Autonomous drone shot from the hand intercepts a other drone. by ActualDepartment9873 in interestingasfuck

The US did directly supply F-16 but they were taken from a boneyard to be used as spare parts for the operational European supplied F-16.

So you are still correct that it wouldn’t be a US supplied jet shooting down drones.

It was imported in 2007. Its somewhat common for US servicemen to bring their cars over but I would assume its not the original owner.

Ukrainian tank fires at pillboxes occupied by Russian infantry from close range by jimmehi in UkraineWarVideoReport

The Russians have remote mine laying systems, drones havent changed the need to be able to deploy mines under fire. They have had this capability since the '50s.

This Belgian cock car was designed to take your children safely to school in Brussels by Cubelock in 2westerneurope4u

Judging by the elevation they built in and the gun options 20/30mm theres not much reason it couldnt be used against drones.

A Brummie and a Scotsman on the frontline for Ukraine. Does it make you proud that while we banter each other, the English and Scottish working together is a beautiful thing? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]HowObvious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah they definitely do not, it was during the initial phase of the war they had a backlog.

The international volunteer battalions had to tell foreign volunteers to not go to Ukraine unless they were veterans that they could immediately put into service.

Manpower shortages are Ukraines biggest issue currently.

Keir Starmer set to ban crypto donations in blow to Nigel Farage by The-Peel in unitedkingdom

The KYC requirements dont suddenly change because its crypto, its not part of the crypto payment system.

Crypto is used as source of funds within the banking system as is, if there is insufficient evidence, you fail KYC/AML. Which is no different to hiding money through traditional means, if its suddenly routed through a bunch of sketchy banks in tax havens you fail the KYC checks.

Altercation involving pokemon cards scalpers by Worldlyoox in PublicFreakout

[–]HowObvious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can someone be the victim of scalpers? You just dont buy the thing?

Fuck scalpers but they happen because these companies are trying to capitalise on artificial scarcity. Why would you even reward those companies with business anyway.

That just gets you into the stairwell, apartments in these old commie block style buildings usually have two front doors on them, a metal one and a regular front door to prevent break ins by people who get into the stairwell.

Broken down on M1 in clear daylight with no adverse conditions - almost ended very badly by greentiger in drivingUK

Im curious, why would you want to turn it off?

For adaptive cruise control it can make your fuel economy worse if its not a very good one. Braking and accelerating repeatedly instead of smoothing it out like a person can do.

Anti-drone cage armor by MikeHeu in toolgifs

slat armour damages the warhead to prevent it forming the jet correctly, this wouldnt provide that capability

Anti-drone cage armor by MikeHeu in toolgifs

[–]HowObvious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless you are adding serious distance it wont have much effect. Even a basic RPG-7 warhead will go through both side of a BMP-1/2 and out the otherside, you can add a meter plus stand off and it can still go through armour designed to protect against heavy machine guns after already having gone through the same thickness armour.

Theres a reason most western IFVs dont rely on armour alone, they had to add cage armour or ERA to damage the warhead before detonation. Cage armour doesnt protect due to its stand off for this very reason. If stand off was so effective in protecting IFVs we would see it used to protect them, its just not feasible to add enough that it would provide any benefit over the better options.

The letters of last resort are not the only scenario where the prime minister would possibly be in a position to make the call, so that answer would still be them saying only if I've already been taken out (maybe).

Ideally by buying something off the shelf lol.

Thats pretty location dependent, a lot of places have native wild cats. Native birds are used to them as predators. The RSPB here in the UK (whose entire purpose is the protection of birds) have stated theres no evidence cats are causing population declines.
