Fourty days later, Anon finds that his entire computer file system has been replaced with pics of Morgan Freeman
We found Saddam
Yeah. Cam girls are people too. Sometimes it’s hard to remember
Oh no! Then you might become a cute werewolf! OwO

I didn’t know what an Amiga was until I saw animations by Eric Schwartz on Saberspark’s twitch. Eric Schwartz is a furry artist who made animations on Amiga computers and shared them around the internet. He eventually made a comic with one of his characters called Sabrina online
Anon needs to join a rail club or work for a rail museum. They’re always looking for new people and they have big trains.
Am I weird to be really hyped for a new Tetris game
There’s a thing on the stuffy r/credibledefense that might change your mind on pilot error. TL;DR the flight manuals and warning design failed the pilots and the checklists didn’t communicate the urgency
That’s the image I got. I actually had something else, (oops) but it looks similar. I don’t know if Lemmy lets me post the whole image. I don’t know if it’s the original either, but I used this as a desktop background for years. I ditched it on the upgrade to 4k. Size is 1.2 MB
Holy cow. I have that image
Why specifically Azov?
Maybe capacity is to the point where military planners are willing to give up stock of some missiles. But if I’ve taken anything away from the Russo-Ukranian war, it’s that quantity of weapons systems is incredibly important. There’s a heck of a lot of targets to hit in China.
However if the US is in a position to send JASSM to Ukraine, I will be excited. Personally, I’m very excited to see what weapons systems that Ukraine can now use since it has F-16. Especially with JDAM-ER which the Russians have shown the effectiveness of.
The resurgence of the ATACMs is aimed at Ukraine and Europe as a whole. Especially Poland and its massive HIMARS fleet on order. It would definitely be useful in the Pacific, but from what I see in the procurement requests, it’s mostly for foreign order. It’s a major move though, seeing as new production of the ATACMs was terminated in 2007.
The problem with these long range Standoff munitions is that they’re sorely needed in the indo-pacific region if there’s ever a war with China. (Likely to be within the next few years) It’s going to give some pause to US planners as range is at a premium there. I don’t see JASSM going to Ukraine myself, as these missiles are reserved for a fight with China. However, it may be a useful move to get Europe to chip in for long range munitions.
Wow. I’d be nuts to fly one of those things. 6000 VVI sounds like suicide
With the collective firmly held down on the bottom stop, things happen very fast. The helicopter is descending in a hurry, as in 4,000 – 6,000 feet per minute. Do the math, if you are at 1,000 feet and the descent rate is 4,000 feet, you have one quarter or a minute – 15 seconds – to find a place to land.
It’s more about altitude than the ability to glide. Helicopters can do what’s called Auto rotation, which means they actually can glide. If the blade seize up however, they can’t autorotate. Helicopters fly a lot lower than most airplanes though, so they can’t glide as far.
You have the deepest conversations around a fire. Everything from philosophy to art to politics, this is how man bonds with his brethren.
F-22 isn’t in production anymore and it would be very expensive to start up production again. Much of the capacity to produce F-22 has been taken up by other programs such as F-35 meaning that they would need new capacity.
They actually had the opportunity to produce more F-22s with the Japanese government offering to buy and put forward a lot of money to produce more, but the US didn’t see the need for more of an air superiority platform
F-22 specializes in Air Superiority or clearing the skies. It wasn’t made for air to ground (even though it can do it today) In Afghanistan, there wasn’t a need for more air superiority
That decision to make it linked to the PSN is so bizarre seeing as I can literally play that game on PC already
