thoughts and prayers if you’re lucky, best that they can do now is vagueposting

either they used that or whatever was shot down looked completely different

modern radar can measure speed, size, altitude of target and count turbine blades, allowing to figure out what it is. well, rotational speed of propeller in this case but logic is the same

whatever was shot down was shot by fighter jets, not gbad

the explanation that was given at the time was that drones that were assessed as armed were shot down near border (like the one that blew off roof - it was strictly speaking debris after shootdown) but decoys were allowed to crash on their own

yeah i understand that the proper thing to do would be burning Alabuga to the ground, but we’re kinda not in position to do that

from what i understand, there are now tests of anti-drone systems for purpose of procurement for polish army, and today i heard there’s some kind of training of polish air defense troops by ukrainians to be set up. other than that? they reacted according to doctrine, using what they had, mobilizing allied assets available in the area, could have been worse

they did, try to keep up. russia fucked off from turkey because su-24 also tends to have pilot who died, and this time it’s drones only

yeah and german toy makers were critical in supplying parts for arty fuzes in ww1. (i heard that soviet milk bottle filling machines could be repurposed for filling shells with molten explosives - both are dispensed hot, size is similar, not sure how real it is). company making complicated machinery out of many parts, requiring tight tolerances, made on-site, that already has tooling to make most of gun parts probably except barrels, makes sense that it could be pressed to make simple handguns.

so what. manufacturing got much more specialized, so that even if in past car factory could crank out entire tanks, they probably can’t do it today easily (parts, sure, even entire engines and transmissions. not armor plate, or ceramics, or tungsten inserts or whatever these have). that factory could make stamped steel parts of jdam, but probably not much more. mk80 series shells are basically 30cm-ish wide, 1cm-ish thick steel tubes, with notches on inside and necked down while hot from both sides. can’t do that without highly specialized machinery

there’s little overlap unless usaf decides to use samsung galaxy note 7 as warheads. unless you’re making generic printed boards out there, then it can go into anything

they should go straight to mercury pills, worked* for chinese alchemists

*worked in the sense that massive heavy metal poisoning can stop corpse decomposition for a while, which was taken as an auspicious sign in the context

very easily, previously these guys weren’t a target. asm launchers were, but these can get hidden in a cave rather quickly

it’s in the linked paper - 65+

fork found in kitchen

wdym, that’s the point

yes they do, wtf are you talking about https://futurism.com/openai-use-cheating-homework

if that task is offloaded to spicy autocomplete, all and any learning of this skill is avoided, so it’s not mega useful

CsCl is also much less active per gram because about half of fission product cesium is stable (on top of longer halflife)

the source getting damaged or corroded somehow is the simplest explanation i can think of now, cesium is likely in form of chloride which is very easily soluble in water

or maybe it was intentional sabotage by competitor, who the fuck knows

The best known Chinese rodenticide, containing about 6–20% TETS, is Dushuqiang, “very strong rat poison”. It has been used for mass poisonings in China: in April 2004, there were 74 casualties after eating scallion-flavored pancakes tainted by their vendor’s competitor; and in September 2002, 400 people were poisoned and 38 died from contaminated food.[11][12] In 2002, there was one documented case of accidental poisoning in the US.[6]

some foods (and other things, like blood and some other medical products) are irradiated in order to sterilize them and make them last longer, 137Cs sources are used for this purpose because this material is easily available but can’t be used for other purposes (like radiography)
