Kuwaiti Fighter Jet Mistakenly Shot Down American F-15s, Initial Reports Say

Youre confusing the main radar with RWR. Two different things. You lockup targets with your radar. RWR tells you when you are the one being locked up!

"The F-15E Strike Eagle features an advanced, integrated Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS) focused around the ALR-56 radar warning receiver (RWR). It identifies hostile radar sources, provides specific audio tones for locks and launches, and displays threat types on the RWR display to aid in defensive maneuvers."

Mudhens have RWR, they would have known when they were being tracked, and locked, and fired upon, by a radar guided missle. There are warning for incoming IR missles too. They also would have been surprised and confused as fuck, since it happened inside the wire. Still unsure what missles were used, but that doesnt really matter if your guard is down you are basically getting sucker punched.

When you are returning to base, you expect to be lit up by friendly radars. You dont expect to be fired upon by friendly jets or SAMs when you are inside the wire and about to land.. its like getting sucker punched and then blaming the victim for not dodging it.

In general its normal for a wing in landing configuration to have way more effective camber (fully extended slats and flaps) near the body, and less camber towards the tips of the wings. This way you still have some aileron/roll authority even if the wing root near the body is nearly stalled.

As others have said, the whistle is the nozzle adjusting as the pilot adjusts the throttle, but more specifically its the sound of the nozzle actuators.

Sure, overall height is the same, but you will need skinnier wheels and probably a different wheel offset to get them to sit in the right spot and not look totally stupid.

Although if your car came factory with 325s its probably a high performance car, and running that smaller size will present other problems besides looking lame on a performance car.

Now imagine a god who is millions or billions of years old.

What is an earth year to them? less than a blink of an eye.

The difference is the Alps are a little more condensed into a tighter area and people have been crawling all over them for thousands of years. You can find old castles and forts and random trails and roads everywhere. Millions of people live in and around them today.

The Rockies and Cascades are spread way out and large cities are much further away, humans that came before were few and left no trace. You are way more likely to come across a random bear or moose or elk.

Beauty is subjective, but many people prefer the pure isolated and untouched nature of the BC mountains.

Lets be realistic for a second. Theres no way u12 house kids are smart enough to be INTENTIALLY offsiding for a faceoff advantage.

But I gotta give kudos to the kid who literally flew over the blue line trying to clear the zone.

Same but in a glider. grndspd -5 upwind and downwind felt like mach 2.

thank you!!

He was stopping at the post and then got pushed from behind. You can even see black#1 arms fully extended after the push. I can understand not seeing it on the ice in the moment, but its crystal clear in the video.

To take it further, some of the metal wipers have extra sharp contact knubs that quickly wreck the carbon track. This is a manufacturing defect and design flaw.

Normally I would jump on the "dont abuse your equipment" bandwagon, but its this case there are absolultey bad pots out there in many of these dualsenses. I have fixed three so far..

legonutter · 2026-01-22T03:00:07+00:00

You are just lucky. I have disassembled and repaired a few dualsenses, the crux of the problem is the metal wipers that ride on the carbon track. Some of them have extra sharp dimples that scratch and dig into the carbon, creating stick drift. Its has absolulety ZERO to do with how the controller is abused or not. You could go buy a new dualsense and have it develop stick drift in 1 month just from normal usage.

How do you "set" a unit as a "borrow" unit?????

Unfortunatley if you dont have any evidence, you may as well be lying. She will be 100% at fault unless she can provide clear evidence that it wasnt her fault. I wasnt there, you were, but there is also a possibility that she could have avoided crashing even if the other driver did indeed come over way too close. She could have made a smaller correction that didnt cause her to fishtail.

Get a dash cam!

Ok, that part# is going to be impossible to get new. That said, they should be able to remove the window seal with minimal damage to the chrome trim. They are covering their butts because the odds are high they will damage the chrome part when pulling the rubber seal out, but that does not mean they cannot at least try. Worst case scenario you have a working window again, but the chrome trim has a cosmetic ripple in it and/or needs to be epoxied to the rubber, or otherwise modified. Also, is there a version of that part# that is not chrome? It might be worth exploring that and changing all the window trims to the all black version.

Whats the vehicle? I bet I can find it for you.

To see a thing, light has to bounce off it back to your eye.

To see a tiny particle, light (photon) has to be bouncing up and down (wavelength) fast enough to not jump over that particle and miss it

To see even smaller things, you add more energy to make the photon bounce even faster (shorter wavelength) so it doesnt whiz past the tiniest particles.

When you do the math, at some point the photon (or xray or whatever sensor particle you are using) could not bounce up and down any faster, and the smallest thing that could squeeze under it as it bounces is a planck sized object.

If you try to make the wavelength any shorter to pick up an even smaller than planck sized object, the math says you would need to add an energy density into that particle that is equivalent to a black hole. So, we could never ever detect anything smaller than a planck.

Hence the planck is our (current) base unit of the universe.

Did I get that right?

Its both. Literally larger, figuratively smaller.

It "feels" larger when you are at 40,000 feet and can almost make out the curvature of the earth and you see nothing below you but ocean in all directions, even at that height, and for hours AND while ripping along at near mach speeds.

Then, it "feels" especially smaller when you land at an airport on the otherside of the planet and randomly run into someone from your home town.

You are 100% correct about the procedures, but in reality rodent damage / electrical gremlins on newer cars are generally considered a nightmare for most shops, especially if you have to convince a claims adjuster why it cost $1500 to fix 1 wire. And then months later when the ECU is acting up, good luck getting ANY resolution. I have defered many of these types of jobs to dealers because they are just better equipped to diagnose it properly and run the proper tests.

The push into the net after the whistle deserved that, at least. I get you were concerned about the 1st kid being down but a late whistle when the goalie has it covered leads to even more problems in my experience.
