That, and he will only be in power for a couple more years. Even people who like him need to worry about the power and political culture that he has created, and how their opposition can use that against them later. Convincing militaries to do bad things has never been difficult for any party in history.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

This viewpoint is poisoning the Republican party. Trump will only be President for a couple years. He has greatly expanded the powers of the executive branch; powers that can easily be used against every Republican later. If you feel that the "liberals, Muslims and illegals" should be fearful, then you should be fearful as well. This is quite literally the foundational principle of this country...

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

I don't blame you, it still makes sense to use the way you do. It isn't a well defined technical term, it's just synonymous with descendants of the wullenweber design in the military sigint context. Out of curiousity though, do you have an image of an AN/AX-16 Pusher? I haven't been able to find one, or really much info about it. I love cold war sigint stuff.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

@sfx_ewss Oh yeah, I definitely agree there.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

CDAAs (a.k.a wullenweber or elephants cage) are composed of an array of many more antennas and a reflector that typically looks like a cage. They work through beamforming, and require the reflectors to stop the monopoles/dipoles from receiving in all directions. Now adays, when you see small amounts of antennas in a circle or triangle, that's usually a interferometer.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

Tailor it however you'd like, so long as its bounded by the rights of the people. Rights must be inalienable and equal for all people, even when it is problematic for many. This is because it is inevitable that a right will disappear for all when it becomes acceptable to selectively violate it, even if the reasoning for violation is good and altruistic.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

No. A legal system that works functions well regardless of the ethnicity of it's constituents.

It only excludes children born in the U.S. whose parents are foreign diplomats with immunity at the time of birth. Boris's parents were students at the time, not diplomats. Interestingly, Churchill also apparently wasn't actually an American citizen since only the father's citizenship was counted at that time.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

@reallyoptimized @Jeb4nyd3b1l @americansulla @sentdefender It is there to exclude children of diplomats and others with immunity. The exclusion goes back to English common law, and has hundreds of years of history that back up the courts decision.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

It's certainly not ideal at all; however, assuming this a correlative interferometer (not actually a CDAA but I get why people call them that), they can actually correct for antenna positioning error, signal distortion, and interference fairly well. Before this, there was a triangular interferometer array for years, so this is probably an upgrade rather than something temporary.

@sfx_ewss The supporting structures are all there in this Vantor image from May 27th, and there is no signs of work on the other side.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

The pads are basically identical to the ones built in Golmud next to a PLARF linked site (36.286442°N 95.099986°E), reported on here: https://t.co/n1bah4DN3h

Also, there are two of the bases that I have in my image, each has an identical check-out and high-bay facility. The check-out facility is somewhat similar to some
visible at the silo fields (Jilantai screenshot for reference). There are definitely some interesting differences between this one, Golmud, and more typical PLARF sites. Do you think it might be something else?

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

The #PLARF appears to have built an additional network of ~30 Golmund-style "launch pads" near #Ruoqiang in #Xinjiang, along with 5 bunkers and a base with high-bay and checkout facilities. I didn't spend that much time scanning the area, so there may be more.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

@sfx_ewss Awesome, thanks! That brings it to 72 now.

@pir34 Thanks!

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

@pir34 Were you aware of these? They are quite old, but I can't find any reports of them via reverse image search or anything.

[Andrew @Collapsonaut]

Examining these sites more closely reveals a couple interesting details. Each bunker appears to have 3 ~6m x 24m stalls. For each pair of bunkers, there appears to be 6 curved launch pads and 1 straight-in deployment pad.
