    Why did the let the raptor and the felon be so close together? Can’t they turn on their sensors and learn each other down to the last bolt? Or at least measure the rcs from different angles? The raptor anyway.

    Its a line from Top Gun Maverick, where the main character stole an enemy plane and it is approached mid air by a SU57, sowhen they try to communicate he tells his copilot “just smile and wave”

      I was thinking it’s from The Penguins of Madagascar, Skipper says “just smile and wave, boys, smile and wave” practically once per episode.

          The Penguins of Madagascar is much older than Top Gun: Maverick, how could it the show have referenced a movie from the future? Or did the original commenter mean the original Top Gun?

      Had no understand either. Apperently the U.S withdrew their F-35 and F-16 Planes from competing at the Aero India 2025 after it turned out that a russian SU-57 was gonna be showcased there as well. Resulting in some Butt hurt feelings all round.

        Yeah, this article is very unbalanced, shall we say?

        As much as I despise the US right now I am not dumb enough to think that Russian hardware is even remotely close to what the US has. For whatever it’s worth, they unfortunately got the best.
