I would say that’s the end goal. Destabilize society enough to justify a stronger police state. Again, suffering is the goal for everybody that isn’t them. They aren’t looking to make the average American’s life better, just their donors and their own.

The cage is supposed to detonate the heat round (which both the rpg and javelin have to some extent) prior to impacting the actual armor. There’s usually a shaped charge in the round and a stand off with the primer in it that ignites the round at the convergence point of the shaped charge. If you set that off prior to the round hitting the armor it’ll just splatter against the armor rather than penetrate it. Some weapons have a tandem charge, that has two shaped charges to help it get through ERA or I imagine cope cages.

Man, those guys are good. Looks like they line up a perfect shot to hit where the turret joins the hull.

Stop threatening and do it. If it was anybody else it would have already happened. It’s theater at this point.

I agree, if the point had been we didn’t have enough energy storage at the grid scale to accommodate the excess power I would agree with that. Instead, it points out the price.

As others have said, you can’t passively bypass GNSS jamming. The signal more or less has the same amount of power as a 60 watt light bulb, transmitted from a satellite out in Medium Earth Orbit. You throw enough energy at the same frequency as the signal and it’s over. There are ways to improve the receivers resilience by giving it more signals to connect to (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) or several signals being transmitted by the same constellation (L1, L2, L5).

Also, many different systems occupy pretty much the same frequencies, just with different characteristics which makes all the signals more susceptible.

Unfortunately an appeals court reduced the bond.

The whole purpose of the log is to help the vehicle get through mud. Here’s a short video: Russian Logs

Maybe I’m less principled than the rest of you, but regardless of drm or anti-cheat, this game is the most fun I’ve had with a group of friends. I’ve found the game playable with a few glitches here and there, but that hasn’t prevented me from having a great time.

I hate this timeline. How do we make so much progress only to stumble when the idiots are hung up on fake issues to an extent that they’re willing to fundamentally change the country.

It is entirely their purpose, but you will never know about it publicly. Everything related to space is classified to the highest degree at this point in time.

It starts out super concentrated and spreads out at a 35-45 degree angle from the end of the gun tube and becomes less concentrated the further out it gets. There’s a chance it wouldn’t hit somebody a hundred meters out but anybody left would get hit with the coaxial mounted machine gun.

Nah, you’re not crazy. This round has 2048 ball bearings in it that are effective out to 300 meters.

Imagine how much further we would be as a society if we didn’t have to deal with this stupid shit.

We should have reconstructed harder…

There’s no pressure until we either stop exporting weapons, or limit it to iron dome projectiles.

That’s bullshit and a cop-out. Every country in NATO joined willingly because every country should have some level of self-determination. NATO grew because decade after decade, the Russian government proved that they act in bad faith in nearly every interaction with the international community.

Maybe if Russia acted in good faith and was willing to be a partner in the region, neighboring countries wouldn’t have felt the need to join NATO, but here we are.

Pacifism doesn’t work. We’ve seen it time and time again that it just buys our adversaries time, and we end up where we’re at today.

This isn’t real, right? RIGHT!?

The crazy thing is that the Air Force, Army, and just about every other branch of the military has contracted or is looking to contract with Space X to get Starlink. He doesn’t have a problem with providing the US with that capability because we’re not in direct conflict, but will deny it to ukraine when it’s in Russia’s favor.

After this I, I would totally re-look those agreements.
