Getting some Gripen in the hands of Ukraine is probably the best chance of kick-starting its export sales. If they no longer have to worry about being first because of F-16, there has to be a reasonable push from those inside Sweden and Saab to give some to Ukraine. Czechia seem to be more keen to offload their L-159s (both cheaper per airframe and a chance to raise export interest) https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/czech-president-ukraine-could-have-our-l-159-jets-2023-05-10/ Then how long until Macron feels the need to get Rafale in the conversation...

https://twitter.com/PStyle0ne1/status/1661765991116726273 I can't see the tweet but I've been assured that it says: quote:Strelkov Igor Ivanovich #KRP According to not fully verified, but nevertheless, data - "Ivan Khurs" goes under its own power for repairs (where I can not write) to correct the damage received. I think they said the same thing about Moskva so let's see. Seems likely that drone did indeed detonate very close if not on impact.

I think we need to start mentally preparing ourselves for more 80, 90, and eventually more than zero 100+ year old rulers and politicians in the near future, unfortunately. Ramses II allegedly made it to 92, imagine that becoming the norm for modern wannabe pharaohs.

House to house fighting in Bakhmut as Ukraine continues to swing around the city. Russian regulars are getting a very warm welcome from the Ukrianians as they retake formerly Wagner positions. Funny enough Wagner is basically sending them INTO ukrianian firing positions going "yeah our lines are over there just head there remember no Ukrianians are in Bakhmut!" The 76th Motorized regiment was clapped by the RDK/RFC before heading back into Ukraine. Russia captured an MRAP and has whisked it deep into Russia so they can look at the armor composites. America is pretty unhappy about the maxxpros being given to PMCs and is looking into the matter. Partly I surmise that Russia blamed the Patriots for shooting down Russian planes inside of Russia because the US has stated very clearly they do Not Want ukraine doing that. And this may help to limit new shipments(they hope).

Lol even if they did get an MRAP, a mine resistant armor alloy wouldn't do them much good because there's no way they could exploit it anyway given the state of Russian heavy industry. And that's if the Russians didn't already have captured models of those things (and HMMVs, and Bradleys) from Iraq and Afghanistan. The MRAP in particular has been in service since 2007. It's very possible Russia was already aware of a lot of that stuff, the US lost a decent bit to combat and even more when we scrambled out of Afghanistan.

The US is NOT happy about this development. Whether it's that important or not it's just a note for reference. And as said above. I'd be more worried about Russia just selling it to Iran or China to get the material compositions studied.

Dr. Quarex posted:He was also probably the last Republican who had the courage to correct even the most blatantly bloodthirsty attack on a Democrat when he corrected that random heckler claiming Obama was a secret Muslim (back when Muslims, not Democrats, were the group Republicans wanted to imprison and execute), which should be basic decency on the part of any politician but of course there is no longer any such thing on their side And yet he still did "He's not a Muslim, he's a decent person", didn't he? The only way he clears the bar is if you're setting it based on Trumpist Republicanism. Which is how life works, I guess. I just mean that McCain said some accurate things about how Russia operates but I'm not going to quote him on it for the same reason I wouldn't tip my hat when Glenn Greenwald or Ben Garrison or whoever make a valid criticism of Obama or US imperialism. There are always non-lovely people who are more often correct saying similar things.

It wasn't quite like that. He said to one guy "He's a decent person" and then to another random lady who was saying "He's an Arab!" that he was a "decent family man" which was just kind of a repetition of what he said the first time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrnRU3ocIH4 Toxic Mental fucked around with this message at 20:55 on May 25, 2023 |

OAquinas posted:I disagree about Romney. yeah, the issue with ever calling russia a global/strategic threat has always been their navy. russian naval disposition has been an extremely hilarious joke for generations, and it has never really gotten any better. even during the cold war, there's a reason people were worried about subs, not surface ships - outside of the missile threat, russia has never had a navy that would've seriously given pause to a strategic US patrol, nevermind a carrier group. that hasn't stopped conveniently complex thinking from dominating every air wave for decades. i had a similar tough time with complex thinking trying to talk to people about the supposed total dominance of russia in cyberwarfare for years. they will point to things like finding russian hackers in the wolf creek nuclear power plant and say oh no, russian hackers could destroy america from within at any time. and it's like, sorry friend but i live 50 miles from wolf creek and i can tell you conclusively, russian hackers might have been ready to turn off one automated override in that station, but there were 3 others and another 2 mechanical failsafes that are not connected to the internet. the best they could've done is set off some alarms with the systems they were in, they could not have even interrupted power generation, let alone do something costly like cause a SCRAM. doing something dangerous was never on the table in the first place. people happily ignore all of this to point out that russia shut off the power in kyiv on independence day a few years in a row and fail to remember that the reason for that is that everyone was using the same pirated tax software that was insecure on day 1 and hadn't ever been updated. no, not anything fundamental to the system at all, it was loving tax software that for some reason had access to power station controls. it goes way beyond the herpderp update your compy 486, it's flat out just don't install unnecessary poo poo in the first place. nicole perlroth wrote an entire book of like 300 pages of this fearmongering tripe and got tons of accolades for it even as she documented the only real strategic cyberattack coup in history, stuxnet. which, let's not forget, required: 1) insider knowledge on precisely which industrial control software was being used on the centrifuges in iran 2) an incredibly intensive search into that industrial control software, resulting in a daisy chain of 3 exploits to accomplish a specific task 3) a SEPARATE incredibly intensive search into the windows operating system, resulting in a daisy chain of another 4 exploits to DELIVER stuxnet 4) an outstandingly specific targeting algorithm to make sure that the victims did not notice the damage from stuxnet until it was too late 5) a plan to handle patching all of these exploits to keep the weapon from blowing back on american targets if it was eventually discovered (cyberweapons are notoriously single-use because of this semantic) even after documenting all of this she arbitrarily claimed that russia was absolutely capable of all of this and would blow up all of our power stations in event of a war, citing ukraine as proof. then the actual cards came down and it turned out that russia was literally only good at troll farms. which, sure, those are effective and did damage, but you really have to question whether that was russia deploying an effective weapon or just that american society has big-P Problems and russia is highlighting them. like, maybe we should deal with those Problems.

Tunicate posted:The russian cyber estimate was based on 'wow if russian criminals have this sort of powerful hacking tools and exploits, imagine what the really good stuff the state intelligence agencies are researching and stockpiling is like' yeah the critical thing nobody bothered to notice was that the criminal organizations didn't have terribly powerful hacking tools in terms of strategic importance. they had situational importance for extorting money, true, but that's a completely separate application. there was never any reason to think that russia had highly developed strategic cyberweapons, it was full on fearmongering shlock exploiting poor education and political sensationalism. again in the same book, perlroth loves to recount how russia "held a small town hostage" with ransomware, when really what happened was some russian criminals who were PROBABLY working with russian state services successfully spearphished city hall employees in nowheresville, indiana and shut down the computers for a week. city hall just did poo poo on paper until they could summon the local ComputerMan franchise to re-image their computers and did not pay the requested ransoms.
