seriously though if that damage is the result of an aim-120 im val kilmer. apparently the september oopsy apartment block boom was from an AGM-88 HARM which has a 70kg warhead (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/24/world/europe/ukraine-american-missile.html) according to uh, this fun nyt article. no pictures of the apartment it hit but the debris pictures look kinda piddly. anyway, weird!

I'm guessing they're talking about Russia bombing civilian infrastructure since folks like Ursula von der Leyen have called that a war crime. The problem is, according to most countries' stated rules of war, that's not actually a war crime under certain circumstances. For example, the US DoD Laws of War manual says the following:

probably but it was far enough away from that talk and close enough to the ukrainian's strongest amraam ever made that i wanted to imply something else

also yeah war crimes for theyto and not nato. (destroying civilian water/power infrastructure is almost always a war crime though, if im keeping score)

yeah i knew nobody was immune to propaganda but it's been wild to see this level up uptake and adherence by people. granted I was a teenager at the time, but I do not remember as many people getting as wrapped up in the post-911 fervor anywhere near as much as this. it does seem to be dying down though.

I'd respect them more if they actually believed it. It's the combination of zeal and certainty with total plasticity that makes it so hard for me to square.
I know you can say the only true underlying belief is class interest but that's not really satisfying because who knows how much of that is even conscious?

More like autotrim. All the time. Every surface. And sort of? It's both more and less. Those airframes are still dynamically stable and you wont be able to just put them into unrecoverable states very easily given infinite altitude (exception - P-63)

I'm not exactly sure how much you can "manually" control everything on modern aerodynamically unstable jets and there are a lot of automatic control things that are there not for the static instability of the jet but because of certain poo poo that happens at certain speeds/mach regimes. You can fly an Su27 in DCS and enable "direct control" (still lots of interpreted inputs - also not sure if this is how it works in real life?) and still fly for a bit until you make a mistake and start doing unintended flips. With some practice you can just fly in "direct" mode, which I think gives a pretty good intuition for what aerodynamically unstable means.

But yeah I think most crashes are legitimately due to failures of other systems or pilot error that wasn't really due to aerodynamic instability. It's not really a benefit that's actually a huge fundamental hubristic flaw like the Boeing poo poo or having weak rear end elevators on a series of jets that loved to crash.






The actual scary part of all that is that a lot of the control systems were prototyped in matlab/simulink and then almost certainly just spat out by matlab's patented simulink compiler for people who just want to fly already.
