My wife doesn't understand that while every girl wanted to be a Disney princess at some point, every boy wanted to be a fighter pilot. Ace Combat is the equivalence of the "ultimate Disney princess simulator" for men in that regards. Though I think all women should play it too.

乌克兰最近把一架相对完好迫降的俄军最新型“天竺葵-4”（Geran-4）无人机，当场大卸八块。

拆完之后，桌上摆着的零件，呈现出一个既荒谬又无比现实的真相：

整架号称打得乌克兰防空防不胜防的喷气大杀器，除了最外面的机壳和总装螺丝是俄罗斯自己拧的，
里面所有的关键器官，几乎全是从外面运进来的。

先看动力。
过去老款天竺葵-2用的是活塞螺旋桨，飞起来像拖拉机一样嗡嗡响，时速不到两百公里，乌克兰机动防空队开着皮卡架挺机枪就能拦截。
但这次拆开天竺葵-4，机腹里塞的是一台微型涡喷发动机。
飞行高度直接从四千米拔到了八千米，是老款的两倍；
巡航时速干到了四百五十到五百公里，甚至还能更快。
这玩意儿已经能从克里米亚起飞，一口气狂奔七百多公里，直接扎进乌克兰西北部的卢茨克。
谁造的？
拆开一看，中国产的微型涡喷。有些虽然标着俄罗斯组装，核心组件也全是中国货。

再看眼睛。
头部装了一套光电转塔，白昼、夜视、红外三合一。
十倍光学变焦，加三十二倍数码变焦。
八千米的高空往下看，地面车辆的轮廓一清二楚。
它根本不需要前线侦察兵冒死指引。操纵员哪怕坐在几百公里外的布良斯克、奥廖尔或者克里米亚的后方工位上，只要链路连着，就能像玩模拟器一样实时遥控它扑向目标。

那实时信号怎么传？
专家从机身里抠出了两个普通的 GSM 模块，上面插着民用电话卡。
更离奇的是，现场技术人员在这些残骸里，不仅翻出了俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的 SIM 卡，甚至还找到了乌克兰本土运营商、以及欧盟国家的流量卡。
无人机只要一过境，直接蹭乌克兰本地民用基站的网络，把自己的实时位置往回传。

万一飞进没有手机信号的荒郊野岭呢？
它还有备手。
拆解人员从里面掏出了一块来自中国的自组网 Mesh 调制解调器，通信半径三百公里。
几架天竺葵在空中编队飞，彼此之间能自动互相当中继，你传给我、我传给后方，直接在天上搭出一套无中心的移动局域网，几百公里外的视频画面照样掐不断。

最后拆到最值钱的机载电脑飞控板。
刮开主板上的涂层，芯片上的丝印虽然被磨去了一半，但剩下的英文字母依然清晰可辨：
Texas Instruments——美国德州仪器。

现场专家给了一句很冷酷的总结：
“这架飞机上真正属于俄罗斯制造的，就只有复合材料的机身外壳，以及最后的总装车间。”

这些零件最后运到鞑靼斯坦的阿拉布加（Alabuga）特区，工人们把壳子一合、螺丝一拧，就成了前线每天夜里呼啸而过的精确打击武器。
而根据乌克兰军情局的评估，像阿拉布加这样的工厂，现在每个月能量产大概三千架天竺葵-4和天竺葵-5。

打了四年多，制裁令签了一叠又一叠，结果最前沿的致命武器内部，流淌的依然是全球供应链的血液：
动力与通信来自成熟民用货架，核心控制芯片来自美国转道走私，连定位回传都在蹭对手基站的 SIM 卡。

这才是现代战争里最棘手的现实：
威权体制根本不需要在温室里从头研发一套自给自足的军工帝国。
只要民用消费级工业品在全球随处可买，只要洗钱通道和转口贸易依然处处漏风，
他们就能用极低的成本，把全世界的民用技术拼装成工业级的杀人工厂。

如果外部世界的制裁只盯着军品清单打补丁，却堵不住庞大的双用途灰色管涌，
这种廉价而致命的涡喷蜂群，在流水线上就很难真正停下来。

Ok, guys we need your help to make ourselves heard.
@Sketchfab @kitbash3d @ArtStationHQ
It's been now 12 days. 12 days that we have sent sketchfab a DMCA request regarding our proprietary 3D models, regarding a repeat offender banned twice under Epic management. Ever since Sketchfab has joined the kitbash family, there is simply no more support, no more hope. It seems it has become some sort of lawless space where anybody can post somebody else's IP with little consideration for consequence. They say they're busy, they'll get back when they reach our ticket - but how come we've been waiting for that long while every request under Epic never took more than 3 days? Do we expect safe harbor to apply when the illegal material has been known to be around for nearly 2 weeks?
Please RT, please like, please support. It feels like they will start to act responsibly only under duress. We were thinking of bringing our business to them, but it seems there's nothing out there to protect us from predatory practices anymore. I kid you not, we had better results when negotiating with Russian individuals regarding the same topic.
A bit of a shame, especially when taunting us with future AI moderation.
Thank you all. Thank you for our 3d artists.

On July 23, 1968, the only F-111B ever to work a carrier deck went aboard USS Coral Sea off California. BuNo 151974 finished 9 arrested landings and 10 catapult shots without a problem, four days after the Navy’s stop-work order had already killed production.

The swing-wing interceptor trapped about 10 knots slower than the F-14 that replaced it and was easier on the wires even though it recovered some 4,000 pounds heavier. Arrestor tests at Patuxent River in February had come first. Navy leaders had already written the jet off as overweight and unsuited to the boat, but the approach was smooth and the airplane sat well on the ball.

The F-111B never reached the fleet. Its AWG-9 radar and Phoenix missiles did. 🫡

This isn't funny.
This isn't amazing.
This isn't Precision.
This is dangerous.

I was taught a long time ago that aviation regulations are written in blood.
If this was "planned" then the entire airline needs to be shut down and the crew and management need to be banned.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

This is starting to feel like an episode of Yes, Minister.

President:
“I want the island moved forward. It will look much better.”

Admiral:
“An excellent and characteristically decisive proposal, Mr President.”

President:
“So you’ll do it?”

Admiral:
“Certainly. We have already initiated a comprehensive interdepartmental feasibility assessment.”

President:
“How long will that take?”

Admiral:
“The preliminary study should be completed shortly before the detailed study can begin.”

President:
“And when can you move the island?”

Admiral:
“That will depend on the findings of the independent review of the preliminary assessment.”

Then establish:

— A flight-deck operations working group
— An airflow and turbulence study
— A stability and weight assessment
— A cost-benefit analysis
— An environmental impact review
— A flight-safety risk assessment
— A congressional report on industrial capacity
— A comparative study with the Nimitz class

Two years later, the report concludes that moving the island is:

“Technically achievable, subject to substantial further analysis.”

Civil-service English for:

It is a completely insane idea, and we intend to wait until you are gone.

Sir Humphrey would call it a courageous decision. 😎⚓
