You see what makes a Nazi isn’t actually killing millions of people. It’s only killing millions of Russians. The reason why the Nazis are evil is not actually because they are evil but because they went against the Russians.
That’s how many of the Russians see it anyway, and by extension many tankies. The only difference is tankies have to try and sound reasonable to a Western leftist audience.
That’s the image I got. I actually had something else, (oops) but it looks similar. I don’t know if Lemmy lets me post the whole image. I don’t know if it’s the original either, but I used this as a desktop background for years. I ditched it on the upgrade to 4k. Size is 1.2 MB
Holy cow. I have that image
Why specifically Azov?
It’s got quite a few years until it comes into full effect. I can definitely see diesel electric and eventually full electric big rigs coming online in the next few years. Especially at ports where there’s a lot of standing around waiting for freight.
Vous voudrez du pain avec ton beurre?
Maybe capacity is to the point where military planners are willing to give up stock of some missiles. But if I’ve taken anything away from the Russo-Ukranian war, it’s that quantity of weapons systems is incredibly There’s a heck of a lot of targets to hit in China.
However if the US is in a position to send JASSM to Ukraine, I will be excited. Personally, I’m very excited to see what weapons systems that Ukraine can now use since it has F-16. Especially with JDAM-ER which the Russians have shown the effectiveness of.
The resurgence of the ATACMs is aimed at Ukraine and Europe as a whole. Especially Poland and its massive HIMARS fleet on order. It would definitely be useful in the Pacific, but from what I see in the procurement requests, it’s mostly for foreign order. It’s a major move though, seeing as new production of the ATACMs was terminated in 2007.
The problem with these long range Standoff munitions is that they’re sorely needed in the indo-pacific region if there’s ever a war with China. (Likely to be within the next few years) It’s going to give some pause to US planners as range is at a premium there. I don’t see JASSM going to Ukraine myself, as these missiles are reserved for a fight with China. However, it may be a useful move to get Europe to chip in for long range munitions.
Wow. I’d be nuts to fly one of those things. 6000 VVI sounds like suicide
With the collective firmly held down on the bottom stop, things happen very fast. The helicopter is descending in a hurry, as in 4,000 – 6,000 feet per minute. Do the math, if you are at 1,000 feet and the descent rate is 4,000 feet, you have one quarter or a minute – 15 seconds – to find a place to land.
It’s more about altitude than the ability to glide. Helicopters can do what’s called Auto rotation, which means they actually can glide. If the blade seize up however, they can’t autorotate. Helicopters fly a lot lower than most airplanes though, so they can’t glide as far.
You have the deepest conversations around a fire. Everything from philosophy to art to politics, this is how man bonds with his brethren.
I feel like video games are about as diverse as books are now. Anyone can play anything they want. Of course, they blame capitalism for the lack of new creative games, but I see all sorts of creative games. Lethal Company makes excellent satire on capitalism and is one of the better games this year. Helldivers is another great satirical game
There are still old games that work too, and we have a large collection of history to play through. They mentioned RCT2, a 20 year old game at this point.
Capitalism isn’t really to blame for triple A games failing. It’s usually scope issues and trying to please a certain audience. Indie games and old games address that problem. Don’t like the new stuff? Just play the old stuff.
If there’s anything to blame on capitalism, it’s the state of mobile games, riddled with micro transactions and gotcha. It’s designed to separate you from your money. The best mobile games are just ports of desktop games, as that is a market that doesn’t rely on you making as many transactions as possible.
There’s also subscription services. This doesn’t have to be solved though a revolution, but can be solved through consumer protections.
F-22 isn’t in production anymore and it would be very expensive to start up production again. Much of the capacity to produce F-22 has been taken up by other programs such as F-35 meaning that they would need new capacity.
They actually had the opportunity to produce more F-22s with the Japanese government offering to buy and put forward a lot of money to produce more, but the US didn’t see the need for more of an air superiority platform
F-22 specializes in Air Superiority or clearing the skies. It wasn’t made for air to ground (even though it can do it today) In Afghanistan, there wasn’t a need for more air superiority
North Korean hackers are no joke. They’re probably one of the best hacking groups in the world. They provide a lot of revenue to the government and they do very impressive espionage.
It’s important to note that even though they stole the plans, this doesn’t mean that they can build it. They don’t have the material science or manufacturing processes to build the planes. At most, they can come up with countermeasures or sell the PLAns to some other country
Skunks don’t usually smell unless they’re threatened or dead. That said, it still probably stinks a little. Do not try to do the deed without the skunk’s consent though
Or you could look for the tugboats towing it
Wait until you learn about diamonds
That looks hella dangerous
You don’t argue with fools. You dismiss them
If you want the really specific term, it’s Jim Crow, after the Jim Crow laws passed in the south after reconstruction. The effects of Jim Crow reach us today and will for a long time
