A pilot who flies a simple mission and fucks it up so badly that he almost kills himself while starting an international incident.
An example of this occurred on Tuesday March 14th 2023 when a Russian Su-27 fighter jet releases fuel as it approaches the rear of a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 drone in what the Pentagon says was "an unsafe and unprofessional intercept" over the Black Sea.
Analysis of the film footage of the incident showed such inept flying that analysts started calling the pilot “Bottom Gun” — essentially meaning that he would never be represented as a hero in a Tom Cruise Top Gun Movie.
Even though the actions of this pilot caused him to receive a medal; his “heroic efforts” also convinced NATO Allie’s to begin sending fighter jets to Ukraine.
It’s a lovely war.
That Russian pilot who flew the mission against our drone was BottomGun; what a fuck up — he’s lucky to be alive after that. He’s lucky that Drones don’t shoot back.

Battojutsu is a Japanese term meaning techniques for engaging a sword. It is often used interchangeably with the terms iaijutsu, battodo, or iaido, although each term does have nuances in the Japanese language and different schools of Japanese martial arts may use them to differentiate between techniques (e.g. standing or sitting techniques).
The emphasis of training in battojutsu is on cutting with the sword. All terms are somewhat more specific than kenjutsu (sword techniques) or kendo (the Way of the sword), as the latter two refer mostly to techniques where the sword is already out of its scabbard (saya) and is therefore engaged in combat.
