this is exactly what netanyahu wanted, drag the US into war

yeah the tea weirdly overpowers coffee easily

cheeky to put the bohdana in the headline image but not directly mention it in article lol

I think the fundamental problem is that if you do this consistently enough the enemy will assume their AT warhead will be detonated just off the hull by some kind of screen, which if I understand high explosive antitank physics (think RPG) correctly can actually be… better for penetrating armor (a HEAT warhead creates a super heated concentrated jet and a bit of space for it to form isn’t necessarily bad depending on details) .

It becomes a psychological thing too I think.

In general, one can expect cage armor or RPG screens to turn only some incoming rounds into duds, or otherwise prevent the explosive from forming a proper shaped-charge jet. If that works, even an RPG full of technically “detonated” explosives that splatter against the vehicle in glops and bang/burn, probably isn’t going to do much damage. Preventing a properly formed shaped charge jet involves a lot of specific science, math, and engineering; suffice to say that there are a number of approaches, and that this is a popular field for additional research.

The offense is also busy, of course. New RPG designs are introducing 2-stage tandem warheads, whose 1-2 punch makes many attempts at passive defense much more difficult. Meanwhile, cage armors will continue to be a popular defensive option against the most prevalent single-warhead RPG threats.

is that like like a Moray?

“I said I was a newt, I got b—”

how many bags of popcorn can we eat before the other half panic, pivot hard or go out of business?

Oh sorry I thought this was a Windows 11 jet for some reason I think these are still running Windows Phone tho

Did it start updating mid flight or something?

Term? Are you serious? It is a metaphor, honestly the fact that you can’t tell the difference between similes and analogs makes me really concerned about your ability to make your broader point even though this conversation I am roping you into has nothing to do with this unnecessarily specific and overly involved tangent that doesn’t actually challenge the fundamental basis of your argument…

edit before you can cleverly respond I am going to pre-emptively be clever about that clever thing so I will just look even more clever so don’t bother but also you have to respond that is just the etiquette of internet arguments FYI

TL;DR blah blah blah blah blah blah

ok but this is like reddit my job is to find the most narrow, tangential thing wrong with what OP says and bikeshed about it

Well it keeps happening because the military acts like it knows on an institutional level how to shape someone who will fight tooth and nail and use every tool at their disposal (even if it doesn’t exist yet and they have to invent the necessary tools themselves) and the rest of society worryingly falls in line about it. Militaries all throughout history have proven exhaustively that their very structure and institutional values primarily promote rule followers who are catastrophically ill-equipped to operate in an environment of rapidly changing rules and evolving tactics.

No, if the militaries of the world actually gave a shit about this good improvisational comedy/theater teachers would all be on the payroll of various different defense agencies and would frequently be retraining military personnel about how war actually works.

You know what is better than everyone having radios and being in constant contact that risks jamming or interception by Electronics Warfare units? Go watch a good live improv show, you will see.

Every large war is a forced remembering that the kinds of people who obsess over the aesthetics and planning of war are wasting time forgetting how one actually fights a war when push comes to shove.

The primary thing good improv teachers help you do is understand intimately the necessary power of acting on instinct the instant something disturbs the status quo to retain initiative while also recognizing being able to step back and let the situation organically resolve itself is winning and ultimately your job is to facilitate those conditions.

A playground designed for a nursing home but actually good.

Maybe have a boxing station for bone health, a pool for low impact body movement and a kids playground in the corner to help keep the adults feeling safe and connected to their community by seeing the next generation running around laughing, screaming and having fun.

no thank you :)

This is such a clear example of how Russia is losing badly here, if I was Russia the PRIMARY thing I would defend with full size AA missile systems meant to shoot down fighterbombers are UAV command posts…

It isn’t how stupid, ignorant or uneducated people in government are, those are all foibles I can accept as part of people being human, it is the violent response to the very concept of a spontaneous joyful curiosity to learn and know new things while letting them be, that I cannot.

They are hours long and skipping around I literally can’t find any accusations of actual substance.

How about you put it into your own specific words and help me out?

You haven’t had positive experiences with ex-military (usually male) managers? How many of those have you had?

Too many and most of them elected themselves to be leaders in situations I was in because they foolishly but decisively believed they were going to have to take charge in order for things to happen.

Honestly these games are fun, but lately I have been playing Operation Harsh Doorstop (a free steam game, works on linux/steam deck) and flying the attack helis (ohd vehicle overhaul workshop mod) in singleplayer bot matches and the rush is too good to go back to arcade helicopters if they aren’t equally as destructive.

It is a blast covering your AI troops while they capture points and fight back the enemy, it feels like 70% of what Armor Alley always wished it could be lol.

The physics aspect of this game looks fun! Honestly the core gameplay loop of Cleared Hot looks really tight, looking forward to trying it!

What exactly makes his opinions and views extremist?
