So...how many Planes did they loose in the last 24 hours?

Good footage tho.

 

That is some seriously impressive reaction time from impact to ejection. I wonder if he saw the missile launch and at least had that 1-2 seconds of warning...otherwise I'm just going to assume it's procedure in the SU-25 to have one hand on the ejection handle at all times.

These days over Ukraine, I'll bet it is.

I read on Twitter the Su-25 punchout/SukaBlyat was in June, in Russia, training.  Belgorod Oblast.  Hit a power line.

Hence the lollygagging.  Also the orange parachute risers are apparently only used in the training environment.

red= powerline blue= pond green= aircraft track. And marker is final location.

Who made that product and how do I get them to teach my unit Intel how to Intel? (Some are great; many turn written words into sounds.)

Idk, but I'm betting they're playing fast and loose with the numbers...

Would help explain why his vertical stab is missing...looks like a clean cut that would not be caused by a missile impact.

I thought the chute was integrated into the seat and I've never seen Russia be efficient enough to swap combat colored parachutes.   WOuld be interesting to know for certain.

Gee… I wonder what Ivan’s planning.

I'm sure they are really good at it and train often.  Probably about as often as they change the tires on their supply trucks.  

[hindsight2020]

given a bunch of 'em russian fuckos got mad radiation poisoning/ARS at Chernobyl months back by digging up/kicking up the hell out of the Red Forest, my guess is they'll do just as well with their little false flag operation. The world would stand to gain by finding a bullet to the head of that KGB megalomaniac and his authoritarian swan song.

 

slava ukraini.

One of those days it’s better to be lucky than good it appears. Russia must have run out of the competent flanker pilots.

Boycotting is interfering in democracy? 

Funny, Republicans used to be fans of "if you don't like it, don't work there/ buy their product/ live in the state".

Agreed. I think Hamill, the MLB, etc. are dumb for their reaction to the GA voting bill, but they are more than welcome to speak their mind and take their business elsewhere. I certainly do both all the time - lots of businesses these days I choose not to give my money to.

Not sure what there is on the island of Formosa for the CCP to reposes? Unlike many third world nations, Taipei hasn't wanted or needed mainland Chinese help in building any of their infrastructure. The CCP effectively has no presence in Taiwan, so I think it'd be pretty hard to "reposes" anything there without assaulting it first.

 Pretty incredible to watch the impact/rise in importance unmanned systems are playing in all facets of war.

Recent chat about the Russians being reluctant to employ the SU-57 in Ukraine.  It is reported that they just took delivery a few more bringing their total to 12.

Interesting photos reportedly first person from an SU-57.  If these images are real then it is obvious there airplane are far more rudimentary and FAR less stealthy than the F-22 and F-35.  Uneven seams and what appears to be standard metal screws.

Drywall screws truly fix anything!

Little known fact… the same was true of Comanche.

Thing has exposed bolt heads all over it. But it’s black = stealth.

putting my coveralls back on for a second and observing those screws look kinda fried and that leading edge looks beat to shit, i wonder if it's just cause they have so few and are flying them a lot or if maybe they're broke all the time

Reuters: Russia is performing so poorly in the war that we are graciously giving them an opportunity to save face and negotiate their retreat from occupied territories. Right?

At least that’s the way I interpret it.

We’re winning!!

They probably fly the jet without the low observable paint to save money, when they do it most likely goes into the paint hanger for a week to correct that. We do the same with ours. Come out of major inspections then fly it to get the cobwebs out of it, then to paint hangar for the special coatings then green it up for real world taskings.

...seems like now might be when they would want to do that. i have never worked fifth gen, i will take your word for it. you think this jet is just like coming out of cat status or something?
