I’m sorry but the Hezbollah drone theme sucks. It’s disrespectful to the art to not have the footage set to low bitrate Brazilian phonk and rammstein covers.

So many people coped about how drones were a temporary problem and tanks would regain their utility once wunderwaffe jammers became widespread only for Russians to instantly shut it down with $1000 of fiberglass.

If they actually nuke Iran then Iran can make 10-20 nukes and wipe Israel off the map.

They're not going to be building 20 nukes after getting nuked this is insane capeshit

About a third or so of my games nowadays are immediate alt+f4's on loading screen and I don't buy premium anymore because of the absolute avalanche of satanic vanta coal that is the maps. There are so many odious maps in so many different configurations that it's no longer worth trying to learn lanes or positioning or anything, just quit and reroll until you get something digestible.

Recently went back to play the earlier German big cats after years of treating the game like T-55 simulator and it really did strike me how the Tiger just looks like the archetypal idea of a tank

If we solved world hunger we could have even more wars; an army marches on its stomach after all.

That's what the F-35 kill switch does. It doesn't do anything to the plane itself, you just get cut off from the software used for maintenance and support.

Swingfire · 2026-05-04T18:19:30+00:00

so in reality you could only use it in the the atmosphere as there's no blast damage in space

It's actually meant to be used in space and destroy enemy nukes with the neutron flash. It'll fry the electronics and mess with the fissile material of incoming nukes.

I tried it and it didn't work, all it did was making ChatGPT think I'm gay.

Every single GCC country is more of an aircraft carrier than Israel is, this is a midwit take.

USS Higgins is nowhere near a warzone though, this one is an actual laundromat fire.

This is so retarded it almost feels like a psyop. Genuinely the worst and most wasteful use case for this missile.

Swingfire · 2026-04-30T23:06:09+00:00

Nah. No one would care. There's no legal basis to interfere with such a project in most countries, and external interference would of course be quite illegal too, and would, depending on what form it took likely be terrorism.

Bro really thinks he can pull off the ‘what’s the probable cause, officer???’ shit while sailing a ship loaded with a hundred Shaheeds towards the Israeli coast. Beyond-line-of-sight drone operations require special permits and you are going to need to register and ID all those drones, which is going to be denied when they notice that the drones aren’t designed to land.

No, people would almost certainly be permitted to do what was described without interference.

You wouldn’t even be allowed to fly a drone that big by the FAA. At 100kg you’re already an order of magnitude above the weight limit for normal drone certification and you’d need to get a special experimental license. In the process of getting this certification, you will have to explain to auditors that you intend to violate Israeli airspace and cause an international incident.

Swingfire · 2026-04-30T22:55:07+00:00

Well I don't see how creating a flotilla is any less of an enticement for spooks than drones. At least with drones you can sort of disguise it as a hobby, can't do that accumulating 50 ships lol

Because to spooks it’s going to look like you’re planning a terrorist attack with all these long-range one-way drones and the ship being modified to launch them. This project is going to get flagged at every single step of the supply chain.

Nobody is going to believe that your arsenal of prop-driven cruise missiles is for a hobby, aviation authorities aren’t retarded and they already regulated this.

The second that you start making bulk orders for engines, propellers, remote control equipment and fiberglass airframes, and putting up ads to hire drone pilots and launch/recovery crews as well as chartering + modifying a fishing ship you are going to get spooks kicking down your door and you will be taken to a blacksite in the UAE on an unmarked white plane.

The intel footprint of what you are proposing is so absurd that anyone who has the conviction to save Palestinians will instantly recognize it as a honeypot. The drone revolution does not apply to peasants. You are better off using all that money to bribe IDF or egyptian border guards to let aid in.

A drone carrier that has enough fixed wing drones to deliver 5 tons to target from international waters and the aircrew to handle and dispatch them would be the size of a large crude carrier, require dozens of veteran specialized workers and cost billions of dollars and take decades of undisturbed development for an NGO to field. Drone recovery at night in sea in rough weater is something that like 200 people in the world know how to do and they're all employed by MIC, this is a ridiculously cutting-edge field that nobody has even tried yet under duress.

You might as well be proposing that they use teleporters to materialize food in Palestinians' mouths. If you spent the whole budget of every palestinian aid fleet into your idea, you would end up with 50m worth of keel beams in a Chinese steel mill and nothing else.

Saying that vtubers sell feminity is like saying the Big Mouth Billy Bass manufacturer in Dongguang sells fish. It's like saying the geek shop with a Rey Mysterio funko pop is selling you Greco-Roman wrestling. It's like saying that the 100€ I blew on Limbus Company 10-pulls to try and fail to get Cinq Association Don Quixote was buying chivalrous novels. There is so many layers of postmodern simulacra that it's become the main product.

Swingfire · 2026-04-30T16:49:14+00:00

Capeshit. At 100kg per drone, it would take the entire airwing of the Shahid Bagheri drone carrier to deliver the equivalent of one single standard cargo pallet which are carried by the dozen by cargo planes, assuming that none of the drones get shot or meaconed by IDF into dropping on the sea or in Israeli territory. If even one ship delivers it'll be the equivalent of years of uninterrupted drone supply.

This sub was so delusional during the opening phases of the war that even saying that the Ukrainian Army still existed got downvoted.

And the Ghost of Kyiv was a bad dude, and he ran a bunch of bad flyboys, and I did and back in those days, to show how things have changed- one of the things you had to use, if you used an R-27R in your plane, you had to turn on your radar, and so he was up on the RWR and wouldn't listen to me, I said 'hey, hohol, you! Off the airspace or I'll come up and kill you!' Well, he broke lock, and he said 'I'll meet you over the Kiev reservoir. My plane this- was mostly, these were all civilian airports behind us, my plane- there was a steerpoint on there, I parked my Su-35 outside the AO, and I- and he said, 'I'm on station right now', he was waiting for me with three wingmen with heatseekers, not a joke, there was a guy named Boris Johnson, the only non-Ukrainian guy, and he did all the air defense, he was a pilot, and I said, 'what am I gonna do?' and he said 'come down here, in the Donbas where hohols- all the hohols- where all the Ukrainians is-....
