An ounce of high explosive won’t take down a plane. Even at cruising altitude.

Apparently, the solution to this is retrorockets -

Once clear of the plane a single large main chute opens. The deployment of the main chute triggers the deployment of four long rods which hang beneath the pallet. As soon as the rods touch the ground fires, slowing the BMD to a descending speed between 6 m/s and 7 m/s and giving it a relatively soft landing. This system entered service in 1975 and allows a BMD to be relatively safely parachuted with both the driver and the gunner.

Fuck off right off with that briefcase shit, the only non-cringe nuke is the Davy Crockett. Russia’s got fuck all to say to the atomic recoilless rifle of freedom.

This comment managed to age poorly really fast.

Shorts and crocs. All he needed was a cigarette in his mouth while he did it.

Yo, the mods here are all big jerks

Say what you will about the guy, he’s got more experience shooting down civilian jets than almost anyone.

he was on a plane that crashed in Russia today, possibly because it collided with a a2a missile.

Air defense was also active around Moscow, where it allegedly shot down a plane full of mercenaries.

Hahaha.

Also, per the BBC’s reporting:

Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

Surprisingly not surprising.

Garbage propaganda community

So, you want Ukraine to capitulate and to reward Russia’s imperialist warmongering.

That’s not a generational thing, that’s a “uncritically accepting Russian propaganda” thing.

A W54 warhead is only 60-70 pounds (30ish kg). Not quite a letter bomb, but you could play a pretty funny prank on someone for relatively modest shipping costs.

I like that they didn’t even try to translate boy kisser into Russian

Nah

He’s a private citizen at this point, he can go meet politicians in other countries if he wants.

Thanks for keeping me honest!

Ok, but that caption is completely wrong about what, “the dictatorship of the proletariat,” means.

I like that they had to bring Ukraine into it for no apparent reason.

Jeez, now everyone’s gonna want to glass a city in Russia.

Ok, ok - just for you we’ll glass Moscow.
