I actually read that as "effective range is shorter than the wikipedia entry number" so I reversed the clauses. Stupid reading comprehension. Its ok though, now we all know that the HQ-9 is not a good S-300 PMU replacement anyway. Its wish.com S-300.

What's been fun is watching the Pantsir turn out to be the wish.com Pantsir over the past five years or so. I don't even remember when we first started seeing them get plinked by drones, but I laughed the first time.

golden bubble posted:Only if it's in the training dataset. All these large language models (LLM) basically produce fuzzy remixes of their training datasets, which are giant internet scrapings. Their creators know that there are bomb recipes and racism in their scrapings, so they try to limit it. But the LLM cannot produce information outside of it's training data, except by completely making poo poo up. So the only danger comes from getting confidential info in the training data, and I hope no one is going to put classified information in a place where giant internet scrapings will catch it. Because the AI researchers aren't looking for any specific information, they want more text, more documents, more words to feed into their increasingly massive model, and they don't care where the text comes from. The ouroboros of chat bots creating content to be consumed by other chat bots endlessly forever.

I don't even remember when we first started seeing them get plinked by drones, but I laughed the first time. I remember reading somewhere that the majority of the bayraktar footage was taken from the first few days of the conflict, when Russian forces were ordered to initially assume anything in the air was friendly. Apparently this was to help prevent friendly fire, but it also let Ukrainian drones operate with near impunity for a brief moment, after which they lost a lot of their effectiveness. The article where I read this said that the Ukrainians stockpiled and slowly released the footage gathered during that period for propaganda purposes. I can't find the article, but I don't suppose anyone knows one that mentions what I'm talking about? Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that maybe the pantsir isn't as pants on head stupid as being destroyed by a bayraktar makes it seem if they were hampered by standing orders. I'd love to be proven wrong, though, because Russia's newest and greatest air defense system actually being trash would be very on brand.

The article where I read this said that the Ukrainians stockpiled and slowly released the footage gathered during that period for propaganda purposes. Also during those first few days the Russian EW was going full bore which, whoops, shuts down Russian SAM radars too. So there was essentially no AA on either side for the first few days, which let the RUAF be way more active than at any other time, but also let Bayraktars go hog wild. Funny as it was seeing AA systems get clowned on by drones, it probably isn't indicative of these systems being bad. though they're probably still bad

M_Gargantua posted:Is it the HQ-9? I don't even work with that kind of thing. I work mainly with military stuff like communications/C-IED and for a short while, I handled ceramics/alloys for vehicle armor. The hypothetical in question came out of a one-off conversation with a colleague and then again an interview on a channel called Animarchy, which I actually recommend watching/listening to because the guest is a Patriot specialist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SReqD5QYNMg The conversation with the colleague came up because you'd be fine bringing up the hypothetical like I did, but would get told "hey don't, please" (not fired or legal action) if you simply said public numbers were wrong. Firing and legal action could happen if you said a number. Just wanted to reassure everyone and that what I said is safe, but should have read the room and it was a bad idea to bring it up and that I'm dropping it now. Sorry.

“number is wrong” coming from someone who knows what the right number is was definitely explained to me as not kosher. In aggregate unclassified stuff is classified. “IRL number bigger” or “Smaller” reveals a lot.

I guess that's it then, the Swedish defense industry might as well pack it in and give up. drat fools can't even design an AT launcher that doesn't try to kill its operator, which is also a problem I've often had with their flat pack furniture.

Same dude fired an NLAW at a BMP and managed to miss. For some reason Russia gave him a second one so he managed to fire it correctly and when he saw what top down does to armor he went "well poo poo" honestly Russia having so many NLAWs that they can give some thumbsucking youtuber more than one says more to their prowess than any of their own actual gear Nuclear Tourist posted:I guess that's it then, the Swedish defense industry might as well pack it in and give up. drat fools can't even design an AT launcher that doesn't try to kill its operator, which is also a problem I've often had with their flat pack furniture. good meatballs though
