US Navy F-18 from carrier Carl Vinson crashes off the Philippines

At least our doctori e is "hey if our crumbling 80s military cant take it out, lob a few nukes at it, at least then well have a 50% chance at taking it out" also may i remind you that our carriers dont generate smoke clouds visible from space

Reminder: Russia lost more than a 10th of its carrier air fleet during its time in the Mediterranean.

>>33716765
It's the same thing with F-117, thousands of successful sorties but the only one that shot down due to a freak combination of events is the only mission it ever flew.

Ok no!. You CAN NOT hack the control interface of a manned fighter jet or any other manned aircraft. The Control systems are NON NETWORKED. The absolute best you can do is fuck around with their radio are peek at their telemetry data.

>These are 20-30 year old fighter jets
It would not matter if they were brand spanking new cutting edge gen 7 fighter jets. Control systems are non networked. There is no pathway, electronic or other wise, to hack into. To design one in such a way would be beyond asinine.

I'm not even American but I have no idea why Russians would even think about talking down to any actual western country when your whole country has been reduced to being China's economic slave.

>>33716690

Not OP, but it definitely happened.

https://www.stripes.com/news/pacific/pilot-ejects-safely-at-sea-while-on-approach-to-uss-carl-vinson-1.464722

Still no indication of cause.

Best Korea 1 - USA 0

Good that the pilot was alright.

One aircraft loss sucks but there's another 90 aboard that CV alone.
Not like losing an aircraft is losing 1/12th of the operable air wing (Unlike some other certain navies who use aircraft way too big for their ship and had to dismount all aircraft because the carrier ran out of fuel for them).

Here, have another picture of the smoke plume.

There's a Russian destroyer docked in Manila, Philippines. Wouldn't be surprised if a guy used jammers on the plane for the lulz.

amerifats buttblasted/10

how do they dispose of any confidential stuff when the plane is sitting on the bottom somewhere?

>>33718178
There probably isn't much of an f18 that is confidential anymore. In Pensacola right now for flight school, and during IFS (basically flying a Cessna for a few weeks), I saw an f18 parked at Pensacola Int'l Airport in the private part of the airport, over the weekend. No guards in sight.

>>33718178
I doubt it had anything too secretive on it. It's not like it was carrying a nuke which would need to be retrieve by sub.
The depth of the water should prevent everyone but the most dedicated from getting anything.

>>33718160

Still isn't a mission kill, plane was not on mission.
Undedable plane lives on.

>>33718178
The navy disposes of classified equipment and documents in emergencies by bagging it with lead weights and throwing it into the ocean if it's at least 1,800 meters deep.

Pretty sure they don't need to worry about anything classified surviving on the F/A-18, especially when it suffers a post-ejection crash instead of a manned water landing.

>>33718178
they throw a big rock on it and hope it gets crushed

>>33718059
And that would have caused the plane to crash... how exactly, anon?

>>33718142
>>Operate 20 times as many aircraft carriers as any other single nation
>>crashes still happen less frequently
Fixed that for you.
>>33718239
The airport security is generally enough. Unless you're a pilot or passenger, the FBO will prevent you accessing the aircraft or call the police on unauthorized access.

Pilots aren't retarded, we have normal altimeters. And TACAN/ILS. And Hornets can do 12G instantaneous no prob. I'd be more worried about stalling by going super hot shot in the landing config.

So it was the Varyag who's on dock. It's not farfetched to think that a drunk sailor jammed the F-18 and made it fall. Khibiniy is very impressive.

You do realize that Khibiny is a DECM pod, as in it helps prevent other radars from acquiring it by giving off false returns, it does NOT actively jam other radars.

>>Russian destroyer docked in Manila

Varyag (in Manila harbor) was well over
1650km north of the Celebes Sea, where
the Carl Vinson lost one of her puppers

Slav's are literally orcs.

>>33716640
Americrashes.

reminder

russia managed to lose more than 10% of its naval air wing in less than a month of operations in the mediterranan

>>33726187
They use greenpeace tears to fuel it which leads to soot buildup in them pipes which they regularly flush out of the system with steam. That's what the periodic heavy blooming of smoke seen is, most of the time it doesn't do that

>>33732707
Russians are the orks.

Don't put West Slavs in the same basket.
