@MissingAFew90 @yatharthmaan Watch any of the Tim Dodd interviews, anyone who's an engineer can spot his fluency with rocket trades and principles. It's very obviously different to a CEO who was an engineer 10-20 years earlier but hasn't practiced in a while.
@Noahpinion@CartoonsHateHer Nah bollocks, in countries with a big gender pay gap they have equally low coupling rates and equally reducing birth rates. The only thing that correlates well to falling birthrates everywhere is where they got substantial penetration of the mobile internet.
@GaiJuliCaesar@KMikietynski@RishiSunak Ah whataboutism, Russian troll 101. I suspect that as a nuclear engineer I probably wouldn't be drafted even if I were Ukrainian, but I am quite happy to be taxed another 1% which if everyone in the EU/UK did would drive your friends back into the shit hole you emerged from.
@KMikietynski@RishiSunak You mean like they have already done it have been doing since before the Ukraine invasion. They are a gangster state and if there was something they could do they would have already done it.
@MassiPaciugo@jonburkeUK This is the far simpler option than wishing cars away and hoping people will take the bus or buy a cargo bike. Planning and finance for this would be the principle difficulty. However I think it would be a massive vote winner if government facilitated this nationally.
@dotsandfreckles@jonburkeUK Cars will be electric soon, if you comment back about brake dust air pollution you don't understand vehicles! Behaviour change is difficult particularly if you want people to do something harder. Simple option, put the cars somewhere else, nudge, pool car can park on street.
@Jonny_J_@DefenceHQ@AskPerplexity The system mounted on a naval drone is particularly deadly. It can engage helicopters, it can also precisely target, radars and CIWS to render the target defenceless. Disadvantages are unless you make the launch mount remote the operator is close to the launch point.
@Jonny_J_@DefenceHQ@AskPerplexity Putting the intelligence in launcher means that countermeasures to the automatic guidance are easy to feed back to the manufacturer and to update via software. Unlike an IR guided round this can also be used as a long range precision strike weapon on ground/sea targets.
@Val85960950@Jonny_J_@DefenceHQ@AskPerplexity It's a production contract for new missiles. It's part of the Starstreak product line, it is laser beam riding and will hit anything that you can point it at inc. glide bombs. This makes it inherently flexible in a way that an IR guided weapon isn't.
@Rockhilll@DefenceHQ Assuming you aren't a Russian bot look up the fallacy of moderation. The middle ground between truth and a lie isn't the optimum position. Russia started this, they need to be made to give up and the security guarantees need to be sufficient to stop them having another go.
@thinkdefence Tweets can indicate things that aren't free, @Kier_Starmer please spend 1% of GDP on arming Ukraine until Russia loses, I'm happy to pay 1% of my income to this. If the EU does this Russia inevitably loses.
