  The clueless engineers/mechanics think the ERA tiles will add extra protection to the jet and decided to start affixing them to the body without running it by anyone else first.

  The reality is that the tiles will weigh the plane down significantly and most definitely destroy the entire plane if one of them gets set off.

  It’s the equivalent of strapping plate armor to a flying bird. But also the armor explodes when damaged.

  It’s a Ukrainian War meme, along with cope cages and the like - basically they put ERA on everything and anything.

  In this case, the anime girl takes umbrage with that.
