The cage is supposed to detonate the heat round (which both the rpg and javelin have to some extent) prior to impacting the actual armor. There’s usually a shaped charge in the round and a stand off with the primer in it that ignites the round at the convergence point of the shaped charge. If you set that off prior to the round hitting the armor it’ll just splatter against the armor rather than penetrate it. Some weapons have a tandem charge, that has two shaped charges to help it get through ERA or I imagine cope cages.

Man, those guys are good. Looks like they line up a perfect shot to hit where the turret joins the hull.

As others have said, you can’t passively bypass GNSS jamming. The signal more or less has the same amount of power as a 60 watt light bulb, transmitted from a satellite out in Medium Earth Orbit. You throw enough energy at the same frequency as the signal and it’s over. There are ways to improve the receivers resilience by giving it more signals to connect to (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) or several signals being transmitted by the same constellation (L1, L2, L5).

Also, many different systems occupy pretty much the same frequencies, just with different characteristics which makes all the signals more susceptible.

Unfortunately an appeals court reduced the bond.

The whole purpose of the log is to help the vehicle get through mud. Here’s a short video: Russian Logs

Nobody wants to be a pig, or live in Louisiana.

It is entirely their purpose, but you will never know about it publicly. Everything related to space is classified to the highest degree at this point in time.

It starts out super concentrated and spreads out at a 35-45 degree angle from the end of the gun tube and becomes less concentrated the further out it gets. There’s a chance it wouldn’t hit somebody a hundred meters out but anybody left would get hit with the coaxial mounted machine gun.

Nah, you’re not crazy. This round has 2048 ball bearings in it that are effective out to 300 meters.

Imagine how much further we would be as a society if we didn’t have to deal with this stupid shit.

We should have reconstructed harder…

There’s no pressure until we either stop exporting weapons, or limit it to iron dome projectiles.

That’s bullshit and a cop-out. Every country in NATO joined willingly because every country should have some level of self-determination. NATO grew because decade after decade, the Russian government proved that they act in bad faith in nearly every interaction with the international community.

Maybe if Russia acted in good faith and was willing to be a partner in the region, neighboring countries wouldn’t have felt the need to join NATO, but here we are.

Pacifism doesn’t work. We’ve seen it time and time again that it just buys our adversaries time, and we end up where we’re at today.
