Russia shoots down its own Su-35 fighter jet
Russian air defense troops have shot down one of the most advanced fighter jets in frontline service with the Russian Aerospace Forces.
Russian propagandist Ilya Tumanov confirmed on his influential Fighterbomber channel that the Russian Armed Forces has lost another modern Su-35 fighter jet.
Unconfirmed reports say the Su-35 was shot down over Tokmak last night in a friendly-fire incident.
The baseline Su-35 borrows the airframe of the Su-27 fighter but adds a new digital fly-by-wire flight control system, three-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles and uprated AL-41F1S engines pumping out roughly 32,000 pounds of thrust each.
The supersonic fighter jet is armed with a 30-millimeter cannon and has 12 hardpoints and can detect targets at more than 400 kilometers, while its radar can track up to 30 targets simultaneously. The fighter has a range in excess of 3,500 kilometers without refueling.
The heavy class, long-range, multi-role one-seat fighter has a maximum speed of 1,500 mph, similar to the F-22 Raptor and has an operational range of 1,940 nautical miles at high altitude.
Oopsy. I’ve heard that the cost of one of these planes is about $100 million. Source; Defence Blog
Teen Dies After Slamming Into Concrete Beam In Parking Garage While Sticking Head Out Of Sunroof
A Canadian teenager died Thursday afternoon after hitting a concrete beam while standing up in the sunroof of a moving car as it was cruising through a mall’s parking garage in Edmonton, Canada.
The Edmonton Police told TMZ that the car was moving under a ramp when the 18-year-old in question stood up and struck a beam. Paramedics rushed to the scene and quickly moved him to a hospital but the teenager ultimately succumbed to his injuries, the outlet reported.
Police revealed that there were other persons in the car, Global News reported. The 17-year-old driver and a 15-year-old female passenger were uninjured, the outlet noted.
Neither drugs, speeding or alcohol are suspected of causing the fatal collision, Edmonton Police said in a press release.

Drug Dealer Calls Cops To Report A Theft
When working in the field of illegal drug sales, it is never a good idea to contact police to complain that a customer robbed you.
Cops say that Eric Thomas, 33, “called police in reference to a theft” Friday in Largo, a city in the Tampa Bay, Florida area.
Upon being contacted by officers, Thomas “stated he was selling marijuana, and someone stole $10 from him while attempting to sell it.” While reporting the theft, Thomas had 11 baggies of pot in his hands, according to an arrest affidavit.
In the Free State of Florida, it remains illegal to possess marijuana with the intent to sell it.
Thomas “made spontaneous statements about getting robbed while attempting to sell the marijuana,” reported Officer Ricardo Morales, who noted that Thomas was holding more than 40 grams of pot when collared.
During a post-arrest search of Thomas, cops reportedly found two baggies containing cocaine in his wallet.
Pictured above, Thomas was charged with a pair of drug felonies and booked into the county jail, where he remains locked up in lieu of $7000 bond.
In the past year, Thomas has been convicted of marijuana, cocaine, and battery counts. In a pending case, Thomas has been accused of possessing seven Ziploc baggies of marijuana. The pot was discovered when Thomas emptied his pockets into a clear plastic tray at a court security checkpoint.
Thomas–who reportedly admitted the pot was meant for sale–was at the Pinellas County Justice Center last month “to see the clerk of courts,” cops noted.

Canadian air force investigate ‘inappropriate’ CF-18 call sign
The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) says it’s investigating an “inappropriate and unapproved” call sign that was broadcast by a military pilot in the United Kingdom on Monday.
A Canadian researcher posted on social media Monday a screenshot of a flight tracking website that showed a CF-18 Hornet flying in the U.K. with the call sign “D*CK69.” Steffan Watkins said in the post on X, formerly known as Twitter, it seemed the pilot turned on a transponder that broadcasted that call sign, rather than its assigned one.
Watkins shared a link to a flight tracking website which displayed the call sign.
The RCAF spokesperson said the incident is under investigation.
“The Royal Canadian Air Force is aware of an inappropriate and unapproved aircraft identifier that was transmitted electronically by one of our CF-18 Hornets currently deployed to the United Kingdom,” the spokesperson said.
“The incident is under investigation so additional details about what transpired cannot be provided at this time. The RCAF expects all members to display the highest standards of integrity and professionalism, and to exercise good judgment at all times.”
This isn’t the first incident of controversial call signs within the RCAF.
In December 2022, two military officers were handed reprimands and minor suspensions of pay for failing to enforce the military’s orders on preventing and addressing sexual misconduct.
The charges and disciplinary actions stemmed from an informal meeting known as a “call sign review board” on June 22 of that year at one of Canada’s two main fighter jet bases, 4 Wing Cold Lake in Alberta.
Former fighter pilots described such review boards as informal meetings after major training exercises or operations in which pilots assign nicknames, or call signs, to newer members over drinks.
The RCAF that during the meeting in June, several fighter pilots proposed, discussed and assigned an “inappropriate” call sign for another pilot.
The Liberal government has promised reforms in the Canadian military after a scathing report in May 2022 called the armed forces a “broken system” that is a “liability” to the country.

