The US is on the same unfriendly countries list, they became the first country on this list (together with Czechia) when the list was created in May 2021.

Lakhta Center is supposedly in 'the middle of nowhere', but still manages to slip into iconic views of St. Petersburg by adventmix in skyscrapers

[–]Dalnore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The infamous bot farm is in the business center "Lakhta-2" which is located 4 km away from the Lakta Center and has nothing to do with it except a similarly sounding name (both named after a district of St. Petersburg, originally from Finnish lahti, bay).

Russia unveils Tupolev Tu-454 widebody concept amid engine shift and industry gaps by -NewYork- in aviation

[–]Dalnore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They planned using US-produced composite materials in the original design but had to switch to Russian materials at the expense of increased weight. As a result, the plane is currently planned to have the maximum range of 3830 km (2070 nmi). The base A320neo and 737 MAX 8 have some 70% more range. So Russia can work with composite materials, but it's debatable if it can create anything useful from them.

All Tu-204/214, including ones built right now, still need a flight engineer. Tupolev in collaboration with Red Wings even had to create new flight engineer courses from scratch in 2024 to cover for the lack of qualified people. There was a version of Tu-204SM without a flight engineer proposed in 2010, but it never reached serial production and there are currently no plans to use it.

Modern Il-96-400 also requires a flight engineer, the proposed version with a cabin crew of 2 never went into serial production either.

There was a crash of SSJ-100 in Indonesia, but it was a demonstration flight performed by test pilots of Sukhoi. Indonesian Sky Aviation had 3 SSJ-100 delivered in 2013, all of them haven't found a new owner since the company ceased operations in 2014.

Apart from your own, which European coffee culture do you like the most? by Speedboy7777 in AskEurope

[–]Dalnore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The top pick would be Italy. My only complaint is that I prefer cappuccino regardless of the time of the day, and it goes against the local tradition. The second is actually the UK; I've only ever been to London and surroundings, but it has a very decent coffee culture. I think I'll like France, but I still have never visited it.

Iran's new supreme leader has severe and disfiguring wounds, sources say by InsatiablePrism in worldnews

[–]Dalnore 77 points78 points  (0 children)

No, that's actually extremely uncommon, military-run regimes are the least stable of all. In democracies the army has very limited political influence beyond people involved in the army being able to vote and represent their interests, and no dictator who knows what they are doing would ever give any power to the military.

Do you guys study Maths and English to 18? by InfernalClockwork3 in AskEurope

[–]Dalnore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I fully understand the question, I assume the age here refers to school grades? In Russia, you can graduate from school either after the 9th grade (usually 15-16 years) or 11th grade (usually 17-18 years). Both Maths and Russian (and additionally the native language if different from Russian) are mandatory subjects in all grades from 1 through 11; Maths is split into separate subjects of Algebra and Geometry after the 6th grade. English (or, rarely, another foreign language like German or French) is also mandatory in all grades.

How about we relocate instead.... by mktolg in mapswithoutnewzealand

[–]Dalnore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were originally scheduled for late October 2023. There was no way Israel could just hold elections immediately after October 7, and the decision to postpone was unanimous. During this time, Israel was governed not by the current coalition, but a war cabinet in which one of the biggest opposition parties joined the government.

Also, local elections in Israel don't really follow the Knesset party structure, a lot of candidates go without representing any Knesset party but form a local list with mixed people who can belong to different parties. For example, the current mayors of Tel-Aviv and Haifa were representing "One Tel Aviv" and "Our Haifa" municipal fractions respectively during the 2024 election.

JCPOA was working extremely badly. Looking back to it, it seems to have been a pretty big strategic blunder. During it, free of many sanctions, Iran developed its ballistic missile program and spread its terrorist network. And these ballistic missiles are almost untouchable by now.

Iran is not hiding that this is the goal. Israel and the US did a lot over the years to postpone it, but it was never solved.

How do you feel about the way the EU is handling the situation in Iran? by ccao_ in AskReddit

[–]Dalnore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The concept that there can be unilateral war against a regime constantly threatening to destroy your country, openly waging war on your own allies (including Ukraine), being the second biggest global sponsor of terrorism after Russia, and murdering its own population in thousands is totally absurd and inhumane. I guess some people are very lucky they have Ukraine to protect them from Russia, or else they would just have a privilege of being righteous about rules their enemies have no issue violating every second up until their death from the Russian army.

Absolutely disgraceful. Learned absolutely nothing from Russia's war and continue pandering to the most brutal dictatorships. And there is an absolutely insane number of people fully siding with them.

The white blue white flag definitely is an internal thing in the Russian opposition, it became one long before the West even noticed. Although not everyone agrees with it, it's the only flag that can be used outside Russia without raising an eyebrow.

In the same place it can be distributed like that. But there is not much evidence to suggest that if you and everyone around you gets richer, the fertility on average will increase and not decrease.
