And yes echoing the question how the gently caress are there any officers left alive on the Russian side to give these orders? Few come back? The ones that come back are too shocked

Even setting that to fire just makes it burn aggressively and hot, but not go kaboom and all over the place without a primer.

Hahaha holy gently caress partisans set a Su-27 on fire at the Central Corner air base in Artyom, Primorsky Krai. Just a burning jet, nothing else https://v.redd.it/r266pa82uyma1 LOL Russia made an entire army unit dedicated just to finding lost mobiks, incredible.

I would have posted it earlier but only note of it is that Reddit chain and that could be some display model or parts donor hull being set fire. Could be big news if this was real, though.

They have loving civilian houses within 100m of the base, which AREN'T ON THE BASE LMAO I can totally see this being some pissed off mobik that just got papers to report or something. But if I see any other sources I'll drop them here for sure

USAF bases always have someone nearby the flightline on guard and usually a Security Forces vehicles driving around the flightline at night.

HonorableTB posted:I assumed those were rocks coming out of that mine Yep, TNT. You can shave it with knife for "extreme kindlins", shoot it with rifle, throw it around, and even toss it to oven and it just burns very very hot. It is stupidly inert until it is not, and that is when you have a primer to set it off. Similarly, you can put out your cigarette on a cup full of diesel oil. Diesel needs pressure or suitable heat to flame up. Just small things you learn in the army while bored. Der Kyhe fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Mar 10, 2023 |

I guess not all explosives are like Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane FOOMF posted:Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane, or CL-20, was developed as a highly energetic, compact, and efficient explosive. What makes it unusual is not that it blows up - go find me a small hexa-N-nitro compound that doesn't - but that it doesn't actually blow up immediately, early, and often. No, making things that go off when someone down the hall curses at the coffee machine, that's no problem. Making something like this that can actually be handled and stored is a real accomplishment. or azidoazide azides FOOMF posted:The sensitivity of C2N14 is beyond our capabilities of measurement. The smallest possible loadings in shock and friction tests led to explosive decomposition. . . HonorableTB fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Mar 10, 2023 |

He came up with a solution that was so volatile it explodes when you try to look at it via electomicroscope because scanning it is too much. EDIT: Ah you already found his most famous work!

I'm slightly surprised that cyberwarfare hasn't been a bigger deal than it has been so far. There was a big burst of cyberattacks at the beginning of the war but that seemed to stop pretty quickly and the last I remember hearing about the advanced persistent threats it was a news article about Ukraine tracking a hacker team back to their actual office and then launched a hellfire missile through the window and smoked them all

If they can break the back of Wagner it'll disprove a lot of US big heads thought on the situation. Which Ukraine has done. Multiple times. And a front wide collapse is probably unlilely unless Ukraine snaps sieversonetsk or melitopol while the Russians are still assaulting bakhmut. Time will tell.

Wagner's only got as much lasting power as Russia has prisoners that can be conscripted and forced to fight. Prigozhin's already exhausted the volunteers from the prisoner pop, the next step is just conscription whether you want to or not

Also it sounds like a lot of Russia's best IT people have fled the country before someone decided they would be more use dying in a trench, and most of them are probably trying to avoid drawing attention to themselves.

Thinking your opponents were that heavily armed would be terrifying. If you're going to be shooting that much from a light machine gun wouldn't you also likely be stationary? Seems kinda cumbersome. Unless you paired it with a Jin-Roh style armor suit and made anime real.
