US used billions of dollars in R&D for Raper drone, honed different software to achieve not only independent ability for it to rape without operator input incase of communication interference but also different types of rape from skullfuck, sodomy to vaginal intercourse, and used extra functionality for state of the art hydraulic system for the rape to be forceful enough even if it raised the maintenance costs. The end result was the best and most complicated Raper drone in history.
Russians used a bottle of cheap vodka and a mobik.

The Reaper costs about $32 million while a SU-27 is closer to $30 million, the big difference is that the Mutts can replace that drone a lot more easily than the vatniks can replace that plane
Su-27s are already on the way out of RuAF inventory. They are pretty thoroughly obsolete and only have like 100, this would be the equivalent of using shit like a F-16A as a target drone.
>The Reaper costs about $32 million
Those quoted prices always include the price for the ground stations, all spare parts, all repairs and all maintenance over the whole service life of the aircraft. The individual drone airframe, even fully equipped with sesnors, is far, far cheaper than that.
I don't get why people don't understand this about military procurement. Vast majority of people think it's a one off purchase like a civilian consumer purchase.

wut
they could certainly attempt it but there are two major problems with the idea. the first being russian air defense, and second that attempting to enforce a no-fly zone is an act of war. colliding with a reaper over international waters gives at least the plausible deniability of saying "it was an accident :3" that shooting it down wouldn't, so they are not really comparable
i think the biden admin will talk a lot of shit and then blame it on ukrainians or something, like they've done with the nordstream pipeline and the "six guys on a yacht" or w/e
>Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped >fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner. This incident demonstrates a lack of competence
lack of competence? so, let me get this straight, russians just deliberately downed a US military's asset and US is pretending nothing happened? what the fuck? ofc they did it with some bullshit instead of launching rocket at it but it is still was a hostile action.
>and the US is pretending nothing happened
the US will pay it back, they don't give a fuck about 30mill for the drone they'll donate another 10 billion in equipment to ukraine just for this.

you're making the usual backasswards misunderstanding of money
fiat money is created with a signature
it is DESTROYED by taxes
the deficit reflects the growth in money tokens which is needed to express the economy's growth without making the existing tokens more valuable (which would create deflation).
They probably just didn't expect the Russians to chimp out so hard over a single Reaper drone. They'll probably respond by stepping up air patrols over the Black Sea to discourage harassment of their surveillance assets.
The US is going to respond by flying planes daily to escort drones, just like what happened with Iran after they shot down drones over the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
>Tsymbal manoeuvred the fighter dangerously close to the Orion and the port fin struck the No. 4 propeller. The dielectric fin cap shattered immediately, but so did the propeller and the debris punctured the fuselage skin, causing decompression; the damaged propeller caused violent vibration, forcing the crew to shut down the engine. Some accounts say that Tsymbal was not content and positioned his Su-27 ahead of the P-3, dumping fuel on its fuselage! Anyway, both aircraft made for home, landing safely at their respective bases.
HMMMMM

