The crazy thing is that the Air Force, Army, and just about every other branch of the military has contracted or is looking to contract with Space X to get Starlink. He doesn't have a problem with providing the US with that capability because we're not in direct conflict, but will deny it to ukraine when it's in Russia's favor.

After this I, I would totally re-look those agreements.

Government contracts for Starlink services

Imagine how much further we would be as a society if we didn't have to deal with this stupid shit.

Don't forget the confederate flag and everything in its likeness!

We accepted it in 2014, when Russia took Crimea, hoping that would satiate their dreams of the Soviet Empire and here we are nearly 10 years later. The Russian government does not act in good faith, and if we don't crush their capability to wage war we'll see them try to take the rest of Ukraine and beyond.

These guys may as well be the modern day equivalent of Neville Chamberlain.

Fear and anger with absolutely no critical thought put into the issues. The two most primal feelings somebody can have.

That's bullshit and a cop-out. Every country in NATO joined willingly because every country should have some level of self-determination. NATO grew because decade after decade, the Russian government proved that they act in bad faith in nearly every interaction with the international community.

Maybe if Russia acted in good faith and was willing to be a partner in the region, neighboring countries wouldn't have felt the need to join NATO, but here we are.

Pacifism doesn't work. We've seen it time and time again that it just buys our adversaries time, and we end up where we're at today.

Unfortunately an appeals court reduced the bond.

Nah, you're not crazy. This round has 2048 ball bearings in it that are effective out to 300 meters.

The cage is supposed to detonate the heat round (which both the rpg and javelin have to some extent) prior to impacting the actual armor. There's usually a shaped charge in the round and a stand off with the primer in it that ignites the round at the convergence point of the shaped charge. If you set that off prior to the round hitting the armor it'll just splatter against the armor rather than penetrate it. Some weapons have a tandem charge, that has two shaped charges to help it get through ERA or I imagine cope cages.

Fucking, HOW!?

We should have reconstructed harder...

From experience, you're not wrong. Let's be honest, being a service member doesn't separate them from their faults as humans. You take an undereducated kid from Mississippi and make him a Soldier, they're still that undereducated kid with no critical reasoning skills.

As others have said, you can't passively bypass GNSS jamming. The signal more or less has the same amount of power as a 60 watt light bulb, transmitted from a satellite out in Medium Earth Orbit. You throw enough energy at the same frequency as the signal and it's over. There are ways to improve the receivers resilience by giving it more signals to connect to (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) or several signals being transmitted by the same constellation (L1, L2, L5).

Also, many different systems occupy pretty much the same frequencies, just with different characteristics which makes all the signals more susceptible.

This isn't real, right? RIGHT!?

I'm a product of the Idaho education system, and it's not great. Luckily got a start in Washington, so it didn't ruin me completely. But that result does not surprise me at all.

There is no place in government for this bullshit... I'm so tired of these idiots being voted for.

I've searched (not researched) a little bit and it appears that the categories that they may be referring to are petroleum products, coal, nuclear, and then renewables.

There's no pressure until we either stop exporting weapons, or limit it to iron dome projectiles.

Man, those guys are good. Looks like they line up a perfect shot to hit where the turret joins the hull.
