You are imo wrong.
Fighter jets are far smaller, have greater power reserves. I remember playing flight sim and the biggest thing I could ever land successfully was a Learjet. In a big plane everything you do ..lags? More... It's hard.
Maybe a pilot would get used to it, but a guy who has done it in Sims seems like a safer bet.

I don't understand how you can treat Fuentards seriously.
They're a generally very stupid, they're led by homosexuals probably controller by law enforcement.
Their entire shtick is being an antisemitic caricature and crapping up replies with bs.
They're a punchline to an unfunny joke.

It costs not much. Can't rule out they'd get a good deal if impossible happens.

Same here but I think it's hard to do stuff like that, or at least was hard.
Also in Ukraine they're not doing that..

In slightly related news, I got btfo'd by gender neutral changing rooms at a local pool.
Going by newspapers googled while trying to get to the bottom of this retardation, they were made to be gender neutral in 2012 after they made an internet poll(!). This was somehow fixed because I distinctly remember there having been two doors and no women in the changing room.
After reconstruction, there's only one door to the changing rooms. They naturally segregated - guys are in the back, women are in the front so it's not that bad.
Great pool though. 50m long, has a small hot water pool, there's even a sauna and for €3 you can swim as much as you want. I'll be taking advantage of that.

...I doubt that. Last I checked MSFS was for those guys who loved having all of the bullshit on a plane down to the last button. That was a decade ago..

Yeah, I'm thinking there's someone in the fun and secretive part of Russian state who was just like me as a kid and wondering why you're not putting bombs in RC cars. Never got around to doing it as a kid only bc it was 1990s eastern Europe and we were just too poor, I think.

Are you familiar with Soviet attempts to find carrier battle groups?
I'm familiar China has a satellite constellation for the same and rocket propelled hypersonic drones. And also recently tested a pulse detonation engine for really high speeds.
I don't think is a problem for them. You can't intercept mach 5 drones 35 km up that evade at 15 G.. you simply don't have the dV for it.
some dude with a quadcopter, SIGINT, etc.
China is a panopticon state with a nationalist population.
But as I said above, I think it would be a dumb use of munitions. Which, again, goes to my point: having the theoretical ability to destroy something does not mean that such a course is easy, or even a good idea.
They only need to deter the carrier groups long enough to secure Taiwan.

this is an open secret in austin among the very well off tech set btw. ppl who know me know this cuz i have been telling them "you don't know the tenth of it..."
The true number of his children is at least low hundreds.
I don't think he's making it up and it's also somewhat in line with Elon's single-minded mindest. This is probably going to blow up eventually. I don't think this is bad, at all, depending on the arrangement.
Well, I guess SpaceX's future is secured then. If he went and offered some great deals to smart families, say $10 million for raising a biological child of mine along your other ones, the children are going to be brought up properly and there's decent odds they're going to be exceptionally able.

The US has the same (perhaps better) apparatus to kill Chinese missile launchers that China does to kill carriers, do
- Ok I'm going to reply in depth later but you shuold familiarize yourself with how well the 'Scud hunt' went during Gulf war
- the estimates for breaking through into an static, decades prepare air-defense grid (it's weeks in case of Russia)
- the multiple methods for detecting stealth planes (multilateration, undoubtedly networked parabolic microphones and more!
Also that China does have satellite dazzlers ready. In short US wouldn't be likely to acquire these launchers, wouldn't have much to hit them with - cruise missiles aren't great at following moving targets and also planes wouldn't be able to get near.

Imperium is a famous neo-nazi book after WW2 though..

by a guy who liked occult crap too, though he was a more harmless kind of perv- some sort of dominant sadist or something. Wisely ate cyanide after FBI arrested him.

I probably would not take either side of this bet.
Few modern Iranian missiles were intercepted in the last attack. Almost none. And these aren't as flat flying or as evasive as Iskander. Jamming satellites might work perhaps but it has inertial guidance so who knows how well..
No they have not.
That's your supposition, yank. Ask yourself what is a carrier group going to do when 128 maneuvering hypersonic glide vehicles appear over it.
Ask yourself how the carrier group is going to fare when it has what, 200 anti missiles. Even with perfect interception rates that's only 100 intercepted inbound missiles. Chinese LOVE large number production and they dug 1000kms of tunnels in mountains north of beijing.

They can shoot a lot of missiles out from China.
an anti-ship version to withstand the stress and heat of high-speed travel.
The earlier version solved this elegantly, the missiles just delivered guided bombs with a speed of 1000 m/s high up, maybe terminal 800 m/s. You can have seekers then no problem.
It'd still probably work because 100 of these would be very tough to intercept and even 5-10 hits would seriously degrade operations from a carrier. Ships are hard to sink but the internal operations aren't very redundant for reasons of space.
I'm not sure how the later version solve this, the HGV ones.

If this really is an SBU operation, they've taken leave of their senses and are running on pure emotion.
I don't think so either. At this point I'm pretty sure SS has to be using jammers. (BTW Putin has been reputedly jamming the shit out of area around his limo since early 2010s so it seems someone knew about FPVs back then)
I think the scam angle is more likely.

There's a rumor Scam Saltman is making a social network ..
If you are a bit paranoid and connect the dots obviously what is going to happen he's gonna get EU to ban twitter as extremist whatever and simultaneously roll out that and get people hooked on something that's much easier to police and functions better.
Remember: it's vibes
Neoliberals -The experts -TDSers -The elite media -Chinese and Canadian liberals -Deficit hawks
These people are all out of touch, with the exceptions of maybe Chinese. The perception of being 'up' or 'down' doesn't mean anything. In the long run, reality reasserts itself.

The ONA advocates accelerationism, and promotes the idea that human history can be divided into a series of aeons, each of which contains a corresponding human civilization. Adherents believe that the current aeonic civilization is that of the Western world, but that the evolution of this society is threatened by the "Magian/Nazarene" influence of the Judeo-Christian religion, which the Order seeks to combat in order to establish a militaristic new social order, which it calls the "Imperium". According to Order teachings, this is necessary in order for a galactic civilization to form, in which "Aryan" society will colonise the Milky Way. It advocates a spiritual path in which practitioners are required to break societal taboos by isolating themselves from society, committing crimes, embracing political extremism and violence, and carrying out acts of human sacrifice. ONA members practice magic, believing that they are able to do it by channeling energies into their own "causal" realm from an "acausal" realm where the laws of physics do not apply, and these magical actions are designed to help them achieve their ultimate goal of establishing the Imperium.
This is some quality lore on wikipedia. Science-Fiction literature and its consequences can be rather darkly funny. If you're not related to any of the victims of course.
There's a rather hefty list of crimes supposedly involving these guys.
I liked Uber. The art became meh in later issues.
