Twitter users ridiculed the US Pacific Fleet for a post in honor of the country’s Independence Day, to which they attached a photo with silhouettes of Russian Su-27 fighters and a large anti-submarine ship of the Soviet project 61.

“An excellent Russian destroyer and aircraft. Well done!” — synonized FoxtrottKilo.

“Is the US Pacific Fleet deserting?” asked Tore.

“You are the largest fleet in the world. Surely you can use images of your own ships and planes,” Gianluca said.

“Su-27 and a Russian destroyer. Well done, US Navy,” Andy wrote.

“At least it’s not a rainbow flag,” mac attack joked.

After criticism from subscribers, the Pacific Fleet deleted this post.
Earlier, the command of the United States Army congratulated the pilots with a postcard depicting Russian Su-27 aircraft.
