Scruffy actually heard this was performed by a Ukrainian woman of color.

Support Ukraine to support diversity!

Sounds like you're just deflecting now that you've been educated on the fact that this is a very achievable feat

You missed his point. Every country has war propaganda. This isn't specific to any one country or group of countries.

Assuming it was an AIM-9?, max range of 20-ish miles (which seems a bit far?)

But they easily could have changed the goddamned text to read, "Using the cannon, the pilot needed to get within 500 meters."

So it is very likely propaganda.

I bet no one has even died in that war. If they’re going to lie about one thing why should I believe anyone died? Hell, does Russia even exist? How can we even be sure?

Would you believe US pilots have been shooting down rockets in the ME for a year or more now?

Why so angry? We are questioning the legitimacy of a news story but your panties got in a bundle since you think we are not down for the cause.

fun fact.....fighters were downing cruise missiles all the way back in WW2 where British fighters use their wings to tip over V1 rockets and frick up their navigational equipment.


Nah, it was the supermodel sniper that took them out.

You Ukraine fanboys falling for these stories is quite comical.

Why is this the standard response to discussion in this board? I’m simply using the same exact logic you’re using.

You can absolutely push some claims aside as propaganda while understanding that another claim which isn’t really difficult whatsoever as likely legitimate.

As stated before….US pilots have been doing this exact thing using both F18’s and Helo’s against Houthi rockets for a while now but somehow the Ukrainians with a very viable jet aren’t able to?

I tend to view this story with the same skepticism that every dollar Joe Biden has sent over there has gone directly to the war effort.

Dude, these same mother frickers had a faulty missile that accidentally struck Poland


Yes. Machines malfunction.

then they lied and said that Russia struck Poland and that the US and NATO now had to come in with boots on the ground and officially start World War III over that.


Yes. Countries lie their asses off in war.

They do not get any benefit of the doubt after that bullshite. Just assume everything they say is a lie including the words “a” and “the.”


The entire war is a lie. No one died. Russia isn’t even there. All that happened is they dropped a bottle of vodka and the company refused to give them a refund.

I am sure it is possible but with the fantastical stories that have been pouring out of Ukraine we are a little apprehensive hence the meme of Ghost of Kyiv, Model Sniper and Drone Boy.
