      I was thinking it’s from The Penguins of Madagascar, Skipper says “just smile and wave, boys, smile and wave” practically once per episode.

      There’s not much to understand. Just a shitpost about American F-35s and F-16s passing by a Russian Su-57 at the Aero India airshow. The 57 is obviously fully aroused given this is its first time witnessing such beauty.

      Had no understand either. Apperently the U.S withdrew their F-35 and F-16 Planes from competing at the Aero India 2025 after it turned out that a russian SU-57 was gonna be showcased there as well. Resulting in some Butt hurt feelings all round.

    Why did the let the raptor and the felon be so close together? Can’t they turn on their sensors and learn each other down to the last bolt? Or at least measure the rcs from different angles? The raptor anyway.

        OMG you’re right. Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me, and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all that I am.

        I cannot live with such a mistake. I shall eject out of a tu-22 below 1000ft.

        (My point still stands tho)
