Pilot made an attack helicopter joke and the plane decided to try to be submarine in response.

Vietnam was looking to buy some F-16, only for the US to display incompetence like this.

"Made in the USA" is the new "Made in China"

Made in china back in the day: extremely cheap breaks fast

Made in USA now: extremely expensive, breaks fast

Even worse. At least the old made in China could be repaired. Thanks to new manufacturing methods, everything made today is soldered together.

At least if it's made in modern China it's soldered properly. Nobody in the States remembers how to do that. Hence the pilot pulls a bit too hard and unsticks the Screwless Steering Stick^TM^ and the whole thing goes into nose dive.

That's also the problem with the F-35. So much solder that when it goes into submarine mode it sinks too fast for it to fill up with air.

wouldn't it be amazing if these crashes were caused by some electronic warfare weapon? imagine the neutering effect of not being able to trust your flying death machines anymore..

i often wish there was a way to neutralize the massive threat of the US war machine without a hot war

This Chinese weapon exists and is already being discussed in the US as a threat to national security, it's referred to as 'Chinese garlic'.

I salute my anti-imperialist hero John McCain. He's my favorite North Vietnamese ace.
