1·5 months agoPretty sure NATO a while ago also said they’d respond with conventional means first, which imo is not a great statement to make and kinda wants me to get nuclear weapon development in my own country going again. I personally don’t trust the UK or France or let alone the US to nuke Russia or whoever over a non nuclear European country. Because that would ultimately mean they’d get nuked in response too and I think this will mean they won’t defend us in such a scenario.
I don’t know from where they got the frisbee club thingy but it’s real and I don’t see why you’d think it isn’t.
if slightly greasy
What? Döner is really not that greasy.
How many generals are we at now? 12? I completely lost track.
I think they also can’t leave without permission either. I say this because I’m not sure if Russia would even want more ships to be there with how things are going with their Black Sea fleet. lol
The cheapest option is a CWIZ but even that thing costs something like $40,000 a minute to fire
Yes, like the Skyranger 30 HEL, which can be mounted on a Boxer or Lynx KF41, but those are still meant for flimsy aerial targets, not an armored laser turret within a heavily protected compound.
No, not the opposite. Yes, you don’t have to lead the target, but you also have to remain dead accurate onto the target for a prolonged time for the laser to accumulate. They aren’t some video game instagib weapon but heat the target up over several seconds of prolonged exposure to the beam. This means you have to be able to accurately track them, even tiny targets such as drones. Leading the target isn’t really much of an issue at those ranges and with programmable munitions. Tracking those movements is in fact easier because you don’t need that pin point accuracy when you saturate the flight path with thousands of tiny bits of submunitions.
You have a big cloud of submunitions that the target has to get through.
Having such lasers stationary is one thing, but having them mobile another. You need a lot of stored energy to fire those things. And the tracking is probably the hardest task, at least for small or very fast objects, because you need to be so much more accurate compared to autocannons with programmable ammunition.
Rheinmetall has the HEL and I believe the US has one in the works too.
Which breaks rule 1: Title must match the article headline Report OP’s ass.
No reason to feel that way. This isn’t even really a secret. Which makes the strikes on the Houthis a little stupid too because we all know it’s basically Iran by proxy that does this. And when Iran finally gets their nukes it is pretty much over because then they’re untouchable.
From 2020:
“We can always shoot all [migrants] afterwards. That’s not an issue at all. Or gas them, or whatever you want.” & “The worse off Germany is, the better for the AfD”
At least we can now see more broadly who is and isn’t okay with what Israel’s government does. Not that this is exclusive to Bibi, the whole settler garbage has been going on for decades too and Israeli nationalism was also rising for quite some time before him.
Eh. True or not, but Israel strikes without much care and Hamas is known to use hostages as shields. So I wouldn’t call it unlikely, just contextually kinda irrelevant. It’s a shit show and both sides try to get brownie points / make the other one look more inhumane than the other.
Yep. And not the first, or the last one, either.
Propaganda works.
