They actually celebrated this in lran with a giant multi-story banner hung on the side of a building. An F18 sinking underwater with a giant pizza-slice looking dagger pointing at it. (the F18 also had a tongue and X eye, to indicate if was a kill 😵) It's absolutely silly as hell... They only indirectly took out that plane. It's not like their ordinance actually hit the carrier and that did the plane in. It'd be interesting to know if that missile even came anywhere near the carrier in the end. [edit: 🤦‍♂️ fixed an egregious error, I put F16 twice, but meant F18!]

I feel like Battlestar Galactica S1's first episode titled "33", is a great analog to this. (note: this isn't the first episode of the series, as the mini-series pilot episodes came before it) Synopsis: _"Having fled the besieged Ragnar Anchorage, the convoy of refugee spaceships is relentlessly pursued and attacked by Cylons. The colonial fleet must execute a faster-than-light (FTL) jump every 33 minutes to escape the Cylons, who consistently arrive at the new jump coordinates approximately 33 minutes later. After over 130 hours and 237 jumps, the fleet's crew and passengers, particularly those aboard Galactica, have been operating without sleep while facing the strain of nearly constant military action." After every jump, all their pilots and "ground" crew are scrambling to prepare the Vipers (single seat fighters) and Raptors (2-3 crewed bombers/EW) to launch again every 33 minutes. They're usually not engaging into a huge battle every time, but are out there to protect the flotilla as the enemies (Cylons) deploy from their own fighters from their battleship-carriers. All the while the pilots are using stims to keep them sharp, which is also screwing with their judgement due to no sleep. So whilst I don't think our men and women are living like that, it might actually be just as stress inducing because there ISN'T a like-clockwork pattern to the attacks. So our navy is basically always on pins and needles, not knowing when the next all hands on deck will occur... I'm glad no one has been seriously hurt, unlike on BSG where they didn't leave unscathed. 🫡 to our men and women... ❤️🤍💙

I just commented how Battlestar Galactica season 1 episode 1 might help in that regard, as the pilots and crews get attacked every 33 minutes and need to "jump" (faster-than-light travel) to a new location... and they've been doing that for some 237 jumps. (237 x 33mins = 130hrs without sleep)

@shinji1264 Current "AI" isn't actually AI. Currently they're mostly either Machine Learning or Large Language Models. Both of which can and will make mistakes. An LLM chatbot can very well complain and seek sympathy, depending on how it's trained and designed (look at Neuro-sama, who is genuinely hilarious and a savage roast master). Maybe in the next 50 years we'll have the Artificial General Intelligence you're talking about, but until then you'll have to make do with flesh and blood humans. "Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to the hypothetical intelligence of a machine that possesses the ability to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can. It is a type of artificial intelligence that aims to mimic the cognitive abilities of the human brain."

@Narco42 Exactly. They're taking way too much credit for this. My ending sentiment was actually not meant in the way it was received, and that's my fault. What I was trying to say was whether they missile got close enough for the "bad guys" to have a legitimate basis to claim a victory. Didn't mean it in the case of our navy using this to change how they operate, but it did sound that way so I apologize for wording it poorly! 😅

@maleprincess62 I fixed my huge error. It is indeed an F18 NOT an F16! (their banner is correct) Thanks.

@GEOPOLITICS47 Yea... No. lmao You are free to believe that if you want, but we'd have no reason to lie about that. It's much more embarrassing to have had THIS happen, than if it really had been damaged. Plus, if it was damaged they wouldn't have scuttled the plane AND the tug... They would keep and repair it, or if too badly damaged, salvage it for parts.
