Other things:

F-5 with M39 revolver cannon. Could be the modified F-5 Iran claims as an indigenous fighter.

SU-24. Not 100% on the ordnance.

Different angle:

Some very short range but big boom rocket. Not sure if this is a combat shot or a test on empty buildings.

Handheld rockets

This is not an explosion or rocket attack, but it is a big rubber dildo strapped into a paint-shaker.

They can fly incredibly slowly, yes. To the point of pacing tractor trailer traffic along a highway, if you're confident enough in your pilot to fly that low.

Was that the lady that said something along the lines of "these are the bullets I was shot with"?

Basically. What's always bugged me about it isn't that obviously they aren't, but in some circles it was used as some kind of damning evidence that civilian casualties are made up. She may well believe they are if her house got shot up and she found ejected or dropped rounds on the ground.

There are so many different factors and influences going into racial and gender makeup of the military that any kind of far-reaching analysis that isn't a damned peer-reviewed journal is probably going to have a healthy dose of oversimplified hot takes.

Here are some quick facts devoid of the "why"

The Army is the most racially diverse, except in E1-E4 range. Navy has that at drat near half minorities, but their numbers drop off very fast as you move up the ranks. The Army has the most minority officers across all grades.

The Air Force is the least racially diverse. (The Air Force skews officer-heavy compared to other branches, and officers skew white.)

Diversity in the enlisted forces hasn't seen a radical change in the last 20 years, but minority officers have decidedly grown in ratio and stuck around from 1995 to now.

Marines and Navy are less likely to be married. Across the force, women are less likely to be married than men. The Air Force leads the way in dual-military marriages, as well as in enlisted divorces.

Marines are a very white, male branch.

This has some neat stuff to pick through: http://download.militaryonesource.mil/12038/MOS/Reports/2014-Demographics-Report.pdf