“Married British Airways Pilot Mike Beaton Snorts Coke Off Topless Woman – Then Tries To Fly Packed Holiday Plane To UK”
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24155861/british-airways-pilot-snorts-coke-naked-woman-fly-plane/
“He was going to wing it.”
“Married Mike Beaton, of Devon, boasted of his drug and drink orgy to a stewardess friend, admitting: “I’ve been a very naughty boy.”
If only his last name were Biden, it wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow.
If Hunter only held a commercial pilot’s license…
He is too much of a lazy reprobate to have gone through all the training and flight experience required to be an airline pilot.
Probably… but he can make up for missing Tailhook.
That fellow is so effed up he didn’t even check to make sure all his package enhancing toilet paper was stowed properly so it wouldn’t show. 🙄
“Coke adds life!”
The camper was parked outside their home….🤔
“Couple Scorched When Camper Explodes After Common Mistake Turns Dangerous”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/couple-scorched-when-camper-explodes-after-common-mistake-turns-dangerous
“An Upstate New York couple had a rude awakening when their camper exploded on Monday morning.”
“Barbara and Robert Hamlin, ages 74 and 75, respectively, woke to find their camper filled with the smell of gas. Robert Hamlin suggested his wife had turned on the camper’s stove, which caused the explosion at around 10:54 a.m.”
“The explosion also caused significant damage to the surrounding area, including the outside of the couple’s home where they had parked their camper and Chevy Silverado 2500.”
“Robert Hamlin advised that the couple had left their propane tanks open overnight, which would have flooded the camper with the gas. The camper itself did not survive the explosion, with the back end completely blown open.”
Caption for the picture: “The inside of the Hamlin family’s camper, where wife Barbara, 74, may have turned on the stove and caused the explosion.”
First thought came to mind was “meth lab”.
Yup. Used to be a regular occurrence in the AZ desert. Trailer would explode for no apparent reason. Doesn’t happen much anymore. No, we’re not doing a better job of enforcement and prevention. The cartels are. They hate competition.
Shouldn’t have made Breaking Bad then…
What a gas that was as we used to say back in the day.
Black Labs are usually less hassle.
“Wyoming Ranchers Accused Of Bleaching Penis Shapes Onto Neighbor’s Cows”
https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/09/28/wyoming-ranchers-accused-of-bleaching-penis-shapes-onto-neighbors-cows/
“Accused of bleaching images of male genitalia and other markings onto their neighbor’s cows, a Crook County father and son are now facing felony-level property destruction charges.”
“Two criminal complaints filed last month in the Sundance Circuit Court allege that Patrick Sean Carroll, who is 66 this year, and his son Tucker Kye Carroll, who is 34 this year, funneled 189 heifers and six bulls into a chute and bleach-dyed them to get a neighbor’s attention after three years of having the cattle cross onto their land.”
“Some of the heifers had penis shapes bleached onto their bodies.”
Don’t like markings on YOUR cattle, then keep them off MY land. Sounds so simple, even a Biden could do it.
But a Biden wouldn’t do it unless 10% went to the big guy.

ADS-B Exchange shows some pretty cool call signs on most
military a/c. that fit the mission but even some our own are a
bit questionable.
Here’s a non-comprehensive list. https://henney.com/chm/callsign.htm
I personally like the ANG units that go by some form of the state university’s mascot like “Gofer” for MN, “Badger” for WI, and “Hawkeye” for IA.
Ok dickweeds, how many of you looked for “Ghostrider”?
Negative, the pattern was full
Looks like the Ivans got a little too frisky while playski with live ammo. popping up out of a sunroof while in a parking garage? HELLO Mr. Darwin! The drug dealer calling the Po-po for getting ripped off is about as intelligent as those who take their drugs to the Police to have it checked for purity and an “Improper Call Sign? Holy sheep shit on a burnt stick, just how pisspants candyassed lollipop-up-the-ass “sensitive’ is the Military supposed to be these days?

“standing up in the sunroof of a moving car”
Saw a pickup the other day with a ladder poking thru the sunroof.
I wonder how that ride worked out.
