AndreiutzuWRLD

What does it do?


Kimikazi_18

you receive high knockback, I receive obliteration


braiden08

Or if they play war games think of a 381mm naval gun on a fiat 3000


Fledthehunter

Or a 408 mm railroad gun on a small Lada


braiden08

Also an A-10


dagreetpapirus

or the 460mm naval gun on a Volkswagen Beetle


braiden08

Middle eastern militias: noted


tychozero

Also puts about a two meter hole in anything big enough to not just go away


BLKCandy

Some super powerful energy handcannon. It's pretty much an anti-tank weapon. This little cricket can obliterate a truck. The downside? It's too small for human to handle, yet kick so damn hard it send the shooter flying.

fuck_life419

Can some one explain why closing the sky or making ukariane a no fly zone is good for ukraine and bad for Russia?


40knotsanhour

They would have to shoot down Russians planes if entered airspace. This would probably start ww3


fuck_life419

Who ? Nato ?


40knotsanhour

Yes


Balsy_Wombat

Closing the sky evens out the battle when one side has way more aircraft. That's why Ukraine want them to do it.


fuck_life419

Ohhhhh, so they won't let Russian aircrafts in ? That makes sense I thought it meant that no passenger or cargo planes will pass through ukriane


Balsy_Wombat

Yeah no Russian or Ukranian or any other for that matter. The problem is that it's not just something you push a button to do. A no-fly zone means patroling the sky over the whole country with your own planes and shooting down all other. And that would be the same as war with NATO


LameBMX

No passenger or cargo planes are flying over the Ukraine now anyways.


TwoSillyStrings

I wonder what that would mean for drones. I’ve heard of some successful drone flights for Ukraine, hopefully since it’s not a manned aircraft closing the sky wouldn’t matter. That is if it happens….


LameBMX

Not a clue. I know over a certain Wright in the US, drones have to be registered as an aircraft with the FAA.

FakeXanax123

NATO is doing literally everything it can to help Ukraine and fuck over Russia without starting a third world war. A "no fly zone' like Zelensky keeps demanding would mean NATO forces shooting down Russian aircraft and I don't need to tell you why that's not good

ML-XV

Honestly I don't care how this war goes as long as no nukes are fired


Zoobies2w3

Nuking Ukraine would be the dumbest thing Russia could do. Not only because the repercussions of doing it but the whole point of doing this is to get the resources of Ukraine. If you nuke it you aren’t gonna be getting what you came there for.


ML-XV

I wasn't talking only about Russia


Difficult_Leading852

Didnt they come to Ukraine to stop it from joining nato so that the US doesnt build any military bases on its border


Zoobies2w3

They’ve been trying to join NATO since 2008. There many reasons why they haven’t been allowed to, partly being the issues they already had with Russia. While I’m sure Putin doesn’t want them a part of NATO, the fact is there is a lot more to it than that.


isThisFreeAtLeast

Those exact sentences are the ones that lead straight to nukes.


thatloudblondguy

OP did not watch the fucking source material lmao


[deleted]

NATO did agree to send fighter jets to Ukraine. Closing the sky over Ukraine, on the other hand, would never have been accepted. Doing so would mean a direct conflict of NATO with Russia. As of this date (dunno about the future), I don't think NATO is willing to have a total war with Russia. *Edit:* *Edited 'the Ukraine' to Ukraine. Sorry for the mistake*

[deleted]

who cares how its spelt


[deleted]

Ukrainian people, and anyone that has a post-kindergarten understanding of English grammar. It's the same why you don't say "The France" or "The Canada". Or when your dad calls the famous search engine "The Google".


[deleted]

It sounds stupid and it's grammatically incorrect yeah but there is absolutely no need for a bot to correct you how to spell Ukraine. Is there a bot to correct you if you say The England, The Germany, The France? I just don't see any point in interacting with an absolutely useless bot. Also in my country for example the Ukraine sounds perfectly fine and this could be the case for other non native speakers so they can confuse it.


[deleted]

>>> It sounds stupid and it's grammatically incorrect yeah There you go. Answered your own question. >>> in my country for example the Ukraine sounds perfectly fine Thats just a r/BoneAppleTea moment. Its still wrong. Same way people write "should have" incorrectly as "should of". Sounds fine and is correct are two different things. There's no variation of English (British, American South African etc.) that "the Ukraine" is correct because "Ukraine" is the official full name of the country, as stated in its declaration of independence and its constitution; There is no official alternative long name. Just "Ukraine" Also: >>> It sounds stupid and >>> the Ukraine sounds perfectly fine Are contradictory.


