Oh now russia is hosed!Blistex posted:I've seen multiple videos of drones spotting drone jammers for artillery, and drones taking them out themselves. There have even been a few videos of guys pointing drone jamming guns at the drones and eating a grenade for their efforts. I don't know the exact answer, but the drones seem to always get through. (not that we'd see much footage of them not). There was even an article a few days ago about how drones are used to take out supposed drone jammers. I guess all they do is paint a very clear target at their locaiton. I'll try to find the link.

I think we will see the emergence of anti-EW drones that may be some kind of semi autonomous vehicle that will be able to id and home in on EW signals. Im willing to be DoD is already cooking something like this up in their Darpa labs.

Wasn't there a piece about how something like Russia has very good jammers for a set of frequencies Ukraine was using at the time of development, but Ukraine's now switched away from them due to the jammers and Russia's soldiers are stuck with them because someone's paid a contract for multiple years of production on the drat things?

I have a feeling the electronic warfare race between the west + Russia is like arms races of the past. There's got to be huge MIC sectors dedicated to this right now, and the back-and-forth sways at any given time because both sides are very technically adept.

I doubt he is doing what he is doing with the intent of actively aiding Russia, as that is giving him too much credit. He is driven by petty revenge, plain and simple. At this point, he's no different from every other narcissistic rear end in a top hat who feels personally wronged by the system, but he could potentially be back in a position to do some real damage to it.

I'm curious - could the budget issues be circumvented and the US keep sending material to Ukraine if for example the EU footed the bill for balance sheet purposes? Not saying its even on the table but I'm wondering if it would even be possible. The EU has money (€50B incoming now) but are lacking in arms, the US has arms...

Not saying its even on the table but I'm wondering if thats a likely outcome. The the EU has money (€50B incoming now) but are lacking in arms, the US has arms... The Republicans would pivot to insisting the Europeans pay double market rates. And grovel at America's feet for the privilege. If it wasn't this policy or compromise, it would be something else. Its never about the specifics - but about the act of sabotage - of owning the libs and the emotions that creates in their supporters. They don't actually care about stopping aid to Ukraine or any associated policies, its about the disruption and damage they can inflict upon the their political opponents and the meat that gives them to throw to their base and rile them up. If Biden wasn't so associated with aid to Ukraine - but instead the opposite - they would be screaming for every weapon possible to be sent.

I really don't think Trump is thinking about Ukraine at all in this case; he's just pissed that the current government might actually pass legislation that addresses the immigration bugaboo that's a significant component of his campaign, and then Biden will get the credit for "fixing" it instead of him. And unfortunately even though he's only a potential presidential candidate at this stage, he can still do damage simply because there are too many cowardly Republicans actually in office who are afraid to contradict him or go against his wishes for fear of angering the moronic MAGA masses...

Yes my impression is also that he's mostly mad that Biden might "fix" the border instead of his big beautiful wall. However he's also mad at Ukraine for not manufacturing evidence against Hunter and resulting in his impeachment. And also he wants to abandon NATO because the countries weren't paying him 2% of GDP.

Deltasquid posted:Query from this dumb European: what power or office does Trump hold to sink this compromise? I thought he wasn’t president any more and also he’s heading straight to jail? The US basically has a two-party political system due to the widespread use of "first-past-the-post" election systems; people can vote for one and only one candidate and the candidate who gets the most votes wins. (In reality it's a bit more complicated because every state runs its own elections and there are a lot of complexities and caveats and a few places that use different systems, but that's more or less the gist of it...) That means that federal elections for the President and members of Congress essentially always come down to a Democrat vs. a Republican candidate, because no third party or independent candidate has any hope of getting enough votes to beat whoever's on the D or R tickets. The races for majority control of both Congressional bodies (the House of Representatives and the Senate) and the presidency are usually fairly close and tend to flip back and forth between the two parties regularly. There are other various oddities with the US system that exacerbate the problem as well (hi, Electoral College!) and lots of procedural oddities in the way the legislative branch actually functions (or doesn't function), but that's too much to get into here; the upshot is that US federal elections are always the Democrats vs. the Republicans, and whoever gets the most seats and/or the presidency basically decides what happens in that body of Congress or the executive branch of the government respectively, and if one party is able to control both bodies of Congress *and* the presidency at the same time then that party basically runs the whole country unilaterally. There's no forming a government via coalition and cooperation between multiple parties in the US, since there are effectively only the two parties, and what bipartisan cooperation between the two parties there used to be has almost entirely vanished in recent years (arguably far more so on the Republican side than the Democratic side). When control is split due to very slim majorities and/or different parties holding the House, Senate, and presidency, as is the case currently, it becomes very difficult for the government to actually get anything done without a lot of wrangling and brinksmanship, and it's really easy for a small number of Congressional representatives to gently caress everything up by refusing to cooperate. Trump currently has no official power in the US government, but the issue is that he is likely to be the next Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election, and a sizable portion of the Republican voter base worships the ground he walks on (in spite of, and in many cases because of, his current legal troubles) and will turn on any other Republican politician who dares disagree with him or refuses to accede to his demands (no matter how inane or idiotic). If sitting Republicans in Congress go against Trump, there's a good chance they'll be voted out in their party's primaries at the next election by that pro-Trump portion of the Republican voter base and replaced with someone else who's more willing to kiss Trump's arse. Since the single most important matter for many Congresspeople is the furtherance (or at least the preservation) of their own political careers, that means that there are quite a few Republicans in Congress who are too cowardly to go against Trump in any way. If Trump demands they blow up this immigration-reform-and-Ukraine-military-aid deal because he wants to be the one to "fix" immigration when he's in office, they'll do it, for fear that if they don't, their own careers will be hosed. And the Republican party as a whole can't all band together and just tell Trump to gently caress off, because if they do, they'll lose the votes of all those hardcore Trump fanatics, and because of how close the federal elections generally are, that would almost certainly mean they'd have no hope of winning the presidency or a majority in the House or the Senate for the foreseeable future; it would effectively be political suicide for the entire party.
