Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Passive voice, not to excuse Russia, but to hide the fact that Russia can take them out.

Shit just fell out of the sky I guess

Do we know it wasn't a mechanical or pilot error? Ukraine literally just started using F-16s, and only had a few months to train pilots.

Edit: It helps if you read the article.

The cause of the crash was not a direct result of an enemy missile strike, the Ukrainian military claims.

Lmao he drove it into the ground.

There is a third option you forgot.

One of Ukraine's officials claimed that a Patriot missile took it out.

It was lost during a Russian missile attack, even if it was shot down by Russians, it would be way too embarrassing for the US/Ukrainians/NATO to admit. They were just delivered and already lost 1. Ukraine's Air Force Chief was fired right after this event lmao

When your F-16s exist in the context of all in which they fall out of the sky and the incompetence that came before them. kamala-coconut-tree

There goes that passive voice again

I find it funny that people, when Ukraine has a win, will talk about how great the Ukrainians are and how Russia sucks, but when Russia has a win there's crickets.
