We've sunk stuff more recently than that. That "carrier" is a cargo ship with a ramp on it. Or it was.

This is nothing new. A good number of the Japanese aircraft carriers that we put on the bottom of the Pacific began their lives as battle cruisers, freighters, or similar vessels.

Do fighter pilots punch out when the threat warning starts beeping
or wait until there is damage to the aircraft?
that must be an insane 2 seconds.

Actual damage.

The patriot system is very very good at shooting down jets. Idk if anyone remembers the F15E that got shot down in Iraq in 03. I believe the pilots were rescued amongst the jessica lynch group. Anyways, they were shot down by a patriot system too.

The IDF publishes a video showing an Israeli Air Force fighter jet pilot evading an Iranian air defense missile during operations over Iran.

"There's another launch, heading above the clouds," the pilot can be heard saying over the radio in the video.

Yikes. that must take nerves of steel as you see an incoming missile towards your aircraft!
that female fighter pilot is one of just a handful of living aircrew that have successfully ejected in combat.
I mean there can't be that many Vietnam pilots still around who ejected.

Is it just me, or is it crazy that the pilot didn't have his sidearm at the ready?
I guess he is not expecting the enemy to roll up?
There is some uncanny valley happening in that one for me. I think it's fair to question if it's a real video or not.

I would not want to play the numbers game if I was the UAE or others. Prayers the US or others (how about some European assistance!) can assist or that Iran depletes/loses capabilities to launch much at all over the next few days.

I won’t go over the scale of the strikes on Iranian infrastructure — you can read about that yourselves. I will only note that Israeli and U.S. air forces fully control Iranian airspace, and in that sense the war increasingly… pic.twitter.com/h5noGLrPhD

What an absolute boss this pilot is.
They just ejected out of a struck fighter jet landing behind enemy lines (or not on American soil) and they're just casually standing there smiling. If I even made it to the ground alive I'd be balled up in the fetal position with my sidearm ready to empty the mag at anyone approaching me.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!
