The US Air Force has resorted to childish antics to show Russian forces what they’re really capable of.
A Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker, which is used to refuel military aircraft, created an impressive penis pattern in the sky near several Russian military facilities in Syria.
According to data from air-traffic tracking site FlightRadar24, the stratotanker set off from Chania International Airport on the Greek island of Crete last Tuesday.
It then spent two to three hours flying in a phallic pattern before returning to Chania.
Behold:
A US military plane “painted a penis” in the sky near a Russian airbase, La Repubblica.
A KC-135 Stratotanker refueling plane remained for almost two hours east of Cyprus on Tuesday, in front of the Syrian base of Tartus, a stronghold of Moscow.

Business Insider reported that the stratotanker made this child-like drawing over an area where several Russian military facilities are located:
One is the sea port of Tartus, a naval facility established in the Soviet era that Russian media reported is used to repair and resupply ships.
Another is Khmeimim Air Base, a Syrian air base operated by Russia, where the country has tested advanced jet fighters such as the Su-57. The air base has been “instrumental in servicing Russian air traffic” in the Middle East and Africa…
The US military has apparently experienced tense and “unprofessional intercepts” with Russian aircraft over the eastern Mediterranean, the Pentagon reported once.
Drawing a dick in the sky is one way to handle that, I guess.
