Imagine mid fight and getting a mandatory software update

imagine getting a notification from clash of clans like "russia attacked your village" in combat 💀

If it works it works.

It's the current 'killer app' for the iPad

"Damnit, it wants me to sign in again..."

They custom built a latching system to latch western missiles onto Soviet era planes and they control it using a amplified Bluetooth connection with an iPad.

Commercial tech has had exponentially more R&D funding, development and testing. So, this is zero surprise.

imagine lagging out during combat ...

Necessity is the mother of invention

I know she is older but the F-16 is so badass. Check your mirrors.

it went from a landline to a cell phone in one easy swoop.

The fact that Ukraine even has an Air Force at all attests to their ingenuity and their fighting spirit.

Amazon "Fire" Tablet ?

Plot twist: they're watching skibidi toilet

For anyone wondering, in the footage, it looks like they’re using Foreflight, an IPad App mainly used by almost every pilot for flight planning and navigation. In General Aviation in USA, almost every pilot I know uses Foreflight (or Garmin for android. They both function practically the same), and I believe it would be the same outside of the US. In terms of aviation as a whole, this is still relatively new tech but that’s because all of aviation is just so old school that it took years for the FAA to recognize the normal usage of IPads in the cockpit. I don’t know how they’re using it to control their weapon systems, but this isn’t a new or uncommon thing. It also isn’t “old school” or making use of resources, they’re just doing something the rest of the world already has been doing. What’s weird is that they’re using it for fighter aircraft but I’m not a fighter pilot so idk. A reason I can think of is that using an iPad is better and more cost effective than installing GPS into these fighters.

Smart Ukrainians, slava Ukraine

I love how when Russia was seen doing sorta the same thing then everyone booed on them but now Ukraine is soooo smart... lmfao

Lots of civilians with old planes wanting a cheaper alternative to glass cockpit conversions put on IPads all the time.

Beautiful 💙💛

It could be a GeTac tablet 🤔

I'm waiting for this in War Thunder

Let's all welcome Apple into the MIC

If it aint broken why fix it 🤷‍♂️

slava BRICS!

Da TeliGraf is always on good splif

I got one of those to play a video game.

With modern bluetooth and wifi tech this is not in concept so hard to implement.

I've seen an apple sticker inside an artillary system as well, ukranians are really funny lol

USB-C to Arduino type I/O controller like the one seen on the right side of the tablet. Cable trailing off into the guts of the ancient Russian weapons mgmt system. Very nice piece of monkey patching 👍 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Do they fly or just play DCS on the ground?

The Ukrainians are so innovative, so full of *inspiration.*

> TANTO

us 60 billion aid to ukraine are these tablets

US uses iPads too

It also allows for some good gaming not just sov style hearts inflight.

Did Apple sponsor this video?

Clever chaps. The ability to adapt will win them this war.

Mig 29 and su 27

Slava Ukraine💛💙

Game changer?😂

So?

F-16 Fighter Jet Crashes Near Holloman Air Force Base; Pilot Safely Ejects and Taken to a Hospital

I thought the ukrainians were getting Western Jets

because they're ghost of kyiv after all 💙💛

"or similar" JUST DROP THE IPAD BS!

Ghost of Kiev 😂😂😂😂

I get it.

Ukraine using ipads: Ingenious, smart, modern, crafty Russians using a simmilar thing: stupid, outdated, rag tag mad max, Double standards.

Nice story

Ukraine 🇺🇦 is already several steps ahead of Russia and now they will be given what they need to defeat the aggressors

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Cool helmet

I wonder if all of these MIGs have a back door that allows Russia to regain access

😂😂😂😂

Those would -not- be "iPads".

just a stunt

whole 29 planes? :>

Looks like nothing more than foreflight app used by most pilots airline military or general aviation....

Getting tired of footing the bill for this war....

Is for navigation...your report is very unacurate.

and this makes them what ? top guns ? fucffing propaganda

Zelensky's Ucraina does'not exist anymore.

So the fascists don't need F16s after all

Hmm pr is nice but frontline is saying somthing else

So cute. So irrelevant.

Let Europe help the Ukraine.. The US needs to leave in all respects!

By experience Ukrainians have much to teach the world. The adaptation and use of foreign equipments at short time is staggering