vatnigs deliberately ignored "ukrainians" operating state of the art military equipment against their forces, now mutts have to do the same to avoid getting their escalation
>now mutts have to do the same to avoid getting their escalation
At this point I'd like escalation I think it imperative for the future of mankind Russia is nuked as soon as possible and I'm not alone
nato members send military equipment en masse to ukraine to be used against russian forces, including tanks, himars and aerial reconnaissance. do you honestly believe that these were only operated by ethnic ukranian soldiers. who were all of a sudden capable of operating them effectively? do you believe that nato members did not supply personnel, intel and at least partial access to military assets like satellites to the ukrainians along with "cold war leftovers"? i don't buy it. vatnigs knew this, which is why they always talk about mercenaries and similar nonsense - to avoid acknowledging overtly that they and nato are already fighting, with all the military and political consequences. now they copied this by "accidentally" downing a reaper drone, and the us can't openly say "ivan shot down our drone" because then they'd have to formally aknowledge hostilities with the russians with all that entails.
>nato members send military equipment en masse to ukraine to be used against russian forces, including tanks, himars and aerial reconnaissance. do you honestly believe that these were only operated by ethnic ukranian soldiers
Yup. Russia lost to Ukraine. Stop leaking cope.
>nothing sudden
which would prove russian propaganda about they west arming ukraine even before the invasion at least partially right, no? >incredulity is not an argument
how is stating a claim to be improbable or unbelievable not an argument? neither you nor me can prove either way, so relying on credibility and assumptions is what's left
>we can collide with or pass oil on your aircraft and crash it >but if you touch one of ours directly it will be war
This is gonna be the official russian stance
I agree. I personally recommend a measured use of force, wherein nuclear weapons are only used in moderation. 100 or so warheads each should cover moscow and st petersburg with a liberal but not excessive peppering of radiation.
>Takes out a recon drone for seemingly no reason
Hate to sound like a concern troll, but are they trying to do something without us knowing about it? I highly doubt this was an accident given these drones have been flying for a year without incident.
What are they up to?
actually could've been just that russian pilot trying to personally stir some shit, without any great plan to enact.
the real question is why did he have enough time to troll the drone without any deterrence appearing? i dunno, an f16 launching from turkey or something?
Sounds like the russians were trying to do everything in the power to scare the drone off without actually shooting it down and cocked up. Just because this is the first one to go down, does not mean russia has not done things like this before
Probably just for a cheap propaganda win. They know NATO isn't going to escalate over a Reaper drone and a single Reaper is only a drop in the bucket compared to the total surveillance assets NATO has flying over the Black Sea.
Watch US cuck out and send 'deeply concerned' messages instead of 'IT'S FUCKING ON'. This is why the UK has Typhoon escorts now after Russia did this to their spy shit last year.
Of course they won't chimp out over this, they aren't undisciplined retards like Russia are. And UK jets are constantly scrambled by Russia encroaching on their airspace.
retard. They can barely propagandize themselves or get enough ammo for this war and you think they can restructure all of American culture into woke gender war bullshit
Yep, Russians as a whole are constantly on the edge of losing all ambition for this war. Their propaganda is absolute shit internally and externally. Why do you think they so desperately need a win at Bakhmut? Because the public is just about ready to drop this war altogether if Russia can’t make any gains
Navalny is on the verge of coming to power amid a resurgence of pro democracy activism in Russia after shocking revelations about the rift between Wagner and the MOD. These stories surfaced through multiple confirmed channels just in the nick of time to stem the spread of malign influence in the information space.
Putin would sooner initiate a full-scale nuclear exchange with NATO than give up his power and the only people in a position to stop him would rather plunge Russia into a Second Civil War than give up their power.

>Navalny

the mobster dictatorship has never been as popular. This is not monkes war, this is the russians war who want their mighty "empire" back. Chopping it out with a hatchet if they have to. "if they fear us they respect us" is their literal motto and oh boy do they get high off being unhinged paranoid schizophrenics.
This is going to flare up into a regional war this decade. Belarus occupied without resistance and war raging from estonia to Poland to ukraine
unironically just have an F-35 or F-22 flying a hundred km away w/o their transponders on and just record the next pair of russian jets fucking around with the next MQ-9 to essentially send the message "we could've taken you down and you wouldnt know it til you hit the ocean"
If by record, you mean radar lock out of fucking nowhere, sure. Just sending propaganda stills doesn't have the same spreading power in the RuAF barracks that "I'm only walking here because the Americans had mercy" while downing bottles of vodka does.
Wonder if the US is going to pull out one of their black projects, down several of Russian aircraft, and make it look like it was just russian incompetence at work.
Yes? Of course it does. But Article 5 isn't a 'you immediately attack move your entire force to the attackers' capital'. Military action is literally the 'up to' part of the treaty. Article 5 and NATO is about maintaining security in the North Atlantic Area (which hilariously means China could attack Pacific side USA and it couldn't get NATO involved technically). That can mean more sanctions, moving AA to borders, boosting troop numbers or thoughts and prayers.
So while the USA could go 'Yeah that's it, Article 5, we're going fully in boys' it wouldn't fly.
>dogfights
As much as I want to see it happen as well, we both know air-to-air engagements is going to be a slaughter with Russian aircraft getting picked off before they even have a chance to identify threats.
>which hilariously means China could attack Pacific side USA and it couldn't get NATO involved technically

