1. That is pretty badass looking.

2. Is there any science or anything to back up the effectiveness of this tactic? These rockets are not designed to be shot up in the air like this so it seems, at face value, that a pilot is just doing a lot of guesswork and hoping rockets hit in the area of something Russian. Is there more to it than that?

3. Its pretty fake looking to me.

4. Ivy Lab – Cake, for anyone wondering

5. Sending some hurt.

6. The mash up of old soviet era and US weapons still blows my mind. Never thought we’d see something like that.

7. Absolutely wasting them with totally inaccurate random barrages , effective only against poor farmers fields

8. What is a good comparison to the blast yield of one of those rockets? A grenade, Artillery shell? Etc

9. Insane, those rockets are huge

10. The bias is killing this sub.

    Replace Ukrainian with Russian and all the comments are ‘attack run? they’re shooting wildly into the air LOL’ ‘Typical Russians just firing into nothingness, probably towards civilians’ and the ilk.

    Ukraine does it and it’s somehow magically different despite it being the same thing and you have several commenters pointing out how ‘acktually they’re actually semi precise and this is why’.

11. Actually kinda beautiful

12. At first I thought this was a LAAT Republic Gunship from the Clone Wars

13. Damn!

    I remember taking one of these out in Metal Gear Solid

14. From Ukraine w love 🇺🇦
