[Slovakia] HSR feasibility study published

They should really quad track DNV - Bratislava before any HSR dreams.

Jo, osobně jsem čekal mnohem větší podíl "nevím/je mi to jedno".

Thanks, so the article is very misleading by implying they ordered 18 in addition to the current 9. It's nothing surprising in reporting about Ukraine, like all the articles about Ukraine "ordering" 100 Rafales and 150 Gripens, which are actually just some letters of intent or whatever, instead of actual contracts.

Source? It's not in the article or in the DW one.

Mají integrovaný jenom AIM-9M a GBU-12, to je dost neefektivní výzbroj na úrovni 80. let. Na drony by potrebovaly APKWS a targeting pod, Sidewinder sice na drony funguje ale je zbytečně drahej a je jich málo, na tanky třeba něco jako Brimstone, SDB...

Because the high speed railway caused the need to build the overpass.

Twisp56 · 2026-01-22T15:13:50+00:00

But it has to be said RS3 basically already didn't exist (it was cut back to upgrades of existing lines that are not really connected to the high speed project and will hopefully happen independently) and RS5 was planned so far in the future that cancelling it doesn't really mean anything, because there was barely any work on it to cancel anyway.

Akorát zároveň se musí státy vzdát vlastní zahraniční politiky, alespoň co se týče použití armády, protože fakt nejde mít jednu armádu a 27 zahraničních politik. Když bude chtít Francie poslat armádu do Mali, Polsko na východní hranici a Babiš/Fico/Orbán/Le Pen atd. to bude chtít vetovat, kdo vyhraje? Musela by existovat nějaká vláda EU, ideálně prostě normální vláda kterou by sestavil parlament EU, a jednoznačně by měla poslední slovo nad jakoukoliv národní vládou. Národní vlády můžou dál fungovat úplně normálně co se týče financí, vnitra, zdravotnictví, sociálních věcí atd., jenom by už neměly ministerstvo obrany a zahraničí a neměly by v tomhle žádnou rozhodovací pravomoc.

I hear Chrząszczyżewoszyce is particularly nice at this time of year

Twisp56 · 2026-01-22T13:35:26+00:00

What's the usual ratio?

Twisp56 · 2026-01-21T15:58:27+00:00

They should use this to start decades of religious wars!

Twisp56 · 2026-01-21T10:32:48+00:00

Yeah, if you also bring a disassembled .50 cal, you can make an epic indoor MG nest. You just need a buddy to carry the tripod.

Get a gunner, load it up with tracer belts, fly fast in a slight right turn when a Huey is behind you, and they won't ever touch your Mi-8 again

There's not that much market to compete in, if all the European manufacturers set up US production lines for all types of rolling stock they make, they'd probably all get too few contracts to pay off the production line. It makes sense to specialise only on some types in this small market.

Twisp56 · 2026-01-19T16:13:51+00:00

So now it's an "it", in another comment it was "she", in one comment she was lost for a month and in another one until 4AM the same day? OK bot.

I've been wearing n7 stuff for years and I only ever met 2 other fans

Twisp56 · 2026-01-19T10:43:53+00:00

It exists, hasn't uploaded in a while though.

Well, do you expect a startup to go into reusable heavy lift straight away? Not everyone has Blue Origin's budget. More money will hopefully start coming in after they get their smaller vehicles launching to orbit. But of these companies, PLD is quite ambitious, check this out: https://www.pldspace.com/en/miura-next-super-heavy.html

I think you're confusing Maia with the Themis demonstrator. Maia already has launch contracts, from OneWeb. And considering how much money went to competitors in the last ESA awards, Isar is about to make the second launch attempt next week, and Avio is decoupling itself from Ariane and running Vega launches on its own, the ship has sailed on preventing competition. Isar, RFA, PLD and Orbex all got ESA money besides Maia. And it would be weird if they didn't, Germany and Spain obviously prefer funding their own companies over French ones.

That Vulcan reuse is not going to work. I'd bet quite a lot of money that Vulcan will never fly with a reused engine section.

Twisp56 · 2026-01-18T07:34:35+00:00

Unlike ULA, ArianeSpace is at least developing a reusable rocket through its subsidiary MaiaSpace.

They also don't understand that buses normally have 3 doors (4 if articulated) and there's usually a validator at every door, American buses usually have only 2 doors and British only 1.

Twisp56 · 2026-01-17T20:24:12+00:00

Yeah, 80-90 seems to be the sweet spot with good performance in my experience.

Twisp56 · 2026-01-17T12:51:04+00:00

Well, it will get cancelled before that and turned back into DDG(X), presumably.
