In short, if and when Ukraine joins the European Union, its agricultural industry is going to demolish the agricultural industries of the old member states and leave a lot of angry farmers.

my guess is that there's going to be a decades long transitional period where ukrainian agriculture will have different laws. or perhaps ukraine won't get to be a full member, because the various farmers' blocks in eu countries are so powerful, and there's so much money involved

Have they adapted the range to increase or decrease it? :911:

The "adaptation" is that it exists at all. GLSDB is a standard small glide bomb mated to the same rocket motor used for GMLRS to produce a cheap ground-launched strike missile. It was little more than proof of concept for testing when this war started, and pretty much had to be rushed into production in order to meed the delivery pledge.

It inherently has around double the range as a standard GMLRS because you're lofting a gliding projectile. Previous range estimates for the system when it was first pitched to the US military were around 150km.

The actual report is that delivery to Ukraine is delayed until 2024 for testing inside the US, so yeah they are pretty drat new

It's a clever idea as a whole but I'm sure Boeing or whoever wants to make sure they actually work

Because having a prototype weapon fail on launch is kind of bad for people using it.

This thing's so new that the potential issues are still "the production mating collar wasn't up to the standards of launch and wound up flinging the glide bomb in a random direction" level instead of just "oh it missed the target a little".

Testing with the pure prototypes has gone well, but transitioning from prototype to production is always chancy.

i'm FAIRLY sure that's a 'waif in his underwear' style quirk from russian to english. she's being translated directly but the cultural context is that orwell would have gone through the various phases of 'such is life' before getting actually sick from the putinesque crap, and as a writer who has thought about it a lot, orwell would have a lot of "such is life" to go through since he's thought of every ramification 20 other people have.

i've never actually seen the other side of "such is life" described as being sick though so it's entirely possible i'm wrong.

Video of a dude riding the BAM railway and going through the tunnel that is now (hopefully) out of service.

Looking at the vast distances through forests and mountains it would take Putin's new 170k mobilization at least to provide security along the tracks from a guy lobbing a backpack full of C4 on a passing train.

Here in the US, usually the only people working on a train are a conductor and an engineer. It might be something similar in Russia, with the crew mostly concentrated in the forward engine car. If the bomb blew up past this car, it's not unlikely that none of the crew was hurt beyond being scared shitless. Most of the tracks that cross the vastness of Siberia are well and truly in the middle of absolutely loving nowhere.
