      At the time, the Russians probably thought they were so smart. “Stupid Americans spending billions on new fighter planes… Oh wait, shit.”

        I mean, it didn’t actually hurt their own sales and war never broke out so… I guess they probably didn’t care?

        Putin might when his new “Fifth Gen” fighters get vibe checked in the 2030 resource wars.

          As if Putin would last that long. Or Russia. Or Russian fighters.

          By 2030, if they have any wars, they’ll be using paper airplanes, sticks, and rocks. That would be all that’s leftover.

          Who needs fighters when you have drones for on site target acquisition and a distant B52 as a glorified air-to-air box launcher. Fuck having better fighters, I want to see “next gen” russian fighters get taken out by an aircraft that served in WWII. For true noncredibility we should just be fighting every engagement via B52.

      That’s the artist’s main gimmick: portraying things like nation states or military equipment as women, usually sexualized, upon request by paid subscribers.

      The artist only draws women I believe. Or at the very least I can’t remember a single male character

      Not complaining though
