Video published to TikTok by Ukrainian troops shows a Ukrainian Su-27 and MIG-29 utilizing a strip of highway as a runway for combat operations in an unknown part of the country.

I don't know enough about aircraft to know if this is impressive or not. The infantryman in me however is insanely impressed by this, considering I've watched MRAPs fail at driving on highways of a similar size, and here these guys are taking off in fighter jets from the same kind of road.

One of you DCS fanboys let me know if this is cool or not down in the comments, because I'm fairly impressed, but my resume with planes ends with not being able to fly a jet in Arma 3 without getting banned from the KoTH server.
