I think if you don’t focus on the jargon its easier, e.g. people talk about specific models of weapon or radar or whatever, but all you really need to know about a radar is that some are better at detecting things and some are better at tracking things (locking on), while fancier ones can detect and track multiple things at the same time.

If you don’t want to worry about THAAD in terms of the jargon, you can “translate” it into that its a missile system that is designed to shoot other missiles down before they can hit what they want to hit. The “terminal high altitude” part just means it tries to do this at the last part of the other missile’s flight, right around when the warhead is starting to make its descent.

Ur so real for that but also these datacenters are gonna fuck up global south communities too.

Instead of AI, consider searching up the terms and then reading for 18 hours straight as you go down a Wikipedia/defense forum hyperfixation rabbit hole. You will come out the other end still not knowing how the hell they got aesa radar to work but at least you don’t poison the water of a small town in Arizona with every prompt.

i’ve never played umineko i just think this is the closest i can get to six seven

Well also these systems aren’t 100% reliable, we’ve seen plenty of failures of MAWS on the Su-25s in the Ukraine war, granted that’s likely an older less advanced implementation, but sometimes you get (un)lucky.

This should not ever happen but Russian commanders insist on using their attack helicopters as mobile MLRS to loft rockets that are too small and inaccurate to do anything.

Osint people are saying it’s likely the new Azarakhsh system which mounts AIM-9 copies to the back of a truck. It does make sense, a relatively small explosion that damaged but didn’t take down the plane, and we can see the plane wasn’t maneuvering which meant the radar warning system was not triggered implying infrared tracking.

Even though he can speak English I’m sure he’s glad he uses an interpreter so at least there’s a filter in between.

We’re seeing unconfirmed footage of Shahed-238s now which is the jet powered version. I guess they really were using old stock until now.

Some guy on bilibili will make a hype video about the PLA and its always reported as “The Chinese have increased military propaganda in an aggressive posture change” or some shit as if everyone in China shares a hivemind.

Looking at the composition and equipment of the Lebanese military, its not like they can really put up much of a fight, they’ve been purposely kept weak and without advanced weapons systems.

At this point you have to wonder if they truly think this is the best option when between a rock and a hard place. I think we have to accept that the Kurdish nationalists in the region are just aiming for a Kurdish israel at this point and that any Communist tendencies were excised many years ago.

Comrade Kim, press the button.

People on the outside truly don’t understand how restrained the CPC is and has been regarding Japan. If Japan starts shit I don’t think the party can hold Chinese people back, the resentment that has been kept in check by generally decent relations (until recently) will boil over to the extent that if the CPC doesn’t start carpet bombing Japan that they will be overthrown by vengeful nationalists.

For 2., the AFU do a fine job of that themselves: using them as cannon fodder, not helping them when they’re wounded, racism and hazing, and the aforementioned not paying their guys.

Westerners do seem to have a view of China that’s stuck in the 1960s in terms of politics and 1980s in terms of development. Hence the insane cope when people present them with images of even 3rd tier Chinese cities.

Well at least they’re good for helicopters, but they won’t arrive in time for the planned invasion at this point anyways.

Anything but monoculture grass lawns inimical to all natural life are anti american and an affront to your HOA council.

Notice the distinct lack of “D” after the U.