With this most recent achievement, fate has in a single stroke, marked the decline of the east and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the American eagle, which promises to firmly stand in sharp contrast to the historically bloody ascent of eastern powers and the cruel subjugation it brought to the humbler nations of the world. With the blessings of American quantum direct-current electricity, quantum aircraft carriers and quantum enhanced railguns will be the instruments with which America affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers the non-eastern world a different option; an humanist alternative to the depredations of Eastern leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multilateralism.
What sir, may I ask your meaning is? In a single ruthless swoop of precision and accuracy, unrivaled camaraderie and unparalleled bravery, America took down the gloating tyranny of the Chinese balloon.
Yet again, the noble steward of the good earth that is America proudly rises into the sun, ready to face head on the modern challenges afflicting the contemporary world.
>first it's chinese spy balloons >america does nothing in response >now russia shoots down american military asset >will probably lead to nothing AGAIN
American drones get shot down all the time because they are literally everywhere and America is always pissing someone off so the easiest thing for them to do is shoot a drone. We don't even care
The worthwhile boards still ban wojacks and frogs on sight for low quality posts, but even here you can just take at as an easy sign to ignore the post.
So let me get this straight: American weapons are killing Russian soldiers, armour and planes by the dozen for over a year now, and the best way to retaliate that the Russians could come up is by ramming down a drone (ramming as opposed to shooting so that they can always claim that is was an ‘accident’ and not deliberate {please don’t slap}). And this is a propaganda victory how?
By the way, the funny thing is that Ukraine was not given this UAV because of secret technologies, but now they themselves “gave” the same technologies to the Russians.
They were afraid that the Ukrainians would lose this drone and, as a result, they themselves lost it, as they themselves say in the “collision”, that is, in the most stupid situation, and now, the Russians, which very actively wants to join the production of UAVs, will get it from the sea

the reason people are surprised is because the Reaper is 22 year tech, which in itself is built off of the MQ-1, which is 30 years old, old enough to have been used against the Serbs.
so why go after the MQ-9 as opposed to the actual ISR platform, RQ-4.
I want to dumpster Russia so bucking bad, Biden, don't pussy out. Do a "freedom of flight" exercise with 250 F-35s in international airspace around Russia for a week, show their emasculation in front of the world.
Tbqh US intel is half the reason they're getting their shit pushed in, it's understandable that they lash out impotently.
Pathetic, but undertstandable.
>violated the boundaries of the area of the temporary regime of airspace use established for the purpose of the Special Military Operation
The Russians know they don't have authority over international air space, right?
Brainlet question here: I think there's about nine countries total who have unambiguously recognized Crimea's annexation to the RF. So if a NATO country flies over the airspace of the Crimean peninsula and gets attacked by anything Russian, how does international law deal with that? Can the country flying over state that they cleared the flight with the Ukranian government as the legitimate owner of that airspace in the ICCJ or something?
If the UN doesn't recognize Crimea as Russian, they're not going to punish someone flying over what they consider to be Ukraine without Russian permission.

"Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto on Monday accused the Russian paramilitary group Wagner of promoting illegal migration to Europe to punish European countries supporting Ukraine.
“The exponential increase in the migration phenomenon from African shores is also, to a significant extent, part of a clear strategy of hybrid warfare that the Wagner group (…) is implementing using its significant weight in several African countries,” the minister said in a statement.
“Just as the EU, NATO and the West have realised that cyber attacks are part of the global confrontation that the war in Ukraine has opened up, they should now understand that the front in southern Europe is becoming more dangerous every day,” he continued.
“Uncontrolled and continuous immigration (…) is becoming a means to hit the most exposed countries, first and foremost Italy, and their geostrategic choices,” he warned."
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Monday, on the sidelines of a trip to Israel, that he was concerned “because many migrants are coming from areas controlled by the Wagner group.”

