The first delivery of F-16 fighter jets from NATO allies has arrived in Ukraine, in a long-awaited move that may boost the war-torn nation’s ability to repel Russian attacks.
In all seriousness: I belive that’s why wargaming was invented. Not for military education, but because actual war is so damn expensive and dangerous which kinda ruins the fun
(Note: Obviously it is not fun. /s if needed.)

They used to offer a mig flight to the “edge of space” where you got to use the afterburners to go up to it’s max altitude 🤤🤤🤤 It was through Russia though, so I guess that’s not happening again for a while.
To be fair, free camping trips with the homies, doing “games of skill” against other groups of campers, getting to use high tech machinery for free, and getting paid for it while you’re at it? It does sound like a ton of fun minus the whole dying/killing part. 😂
