Sean Penn is unexpectedly fluent in Soviet aircraft.
After apologizing for his hoarseness — he had just come from a post-production sound session — the Oscar-winning “Milk” and “Mystic River” actor launched into a detailed comparison of Russian versus Ukrainian fighter jets.
“The Ukrainians are flying without guided missile systems. So, they actually have to get a visual on the Russian MiGs to shoot them down,” Penn said in a phone interview. “Whereas the Russian fighter jets can lock in, fire a guided missile from 100 kilometers out, then duck into safe airspace.”
Thank God for Hollywood.