If it was a su-27 then the drone is actually more expensive than it, considerably so.
The Reaper costs about $32 million while a SU-27 is closer to $30 million, the big difference is that the Mutts can replace that drone a lot more easily than the vatniks can replace that plane
Su-27s are already on the way out of RuAF inventory. They are pretty thoroughly obsolete and only have like 100, this would be the equivalent of using shit like a F-16A as a target drone.

it is DESTROYED by taxes
the deficit reflects the growth in money tokens which is needed to express the economy's growth without making the existing tokens more valuable (which would create deflation).
They probably just didn't expect the Russians to chimp out so hard over a single Reaper drone. They'll probably respond by stepping up air patrols over the Black Sea to discourage harassment of their surveillance assets.
The Flanker very clearly accidentally hit the propeller of the MQ-9. I will not elaborate further.
t. Knower
The US is going to respond by flying planes daily to escort drones, just like what happened with Iran after they shot down drones over the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
It'd just diplomatic talk about how the Russians are 'behaving inappropriately' and a polite way of saying 'fuck off'
Just like old times
>Tsymbal manoeuvred the fighter dangerously close to the Orion and the port fin struck the No. 4 propeller. The dielectric fin cap shattered immediately, but so did the propeller and the debris punctured the fuselage skin, causing decompression; the damaged propeller caused violent vibration, forcing the crew to shut down the engine. Some accounts say that Tsymbal was not content and positioned his Su-27 ahead of the P-3, dumping fuel on its fuselage! Anyway, both aircraft made for home, landing safely at their respective bases.
HMMMMM
So pissing on mutto planes is ancient tradition?
>move bitch get out the way
> "Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped
fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner. This incident demonstrates a lack of competence
in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional."
Lmao, you can tell just how pissed off they are.
well, i was told multiple times that putin uses fuel as a weapon.
KILL ALL RUSSIANS!!!
>environmentally unsound

vatnigs deliberately ignored "ukrainians" operating state of the art military equipment against their forces, now mutts have to do the same to avoid getting their escalation
what?
>now mutts have to do the same to avoid getting their escalation
At this point I'd like escalation I think it imperative for the future of mankind Russia is nuked as soon as possible and I'm not alone
nato members send military equipment en masse to ukraine to be used against russian forces, including tanks, himars and aerial reconnaissance. do you honestly believe that these were only operated by ethnic ukranian soldiers. who were all of a sudden capable of operating them effectively? do you believe that nato members did not supply personnel, intel and at least partial access to military assets like satellites to the ukrainians along with "cold war leftovers"? i don't buy it. vatnigs knew this, which is why they always talk about mercenaries and similar nonsense - to avoid acknowledging overtly that they and nato are already fighting, with all the military and political consequences. now they copied this by "accidentally" downing a reaper drone, and the us can't openly say "ivan shot down our drone" because then they'd have to formally aknowledge hostilities with the russians with all that entails.
wrong reply, meant for
>nato members send military equipment en masse to ukraine to be used against russian forces, including tanks, himars and aerial reconnaissance. do you honestly believe that these were only operated by ethnic ukranian soldiers
Yup. Russia lost to Ukraine. Stop leaking cope.
yes
>all of a sudden
nothing sudden about it
>i don't buy it
incredulity is not an argument
>nothing sudden
which would prove russian propaganda about they west arming ukraine even before the invasion at least partially right, no?
>incredulity is not an argument

>damning evidence! joe obama can't hide it anymore!
>there's now a Su-27 with propeller wounds like some kind of dumb sea creature that got too close to a boat

