Russian Embassy In The U.S. Threatens U.S. F-35s In A Cryptic Tweet


Business Insider: Russian embassy threatens US F-35s in cryptic tweet with video of fighter jets being shot down

* The Russian Embassy in the US tweeted a cryptic-yet-hostile message Friday threatening the F-35 stealth fighter and mocking the US Air Force's top officer.
* The tweet told the US to "remember Vietnam" and was accompanied by propaganda footage of Soviet surface-to-air missiles blasting fighter jets out of the sky.
* The tweet was an apparent reply to a recent speech by Air Force chief of staff Gen. David Goldfein, who touted the F-35's ability to penetrate Chinese and Russian defenses.

The Russian Embassy in the US took aim at America's F-35 stealth fighters on Friday in a threatening message apparently tweeted in response to an earlier speech by the chief of staff of the US Air Force.

"'If a Russia... ever was to see an F-35 inside its airspace', we would love to send Chief of Staff of the [US Air Force] Gen. David L. Goldfein 'message with two words' — 'remember Vietnam,'" the tweet read, adding, "'An F-35 will never be alone.'"
