Wow, the drone was much larger than I expected.

I picked the wrong one when I was a kid. I barely know why I picked the instance I did. It is hard to pick one. I say when trying to join lemmy, there should be interests tags that you select and an instance is populated for you.

What are the chances they did this on purpose? Can the North Koreans file a complaint? Might be worth it for some telegram karma and bonuses.

Aweful film. Avoid it. Instead watch Patlabor 2, World of Tomorrow, or The Terminator.

I’m shocked a world leader hasn’t been killed by a consumer drone yet.

My understanding is that flash was under ordered so SSD prices will be high for a long while.

I’ve read in passing that carriers are extremely vulnerable to missiles, but still survivable in formations. I think air and sea defenses are probably going to get more effective in the long run, rather than retiring carriers. There is just no other system like it and at least some carriers would survive a near pear conflict, for now anyway.

The main benifit of flying a f16 is the weapon loadouts and sensor cooperation. The plane is primarily as target identifier and the missile does the rest.

I’m surprised that there isn’t an open source guide on how to be an effective eco terrorist and what the most vulnerable global chock points are. People have gone to war over less.

Wasn’t that a misquote?

I’ve hear it generalized that Russian war ships are glass cannons, but obviously that statement isn’t helpful in understanding why that is. I don’t know the details short of the Russians believed their best bet in a naval war with NATO was to overwhelm a war ship defenses with a high consintration of missiles and flee before being targeted, but if attacked first a Russian ship will practically detonate itself. Don’t take my word for it tho.

I dont believe this is completely true. Storm shadows are launched via air craft so the gains on the southern front have little impact of cruise missile range. You are probably right that the attacks on Crimea are done in the hope that the Russians will pull out their ships.

That felt like more like an attack on the dry dock. The sub was there for months I believe and presumably would be less of a target than a sub during a rearming. That attack could be the first of many, but to me it still signals conservatism. We’ll see.

I’m suprised Ukraine hasn’t targetted Russian ships in port. It can’t be to hard to get real time info on a boats location but my assumption is for as damning the Russian navys long rang attacks are, the long range Ukranian strike options are limited and destroying the black sea fleat is not the best use of their stock.

It could also play to Ukraines favor if in a negosiation Ukraine commits to allowing Russia to remove its ships safely in exchange for a relitively bloodless taking of Crimea, but that would be a while away, and would rely on a Russia thats willing to negosiate, but Ukraine can always destroy the ships on a later date.
