  1. ​ @Legomanfred  The point is that it was McDonald's. People respect you for starting from the bottom. If your first job was a three letter agency everyone would assume you were a trust fund kid or nepo baby. Saying you worked at McDonald's makes the working class respect you.

  2.  @Victor-vj5ds  How do you counter battery what's essentially a machine gun? Some of you people are out your damn minds.

  3.  @AkiraNakamoto  Agility won't protect one from a shower of frag.

  4.  @Victor-vj5ds  The point is that counter-battery radar tracks the trajectory of artillery shells. An autocannon firing rounds will not be detected due to horizon.

  5.  @AkiraNakamoto  No. If something explodes, frag is thrown all around. You move up? You get frag. You dive down? Frag. Move to the left or right? Frag. And the autocannon has more power than a small drone.

  6.  @Victor-vj5ds  Forget the horizon. There's modern systems with FLIR-style cameras which track objects. A little rat-ta-ta and the drones go down, and there's nobody to counter-battery it.

  7.  @AkiraNakamoto  Okay? So your killer bots can detect the anti-air? It's not so much a paradigm shift, but the fact we haven't invested in SHORAD. We'll deal with drones just like we dealt with aircraft in the past. By shooting them full of holes.

  8. But hasn't the UK closed all but three ranges that allow 50 cal, meaning that even if technically it's legal it's incredibly difficult for the police to approve a license?

  13. ​ @havable  It's not ironic, have you ever heard libertarians? They're worse than leftists on how anti-US they get when it comes to the military ventures overseas.

  14. ​ @TheTrueDeitel  Most ancaps point to the use of the military to defend corporate interests as one of the top reasons to be antistate. "OG libertarians" sound more like ancaps than modern left-lib. I swear you people rarely leave your bubble.

  17. They don't need sympathy. They're fine just fanning the flames of division. Remember when Russia was running BLM pages? They did that to sow chaos. They don't need to gather sympathy for Russia. They just need Americans to be at each others' throats.

  18. The missile "thinks" the thrust is normal. If thrust is offset, it will try pointing the fins to correct but the thrust will keep bringing it out of the correct path. It's like picking up a small dog and they keep running in the air with their legs.

  19.  @СерхиоБускетс-ф7я  Depends what the trajectory is. You're assuming the missile is horizontal and covering a great distance. However it's near the target, which means it would have been falling near vertically. Patriots were tested against the Pershing II warhead in 1997. That was a maneuverable reentry warhead, and it came in at hypersonic speeds. You're claiming something isn't possible when it was tested two decades ago.

  22. Calling them hypersonic is extremely charitable, I sincerely doubt the ground clutter doesn't mess up that shot. All of the Russian wondertech seems to have been overhyped until we saw it. The MiG-31 and the fat missile are about the only things we haven't captured or seen destroyed precisely because they don't dare get close to Ukrainian airspace. Are we really going to take their word for it? After all, an estimated 6 missiles are fired daily to suppress the Ukrainian airforcd but only a handful of kills have been attributed to them.

  31. If it's unguided, it could land on civilian homes by accident. The idea is good, but it should have some kind of way to either crash safety, self-destruct, etc.
    1
  32.  @egelpom8948  The problem is that at such longer ranges and speeds (because it has to mimic HIMARS) the spread of the rockets increases when they're unguided. The problem isn't even civilian areas, it's how even aiming at an empty field can destroy some farmer's house or even start a brush fire during the summer.
    1
  33.  @egelpom8948  Yes, but the unguided rockets have comparatively shorter range. It's like a shotgun, shoot someone across a hall, the pattern is fist-sized. Shoot at someone 100 yards away, most of the pellets miss. If you fire unguided rockets at the range they're meant for, you get some accuracy despite the dispersion. If you fire an unguided rocket at the distance HIMARS reaches to make a convincing decoy, it's probably gonna go off course. If you watch amateur rocketry videos, people spend a lot of time trying to make really good rockets but when they're fired they end up becoming unstable or at least spinning out. Making a stable rocket cheaply is pretty hard. At some point adding some kind of rudimentary guidance would be worth it.

  35. ​ @TheRolvaag  to restore spent shells for guns, you can pick up range brass, run them through a tumbler with steel pins, water, dishwasher soap and a touch of citric acid. The cases rolling around with the steel pins and chemical cleaning makes them shine like new. You'd need a comically oversized tumbler to clean tank shells, though.

  38. ​ @UnfollowYourDreams  Typically? No. They are mandated to perform minimum services. Otherwise hospitals, police, public transportation would shut down. Have you ever watched the news from around the world? This is a frequent tug of war in many countries, as police forces are stretched thin and underpaid, doctors and nurses in the public sector are shifting to private, etc.

  39. ​ @jdotoz  I don't want to make assumptions but that's the kind of first order analysis I'd except from a teenager. Yes, the government is powerful but elections and issues such as constitutionality provide a braking force that prevent abuse of government workers. If anything, in the developed world a government job is typically seen as a good gig. While you make more in the private sector in government it's incredibly rare for layoffs to happen, they typically get the most paid time off and holidays. There's hardly any reason to abuse government workers, because they and their families will vote for change in leadership out of spite, but also because the public doesn't want to see government services cut as a result. On the other hand, public sector workers can easily damage the reputation of a government and trigger an electoral loss to the administration with little to no personal consequences. The strikers could just return to work and the new government pass legislation to "reward" them.

  40. Hospital isn't rubble, the photos show it still standing.

  41.  @bjrnmagnusson5351  After photos surfaced, the hit was on the car parking lot. It was mostly burned cars. Not a OKC scenario by any means. Which still had tons of rubble because you can't wipe out the face of a building without leaving rubble.

  42. Jesus you want to send F-16s behind the Urals? The battles are happening within walking distance of the Russian border, you'd spend more fuel lining up for a refueling than just doing the mission.

  43. The majority of traceable weapons come from the US. The majority of weapons seized by Mexican authorities are not traceable. What the cartels like to get from the US is ammo and handguns.

  44. Thanks for what? They don't have the ammo.

  45.  @bmad0  There's no confirmed info, but I ask again: why would that matter if they can't get the ammo? Take it apart? So that's an admission that Russian weapons are inferior and they need to copy captured weapons?

  46.  @bmad0  Confirmed by whom? I can confirm the moon is made of cheese, but my confirmation means nothing. It's not a waste. They sell, they get rich. Russia goes bankrupt trying to stop the arms flow. Let Putin steal the bread from the mouths of his own people to bribe Ukraine.

  49.  @bmad0  It's not suppressed. It's just that it's so obviously fake we just mock the people who produce it and those who believe it. Latin American reporting... O que é absurdo é a America Latina ter ficado tão ressabiada com os Estados Unidos que até hoje baixam as calças e dobram-se perante a Rússia após o que os comunas fizeram. Se pudesses até deixavas os Russos colonizar o teu país e dizias que era caridade. Esquerdalha de merda que por alguma razão se alia à direita Russa. Who gives a damn about Spain? They get gas from North Africa. A pacifist Ukraine means a kicked down Ukraine. Of course Russia wants pacifist neighbors. It's easy to win wars against pacifists. The Cuban missile crisis didn't end with invasion. It ended with the US solving it diplomatically. Everyone understands this. Russia kicks the table and shits on the floor while screaming.