FAKE AND GAY
it took ruskis long enough to shotdown this drone. they have been flying there since last year.
this attack has been ordered by chechen strongman, kadirov, cia says.
guys USA is responding...they are deeply concerned
why the fuck are there us drones in the plack sea isnt us like thousands of km from there?
Many US bases in Turkey
turkey aka nato's southern flank is black sea country, anon. also theres bulgaria, romania.
They fly over from Italy and then do laps all day, they have extremely long range
>we can collide with or pass oil on your aircraft and crash it
>but if you touch one of ours directly it will be war
This is gonna be the official russian stance
And it'll be the enforced stance because the west is gutless.
Anon, the entire point of drones is that they can be employed risk free. They exist to be not given a fuck about
This calls for a MODERATE response.
I agree. I personally recommend a measured use of force, wherein nuclear weapons are only used in moderation. 100 or so warheads each should cover moscow and st petersburg with a liberal but not excessive peppering of radiation.
Russians can't comprehend the totality of our power. We have more pallets than ever.
What's funny is vatniks having nothing to celebrate but crashing into an unmanned drone. Where's the winter offensive?
>Takes out a recon drone for seemingly no reason
Hate to sound like a concern troll, but are they trying to do something without us knowing about it? I highly doubt this was an accident given these drones have been flying for a year without incident.
What are they up to?
actually could've been just that russian pilot trying to personally stir some shit, without any great plan to enact.
the real question is why did he have enough time to troll the drone without any deterrence appearing? i dunno, an f16 launching from turkey or something?
Sounds like the russians were trying to do everything in the power to scare the drone off without actually shooting it down and cocked up. Just because this is the first one to go down, does not mean russia has not done things like this before
Probably just for a cheap propaganda win. They know NATO isn't going to escalate over a Reaper drone and a single Reaper is only a drop in the bucket compared to the total surveillance assets NATO has flying over the Black Sea.
Watch US cuck out and send 'deeply concerned' messages instead of 'IT'S FUCKING ON'. This is why the UK has Typhoon escorts now after Russia did this to their spy shit last year.
You better hope they don't actually get mad
I want them to get mad! We're the US god dammit, our military as value!
Of course they won't chimp out over this, they aren't undisciplined retards like Russia are. And UK jets are constantly scrambled by Russia encroaching on their airspace.
>he thinks Russians are responsible for this
retard. They can barely propagandize themselves or get enough ammo for this war and you think they can restructure all of American culture into woke gender war bullshit
>They can barely propagandize themselves
t moron who knows nothing of russia
Yep, Russians as a whole are constantly on the edge of losing all ambition for this war. Their propaganda is absolute shit internally and externally. Why do you think they so desperately need a win at Bakhmut? Because the public is just about ready to drop this war altogether if Russia can’t make any gains
you're a retard
oh no some gay on PrepHole called me a retard
Navalny is on the verge of coming to power amid a resurgence of pro democracy activism in Russia after shocking revelations about the rift between Wagner and the MOD. These stories surfaced through multiple confirmed channels just in the nick of time to stem the spread of malign influence in the information space.
>Navalny is on the verge of coming to power
Putin would sooner initiate a full-scale nuclear exchange with NATO than give up his power and the only people in a position to stop him would rather plunge Russia into a Second Civil War than give up their power.
I'd hate to say this, but A LOT of people are going to have to die before Russia is ready for Navalny and democracy.

the mobster dictatorship has never been as popular. This is not monkes war, this is the russians war who want their mighty "empire" back. Chopping it out with a hatchet if they have to. "if they fear us they respect us" is their literal motto and oh boy do they get high off being unhinged paranoid schizophrenics.
This is going to flare up into a regional war this decade. Belarus occupied without resistance and war raging from estonia to Poland to ukraine
>obsessed with "nafo"
>has moron dick saved on his PC
Welp, send up the next one, but this time armed.
unironically just have an F-35 or F-22 flying a hundred km away w/o their transponders on and just record the next pair of russian jets fucking around with the next MQ-9 to essentially send the message "we could've taken you down and you wouldnt know it til you hit the ocean"
Or you know just fucking shoot the guys down and then deny deny deny.
>"Are you sure it wasn't just spontaneous catastrophic engine failure :^)"
I'm pretty sure this was the exact thing they did in Syria when the RuAF started harassing the SDF and Kurd forces.
The US did that with Iran and Syria both, its probably what will happen once again.
If by record, you mean radar lock out of fucking nowhere, sure. Just sending propaganda stills doesn't have the same spreading power in the RuAF barracks that "I'm only walking here because the Americans had mercy" while downing bottles of vodka does.

