Those aren’t targets painted on, they’re munitions. This A-10 shot a cow at enemy combatants.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 27 points 3 months ago

Or he's only got one confirmed kill...

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 20 points 3 months ago

All those bombs and all they killed was one cow? What a waste!

It's from all that milking. Takes a toll after a while, ya know? 😶

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 16 points 3 months ago

Fetchez la vache!

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 66 points 3 months ago

The rest of the marks are bombs... Did he shoot the bombs down? Or did he drop a cow on the enemy? 🤔

[-] Skua@kbin.social 21 points 3 months ago

Well the bombs explode after he drops them, so I think he can quite safely say he has destroyed those bombs

So it's safe to assume the Air National Guard has access to exploding beef. Fantastic.

I think it was just a very resilient cow. But we got him in the end.

They made the commander say "holy cow!"

[-] MCHEVA4EVA@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Damn that's crazy what do they put when they shoot a British solider? A little teapot?

The fact that this has escaped the vast majority of readers so far...

[-] three@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Pedantry is exhausting. A cow is a cow unless there is a need to specify its gender.

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Cow means boy or girl bovine nowadays

[-] nickwitha_k 6 points 3 months ago

That's bull and you know it.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

To be fair, the picture is far from making me certain. But I did look closely before posting the comment and now, and no, that doesn't look like a bull to me

Edit: I decided to finally search for a story behind it

if that's a bull, it has some serious health issuesa close up of a bovine frag picture, that looks pretty much like a cow

[-] nickwitha_k 3 points 3 months ago

I was just being a bit punny :) "bull" being short for "bullshit". I didn't really have an opinion.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

I'm sorry but once mr cow declared jihad and joined the taliban, his days were numbered.

[-] Cipher22@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I assure you, this was added at someone else's behest.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

"Its this or your new callsign is "butcher". Pick."

[-] swab148@startrek.website 5 points 3 months ago

That'd be an awesome callsign! One of my best Rangers in my most recent XCOM 2 runs was called "Butcher", and he absolutely lived up to his name 💪

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Nah butcher would be a kick-ass callsign.

You'd get something like udder or milker.

[-] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

Incoming bovine, deploy cowntermeasures!!

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 5 points 3 months ago

Some high steaks maneuvering.

Somewhere there is a cow with a few dozen A-10 tattoos ... & one paraglider tattoo.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
