If you’re a fan of the F-52, there’s some good news for you. President Trump today announced that the first F-52 fight aircrafts have made their way to Norway safely. So what’s the bad news? Well, the F-52s aren’t real. Yes, you read that right, they aren’t real.

The F-52 is an advanced fight aircraft that exists only in the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare game. The Washington Post pointed this mistake out following Trump’s puzzling move that these fictional planes made their way to Norway safely.

“In November we started delivering the first F-52s and F-35 fighter jets,” Trump said. “We have a total of 52 and they’ve delivered a number of them already a little ahead of schedule.” Apparently well ahead of schedule too because these fictional planes made their way into the real world.

The Washington Post says that Trump more than likely combined the number of planes, 52, with the name of F-35 fighter aircrafts. After this mistake, it would be interesting to see how red Trump’s face got after this was pointed out.