Does Article 5 cover drones?
Yes? Of course it does. But Article 5 isn't a 'you immediately attack move your entire force to the attackers' capital'. Military action is literally the 'up to' part of the treaty. Article 5 and NATO is about maintaining security in the North Atlantic Area (which hilariously means China could attack Pacific side USA and it couldn't get NATO involved technically). That can mean more sanctions, moving AA to borders, boosting troop numbers or thoughts and prayers.
So while the USA could go 'Yeah that's it, Article 5, we're going fully in boys' it wouldn't fly.
Look man, I just want to see F-22s and F-35s blast MiGs out of the sky in dogfights that put Top Fun Mad Dick to shame.
Don't we all. If NATO was involved this shit would be over in 6 months.
>dogfights
As much as I want to see it happen as well, we both know air-to-air engagements is going to be a slaughter with Russian aircraft getting picked off before they even have a chance to identify threats.
>which hilariously means China could attack Pacific side USA and it couldn't get NATO involved technically
The North American continent is covered but I think Hawaii isn't.
>For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:
>on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France 2, on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer;
>on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer.
Yeah that's what I meant (plus Guam and Marshall Islands etc). But I could expect Germany and France to argue that it is the Pacific.
Here i thought the US only used the RQ-4 for ISR, what ISR capabilities does a reaper drone have? Are russian comms so easy to intercept?
MQ-9s are actually fairly capable ISR platforms as well, they just lack the endurance and high altitude performance RQ-4s are capable of.

With this most recent achievement, fate has in a single stroke, marked the decline of the east and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the American eagle, which promises to firmly stand in sharp contrast to the historically bloody ascent of eastern powers and the cruel subjugation it brought to the humbler nations of the world. With the blessings of American quantum direct-current electricity, quantum aircraft carriers and quantum enhanced railguns will be the instruments with which America affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers the non-eastern world a different option; an humanist alternative to the depredations of Eastern leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multilateralism.
fucked that one up, retard
What sir, may I ask your meaning is? In a single ruthless swoop of precision and accuracy, unrivaled camaraderie and unparalleled bravery, America took down the gloating tyranny of the Chinese balloon.
Yet again, the noble steward of the good earth that is America proudly rises into the sun, ready to face head on the modern challenges afflicting the contemporary world.

And who funded the Frankfurt School you idiot?
So let me get this straight: American weapons are killing Russian soldiers, armour and planes by the dozen for over a year now, and the best way to retaliate that the Russians could come up is by ramming down a drone (ramming as opposed to shooting so that they can always claim that is was an ‘accident’ and not deliberate {please don’t slap}). And this is a propaganda victory how?
By the way, the funny thing is that Ukraine was not given this UAV because of secret technologies, but now they themselves “gave” the same technologies to the Russians.
They were afraid that the Ukrainians would lose this drone and, as a result, they themselves lost it, as they themselves say in the “collision”, that is, in the most stupid situation, and now, the Russians, which very actively wants to join the production of UAVs, will get it from the sea

Russia capturing an MQ-9 in 2023 is roughly equivalent to the Soviets capturing an F-86 in 1970.
the reason people are surprised is because the Reaper is 22 year tech, which in itself is built off of the MQ-1, which is 30 years old, old enough to have been used against the Serbs.
so why go after the MQ-9 as opposed to the actual ISR platform, RQ-4.
>but now they themselves “gave” the same technologies to the Russians.

>violated the boundaries of the area of the temporary regime of airspace use established for the purpose of the Special Military Operation
The Russians know they don't have authority over international air space, right?
Brainlet question here: I think there's about nine countries total who have unambiguously recognized Crimea's annexation to the RF. So if a NATO country flies over the airspace of the Crimean peninsula and gets attacked by anything Russian, how does international law deal with that? Can the country flying over state that they cleared the flight with the Ukranian government as the legitimate owner of that airspace in the ICCJ or something?
If the UN doesn't recognize Crimea as Russian, they're not going to punish someone flying over what they consider to be Ukraine without Russian permission.
Russia does not recognise the ICCJ because they are investigating Russian warcrimes. No one recognises Russias annexation that matters a fuck.

