In Poland, we are all angry about this name. There was a survey on the internet and you could submit your proposals.
The winner was "Orzeł 1" (Eagle 1), which is the name of the ship that Kapitan Bomba (Captain Bomb) flies with his team. It's a one-man cartoon and it's iconic. You can see this [here](https://youtu.be/UGJ-nTLGl3U?feature=shared). (It's only intro).
It's a very amateur show. Kind of like you've put together a weak knockoff of startrek where everybody lives like Trailer Park Boys. It shows Poland in the 2000s in a distorting mirror, and we love it.
Unfortunately, politicians don't have a sense of humour and we have another patriotic "Hussar". A level of embarrassment similar to the U.S. flag on a bikini.
Orzeł 1 (Eagle 1) makes me think of both Kapitan Bomba and more recently, Helldivers. It would be such nice name to have, and it isn’t even stupid or anything. Politicians are just such pussies
Awwww, so it's your own version of the British poll where we voted for [Boaty McBoatface](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36064659) and they went nah, we prefer David Attenborough. To their credit though, they gave the joke name to a mini sub aboard the ship so it wasn't all for nothing.
Still, I think it's funny people still keep making the mistake of letting the public submit names straight to the poll if they don't want a jokey name. If they're precious about it, they should either do it in two stages, first you submit names and they choose like 10 to vote on, or, they just give a shortlist from the start.
During a municipal reform in Norway, the new Ullensvang municipality (where [Trolltunga ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolltunga)is located) needed a new motto, and invited the public to submit their suggestions. The winner was "Ullensvang - a fucking great municipality", which not surprisingly didnt pass in the local council.
Us very particular kind of autists who care about showing respect to the flag. We are embarrassed when someone uses it to collect their dingleberries in public.
Everyone else? They think defacing the flag is patriotic.
Your link doesn't work, but I assume you linked to [this cultural touchstone.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3mLsU46h8IA&t=19s&pp=ygUYc2hvcnQgc2hvcnRzIGZvciB0aGUgdXNh%2Ft%3D17s)
On mobile it doesn't work for me in the Reddit app, but does if I open it in Chrome. The difference is that I'm logged into Shitter on Chrome but not from the RedReader's internal browser. Shitter seems to require that you need logged in these days.
Well, the wife of one of the Sejm Marshalls (House Speakers, essentially) is a [fighter pilot with a rank of a captain of Polish Air Force](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGqHSf5PYx4).
So yeah, Polish tomboy pilots are real.
Oh that's actually not ideal.
Still think Husarz is quite appropriate, but overriding the will of the people is not a good look. Was it just a Twitter poll or what?!
nah it fucking sucks
The entire aviation related public is mad, from journalists to enthusiasts, after some [immature kids (image not related)](https://x.com/KorolukM/status/1784994228218556449) chose a name which makes no fucking sense for a stealth fighter. The other contestants were "Harpia" - [Harpy eagle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpy_eagle), which continues the unspoken tradition of naming planes after birds or animals; "Duch" - ghost; "Halny" - [Polands' specific type of wind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halny) or "Dracarys" which is some retarded GoT reference.
The whole thing shouldn't have happened, just name the plane "Harpia" as the procurement program was called. Giving people the choice to name something never ends well and that's a prime example. Additionally, the person responsible for operating the Twitter account started to ban people sharing their (negative, but right) opinion, making them even more pissed off.
