Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Why are anti-ship missiles chasing a plane? You don't belong up there Harpoons. You're supposed to chase ships. Get down from there Harpoons.

So in other words, this photograph is manipulated, with pretty reflections on the jet's body and all?

[–]clarkster 15 points16 points ago

I think he means the missiles have been added to the flares.

[–]disgustedarousement 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oh, so those are flares, released by the aircraft to disturb missiles' targeting systems, with added harpoons :)

[–]ThePsion5 6 points7 points ago

The idea wasn't to confuse the incoming missile but to embarrass it. Being #15 to arrive at a missile party is frowned upon unless you're a MIRV.

Also those are AGM's or Air-to-GROUND missiles ;-)

Looks more like a harpoon anti ship missile to me.

[–]thecatgoesmoo 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Anti-ship, and could be launched from a ship, airplane, or submarine. You are correct though, in that they are not anti-air. They couldn't even catch that plane if they were fired at it.

[–]TurdS 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well they're not AGM-65's; which ones are they? Also, had they been Air-to-Air, those front missiles would have exploded before passing the tail end of the aircraft.

[–]ANatale 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If I'm not mistaken, AGM's are more rounded at the front end. Doesn't mean that they aren't meant for ground attack though...

[–]PharaohJoe 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Im not sure I understand your question, are you saying things with rounded nose =/= AGM? If that is what you are saying then no, the rounded nose holds an EFP shaped charge which is only useful on ground targets.

This is actually a real photo. The pilot with his intence air-combat training, quickly produced a "track and control" missile program using Visual Basic, and deactivated the missiles. Luckily no one was hurt.

Is this shit real?

[–]PhilbertFlange 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd say shopped. It looks like a show plane (blue and red paint job), and most of the rockets nearest the plane have identical exhaust patterns.

Still hilarious though.

[–]thecatgoesmoo 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Definitely not. Not only are those missiles NOT anti-air missiles (they are harpoon anti-ship missiles and can't catch a plane), but you can tell they all have similar exhaust patterns.

Likely someone took a frame of a harpoon being launched off of a ship, because that is when their rockets fire the most, and then shopped it into a pic of the plane. Looks like an Su-27 or Mig-29 but I'm having trouble telling from the angle.
