Based on intelligence, IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year. These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. Simultaneously, the IDF struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran.
Another small win for Right to Repair. While this specific instance isn’t far-reaching, it is part of an overall trend that is increasingly favoring the consumer and small businesses.
Yeah, if you are using an AI for emotional support of any kind, you are in for a bad, bad time.
B&H and Home Depot have been two solid services for things they sell. Former is computers and photography. Both of them ship pretty damn fast.
Honestly, what convinced me to start using them was how increasingly difficult it is to get quality items on Amazon. Sifting through garbage gets old fast.
People also are increasingly realizing that Ubisoft games are all very bland and…the same. People enjoyed it the first time, but why buy a new AC game when you already have essentially the same thing in you library already?
Ah, the good 'ol: you have three options, choose two!
Though, not paying annually for multiplayer access certainly helps with the financial ruin problem. ;p
Highly, highly recommend using GOG. Buying is owning. There is no DRM and they even provide offline installers for the games you buy.
But they updated the terms of use and apparently now, stating that buying is not owning
This has always been the case for Steam and every other service that isn’t GOG.
‘Whelp, guess it’s that time’
Jump over to PC and choose both 140fps and quality. ;p
I’m at least happy we are past the era of ‘the human eye can only see 30fps’.
Biden needs to green-light the Ukrainian use of western weapons on targets inside Russia. The US is still tying Ukraine’s hands in the third year of this war! If Russia didn’t want to be shot at, they should not have invaded. This has gone on for much too long.
How dare Ukrainians not want to checks notes be genocided by their much larger neighbor!
SK has mostly kept from supplying Ukraine. Closest they have gotten is selling shells to the US to open up more US shells to go to Ukraine. I could see SK changing their stance about supplying Ukraine over this.
Yep! Basically everyone is up with the exception of Russia and Switzerland. Russia has no spare capacity for exports and Switzerland immolated their military sector when they informed their partners they cannot send Swiss military equipment to war.
Perun did a great video on this: Global Arms Exports - Winners, losers & trends in the race to rearm
There are jobs that take weeks to learn, jobs that take years to learn, and there are even jobs that take a decade+ to learn. You ain’t putting the three-week old newbie in the latter two roles.
looks at the ever dwindling Soviet stockpiles and hundreds of thousands of Russian casualties
Well, I’m not confident enough to say Ukraine is winning, but Russia sure as fuck isn’t either.
It amazes me at the start of the war, me and just about everyone else thought Russia had this in the bag. Crimean invasion 2.0. Now Russia is struggling to dislodge Ukrainians from Russian territory and shit deep inside Russia blows up on the regular.
I’m damn happy to support Ukraine and am doubly happy my government is supporting them as well.
My guess is they will be compartmentalized to their own unit(s), with dual speakers coordinating with Russian units/leadership. Though, like you say, there probably aren’t very many of those, so these units will be particularly at risk if their rare dual speaker gets taken out. They could probably mitigate this a bit by having dual speakers in safer locations one tier up the command chain.
This all assumes they will be in front-line roles. It is possible they will get assigned to safer duties, freeing up Russian soldiers to go to the front.
It’s good these are being made. One of the big downsides of the traditional cruise missile are they are expensive. Which means making them at industrial scale burns though quite a few resources. In many cases, having 10x-20x lower capability drones will do the job better.
Obviously you still want the high-capability cruise missiles for more difficult targets. But it’s very good the west is producing the cheaper ones in volume too!
This is really more of a !asklemmy@lemmy.ml question. But, to answer it, no, you will need a friend willing to trade with you or an exchange service to do an exchange. Side note, they want ID info from you because there are tax implications when you sell capital goods. After a threshold, they report those capital sales to your government’s tax office.
Yeah, it is one of the few sources on military matters that know what they are talking about, are able to explain how systems work to the reader, and cite their sources. Been one of the few places I go check for the news myself.
Peter Zeihan also provides excellent geopolitical analysis.
