Woodchip posted:"On 25 January 2022, THAAD made its first operational interception, of an incoming medium-range ballistic missile in the UAE.[8]" Thanks, for some reason I thought I was in the idiots thread, and when the tweet text read "attempt to intercept" I was expecting an obvious failure to, well, intercept, but just saw a video of missiles launching. The true context of it being a successful intercept out of frame (boom) makes more sense.

Poseidon did keep the first one, I believe. Smashed into the ocean around 550+ knots and killed the Japanese pilot.

Ward Carroll has the video of what caused the accident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9By_IGjyCE Seems like the F-35 came in too low, hit the fantail or something, and probably skidded along the deck and into the water

If this video is accurate then the Russian concept of base of fire is to shoot at but I guess around the maneuver unit?

Based on this video, I gotta figure 85% of any future casualties will be soldiers having been shot in the back the other 15% will be head injuries due to grenades literally hitting their heads
