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.
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.
I agree, if the point had been we didn’t have enough energy storage at the grid scale to accommodate the excess power I would agree with that. Instead, it points out the price.
Nobody wants to be a pig, or live in Louisiana.
It is entirely their purpose, but you will never know about it publicly. Everything related to space is classified to the highest degree at this point in time.
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.
Fear and anger with absolutely no critical thought put into the issues. The two most primal feelings somebody can have.
Imagine how much further we would be as a society if we didn’t have to deal with this stupid shit.
We should have reconstructed harder…
There’s no pressure until we either stop exporting weapons, or limit it to iron dome projectiles.
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.
This isn’t real, right? RIGHT!?
Fucking, HOW!?
