It's not like Putin's Russia being extremely anti-LBGTQ is new in any way. I don't expect this to change anyone's mind.

One of the few regrets I have is that I didn't buy that Putin in drag makeup T-shirt the last time I was in Tallinn before COVID-19. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/06/russia-bans-picture-of-vladimir-putin-in-drag

Tigey posted:Yeah, 'denazifying' by adopting similar tactics to the nazis - in that during a losing war they massively ramp up the victimisation and persecution of an already heavily marginalised and vulnerable segment of their own population - primarily due to the fact that the West is perceived to 'care' about that group. Pretty much just malice and spite and infection of western right wing narratives - Putin namedropped JK Rowling and her "persecution" last year

The mad scientists at Rheinmetall go one further, they set the primer as the shell is leaving the barrel so the speed of the round (never exactly possible to predict) can be taken into consideration.

Are the WW2 era type VT proximity fuses too large for the ammo and/or obsolete for anti drone work?

I think that the secret ingredient to a substantial part of far left and far right people's politics is just contrarianism. A pathological need to be opposed to whatever the mainstream consensus at the time, because it makes them feel like the smartest person in the room. The politics are then used post-hoc to justify that, although probably not consciously. You never see these people just support Russia, it is almost invariably packaged by a whole host of other contrarian-born views like being antivax. This is why you can see Marxists and other far lefties supporting a imperialist, colonial genocidal war of aggression by a fascist revanchist government. Because it is so obviously evil, and that is the unanimous view of mainstream society on both sides of the political divide. Because most people believe it, it must surely be wrong. And because these people just feed on contrarianism, they are extremely vocal about it. They are by and large also extremely online, so their voices are disproportionately present in online discourse. That is not to say that all far lefties are motivated by contrarianism, or even a majority. I know quite a few Marxists and other far lefty types, and all of them are staunchly pro-Ukraine - Because being anti-fascist war of subjugation is obviously in line with these ideals. But these are thoughtful and intelligent people who aren't motivated primarily by contrarianism. Geisladisk fucked around with this message at 12:17 on Jul 14, 2023 |

If people are Pro-russia they must have already became OK with the targeted genocide of a civilian populace so a genoicide against LGBTQ people is not going to bother them.

Ikasuhito posted:Very much one of those "not even living on the same planet" takes. Russia has shown for the past 500+ days that any move like this is laughably outside their abilites. Not only could they not beat NATO, I think they would get crushed. It wouldn't even be close. Russia would lose extremely badly to just Finland, or Poland All of NATO would be a hilarious stomp like the Gulf War

An old friend of mine is staunchly pro-Putin; he's always had a Thing about bring the smartest guy in the room , the one who really sees what is actually going on. Et cetera. Certainly puts in a new light his 15 years of getting fired for Boldly Telling the Truth in every workplace he's been in. Hmmm.

And also the IMF. if the ukronazis don't surrender soon, the globalist bankers will swoop in and haul away the entire country, you see. Just devastating. It's deeply immoral to continue resisting. Btw the holodomor never happened, wikipedia is controlled by the bilderbergers and IMF stooges, china's mandatory vocational training program for the Uyghurs is completely not done under coercion and at gunpoint.

You see this contrarianism with a lot of old hippies and increasingly old punks. They seem like reasonable enough people when the topic was, say, the War on Terror or drug decriminalisation but it turns out that they don't actually hold any sincere beliefs. I've not seen any wild tankie takes in "real-life" because I tend to not associate with these people any more.

NihilCredo posted:Wouldn't going back to old-style timed fuzes be quite effective against drones? Much like early 20th century aircraft, they are slow, fragile, and fly at low altitude, so I would guess they can be taken down by airbursts pretty well? The fancy sensor suite you mentioned will be needed to spot and target the drat thing, but the ammunition ought to be as cheap as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZD5zFN-rps note, nothing in this video is new, it's 10 or 20 years old

CannonFodder posted:I think what makes the new paradigm of small quadcopters used as recon drones and occasional "drop a grenade" drone so effective is that it is difficult to detect and then precisely locate them. Now, once that hurdle has been passed, and the anti-quad-copter-drone laser operator could properly put the laser on target, then yeah it would work. Except drones (aside from electromagnetic radiation) are nearly indistinguishable from birds. You'd make a fancy system that most of the time is wasting ammo into the sky shooting at birds (which aren't even real anyways). Come to think of it a russian system wasting ammo shooting at make believe targets does sound pretty plausible...

Ukraine already have had some Brimstones which can do target selection based on some sort of database of possible targets for its milliwave radar. Plus Brimstone supports salvo fire where multiple missiles talk to each other to ensure they don't pick the same targets. Autonomous target selection is how Ukraine have had to use them; without integration to a plane it's been ground launched out of visual range in the general direction of Russian hardware.
