As much as I’d like to laugh as any Russian military stupidity, the aircraft in the picture doesn’t appear to have propellers attached, so it’s likely in some form of maintenance. Without the weight of engines and props, any strong wind over the wings is likely to move the plane around quite a lot. Putting tires on the wings disrupts the lift and helps keep the plane from moving around in storms.
Very true. It does very occasionally do some strange things, but then we just either disengage the autopilot, or change modes to something simpler while we try and figure out what went wrong (it’s almost always that we’ve made a mistake).
There are zero objects in this photo that look like guns. I guess AI hasn’t figured out how to do guns yet.
