@AMK_Mapping_@EUSrbin In this sense, you can imagine the Su-57 doing close loops as a potential way of determining how close it could operate to Ukrainian AD. Edge closer, until a missile is fired at you, then defend, survive the missile and note the distance and even position of the launcher.
@AMK_Mapping_@EUSrbin Distance isn't the only factor here though. SAMs are better against high altitude targets, especially those that remain elevated. Strike aircraft often fly low and only go high to lob a bomb, but fighter aircraft are often up top to gain range and radar advantage.
Combat footage so legendary it could've been a socialist realist painting.

@Dudziklatoww@AMK_Mapping_ The translation may be a bit weird here. Do you mean you can hear a roar like there is an explosion in the distance, or you can hear planes flying?
@akshayanands I also think the bullshit in that post you replied to about not being able to open the door because of an electrical fault is fucking horrifying.
@akshayanands Ha, there's a funny irony in those acronyms both being popular with the American right.
And yeah, Teslas suck. I didn't know they're more likely to burn than ICE cars.
@akshayanands It's not a regular occurrence for either EVs or ICE cars. But cars powered by flamable liquids do burn more than ones powered by batteries.
