I'm no military expert but this example at the Hanoi B52 museum seems like it was shot down just fine without "modern Soviet equipment.



The Soviet equipment that shot down that B-52 was modern at the time.

For all you horny peeps out there: There's also 170 years old porn on there if you want to take a look :heysexy:

Those photos always remind me of a joke from Mystery Science Theater: "For those of you who never associated sexuality with your great aunt, here it is."

My guess would be that only the last one is from the Ottoman Empire.

Depends on when the photos were taken. I'm assuming they're from when the Ottomans still controlled most of the Balkans and the Middle East.

Only two from the Ottoman Empire and only kinda. The first is a guadeloupean immigrant, then a romanian shepherd (Romania was part of the Ottoman Empire but the photograph is from 1906 which was after Romania gained independence from the Ottoman Empire), the third one is a cossack, the fourth is only identified as "Hindoo Boy", the fifth is from Algeria (but again, after it gained independence from the Ottoman Empire) and the last one is a ruthenian immigrant.

Ah, see I thought the second photo could've been a Cossack and the third was from somewhere in Yugoslavia.

Berlin art academy 1909.

I absolutely understand what's going on in this image and yet I still can't stop thinking of it as a photoshop meme before photoshop existed.

Oh dammit, why didn't I know about this photo a year ago when I was putting together the illustrations for my manuscript?

Edison had been forced out of the electricity business a decade before Topsy was electrocuted and wasn't involved in the decision to zap Topsy to death at all.

The secret to growing a mustache is patience and restraint. And various helpful accessories.

Also also a pandemic when you're trapped indoors with nothing much else to do.
