Man, that sucks for that guy. "Because your President is evil, you have to either lose your awesome job or never be able to go home safely again. Take your pick!" It's not the world's biggest injustice (heh), and I understand the move, but still. Mad respect for that combover game. e: fooled by the headline, gently caress this guy, still a good combover though Mellow Seas fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Mar 2, 2022 |

They should've sacked him them. (and by "sacked", I mean they should have hit him in the face with a scrotum. And fired him.)

steinrokkan posted:Absolutely. All the actual experts were warning that an invasion was coming, but nobody believed them, because it seemed too outlandish. And yeah, Russia is still denying this is a war rather than a peacekeeping action accompanied by Ukrainian false flag propaganda. How long until he claims that it's an internal skirmish between two factions in Western Russia?

I'm no expert in thermodynamics but I believe the smaller the object is the easier it is to reduce its temperature. I also know that research reactors are generally smaller than the ones used in power producing .

jmnmu posted:Modern military noob here. Can someone to explain to me the flare like bursts coming out of the helicopters? My guess is that those aren't offensive weapons but are meant to throw off targeting missiles coming towards them? Correct. Aircraft poop out flares to confuse heat seekers. In some aircraft this is automated, where you enable the system and it starts flaring if it detects a launch via, eg, little IR cameras watching the ground. I have no idea if Russian gear has these kinds of systems but if you see US birds with little web cam looking things, that's the kind of stuff they're for.

And for radar sealing missiles they will drop chaff which is basically tons of strips of foil effectively. A couple years ago a US airframe on the Indiana/Kentucky border dropped chaff and it was detected on weather radar for hours afterward.

Blue Footed Booby posted:This conversation started out with the claim the TOW, a wire guided missile, can't fly over water. It is in fact something you control. Former Marine TOW gunner here. It's hard enough to hit a stationary target on land with no cover, I wouldn't even want to think about trying to hit something in the water with one. First when you fire it it's loud, like my hearing will never recover from forgetting to put hearing protection on one time at the range loud, second you lose visibility for the first few seconds due to the exhaust gasses released by the launch motor. finally guidance comes down to trying to keep the destination point on target, You are trying to keep a small target reticle over a object at a distance and if you've ever tried to track an object through a scope is not the easiest thing in the world requiring small steady corrections. To hit something like a landing craft in the water which will be moving and bobbing erratically would require you fly the TOW above the surface and then try to push it down at the last instant without breaking the wire which would be extremely difficult given that it's fast and you don't necessarily have a good idea of where it is relative to the target in the course of flight which is why generally the way you fire is get it out of the tube without flinching too much and messing with the flight path at launch then use micro corrections (because you don't want to break the guidance wire) to ease it back onto target. This would probably be easier with the APC mounted hammer head model but you're still having to deal with the period of no visibility and the fact that any rapid course corrections have the risk of breaking the guidance wire. If I were targeting a landing craft I'd just wait until it came ashore when it's fully exposed and vulnerable anyway.
