Business Insider: Russian embassy threatens US F-35s in cryptic tweet with video of fighter jets being shot down
* The Russian Embassy in the US tweeted a cryptic-yet-hostile message Friday threatening the F-35 stealth fighter and mocking the US Air Force's top officer.
* The tweet told the US to "remember Vietnam" and was accompanied by propaganda footage of Soviet surface-to-air missiles blasting fighter jets out of the sky.
* The tweet was an apparent reply to a recent speech by Air Force chief of staff Gen. David Goldfein, who touted the F-35's ability to penetrate Chinese and Russian defenses.
The Russian Embassy in the US took aim at America's F-35 stealth fighters on Friday in a threatening message apparently tweeted in response to an earlier speech by the chief of staff of the US Air Force.
"'If a Russia... ever was to see an F-35 inside its airspace', we would love to send Chief of Staff of the [US Air Force] Gen. David L. Goldfein 'message with two words' — 'remember Vietnam,'" the tweet read, adding, "'An F-35 will never be alone.'"

WNU Editor: This is not normal for a Russian embassy to tweet out.

Why are they so bitchy about the F-35? I thought it's a trash plane? Or have they changed their minds, now that many armies have bought it and the power seems to lie in the networked system of the F35, even potentially threatening ICBMs during launch phase, while using stealth to go deep into territories? I thought stealth is BS.. but those Russians seem to be very angry about the F35 hee :D
We live in a different age WNU Editor; Tweets are useful now!
However, it's interesting that Russia is all about issuing threats lately. I guess they need some attention.
