About
SuperCum is the supposed name of a Russian UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) that appeared in a graphic posted by the Air Force of Ukraine. The graphic refers to the SuperCam UAV. The name began trending on social media after the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported the country was attacked on the night of May 16th, 2023 by 18 missiles amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict and shot them all down, including at least one "SuperCum" UAV. The name "SuperCum" caught social media users' attention due to it sounding like "Super Cum," which is Western slang for an orgasm.
Origin
On May 16th, 2023, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted a graphic to Telegram that the previous night, Russia had fired 18 missiles at Ukraine and Ukraine was successful in destroying them all.[1] Among those missiles were three UAVs, including at least one SuperCam UAV (SuperCam shown below).
In the original version of the message, SuperCam is written as "SuperCum" (shown below, left). In English translations of the graphic, "SuperCum" is written as "SuperCam" (shown below, right).
That morning, Twitter[2] user @Maks_NAFO_Fella tweeted the Ukrainian graphic, including "SuperCum" in their tweet. The tweet gained over 140 retweets and 1,000 likes in less than twelve hours (shown below).
Spread
As news of the attack and Ukraine's defense spread on social media, many users were struck by "SuperCum."
