All you need is a cheap, yet precise drone with a small explosive charge taped to it, and you can disrupt the enemies supply of ammunition and personell. Now build 5 million of those drones and launch several swarm attacks to overwhelm their air defenses. Russia wouldn't stand a chance.
Saying Ukraine wouldn't win if not hindered by the US is ridiculous. The US is the reason this war is still costing thousands of lives each week.
Now you're just lying. The technical term is crowd work, and if the comedian isn't doing it, they're piss poor comedians.
Guessing you've never watched a stand up comedian before? That is literally what they do.
#32 seriously, you saw Paris when the renovation workers went on strike? It took exactly one week for the entire city to look like New York.
Renovation workers are true heroes.
I mean, your body looks better, but your face looks healthier in the first one.
You're probably gonna live longer, but make time to enjoy yourself as well. Otherwise, those extra years aren't really worth it.
That, or "I'm doing some kind of open carry march". There is no logical application to this dumbfoolery.
Exactly. Given that he's wearing that setup in a bodega getting a bagel, we have to assume that he's afraid of getting scratch marks on his mags. So we can assume his primary weapon isn't subjected to harsh environments, and thus the chance of it failing will be minimal. If he's the nervous type, a backup ankle piece might have made sense.
But 4 guns, like this? This just screams "I will not be using any of these guns in any useful manner if anything happens."
As a guy that does IPSC(USPSA), what this guy is doing is just stupid. You never need more than 2 guns, and the more you add, the more restricted your movement becomes.
How does Israel fit into this?
#17 get a flexible one made of rubber instead of hard plastic. It all upsides:
For physics reason I only vaguely understand, the water just doesn't want to spill. You'll have to try if you want to spill it on the floor.
Much easier to just pop out the one or two cubes you want - no banging against the counter needed.
You're using too hot water. Showing in water that is too hot will 1: make you sweat like a mf the second you step out of the shower, and 2: wash away the oil your skin needs to stay naturally moisturised.
Seriously, stop boiling yourselves, it's bad for you. Keep it just hot enough to be comfortable.
If it's a polar bear, you better have a rifle, or you're dead.
That's why it's illegal to leave city limits in the polar bear part of Norway without a big gun.
Honestly, cowboy is the only peaceful occupation, and imd done getting pointed at stuff a foreign president needs for a photo op. Working cattle is wholesome.
Blow up your own shit, the desert wasn't where I wanted to do something meaningful.
This is likely one of the differences between non-functioning UK and US, vs Scandinavia or Germany.
The UK and US refuses to acknowledge when they messed up, and they're all going ro shit.
Scandinavia is like "you know what? Sorry we absolutely ravaged you all so hard that even Italian Americans want to imitate us, that was wrong, were trying to do better."
You'll never improve if you can't admit to your shortcomings.
Not saying it's the drones I'm talking about, I'm just saying that it's definitely not the very jammable hobby drones you seem to think they are. Neither one of us can presume to know even 10% of what the Ukranians are doing right now, they take OPSEC seriously over there.
What makes you think they haven't been working on it for months already? I mean, I hope you don't presume to know everything that goes on in the secret drone factories in Ukraine? Or that Ukraine would even tell anyone if they had already made these drones?
Seems they made successful drone strikes in Moscow quite frequently already, you have to wonder how they got them that close considering distance and jamming?
"Are, are, are"
You keep ignoring the 300 billion dollars Europe is about to Ukraine to make it happen.
Any time there is a great war, technology does a huge leap into the future. You're stuck on this "it doesn't exist NOW", while I'm trying to tell you that all the parts you need does exist, someone just needs the will and financial backing to combine them.
And again, you're wrong. We put it in the NSM, although with a thermal imager, rather than optical one. Normal optical recognition has gotten so good in the last three years that you can do it continuously with a cellphone for an hour or two.
You're making it sound like this tech hasn't skyrocketed the last 3 years. It's everywhere now, you use it every time you open your damn iPhone.
#7 THIS is the bad place!
Btw, TERCOM is Terrain Contour Matching.
The basic idea is that you upload a 3D map of the earth to the missile/drone, and put a camera on it. The missile/drone will then constantly compare what it's seeing against the 3D map, and it will know exactly where on earth it is without relying on GPS or other input. That way you can't disrupt the data link or scramble the GPS.
Keep in mind, all of this tech already exists. We use TERCOM in Tomahawks and NSMs to make them jam-proof. You have facial rec on your iphone, China, Hungary and the US already uses it against large crowds of protestors. The only missing step is to put these existing things in a cheap recreational drone with a grenade taped to the front.
We can make these things in a month if we want to. Just saying.
These will be useless in a year.
All you need is to put better lenses on the drone, a crude radar or lidar for altitude measurement, install TERCOM software, upload a database of targets and let AI/facial recognition do it's thing.
The drone will not need any form of communication after takeoff and can operate autonomously. Any sort of jammers will be useless. You'd need to shoot them down or set off an EMP.
Batteries maybe? Better batteries to allow them to loiter for longer periods of time? More efficient propellers?
Missiles are expensive, can't loiter, and they need to know what they're aiming for before you launch them. Which requires launchers and intelligence
A drone can be told to go to a particular area, and then start looking for indexed targets within a geofenced area. Supply lines, depots, command structures, you name it.
Automation isn't just coming for your job. It's coming for you.
Now for the math: the drones are already effective. All you need is mass production and added software.
Today, Ukraine spends about $500 per drone.
If they were to spend half of those 300 billion dollars on R&D to put already existing software into their existing drones, they'd still have 150 billion dollars to make drones.
If the upgrades (software, maybe a better lens?) were to raise the cost of each drone by 6,000%, they'd still be able to afford 5 million drones.
This is what I mean. Your arguments hinge on there not being any research and development done even if given a budget of 300 billion dollars.
They've already made the drones smarter and more jamming-resistant. If you give them 300 billion dollars to develop it further, everything will change.
TERCOM is already in mass production elsewhere. It makes GPS obsolete. AI can pick out targets with ease.
The future is now, old man.
See, you're still living in the past.
You don't need GPS, or any communication with the drone what so ever. It can be a closed system. You equip it with TERCOM, load it up with a database of enemy equipment and targets to look for, and add any basic imaging recognition software. That way you just tell it where you want it to go, and then to look for targets in that area. There is no need for 1- or 2-way communication, so it will be unjammable.
This guy is so funny 😂
Yep, this was before they had enough dessert uniforms to go around.
I love how they went to war in the dessert with woodland patterns.

Now imagine putting more money into that drone program than the US ever put into the F-35 program.
You're stuck in the late 90s/early 20's, while Ukraine out here fighting like Skynet. You don't need heavy equipment in a short range land war like this anymore, you just need better drones. 300 billion dollars will make a lot of fancy drones with the range to effectively hunt priority targets hundreds of miles into Russian territory.
Uh-huh. So if you had been paying attention, you'd notice that war has changed. They don't need jets and tanks to deliver heavy payloads.
They need anti-air, effective ATGMs, and proper funding to exponentially increase production and R&D for their drones.
At this point, without air superiority, I wouldn't wanna be the US Army pitted up against Ukraine. No one dares to breath on the battlefield in fear of being spotted by an FPV drone with an RPG round taped to the front.
