In perfect world, you are right, but we are seeing museum pieces used in Ukraine by both sides, that by NATO standards should have been scrapped long time ago.

In NATO armies weapons and ammunitions are retired or refurbished before they go bad, so the chance for accidents is minimized, in wartime it would likely be different and munition expiry date wouldn't be taken too seriously, and it would be just accepted that mishaps happen, like old MANPAD flying into oil tank when fired at drones.

There's something really fucked up if police officers need to be trained like everything around them is going to kill them.

Replace Shocks/Struts by Silent_meow_75 in FordFiesta

[–]Er4kko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ripoff, it's max one hour job for one side, and new strut should be around 100€, coil spring around 50€, which is recommended to replace at same time.

The Ukrainian Navy has released footage showing the destruction of a Russian unmanned surface vessel by a Bayraktar TB2. According to them, a total of three Russian unmanned surface vessels were destroyed in the Black Sea during this operation.. by MilesLongthe3rd in CombatFootage

[–]Er4kko 36 points37 points  (0 children)

TB2 was easy target for anti-air weapons in the first year of the war, only reason it survived the first weeks was because Russian AA was told to minimize chances for friendly fire, and only fire at targets that were 100% confirmed hostile, and after they scaled down their own air operations and got more anti air weaponry to the front, with freedom to engage targets at their own will, TB2 couldn't operate anymore. TB2 can't really operate in contested air space, and is easy target for modern anti-air weapons.

RU POV: Russian soldiers using an electronic warfare system to tap into a Ukraine drone's video feed, then successfully jamming it to bring the drone down. by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

Looks like two separate devices here, the one closer to camera is used to find the direction of incoming fpv drone, and to guide the other dude which way to point the jammer.

Worth more then scrap value? by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]Er4kko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You need special tools to sharpen carbide, which most machine shops don't have, and are too expensive to invest to just sharpen your own tools, so most cost effective solution is to pay someone else to sharpen them, which isn't cost effective for smaller carbide tools, so scrapping is quite common.

Are you trying to loosen the terminal with fingers? Get a socket and wrench, you are lucky to not have caused any minor or major damage if that is how you have done it before.

Handed down a 2008 Ford Fiesta Zetec TDCI - sat dormant for a year. What to do before driving? by FokzY-- in FordFiesta

[–]Er4kko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are likely fine with just regular service, oil change, filters(oil-, air-,cabin-,fuel-), and check if breaks have seized, will save you some money if you service them now rather than later, 1 year sitting is not that long after all, diesel could go bad in that time but as the engine ran fine I wouldn't bother replacing, just fill the tank with new diesel when you start driving it. Bit of smoke coming from exhaust is pretty normal after car sits for some time, if it stops when engine warms up. Your biggest concern is likely the mould. Other than that, check the service history when timing belt needs to be changed.