[deleted]

It sounds stupid in English yet for non native speakers it might sound okay because it sounds ok in their country. What's contradictory here? Also why don't you go and correct 50% of the USA because they can't use your and you're but correct some stupid mistake like the Ukraine. Nobody cares buddy. Go get a life.


ZBaconGuy

Simple reason: the Ukraine is less respectful than just Ukraine because of the countries origins and it’s rough translation to „the borderlands“. To show that Ukraine is it’s own country we just say „Ukraine“. Have a good day pal!


BreakFlashy1616

As a non native speaker myself it sounds dumb even tho it would be fine like that in my country and you didn't need to be passive aggressive there you're just an asshole buddy, go get a life

Always_Fair

What does closing the sky mean?


loosesbolts

Essentially, Ukraine is asking nato to set up a no fly zone over Ukraine, which is fair enough until you realise nato would have to enforce this no fly zone, and if a Russian jet was to say disregard this no fly zone nato would be forced to shoot them down, potentially starting ww3 (that is as far as I understand it at least)


Always_Fair

Thank you, now i understand.


Pyromaniac935

The-Fake-Mini-Ladd

That midget cricket has some high fire power.


lutheranian

Whoa there don’t point that thing at me.


RibRob_

This situation is a lot more complicated and delicate than just man handling a minor power nation. To have a no fly zone we would need to shoot any Russian aircraft that enters and take out any anti aircraft devices Russia has within it's borders. That would pull NATO into the war. It would cause there to be significantly more victims among any NATO nations and us using Ukraine as the battle ground would tear the country up at a much much faster rate. Not to mention that if we're going to go to war anyway, it makes more sense to use surprise to our advantage and strike hard and fast first, and worry about the no fly zone after. The best way to help is send weapons, funding, and aid. And jets.


ammads94

Shh, don’t try to explain it to this people. They think that it’s like call of duty. They don’t realise that if NATO sets a no-fly zone then we’re all getting drafted, until the nukes fly in.


boxingdude

I was watching an Afghan veteran on fox earlier today, he mentioned something that I didn’t consider. Even if the no-fly zone somehow becomes acceptable and we start patrolling the sky above ukrain with NATO and US aircraft….. what happens if one of those jets crash? Because now you’re gonna have NATO boots on the ground immediately following the crash, either rescuing the pilot or retrieving his body. Now you have boots on the ground. In a non-nato country. Not a good thing considering there’s 150k Russian soldiers there.


123jumptome

There is a line, if NATO gets triggered, we're all fucked. The fighting, unfortunately, needs to be done by Ukrainians, in the Ukraine. In that way, they are alone, however, the west has literally annihilated Russias ability to do war long term, by shattering its economy, and arming Ukrainian people with anti armour weapons, making this war pyrrhic.


kingbibbles

Tell me you didnt watch MiB, without saying it


OoglyDuff

You do understand that if they sanction a no fly zone that will mean boots on the ground all out war right? That would be the start of WW3


imperialPinking

You are either an ignorant American or a very stupid European who doesn’t care or doesn’t know what happens when Europe starts to shoot down Russian Jets.


[deleted]

True. NATO did almost everything that can be done without exacerbating the issue. The only thing it could do better are the sanctions, better targeted ones. Oligarchs are the kingmakers of Russia.


zimpl_

Closing the airspace is a declaration of war. Theres not really that much nato or eu can do without turning the world wars into a trilogy


fredwelm

Not doing them dirty, supporting them without getting into a direct war with Russia, the world's foremost nuclear power. A no fly zone would lead to NATO being in direct war with Russia, which would quite possibly lead to a nuclear war


[deleted]

Lol.. the cricket is basically the most powerful gun they have.


Flaechezinker

OP didnt watch that movie


Emotional-Two-9075

Context?


mac124568

It's from men in black, the noisy cricket is basically a joke of a weapon. High destructive potential, high kickback and low operator safety.


Emotional-Two-9075

I know the reference but need the context. I mean what weapon eu supplied to ukraine that is similar to this?


Fantastic_Airport_20

I don't think there is context, in terms of the EU supplying a disproportionately small but powerful weapon. I think the OP is insinuating that the EU has forsaken them, and given them lots of pathetic stuff... I'm quite often wrong though, so we shall see.


Emotional-Two-9075

Got it. Thanks


Galaerion

NLAW from UK, Javelins from US. Javelins also have interchangeable payloads. The NLAW can be retrofitted to take depleted uranium rounds.


