Man it's so distracting when you are trying to screw in the attachment for a plasmagun onto your drone and there are bits of brain scattered on the floor.
Even an unarmed drone can still take detailed images of a sensitive technical system.
This happens so often.
I think every such site, every airport, including civilian ones, every port, maybe even data center and power plant will need its own dedicated counter-drone system.
🇵🇱 UPDATE: Poland’s Defence Ministry has clarified the drone incident near the US Aegis Ashore base at Redzikowo.
MON says the aircraft was a civilian drone and did not fly over the base itself. It nevertheless violated the designated drone no-fly zone, was continuously tracked by military air-defence systems, and the military identified the location from which its operator was controlling it. Police and other authorities were then notified.
The ministry says the drone never approached critical parts of the base and posed no threat.
Worth noting, however, that “civilian drone” does not necessarily mean harmless. Small commercially derived drones can be weaponised - as demonstrated daily by explosive FPV drones in Ukraine, and more recently by the explosive-laden drone found at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
There is no evidence the Redzikowo drone was weaponised. But an unauthorised drone inside the restricted zone around one of NATO’s most sensitive installations remains noteworthy.
@millerman a healthy cult is required to align groups of people towards a common goal, without which there can be no agentic organization, just grey bureaucracy
but line one must walk is thin
@azide_enjoyer@Object_Zero_ Yeah I head what happened to him from Brandon, terrible. Then sciencemadness went down, and for a moment it seems like energetics is dead but at least that's back now.
@azide_enjoyer@Object_Zero_ What is the advantage vs NHN?
The strongest motivator for lead-free primaries is to reduce toxicity. Perchlorates seem questionable under that lens, no?
I guess it's probably more powerful, as perchlos tend to be.
Maybe cheaper w/ lower Ni content & you need less hard to say.
@azide_enjoyer@Object_Zero_ Obv. also NQ derivatives like ANQN and some melt-cast alternatives to TNT are underutilised. TNT doesn't really offer satisfactory performance from my pov but it is pretty damn stable w/ scalable production etc.
@azide_enjoyer@Object_Zero_ What are some concrete examples? I think lead azide&styphnate have no real justification for existence anymore with stuff like NHN&tetrazoles available, but would be curious to hear what you think.
Actually most power grabbing is done sincerely, as most grabbers actually believe that the world is better off with them in charge. So there's no need to posit insincerity to be skeptical of such grabs.
@TheEconomist It's interesting how the people who run this system can set up mechanisms to document its lies in detail without ever catching a hint of doubt about its premises.
Areligion is indeed a fascinating social phenomenon.
@arctotherium42 Was he that wrong? Sure, there was a jolt of energy and desire for revenge in the short term, but in the long term, americans did grow a lot more isolationist because they no longer want to bear the costs of empire.
