“High accuracy” I mean, technically if it has to make slightly too much of a course correction it’ll destroy itself lol.

I wonder at what rate of turn a hypersonic missile will experience hitting the air like a wall of concrete.

Lunokhod is a soviet lunar rover.

I don’t think Trump is capable of admiration, and I also don’t think it’s dirt keeping him in check.

It might simply be that Trump is that stupid. The parallels between descriptions of Trump and Hitler are striking as well.

If Trump doesn’t respond to the international humiliation it will be intentional, otherwise if he got his way with the Unitary Executive Power, then he’d just glass Russia and be free from that chain (while probably getting lots of us killed).

The only thing we know for certain is Russian propaganda is rarely intended for Western audiences.

RC Hobbiests become the most in demand job.

I was going to say “doubt” because I’ve seen various smart bulb development prototypes (ancient technology by now), but then it occurred to me that once you nix the parts that drive LEDs from AC, you got yourself a nice lil mc board. With some fancy soldering (better than anything I could do) you could probably get access to a couple extra pins. If you can get access to whatever reprogramming interface it has on just one, youve now got yourself a fligh controller. You’ll need a radio, but I imagine Russia has something for that, or maybe they have something fancy with whatever the 2.4Ghz radio provides.

Then you need PWM signals for motor control and you need an accelerometer and gyro. Every phone and your grandmother has those. Program in your flight software to fly the drone the way you want with all the sensors and radios. Then you just need a battery adapter and escs for the BLDCs.

If you get a shipment of 10k bulbs and have a process for extracting it - you got up to 10k drone brains.

One day, in the future, the people who live where Russia is now will look back at the history of Russia and say “Ha, wow, what a bunch of stupid inbred alcoholics. Thank goodness Putin forgot to reinstall the window of his last victim.”

See, Iran, this is the problem. Israel doesn’t have the grounds to wage a war, but when you kill those that disagree with you, it’s really hard for anyone to desire helping you

Talibangelicalots?

Doesn’t South Korea have a pretty big stake in this? Not like “stop guarding their border” stake, but “holy shit guys we have a way to really make them eat dirt.”

If the things I’ve been reading over time are true, the Mexican Army had been having a tough time fighting the cartels because the cartels had military weapons and some ex military leaders.

But recently, the army has been far more effective because their training has been more focused on combating cartels, and those ex military in the cartel are dwindling in numbers.

Hey, but at least you got them in a bucket dude, good for you.

People without ADHD cannot physically experience the difficulty in doing what isn’t directly occupying our mind. Anything we accomplish should be celebrated.

“Just do what you’re supposed to!”

Like, yeah, that’s my whole problem. I do what I’m supposed to but it’s completely independent of what I have scheduled or prioritized. Maybe it means my medication needs to be kicked up a couple doses. Or maybe it means I need people to be happy I got anything I needed to get done, done.

Its TAU TACTICS!

LIKE KROOT! with significantly less survival rates and effectiveness which is damn impressive

First, I love the name “little pinks.” Seems way more insulting than tankie. I’m gonna call em that now.

Second, online Chinese nationalists have always made me chuckle. They get bent so out of shape about the atrocities the Japanese committed against them, but if you mention the millions of Chinese killed through the many actions of the CCP they break and end up with a mashup of “those were justified for peace and safety” and the Japanese have and always will be cruel because of what they did.

I’m pretty sure the US is only interested in doing that to protect US assets in Israel. There’s a shitload of money and intelligence there,

But the part that bothers me is that Israel already has an insane missile defence system why the fuck do they need the US resources on top of that?

1948 is a big stretch for me to agree with “isn’t new.” No one alive today would have been influential then, and many countries have significantly changed in that region of the world since 1948.

Now if stuff like this happened in the 80s, then I’d say yeah, 100% this is up their alley.

Wait like the Actual UN?

I get that the UN has no real teeth, but the peacekeepers do have teeth.

The fuck is going on anymore. Like I get they have all sorts of freedom to fuck around because they have weapons given to them with no control over their use, but this seems to me they are truly beginning to test their fate.

Do they pretend that it benefits them somehow?

Cultural révolution pt 2?

10 years ago people called me insane for suggesting that after the F-35, new fighters will be drones. 3-4 years ago people thought it was unlikely that an F-35 would really end up being a command center for for a “swarm” of drones.

The limiting factor in a fighter is the human. You can’t pull more than 9Gs without knocking out the pilot. You can pull all of the life support systems out of the aircraft too. Eliminate the cockpit all together.
