And killed their top pilot. Apparently they didn't coordinate correctly to keep the jet from being targeted by their new anti-aircraft missile system.
The Babylon bee literally could have written this story https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/first-us-made-f16-jet-downed-ukraine-during-combat-pilot-killed
Start your meme cannons cause this one is a killer! We could have just shot their pilot and saved US taxpayers close to $2 billion dollars......
F-16: $63 million
Patriot anti-aircraft missile defense system $1 billion system & $4 million per missile
The look on Putin's face when he hears Ukraine saved him ALOT of money by shooting down it's own jet: Priceless
Stupidity. It's everywhere Kyiv used to be.
And for those in the back…it’s pronounced kee-ev. Two syllables.
None of this npr bullshit keeve crap.
Ever have chicken key-ve
I heard a female reporter talking about Daniel Craig’s Spectre 007 movie.
She called it,
Puttin on airs....
That's what they're trying to do, sounds more Upper Class, so they seem to be ""Better"" than the ""Riff raff"" they look down upon....
I had commented about the word "quixotic." Don Quixote is pronounced key-ho-tee, but quixotic is not key-ho-tic (apparently it's kwiks-otic)? I had commented about someone in an interview pronounce quixotic as kwiks-otic which I thought was wrong based on the correct pronunciation of Quixote. So I deleted it and have now put out there for all to see that I agree to disagree with google pronunciation lol (ie, I may be wrong). :D
Not for nothing but I got corrected in high school by my English teacher for not pronouncing it (keyohtic).
I've heard it done bothbways so there is a disagreement on it among acedemia.
I pronounce it "key......ev" just so nobody mistakes me for a lib.
the ghost of kiev literally
Now he certainly is.
Lets not berate them for putting in the PRACTICE TIME....
They need to Practice shooting Down Airplanes, and we have gifted them both the Best Most Expensive Targets, and Weapons to shoot down those Targets....
Just in case they need to shoot down some Real Enemy Targets....
If you could sum up and explain this whole conflict in a single event...
At least they know the missile system is in good working condition. KEK
DEI military over there too.
Looks like another win for the Patriots.
Ba dum tiss
The "Ghost of Kyiv" would be proud of his sacrifice!!
They have been unburdened by what has been.
They shot down their own plane?
Yep. Their plane that we bought them with their missiles that we bought them.
At least it was their pilot.
Shit next time the gov should just pay me a million to go shoot the pilot and saved a lot of money In the name of efficiency.
You forgot "Again"
Patriot missiles have always been unreliable at best. They're lucky they hit anything. Reminds me of " you'll shoot your eye out "
Just look at how the BBC are framing this: https://web.archive.org/web/20240829202353/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd0532n9pdko
Headline: "Ukraine F-16 destroyed during Russian attack, BBC told"
Third paragraph: "The cause of the crash was not a direct result of an enemy missile strike, the Ukrainian military claims."
The propaganda stinks.
Yeah I saw that
The fuckin spin level made me dizzy
But if you criticize the BBC, the Gestapo goons show up at your door.
At least they didn't miss.
So its working?
Whelp look on the bright side... they finally got that pesky ghost of Keeve
Fuck them for wasting a good bird.
So who’s winning? Last I heard was Putin is getting reamed? Is that fake news too?
If anyone thinks Putin is losing at this point, they need to self remove themselves from the gene pool via years late abortion.
It's called Post Partum Self Abortion these days....
We no longer call it Unaliving Oneself....
And we definitely don't call it the ""S"" word....
My condolences to the pilots family. (This after I stopped laughing at the headline alone...)
Swords to plowshares.
We have achieved MIC perfection. One interaction, two new orders for replacement gear.
I can hear putin laughing histsricly from my house, and he has evey right to. When are the retards in this country going to figure this out??
😬