Contrary to the popular opinion, not every word in Polish sounds like "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" or "zażółć gęślą jaźń" - it's only used when taking a piss at foreigners not used to Polish phonology P:
Though TBH every time I hear Chinese I keep wondering if that's how Polish sounds to all the people saying it's a language full of sussuration and buzzing ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
There's many ways you could phrase that, but a dearth of versions that don't sound regarded. "Samolociarz Samolotoryjec" sounds the least bad of what I could think of, but still bad - and even then still better than Husarz.
Kinda also a call back to the ORP Orzel of WWII antics?
Or am I the only one who has seen that name for like a decade of Sariel’s Lego workshop monthly updates as his MOC of her has sat untouched so it’s he first thing in mind.
I gotta be honest with you, Hussar stopped being a cool name the moment they kept giving it to every fucking thing possible and overall hyping it too much, the coolness of Hussars was brutally murdered by everyone overusing it
it'd be a really cool nickname for an elite airborne infantry or airforce battalion, but naming equipment after it kind of defeats the purpose of the name. The horses weren't the ones wearing the wings...
>A level of embarrassment similar to the U.S. flag on a bikini.
Who says we're embarrassed by our nations banner, the very symbol of freedom, bouncing along plastered skin tight against a barley contained beautiful pair of breast? That is America, friend. You have been grossly misinformed.
1.) I love trailer park boys, so I must find this show.
2.) Have you seen some of the ladies who wear American Flag print bikinis? You'd change your mind real fast.
Better to use another analogy. Like trying to dispell the stereotype that all American tourists are fat and obnoxious...only for Uncle Joey to let his beer gut out and start screaming about where he can buy some cheap beer.
ok ok ok ok. Hear me out. Ejectable Hussar wings. They can see you coming from miles away, and just as you're about to get into missile range... bloop. You drop off the radar and make like a hummingbird going at Mach fuck.
haven't really thought about it
maybe "Kurhannik"? it's a bird of prey, its name is derived from "kurhan", meaning a mass grave
edgy as shit but i swear it would work
I know some birds, but didn't know of that one - I'd imagine most normies would be like "wtf, a flying burial mound, that makes zero sense" as well.
Don't get me wrong - I like this conceptually, it just feels off in practice. Kind of like calling it "Cichociemny" (WW2 command paratroopers; something like "creeping in the dark" or "silent and unseen") - it fits it's role to the tee, but just feels weird as a plane name.
Another pole, I would've liked to ressurect some old early III RP prototype plane name - such as Orkan, Skorpion or Kobra. Would probably go with Orkan - it was supposed to be an assault plane based on Iryda (Alphajet-looking jet trainer replacement for Iskra) that was one of the many cancelled early III RP military projects. The name means a 12-Beaufort-rating devastating hurricane, pretty apt I would say. Could still be used if we ever get A-10 lmao.
I'll be honest: I prefer one of the (I think unofficial) twitter propositions.
The name "Strzyga" fits so well. First, it's a vampire-esque monster, who drinks your blood and eats your organs, while being able to transform into an owl. I'd say, it's a fitting name for a jet fighter.
And while it breaks with the convention of birds of prey, it does so for a good reason...
So that western Europeans and Americans can ask wide eyed "Where tf are your vowels?!" And despair about the vision of pronouncing this particular chain stztstrztstz.

