(packaged-media.redd.it)
If they want Ukraine, send them through hell to get it. ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ
Yes ๐บ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ช๐ฒ๐ซ!!!
Even if only for morale, these fly overs are great.
Morale is one of the most important things in war.. :)
Woohoo! Shake it baby!
I gotta present for ya!
Top gun 3 - Slava Ukraine writes itself.
Forcibly retired from flight by the US for 1 to many reckless flybys, Maverick who was training Ukrainian fighter pilots learns that his favourite student was shot down and tortured behind Russian lines.
Disowned by his own Government nothing left to lose.
His whole life has led to this.
Massive dogfights in F16s against Ivanโs in Migs with his squadron of young brave Ukrainian wingmen.
Will he prevail against Russian air superiority against the odds?
Will this be his final blaze of glory fighting for freedom across the war torn skies of Ukraine?
Letโs fucking go! (And Russians go home!)
What is this metal-construction? For radio? It's part of a military vehicle, isn't it?
This is an antenna array, a periodic configuration of individual antennas that results in a much narrower emission and absorption profile/shape. The individual antennas are of ~cm size which makes it a microwave antenna. Very commonly used in military communication.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
