Yeah! So they use the one drone to destroy something and the next drone is looking to see what damage was done. If the damage is consistent with what they want, that drone then will go onto it's next target. If the attack wasn't substantial damage, then the drone can augment that previous mission to achieve that desired result.

That's honestly fucking awesome. It's straight out of a Tom Clancy novel, but fucking real.

Apparently these drones didn't use drone RFs they were using cell towers to fly.

30% less bombers means drone and missile attacks into Ukraine can be significantly decreased that's one of the biggest developments since the start of the war.

No it wasn't he shut down all the investigations into himself and stole a ton of data to give to Russia.

How could that all be bullshit?

We just saw today what that means.

Literally irreplaceable as Russia can't build these planes anymore.

The dollar value is easily in the billions.

I was seeing from other online spaces that this would be about 30% of Russias strategic bomber fleet and it's accompanying aircraft like their AWACs that got hit.

If that's the case that's a staggeringly bad day for the Russian air force, which means it's a good fucking day.

Seems like this particular base had zero security forces to watch their planes.

What's interesting to me is it seems like they were using a 'chain' of drones. One goes in and another is watching as BDA, then that one goes on it's mission, while the next is doing BDA, etc.

That's pretty brilliant. I wonder how many operators they were using per base.

Israel needs to stop bombing children. Full stop.

This. I personally think they hacked the election, and they also purged the voter rolls.

The GOP effectively purged almost 5 million votes from the voter rolls.

Look how many votes trump won by.

Maybe, just maybe, if you wanted to exist peacefully with your neighbors you'd stop indiscriminately bombing civilians and violating their civil rights.

Those people deserve to live in peace just as much as you. Stop being the aggressor. It's not fucking hard.

Here's where Israel fucked up with their supporting trump play.

If the whole world has turned their back on the US because of a despotic leader, what makes you(Israel) think they'll continue to support you? You're a MUCH smaller player on the international stage than the fucking US.

You done fucked yourselves.

So?

Different people have different breaking points.

Are you really going to be a fucking hipster about people coming around to Gaza and talk down because they supported an oppressed people later than you did?

Fucks sake dude.

ahhh fair!

This, this this.

IIRC (forgive me I haven't looked at this in ages) the USSR (lets face it, Russia is using their old shit, just like they're using in Ukraine) had tritium based weapons. The half-life of tritium is just over 12 years. The USSR fell apart in 1991, so to make math easy lets use 1990 as the year their arsenal all got a nice refresh. 35 years have passed since 1990. That means they are on their 3rd full refresh of nuclear fissile material since the fall of the USSR. The budget for Russias nuclear force is a fraction of the US's budget. There's no fucking way they've refreshed 5500 warheads 3 times since the Cold War.

For everyone else on here, it's not JUST the bombs they have to maintain either. Those missiles need changed out, fuel needs swapped in and out, components in those missiles go bad because of the radiation, the facilities themselves that house said missiles need maintenance, the subs need maintenance, etc etc etc.

Russia doesn't have 5500 nukes. What the actual number is, I have no fucking idea. But it's nowhere near that number. I'm sure people in intelligence services know.

Same. I put in like 3 hours into Breakpoint and I was like 'where's literally all the flavor gone from this game? So glad I waited until it was like a 5 dollar steam sale. Even then I tried to refund it but was past the 'trial' period.

They say 'cringe' now.

Fuuuucking this.

It's Grand Theft Auto; Special Forces.

I wish they didn't absolutely butcher the sequel. It feels fucking awful compared to Wildlands.

Like...

the production value is good but it's not super amazing. That's fine. But the big issue is that they take so fucking long between seasons that I just don't care anymore.

I give zero fucks at all about the 'new' Stranger Things that, sometime soonish, will come out?

Like, it's been fucking years at this point. There's no hype anymore.
