“*No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice.*” - Clarice Lispector

Absolutely
Yes but Ukraine actually knows what they are talking about.
Russia is too obsessed with using drones to fantasize that they make the strategy of investing in the lives of infantry and framing them as highly skilled positions an obsolete doctrine, which is a fatal delusion as it always has been and always will be.
What the hell does China actually know about small unit infantry and combined arms engagements?
Not the military I would want to learn from, their tanks blow themselves up when they try to shoot and they have no established fighting culture with realworld experience.
MRAPS and M113s doing what they do best.
Wouldn’t that be how it feels after you have accepted you are outsane?
They look inherently a little silly but the thing about netguns is they can be used in dense populated areas without fear of stray bullets, debris or counter-drone explosives hurting people you were trying to protect.
Thus in terms of future threats of terrorism using drones, netguns are the natural and necessary kinetic counter.
The prime minister is facing political pressure to tackle grooming gangs, which has become a key campaigning issue for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK in Labour’s heartlands.
I am always surprised when the UK shows it is even more full of and controlled by authoritarian rightwing fascists than the US, it hardly seems possible and yet here we are.
The hardest part about air defense is making sure EVERYONE involved is trained, aware of the context and not bullshitting.
This is why you can’t bullshit air defense.
The only thing that can slow down the coming counter-offensive against russia from entirely shattering russia and taking large swathes of territory is Trump, and he will eventually stop it but it will cost russia and Trump material concessions to Ukraine do so.
Can’t wait to see lots of these being dropped on russians who are refusing to stop fighting.
Putin is Trump’s Daddy
If Trump doesn’t Nuke Iran Netanyahu will, Trump is a coward, but the entire world thinks that makes him more likely to fold when it actually makes him far more likely to wrecklessly escalate.
Honestly I think they realized how hopelessly the russian war machine had already been broken before they stepped into the picture in force and once they realized how bad it was they started backing away slowly promising to help from further away.
Sufficiently desperate people can be found.
Weird I am not sure.
I always include the normal youtube url though.
We truly are on a shitty timeline.
Oops I think the Invidious link needs some time to begin working for a new video, I don’t know why.
edit it is working for me now
Oh true there could have been
Looks like someone did not correctly factor the height of a building into their flightpath. Definitely doesn’t look like that was the target.
This underscores the importance of developing basic object avoidance autonomous capability for automatically pulling up if something is sensed in the flightpath.
Edit a situation like this could also be caused by gps spoofing making the drone think it is somewhere else than it is by my point still stands.
No?

Debanking, an Authoritarian Threat to the Left (jacobin.com)
Unlike Germany’s numerous amorphous groups from the autonomous tradition, however, Rote Hilfe operates as a legal organization in compliance with federal law. It is registered as an association, has an official HQ, and maintains an elected federal executive committee as well as local chapters and activities in the public sphere. Although it is regularly attacked by Germany’s ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and features prominently in reports by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, it is not a banned organization. This makes the repression it is currently facing all the more astonishing.

How is Ukraine beating Russia in the drone war? (kyivindependent.com)
Russian advances on the battlefield have largely stalled in 2026, as the Ukrainian military has learned to counter Russian infiltration tactics and Ukrainian drones continue to reap a terrible toll on its advancing infantry. Critically, Ukraine is now killing or seriously wounding more Russian soldiers than the Kremlin can recruit.

Deep in the Sumy forests of Ukraine, a special Ukrainian gunner unit called ‘Kraken’ spend their days plotting attacks against Russian opposition, while evading life threatening counter attacks, particularly from drones. Using the forest as their shield, these brave soldiers work tirelessly together continuing the fight to push back Russian forces, while expertly camouflaging their monstrous weapon.
