They are adding ERA Panels to the outside of a jet.

ERA tiles, or Explosive Reactive Armor, are small explosive charges sandwiched between two metal plates. They are added to the outside of modern tanks as a means of protection. ERA tiles are designed to detonate when hit by a tank shell or other round.

Essentially, the small explosion they cause can greatly reduce the effectiveness of certain armor penetrating rounds.

All in all, the joke is that they are attaching a bunch of bombs to a plane that, first off, shouldn't be concerned about tank rounds, and secondly, doesn't have enough armor to survive the ERA detonations in the first place.

The clueless engineers/mechanics think the ERA tiles will add extra protection to the jet and decided to start affixing them to the body without running it by anyone else first.

The reality is that the tiles will weigh the plane down significantly and most definitely destroy the entire plane if one of them gets set off.

It's the equivalent of strapping plate armor to a flying bird. But also the armor explodes when damaged.

It's a Ukrainian War meme, along with cope cages and the like - basically they put ERA on everything and anything.

In this case, the anime girl takes umbrage with that.

I'm too old to learn and I'm not an artist. So hate me for the AI use, but this is how my mind thinks when someone says shit posting.

Sir, I am giving you a chance, please don't waste it.

Is it at least self-hosted/will you self host it later if you ever "need" it later?

(for ⅖ of a redemtion point)

I mean I guess. It'll probably stay on my phone. But it looks so terribly AI that I am reluctant to share it. It did do a good job creating what was in my head, but...AI!

Have you tried searching the Internet for a picture and downloading it instead?

Well I mean sure, but nothing really captures the subtle humor I slipped in there. COD, AliExpress, their slogan is gold. But I will never be happy with what AI images look like. Just pure trash. Which is, technically speaking, pure shit posting.

But let's be clear, I have zero I'll will for anyone downvoting this. I get to share what's in my head while openly accepting the condemnation for using AI pho-art.

Ok, so first of all, ai slop isn't shitposting. It's just shit.

Secondly, you're not too old to learn how to draw. Nobody is. I could give you a single book and within the next six months you could be drawing realistic portraits.

Third, if you know how bad ai is for everyone and everything, but still want to express yourself, you do want to draw.

So don't indulge in being lazy and selfish, and draw a shitty picture.
