Which shot hit the telehandler?
Video cut to show only the telehandler aka reach forklift spewing hydraulic fluid and dropping as a result of losing pressure as one of the bullets hit it during the Donald J. Trump assassination attempt. In case anybody had doubts that the bullets shot by the shooter were real.

Telehandler venting hydro fluid and dropping indicates it took a hit; really shows you how steep the angle was. People saying Trump was saved by him turning his head may be right.
Just luck, and a psycho with good aim going for the head? Or just a decent shooter aiming

F-5 / F-20 had no growth left, had to evolve into the Hornet and Super Hornet to stay relevant. Current orders for Viper instead of Hornet show that going Viper was the right choice. The real missed opportunities are the F-16 Agile Falcon and F-16XL.

Because it is the ear it did so little damage as cartilage and the ammo type is "funny" like that. 5.56 mm / .223 Rem. works on hydrostatic shock due to speed. Had it hit his brain which is fluid filled like all humans? Major damage would have ensued due to the cavitation bubble.

Der Schaden am Krankenhaus past zu dem 450 kg Sprengkopf der Kh-101. Nicht zu einem 20 kg Splitter-Sprengkopf einer AIM-120. Selbst eine 155 mm Granate hat mehr Sprengkraft als die AMRAAM.

It is real bud, if you cannot tell video games apart from reality then the problem is with you. There are several clues as to why this is real: tail number, clouds, winglets, asymmetric tank, prop speed, appearance, cockpit reflection.

The thing with the checkerboard is that it has some heraldry rules behind it. Hence the orientation which the checkerboard faces. For poles those colors run deep also, so I can understand if there was a debate.

I wonder if the Stinger Universal Launcher (SUL) would have doubled the Stinger load on all stations of the RAH-66. 6+8 or 12+16 is the question. As usual if she lived to see the Hydra based APKWS it would be been laser-guided rockets galore.

The advantage that this has to say AIM-54 Phoenix is that CGs and DDGs use the same missile, so there are economies of scale at play. And the name Standard Missile isn't a joke, as the lineage has been used on those ships for half a century, and there is still room for growth.
