Екіпаж військового літака США залишив символічне послання у небі біля рашистської бази в Сирії
Екіпаж військового літака США залишив символічне послання у небі біля рашистської бази в Сирії
Американський літак-заправник Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker впродовж майже двох годин перебував у небі на схід від Кіпру, біля рашистської бази Тартус в Сирії.
За цей час, згідно з даними сервісу Flightradar24, траєкторія польоту літака набула характерних обрисів.
Таким чином американці передали рашистам оригінальне послання.
Військовий літак США “намалював” пеніс в небі поблизу російської авіабази…
