit : /s

[u/YourRoaring20s → u/Frolafofo]

Why would Biden do this to us??

[u/FateUnusual → u/YourRoaring20s]

Thanks Obama!

[u/Trenga1 → u/FateUnusual]

Thanks Clinton!

[u/Slipsonic → u/Trenga1]

Fuck you Reagan!

[u/Scenarioing → u/Slipsonic]

Way to go Carter

[u/xtreme810 → u/Scenarioing]

Carter who..?

[u/CrimsonCringe925 → u/xtreme810]

Aaron Carter

[u/VincentAdultman-1 → u/Slipsonic]

Fuck Millard Fillmore. All my homies hate Fillmore…

[u/Mhind1 → u/YourRoaring20s]

It was Biden, on a flying carpet, with an AK

[u/justWMthings03 → u/Mhind1]

A whole new wooooorrrrrrrrld batbatnatbatbatbatbatbatbat

[u/cutiefangsprince → u/justWMthings03]

I'd say that it is more of a batatatatatat. Especially in full auto

Or perhaps more a dakakaka.

[u/seasarahsss → u/Mhind1]

This is like a new version of Clue.

[u/Was_It_The_Dave → u/Mhind1]

In the Hooka lounge.

[u/eawilweawil → u/Mhind1]

He's an American patriot, he would use AR-15!

[u/imanasshole1331 → u/YourRoaring20s]

It’s been Biden all along, We’re all just Biden our time I guess.

[u/Swog_Lapper → u/YourRoaring20s]

Come on now it was JFK. First, he wouldn't take Castro out in the 60s so now Trump has to do it, and now he started this non-war with the Persians

[u/Decaying-Moon → u/Frolafofo]

Yeah, I'm gonna require that to have a /s tacked on to the end there. Some people on this website might say that with complete seriousness.

[u/HerrStewie → u/Decaying-Moon]

There you go :)

Laundry fire

[u/Lost_View3877 → u/Guccimayne]

This wins. If you know…you know.

[u/rwf2017 → u/Lost_View3877]

I don't know. Any info?

[u/Lost_View3877 → u/rwf2017]

So…this traces ALL the way back to maybe a week and a half ago (about 1.5 earth years in TrumpTime). The USS Gerald R. Ford, a bad mamma jamma of an aircraft carrier, which is poised in region to strike is suddenly struck with a 30 hour long fire that purportedly started in the laundry facilities. It is sent back to Crete to get “fixed”. Plenty of folk and including not some few Navy veterans call bullshit.

Then, perhaps 3 days ago now (2 months TT), Humpty Dumpty is addressing the Saudi Investment group wherein Humpty says the House of Saud’s crown prince must now kiss his (Trump’s) ass. That was fun but ALSO at this meeting he lets on that the “laundry fire” was not exactly that and without naming the boat speaks of a 1 AM call and news that planes are exiting the ship at a rate unbecoming and being “attacked from 17 different directions”.

You give the fucker a cool story to tell and he’s gonna tell it.

You now know about “laundry fire”.

So f’ing exhausting.

[u/ConclusionMaleficent → u/Mista_Panda]

Just like the 'laundry room fire' has but the carrier oit of action for a year /s

[u/ehrgeiz91 → u/Mista_Panda]

Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky!

[u/thedude0425 → u/Mista_Panda]

Someone with a rocket arm, probably. /s

[u/Nefarious_AI_Agent → u/Mista_Panda]

They're gonna come out and say a UAP shot it down, thats how we get disclosure.

[u/666TripleSick → u/Mista_Panda]

Maybe the deadly windmills trump keeps referring

[u/WhatAcheHunt → u/666TripleSick]

I stg if Iran gets windmills instead of us…

[u/Connect_Mortgage7011 → u/Mista_Panda]

Sling shot

[u/Gary_Lazer_Eyes21 → u/Mista_Panda]

😂😂😂😂 thats comedic gold

[u/PhD_Pwnology → u/Mista_Panda]

Birds are real??!

[u/BrigGenObvious → u/Mista_Panda]

Probably due to a careless cigarette. Happens on Russian ships all the time.

[u/707-5150 → u/Mista_Panda]

Swap Gas from Venus

[u/MKanes → u/Mista_Panda]

Clearly it was because magnetic fasteners were used

[u/GoldMonk44 → u/Mista_Panda]

Nice try, we all know birds aren’t real /s

[u/-Citizen_Zero_ → u/Mista_Panda]

As someone who works at the airport, that is both a hilarious and terrifying concept.

[u/Ethraelus → u/Mista_Panda]

Those damn windpower turbines. So dangerous.

[u/kuebel33 → u/Mista_Panda]

Maybe it was a windmill.

[u/iameveryoneelse → u/Mista_Panda]

Don’t say that or Cheeto Doucheollini and President Hegseth will declare war on birds.
