Probably Russian Sukhois. The Invasion has begun.

The Entire Invasion of Ukraine was a FEINT.

Bintananth better pick up the Family Katana. Slice and dice those invading Paratroopers before they can get their bearings like a Cretan in 1941.
Off-topic, but here we go ...

You don't need to worry about the katana. You need to worry about the wakizashi. If one of those got unsheathed way back when no one was having a good day.

A total creep
within my line of sight for only a few seconds while I was waking up from a nap.
So, a -2 to Initiative on the Spot Check ... FAIL ...
:p
specifically Super Hornets?
They make a different buzzing sound than them ordinary Hornets?

If your vision is that poor, what makes you think those were specifically Super Hornets?
There aren't many aircraft designs capable of going as fast as they were going at low altitude and the USAF Thunderbirds use F-16s which are painted bright white.

You're not making any sense. Literally all military warplanes fly at the same speeds at low altitude, outside of active air defense intercepts when they *may* be authorized to go supersonic.

You literally claimed your vision is poor enough that you could not tell the difference between a grey "normal" fighter jet and a Blue Angel, which is totally inconsistent with being able to recognize the Thunderbirds color scheme.

I am making perfect sense. Military aircraft will not be going low and fast right above me unless the pilots are part of a demonstration or things have gone so horribly wrong that Indianapolis is under attack.

Not even remotely true. Military aircraft fly low and fast all over the place for training exercise purposes. And again, if you can't recognize a Blue Angel *instantly* from the paint scheme, how can you possibly recognize *not* a Thunderbird from the paint scheme? You can either see the paint or you cannot!

Edit: Also, you specifically claimed you could tell it was a Super Hornet because it's exceptionally fast, which is not true; the Super Hornet is *not* exceptionally fast for a military fighter jet, in fact it is rather slow, albeit the difference is moot because all of them are supersonic.

They aren't going to be low and fast over an American city for some random training exercise and they also aren't going to be supersonic at a few hundred feet above American city streets except in an absolute emergency because the shockwaves cause property damage and Congress likes to pinch pennies.

Yes! they used submarine cruiser carrier Moscov to deliver it!

Which they somehow got through The Great Lakes Canals and into Lake Michigan or up the Mississippi River and into the Ohio river without getting noticed.

Yeah, I can rule that possibilty out without even trying.

The US military has an obsession with trying to create a one size fits all solution for things and it rarely ever works out and often causes more problems. This looks like another attempt at creating a plane that can do every role.
Good multi-role equipment often isn't designed to be multi-role. It just sorta gets that way in an "if it's excellent at A, maybe we can use it to do B" manner.

What the hell is that!?

An absurd science fiction concept render with a comical number of moving parts. Being able to slide the ENTIRE REAR OF THE PLANE up and down like that is especially cringe considering that it means the aircraft would have to run its entire engine thrust across load-bearing sliders, and goes from cringe to stupid when you realize that there is literally no actual reason fighters *ever* need to launch missiles upward like that.

This thing literally breaks its own back for a capability that has no functional use at all.

The U.S. military has nothing to do with this, it is an entirely made-up piece of fiction.

The US Military answers to Congress and likes having shiny new toys. Congress tends to be cheap and lazy when it comes to the military and prefers to say "yes" to "fuck it, that'll do" half-assed maybe do-it-all, on a good day, solutions.