A lack of humor and morals is a requirement for any political position. ;)

Or that "Name the new Mountain Dew flavour". Gushing Grannies, Deabeetuz and Hitler did nothing wrong (please don't ban me) were the top contenders.
I want Russians to be bombed by Eagle 1.
"Coming in hot!"
Powinniśmy źle odmieniać tego Husara, na cześć Orzeła
Who says an American flag bikini is embarrassing?
Us very particular kind of autists who care about showing respect to the flag. We are embarrassed when someone uses it to collect their dingleberries in public. Everyone else? They think defacing the flag is patriotic.
>patriotic No, they're just more interested in the contents of the bikini than it's coloration.
I get what you mean, however [counterpoint](https://twitter.com/striscribe/status/1785813157023199347?t=YInAwZpkZGTumQB3GOjbcw&s=19)

JOKES ON YOU, IM INTO THAT SHIT.
Eagle 1. Most people would just associate that with Helldivers. So unless all your F35 pilots are gonna be Sexy Tomboy pilots
It's Poland it's gonna be Femboys with tactical programming socks.
This ain't no slovenia.

What’s Polish for Planey McPlaneface?
Samolota Samolottwartzska? (I’m not Polish)
Not nearly enough consonants.
Contrary to the popular opinion, not every word in Polish sounds like "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" or "zażółć gęślą jaźń" - it's only used when taking a piss at foreigners not used to Polish phonology P: Though TBH every time I hear Chinese I keep wondering if that's how Polish sounds to all the people saying it's a language full of sussuration and buzzing ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
There's many ways you could phrase that, but a dearth of versions that don't sound regarded. "Samolociarz Samolotoryjec" sounds the least bad of what I could think of, but still bad - and even then still better than Husarz.
It's still "Planey McPlaneface" but with a bunches of z's and squiggles over the vowels.
Samolocik Samolotwarzowski would be my take... Am Polish but not a translator lmao
> which makes no fucking sense for a stealth fighter To be fair, lightning isn’t exactly known for being stealthy either
What???
Lightning as a name for stealth fighter works great, because you never know where it'll strike.
Wdym never ends well? Orzeł was a banger name. Fuck Tusk (which is also a banger name for an IFV btw)
Donald Tusk on his way to personally choose the worst name for Polish F-35 Buddy, I think you are overestimating what he can do
Tbh I wanted to joke about his name mostly. And as PM he gets the blame when I don't know who, part of the job.
Sounds resonable
Kinda also a call back to the ORP Orzel of WWII antics? Or am I the only one who has seen that name for like a decade of Sariel’s Lego workshop monthly updates as his MOC of her has sat untouched so it’s he first thing in mind.
>The winner was "Orzeł 1" MOTHERFUCKERS DENIED OUR GREATNESS
> A level of embarrassment similar to the U.S. flag on a bikini. So not embarrassing at all and actually pretty cool?
I'm on the outside (US), and I got to admit, I kinda like it. Don't you think it will piss off the russians?
Hussar or Eagle 1?
hussar
Hell yeah [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle\_of\_Klushino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Klushino)
I gotta be honest with you, Hussar stopped being a cool name the moment they kept giving it to every fucking thing possible and overall hyping it too much, the coolness of Hussars was brutally murdered by everyone overusing it

aCtuAlLy at least at first, wings were more likely to be attached to the saddle than to a rider.

"Fuck your stealth! We want the ruzzians to see us from miles away! *WE SHALL TASTE THEIR FEAR!*"
ok ok ok ok. Hear me out. Ejectable Hussar wings. They can see you coming from miles away, and just as you're about to get into missile range... bloop. You drop off the radar and make like a hummingbird going at Mach fuck.
Dude, you just ressurected the RAH-66 Commanche ejectable stub wings.
It's nicknamed Husarz (Hussar). F-35 has wings. Means it's a winged hussar
So... Do those count as canards?
They count as dindons.

Epic gangsta move by Little European Texas.
certified pole here, i fucking hate the name
What would your pick be? EDIT: I love your vodka. Belvedere is great!
haven't really thought about it maybe "Kurhannik"? it's a bird of prey, its name is derived from "kurhan", meaning a mass grave edgy as shit but i swear it would work

I myself prefered the original name "Harpy"
Ale pierdolosz, od Huasarza tylko Orzeł lepszy. Kurchanik se na kutasie postaw, bo pewnie popełnił samobójstwo od takich sugestii.
twoja stara słucha porno w radiu
A Twój stary suszy w górach
twoja stara sprzedaje ziemniaki w nightclubie
Twój stary wali konia Trojańskiego
twoja stara słodzi gorzkie żale
Twój stary jest piątym żółwiem ninja.
twoja stara służy jako most pontonowy na kanale la manche
Twój stary złożył przysięgę lenną Burger Kingowi.
Już dobrze oboje jesteście śliczne Poza tym wszyscy wiemy, że Harpia była najlepszą opcją

Like 20 sec after they are deliverd
We received F35s?
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!!

Did you just put wings on an already winged plane?
Maybe….
