NAH, the cocktail would take a bit to cook one off. It would only probably kill the thrower.

Wouldn't they have to have their fuses installed for a Molotov to do anything more than turn when mines into a large bonfire?

May I present the MLC-70 ferry.
A standard bridgelayer lays its bridge across a set of motorized pontoons, and presto.




I'm sure that works, and there's probably doctrine supporting that, but holy gently caress is that sketchy. I'm getting forklift lifting a forklift that's lifting a full pallet vibes.

I can't make out what kind of weapon these interceptor drones are using. A net? Some kind of plastic buckshot?

Metal or polymer streamers to foul the propellers of the target uav. it's light weight but high tensile strength so it won't immediately harm anything it falls on.

Sorry the more important question is: can we talk about this patch?



Turn it into solid color line art and Id unironically love it

Edit: give the chameleon cartoon angry eyebrows and it's perfect

yeah that patch is *so* close to greatness

I prototyped the basic idea using AI (AI is not a replacement for creative effort) and the results are nearly everything I hoped they could be.



Basic idea but boring.



He homgry! I love the little fork.



There's a good bit of AI abominationing going on here, but the basic idea, I love it so much. Look at how angry at that drone he is! There should be more ratfink inspired unit patches.

What app did you use for that? I tried making some patch drafts recently with an AI tool and they didn't look nearly that good.

I used bing image creator. It's got a lot of restrictions but the training data is positively enormous. And probably illegal.

The art style was "military unit patch" and "cartoon chameleon"

^^^ edit: well that's an answer lol

From those of you with training/experience, what are the chances those hits have seriously hosed up the tank's optics? That is, if the bushmaster jammed, how likely the tank would be blind for shooty purposes?

Pretty damned high. every spark you see in that footage is a piece of white hot jagged metal flying very quickly, and that stuff doesn't tend to play nice with delicate things.

Do we think this is real? Never seen videos like that before

Does Iran have exoatmospheric ballistic missiles? Yes.
Are they believed to be capable? Yes.
Does Israel have anti-ballistic missiles believed to be capable of intercepting ballistic missiles? Yes.
Are they proven to be capable? Yes.
Does an explosion in space look like a rapidly expanding ball of glowing gas that is way less dramatic than what the movies would have you believe? Yes.

All of that doesn't mean the footage is real, but there's nothing tripping my bullshit alarms right now.
