  • u/theGr1m posted this great explanation on reddit: (thought most of you would also appreciate it)

    actually the “fox” codeword doesn’t stand for which missle on the wing you’re firing but rather the type of guidance it has. meaning you wouldn’t get fox 1, fox 2, etc. you’d most likely get fox 3, fox 3, fox 3, etc. maybe they’d carry more types but it’d be odd they’d fire all types one after the other seeing as you’d choose a type based on the target you fire at.

    so as we all know the ukrainians would have the base knowledge to know what to call the missles they fire and they’d not do fox1, fox 2, fox 3. like in the meme.

    for those wondering;

    Fox one

    Indicates launch of a semi-active radar homing missile (such as the AIM-7 Sparrow).

    Fox two

    Indicates launch of an infrared homing missile (such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder).

    Fox three

    Indicates launch of an active radar homing missile (such as the AIM-120 AMRAAM or AIM-54 Phoenix).

    gr1m, if you see this, say “hi” and i will delete, soyou can copy it over.












  • got locked out of my account due to 2fa, booted up another one to explain the references. Going from top to bottom:

    Bayraktar with pontoons: this one is a bit complicated. You see, this doesn’t exist. its a “credible” invention on mine. If people like it i will make a Perun style presentation talking about Bayraktar with pontoons™ and why they are so credible. Patent Pending

    the top helicopter: is a Western model that was used by Ukraine to prove to the west that they are capable of using modern aviation.

    ERA Crate: crate is because my first post had Era armour on it, so it was Removed. so instead of displaying it, I’m using a special technique called “putting it in a box”.

    270mlrs: just a big double Himmars that is tracked.

    Borscht: Tactical typical Ukrainian soup. Afaik People joke on how much soup can fit in something. and about Challenger tanks having equipment for making tea that is also used for Borscht.

    Mint ERA: I wanted to make fun of the mods for not allowing me to have any era on the ship, so i said its a mint chocolate bar.

    Tyres: Ukraine has lots of tractors and i needed to replace the era with something. So they are a decent fit.
