@specop112 @Notlookingfory1 @sentdefender Steam catapult on a US carrier in the year of our lord 2026...
Railguns on that atrocity of a ship trump showed? all good. EMALS? noooo not allowed.

@PhotoGlow @PhilipMunger @aviationarchive This is a V-2 to you? I can find the exact same video posted above in 2015. This isnt AI.

@GRCapital4 @avpayltd Still not a jet fighter. It was a rocket interceptor.

Other countries had tried the concept before, but they all saw the heavy limitations the type had. They just werent worth it.

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

@GRCapital4 @avpayltd Me-163 wasnt jet powered. It was rocket powered. The fuel it used was extremely volatile, and extremely dangerous to the pilot. Not to mention extremely short flight time and range.

Me-262 engines had a horribly low lifespan. They needed to be completely replaced very often.

@Zoldy95 @SirCesareBorgia @witte_sergei I mean bismarck herself was a pretty... mid battleship, design and actual combat record wise.
Didnt take much to make a ship better than her.

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

@obusek_t @witte_sergei But... it was??? I guess the Mediterranean theatre didnt exist.

@obaobamart @Zeero_st Eh scusa, gli ucraini cosa dovevano fare? Non combattare contro l'invasore? Arrendersi, lasciarsi calpestare sopra dai bastardi che ammazzano e stuprano le donne e i bambini (e pure uomini, pensa tu) ucraini?

@labourmaxxing @andivperedpowr2 People's republics wish they had the aura of the emblem of italy.

@UKHomelessTroll @grok @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows @RoyalAirForce @RoyalNavy @BritishArmy @SercoGroup Nha more like you aren't making sense. Im reading words, thats for sure. They just dont amount to an argument.

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

@UKHomelessTroll @grok @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows @RoyalAirForce @RoyalNavy @BritishArmy @SercoGroup How about you explain your point like a regular human being?
Drones are just like guided munitions and every other advancement before it. Nothing has really changed.

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

@UKHomelessTroll @grok @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows @RoyalAirForce @RoyalNavy @BritishArmy @SercoGroup Im sorry but what are you trying to say?
Drones cant replace everything lol. They cant replace fighters, they cant replace infantry, they cant replace anything.

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

@FullsteamX @defpostmedia @Leonardo_live @LDO_Helicopters @ILA_Berlin Like over a decade more modern.

@UKHomelessTroll @grok @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows @Gemini Im not being paid for shit mate.
Im passionate about the air force of the country i live in, even if its not my home country.

Lord I wish I was paid to talk about the air force lol.

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

@UKHomelessTroll @grok @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows Yet the RAF is not doing too great in terms of recruitment and manpower or material procurement...

This goes for all branches of the british military...

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

@UKHomelessTroll @grok @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows @Gemini I think you missed the part where they fly at around 100m from the ground at the lowest. Thats more than enough time for any particles that may cause asthma to dissipate.

"Sudden heat changes" youre not standing close enough to the exhaust to feel the heat change.

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

@UKHomelessTroll @grok @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows I answered to that, so did grok.
Since you seem keen on reform... isnt a big part of reform bringing back national pride and identity?

So why take away part of that? especially when its such a small part of the RAF budget.

[Thermite @Alt_Er36]

Ok then, lets ask Gemini.

The short answer is **no, it does not cause you to develop asthma**, nor is it a realistic trigger for an asthma attack at the altitudes they fly.

While it is technically true that jet exhaust *contains* these pollutants, the context missing from that post is **dilution and altitude**.

Here is how it actually breaks down:

### What is the "Smoke" Made Of?
The famous red, white, and blue trails from the Red Arrows are not pure jet exhaust; they are intentionally created.

* **The Mixture:**
The trails are made by injecting a simple mixture of 75% diesel oil and 25% colored dye into the hot exhaust of the jet engine (or just diesel for the white smoke).
* **The Ground Reality:** Because the jets are moving incredibly fast—about 30 meters per second—and flying hundreds or thousands of feet in the air, this mixture vaporizes and disperses across a massive atmospheric area. By the time anything reaches the ground, it is reduced to completely microscopic, heavily diluted residue particles that pose no discernible hazard to human health.

Jet Exhaust vs. Everyday Pollution

Jet engines do emit nitrogen dioxide (NO_2) and particulate matter (PM), which are known triggers for people who *already* have asthma. However, proximity is everything.
You are exposed to vastly higher concentrations of these pollutants standing next to a busy city street, a diesel bus, or a construction site than you ever will be standing under a brief, high-altitude military flyover. The emissions from a flyover dissipate rapidly in the upper atmosphere long before they can settle into the air you are breathing at ground level.

The Verdict
The post in **"1781442971932.jpeg"** represents a classic case of an AI or an online commentator taking a broad scientific fact (that jet exhaust contains respiratory irritants) and applying it poorly to a specific scenario without accounting for volume, altitude, or dispersion.
Unless you are an airport ground technician standing directly behind a taxiing jet engine on the runway, watching an airshow from the ground is perfectly safe for your lungs. Enjoy the flyover!

@UKHomelessTroll @grok @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows The conversation is about the red arrows, the smoke and their price and use and all that.
So yes, the hawks are included in the argument since they're part of the red arrows.

@UKHomelessTroll @crofty206 @GBPolitcs @rafredarrows Dude what accounts do you want? "Subjective claims" brother the internet is free, and i took that map from Wikipedia.
