Just keeping it warm bombs get cranky when they’re cold

Gotta tuck the baby in to keep them from waking up cranky from their nap…

yea, this is weird.

Even if you say “there are reasons to hide the type of bomb”, it’s still clearly discernible what type of bomb it is to any military enthusiast. So like, apparently they cared enough to cover up the logo on the side, but still felt comfy broadcasting it to hundreds of millions of people.

it’s to spit in the face of people who know better

it’s to say “look at how little effort we need to exert to get everyone on our side. look at how transparent our lies are, yet people still believe us. You should feel demoralized and defeated by this and give up any hopes of changing the world”

I don’t know if this is accurate or not but I read that they’re hiding the serial number because it would indicate which bomb was supposed to have denoted that didn’t.

Could be bs though, I’d assume Russia knows if they hit a target or not.

It’s bullshit. We can tell where things didn’t explode by flying a fucking drone over a city. Fucking Americans…

Seems like a pretty obvious explanation to me. Why give an enemy more information than you have to?

also the russians can probably recognise their own bombs

Yeah but just a Russian bomb in a field would give them less information than a bomb with a serial number that might be linked to a specific target that could end up getting bombed again. I have no idea if that would actually make a difference or not or if that’s the actual reason they covered the bomb with a cloth.