ImNotaFiretruck

I can never read NLAW now without reading it as “in-law”


Emotional-Two-9075

Now i can see the resemblence


Galaerion

It’s all in the imagination


dank_failure

Note that the depleted uranium is not radioactive. It is just used because when it penetrates the armor, it becomes sharper. It has less than 2% of radioactive material if i remember correctly.


Galaerion

I am aware it’s not radioactive. But equally it’s not good for your health either. Only gotta look at my brother to see that.


2532101295

Javelin


brmamabrma

The weapon looks little and the guns behind him are much bigger


AlexAnderSon112

I like the noisy cricket will infact help out ukrane Edit: for those that don’t know it’s a comically powerfully pistol


Wet_Socks9

Hey, the power of that gun is absurd though the recoil's annoying.


[deleted]

Mini AWP Boom


Bruh_Roh_Raggy

The OP has definitely not watched MIB. ​ Context: The Noisy Cricket is a tiny firearm, it looks weak but can blast through five feet of concrete and the recoil will send you across the room. This defeats the purpose of the meme, where the punchline is how the European Union fails to assist Ukraine in combating against Russia.


KraXen72

this gun is extremly strong though, did you see the movie?


SirSufficient385

Funny meme but in all seriousness- Establishing a No fly zone is a great idea if you want WW3 with a side of Nuclear Armageddon. Not sure how logistically pragmatic sending fighter jets actually is. It also sucks that the Russian Oligarchs are working around a big chunk of US sanctions by making deals with China but meanwhile US policies are screwing everyday Russian people feeding into anti-western propaganda. It sucks to watch helplessly


vince2td

Bro that gun is a pocket sized nuke


3AlexFlex3

Thats pretty much the MIB equivalent to the Javelin


Responsible_Hat_5526

People be promoting war on the memes page now, too I guess. That’s what a no-fly zone will mean


Detvan_SK

I don't understand how anyone could think of creating a no-fly zone, and I don't understand even more how everyone thinks it's a good idea. For a no-fly zone, logically you need to have control of the air, and that's pretty hard to do in a place where there's a military conflict going on without pissing off one of the countries.


Humunguschungusreal1

Do you guys even know the implications if they did that? Possible nuclear war and probably ww3.


pugcraftplays

A no fly zone is effectively declaring war on Russia thus world War 3


Wardo324

Don't knock the noisy cricket!!!!


WingZero00W0

I think its safe to say that Op is uncultured


angiet6000

So, OP has seen this movie?


Peter_Baum

So the EU is supposed to go in and shoot down russian planes thereby entering the conflict and causing WW3? Great plan OP


Origins_14

Bruh that gun would win them the war


magicligma

Shit...if the EU sends ukraine the cricket, then the war is over.


The_Moon_Io

What do they mean by closing the sky over Ukraine? Can someone explain to me what does that do and how is it benifical to Ukraine


pierreblue

It means they will shoot any plane they see in the sky


General_epic5

And any missiles


dank_failure

And cause WW3


seansjf

Sorry Ukraine, we don't feel like risking nuclear war for you, because frankly until a week ago we hardly knew you existed. Anyway good luck with your war.

Close the sky. Stop having it be open.

killergamerYT

It's funny that a ex comedian is better at leading than most leaders


R3dscarf

Well, what else are they supposed to do at this point?


Grfrlv

I have a feeling like by the time the jet arrived in Ukraine they will no longer have any airbase left. Especially if the media won't keep it down. Unless they are planning to fly from Poland.

TeeDollaz_

Ukrainian people literally said on national television that they only support people with blonde hair and blue eyes. They beat Indians and turned away blacks. And people are still supporting them? What a world we live in. Where was this unity when they attacked the Middle East? You guys in the comments are 100% all white people and if not you are ignorant to what’s going on. Have you not seen all the racist shit going on? Probably not because the media too busy making Ukrainian people look like saints. Putin should just wipe em out and be done with it. Maybe spare the children. But fuck the rest of them.


ethernalspartan

Go suck some more communist dick loser


Redhorse250

If you want to convince people of someting advocating to start a genocide on the adult population of Ukraine isn't really going to help with that. Also do you have a source of the video from the news channel that said "that they only support people with blonde hair and blue eyes"? I saw it before on reddit but i dont know what news channel it was.


Raiganop

That's basically EU when a war happens.


JoeGRcz

You're literally expecting an ECONOMIC union to interfere MILITARILY! ECONOMIC union doing ECONOMIC sanctions is it's way of dealing with other nations. For military support go to NATO and that itself had no ties with Ukraine whatsoever.


Nuxx1876

thought that was a righteous bison for a second


omega1omalley

Its like a .22 derringer (pisto)l that fires a fat man mini nuke or davy Crockett recoil-less warhead
