Yes, the compression is bad, but you can’t tell me that the plane isn’t literally exploding right now. Also the vacuum cleaner looks off, but on second glance maybe it’s fine? I’m not sure.
I’ve watched a CATOBAR video to see what you’re talking about (interesting stuff btw), but isn’t that unrelated? In this image there is no aircraft carrier, the wings are angled 45° upwards, and there are weird orange spots on the hull.
I’m pretty sure it’s and f-14 launching off of a carrier, but the image is zoomed in so you only see a tiny portion of the deck obscured by the smoke. The orange glow is the jets on the back, and it’s taken at an angle which makes the tail fins stick out weirdly.
To be fair there is so much JPEG compression on the image, you can’t see much of anything.

Jet taking off with catapult system on an aircraft carrier, the CATOBAR system is steam powered if I’m not mistaken.

We’re looking at a rear view of a fighter with a V tail…
Dayum that’s a thiccc booty
The jets? That’s the only orange.
You’re probably being sarcastic
I don’t think I’m seeing what you’re seeing in that image.

I think it might be an f/a-18 actually, vertical stabilisers are more slanted in a V and the engines are closer together than on an f-14
EDIT: found the original image
Hmm okay, I see. I still think it looks weird but at least I get what you’re saying now.
The tail fins also move, and would be angled for takeoff
It’s possibly an f/a-18, the tail looks like a V and the engines are closer together like in the picture.