Not posting guns for you vatmoron cunt never have never will. The only response to a vatmoron making any demand has always been 'get fucked'
Not a vatnik, if you can read, and you don’t own guns anyways.
Please see your way back to 4chan you retard.
Fuck off and die you sad cunt.
Why are you seething so hard? 4chancels really are the easiest to make seethe.
yeah not 4chan and not posting guns for vatmorons. Wish I lived in a world where I could post body parts of vatmoron fanboys but we're getting there hopefully real soon.
>have a nice day EUROTRASH WAR TOURIST
Keking at the seething vatmoron visitors.
>manlet supporting russia because he thinks that's a great way to lash out at the society that bullies him
I feel attacked for my teenage self.
It's not about the quality of the jpg compression or even the talent. It's the shitty way overused format
>5'10
oh no no no
Aight I'll give you this one, that's one of the better wojak edits I've seen especially considering the speed.
But it's still a wojak edit and you need to be gassed.
PrepHole has the most based jannie of all the boards. By far.
PrepHole has the second worst moderation team, only bested by PrepHole.
You should fuck off then because I think PrepHoles mods are fucking based.
>t. janny
low energy plebbitors
jannies with gonads removed
crying crossdressers
Do you trannies love guns cause they're the most painless way out?
Sweep it up janjan
you seem upset
>getting his shit pushed in fighting his tiny poor neighbor
>brings a flag of another country with himself to a warzone just so he can take pics of stepping on it
Delicious seethe.
We should send some more weapons.
>deleted for shitposting? must be the cia
>all these cartoon caricatures of "NO YOU'RE REALLY THE UGLY ONE!!!!"
Again, fucking explain what you get out of saving chud wojaks to your PC.
Why are the vatmorons having a nervous breakdown now?
Because they know they're about to get their shit pushed in harder than a new conscript.
Good stuff.
>the cia are deleting my posts and they're the ones who are schizophrenic, not me
Is this why vatmorons are going made today?
"Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto on Monday accused the Russian paramilitary group Wagner of promoting illegal migration to Europe to punish European countries supporting Ukraine.
“The exponential increase in the migration phenomenon from African shores is also, to a significant extent, part of a clear strategy of hybrid warfare that the Wagner group (…) is implementing using its significant weight in several African countries,” the minister said in a statement.
“Just as the EU, NATO and the West have realised that cyber attacks are part of the global confrontation that the war in Ukraine has opened up, they should now understand that the front in southern Europe is becoming more dangerous every day,” he continued.
“Uncontrolled and continuous immigration (…) is becoming a means to hit the most exposed countries, first and foremost Italy, and their geostrategic choices,” he warned."
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Monday, on the sidelines of a trip to Israel, that he was concerned “because many migrants are coming from areas controlled by the Wagner group.”
Anon, I know you didn't just post your full name and address on a mongolian basket weaving forum in a fit of rage, right?
>I never complained about fed's deleting my posts.
sktzo vatmoron fodder.
why are you shilling for the US's enemy and then, at the same time, talking about the constitution, you stupid zoomer?
>why are you shilling for the US's enemy and then, at the same time, talking about the constitution, you stupid zoomer?
this
What I like is the several replies in less than a second but am gonna reply to all anyway.
How's pointing out Fed schizophrenia shilling for the enemy?
Methinks you're projecting buddy
If you say so.
>people talking to me? must be the cia
>Mass reply
>Black powder pistol
What's it like being a retarded felon?
>deleted for shitposting? must be the cia
>weeks before the beginning of special operation: Russians know that USA/NATO are feeding intel to UA
>over a year into 2 week special operation: Russia shoots down an American drone
Very impressive, this will surely turn the tides
>The Russian Defense Ministry denied coming into contact with the drone in a statement
Ah, so they did shoot it down. Can't wait for the sun to come up at midnight in Russia.
Genuinely can't believe that vatmorons are holding this up as a win. You lost Kherson, Bakhmut still hasn't fallen Kyiv is still Ukranian but *this* is the thing that shows Russian competence.
