Trump ad asks people to support the troops. But it uses a picture of Russian jets. [I Got Something To Say]

[b]Freudian slip[/b]
an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings.


[quote]Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies in Moscow, confirmed that the planes are Russian MiG-29s, and also said the soldier on the far right in the ad carries an AK-74 assault rifle.[/quote]

@MasterLee Don't even try to deny it...

[quote]“That’s definitely a MiG-29,” said Pierre Sprey, who helped design both the F-16 and A-10 planes for the U.S. Air Force. “I’m glad to see it’s supporting our troops.”

He noted the angle of the aircraft’s tail, the way the tail is swept far back, and the spacing of the engines, along with the tunnel between them.[/quote]

Look for yourself. F-18's tail is at an angle while Mig-29's is striaght....just like the poster
