These missiles mimic the radar signature of a full sized plane. They’re extremely expensive, but can absolutely be used to force the SAMs to expend their missiles. I’m thinking of something a few orders of magnitude cheaper. Flight need not

The solution to S-300/S-400 is simple - saturation attacks using low cost, high altitude cruise missiles. Fly them too high to be intercepted by AA guns, with a payload too large/powerful to ignore, and the S-300/S-400 would

Expect that undetectable improvise explosives would make Ukraine much less conquerable. A big enough pipe to pump in a bunch of ANFO under a road should be sufficient to take out a tank.

The crime is supposed to fit the punishment. Many of these leaks can result in American deaths, so why is the death penalty not an option?

All you have to do it drive into a sunrise/sunset, around corners, in and out of the sun, and my Tesla will disengage. I expect someone could demonstrate that Tesla is never able to pass this test with its current sensors, and argue th

Then it should be easy for them to remove themselves from Russia. Until then, western companies should refuse to sign new deals with Infosys.

How much Mercury does satellite propellant contribute to global airborne mercury, compared to coal fired power plant emissions? My first thought is that this is about 7 orders of magnitude less, and thus a ridiculous thing for these technoc

Has Sony turned off multiplayer for all Russian PlayStations? Microsoft turned off Xbox live? These are the things that will actually impact the population.

Ask the people in Ukraine. Russia has a huge reserve. They can provide social services to their population.

The sanctions following Russia’s invasion of Crimea were not sufficient to deter Putin from attacking Ukraine. Russia calculated the pros/cons, and determined that the west would not impose significant sanctions, reducing the potential

Sanctions should be increased even further. Russia experienced the sanctions following the Crimea annexation and scoffed. Due to that, they have been emboldened and attacked Ukraine. Now the sanctions should be tough enough that Russia, wit

by jmpman 5y ago
The RAM 2500 is sold with the Cummings diesel. It’s popular with the type that like to “roll coal” on cyclists and Prius drivers. I suspect a correlation between that mentality and driving intoxicated.

I’ve driven in one. Felt like I was driving with a 16 year old driver. I’d never drive in the rain with it. Through intersection with faulty traffic lights, and police directing traffic? Nope. It never got onto the freeway, and it avoided c

As soon as Russia raises their nuclear forces to “special combat readiness”, I’m fine with taking their propaganda off the air.

I’ve never voted for a politician who voted for the Iraq war. If other Americans had the same stance, our politicians would stop getting us into wars like Iraq. It’s my #1 issue over anything else.

Why would Ukraine leave the pipelines alone? There will no longer be a freely elected government in Ukraine. None of the profit of the pipeline will go towards Ukraine once they’re a puppet state. As for Nord Stream 2, a small underwater au

Isn’t Western Europe still taking Russian oil and gas? Why wouldn’t Ukraine attack the Russian gas pipelines? I understand that a conventional strike with an army is never going to happen, but there are many other options.

I would love an app which rates all my photos and then allows me to sort by aesthetic. I have 10’s of thousands of photos, most of which are garbage, but the good ones, I rarely notice when scrolling through them.
