probably (definitely) more active on other sites! anyways we're on here too. mostly to share art by buddies & pals & friends here.
Unless it's as objectively funny as the Tupolev Tu-4 bomber, which was created when the USSR took apart an American B-29 that made an emergency landing in its territory during WWII, copied every single part down to the serial numbers, then produced an exact copy for years because they lacked the technology to create a strategic bomber of their own.
THAT I can get behind, because it's hilarious
stalin was really weird and insisted that they copy it EXACTLY, down to using imperial measurement screws instead of metric when nothing else in the Soviet Union ran on imperial measurements. the only thing he let them swap was using soviet 20mm cannons instead of american .50 cal machine guns for the defensive guns
Objectively funny plagiarism like this is fine, especially with military hardware. Incredible.
Every modern military just uses the same camo these days too, this shit never stops, and it's so blatant and funny for organizations that try to take themselves seriously to be so blatantly creatively bankrupt
