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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

cnn headline leaving out the best bit.

yemeni armed forces assisted comrade ocean in this one:

A US official said that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard. The Houthi rebel group claimed on Monday to have launched a drone and missile attack on the aircraft carrier, which is in the Red Sea as part of the US military’s major anti-Houthi operation.

Another F/A-18 from the Truman was also “mistakenly fired” upon and shot down by the USS Gettysburg in the Red Sea in December ; both pilots ejected safely.

Lmao

It'd be insane, likely an ecological disaster.

[–] PorcupineSlippers@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

In all fairness, the US Military is an ecological disaster

Houthi Air Force is 2-0 despite not existing

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Houthi Air Force will all be ace pilots not before long, with Comrades Shark, Orca, and Ocean having several assists.

Is it typical for it to just fall off the front?

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

usually the front falls off

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

A missile? In enemy territory? Chance in a million!

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

only if cardboard and cardboard derivatives are used

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

It fell off the ship when it was in transport in tow transitioning from the flight deck to the hangar bay. A Houthi missle and drone was fired at the AC which caused the AC to bank hard and gravity did the rest.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

that's not very typical, i'd like to make that point

[–] TheWolfOfSouthEnd@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If the turn was hard enough that an aircraft fell off the side, then potentially several aircraft were effectively destroyed by just sliding along the deck into each other.

Lashing the aircraft to the deck is woke and we're not doing that anymore.
