From the comments, this is a singe shot shotgun under the barrel of a Russian rifle, correct?
Which, to be fair, is actually kinda awesome.
And the missile wouldn't just immediately face the way it came once launched?
All at once, or spread out over a period of time? Because I'd take the F16s in most scenarios.
As someone who loves old and historically significant machinery, the amount of history that has been lost during this war really makes me sad. Miriya the AN225, Kommuna the 110 year old vessel that has served three iterations of the Russian government, the weird radiation proof personnel transporter they lost a few weeks ago. Even all the old tanks and personnel transporters that could have ended up in the hands of collectors, it's all stuff that has been lost, and can never be regained.
Honestly, I'd say they're even worse.
The commenter was almost certainly a Yankee Doofus though.

There's video of the actual explosion, presumably from the people who planted it. I'm amazed he's alive.
I actually have one of those, and they're awesome.
It's more likely they turned a blind eye, if they knew at all.
Also, the penalty for forging what is essentially currency is far too low.
The nazis had a scheme to air drop fake notes into the UK during ww2, and I think the allies had similar schemes.
It's not new, although I'm not familiar with anyone doing it with postage stamps.
Pratchett has done it though.
They're called parasite fighters, and just about everyone has had a go at them at some point.
The Goblin was the last serious attempt.
OP can't just drop this and run without a link.
What is this in reference to, exactly?
Nothing really competes with the energy density of liquid fuel, to be fair, so it will always be around in military applications to some extent.
Like the Abrams X, for example.
