Footage circulating in Russian pro-military channels this week shows what is claimed to be a Russian laser weapon system engaging aerial drones, according to a Russian military blogger who described the video as an "exclusive." The blogger's post claimed several
I have a serious doubt that whatever Russia could cobble together would be an effective laser weapon for more than just demo.
Why?
Because even with all the stupid amount of money the usa spend on r and d we have few few operational and tested platforms… If a drone hit one it goes boom just like anything else. If we can’t field 30of the things in our wildest imagination I can’t imagine they can achieve. More than 2 or 3 operational units and they will get whacked eventually
The Russian economy is far more industrialized, while the US is far more financialized. Spending goes farther in Russia than it does in the US. I don’t think it’s far-fetched to think Russia could implement some degree of laser-based drone defenses.
I’ll give you that. One thing though. On a rainy or foggy night those defenses are worthless. Range goes in the crapper.
I don’t think the article above indicates that this is the only tool Russia has.
We get it … you like Russia.
The article above was specifically talking about lasers
I wouldn’t say I “like” Russia just because I don’t see them as some barbarian society like I see them portrayed as commonly. I am immensely critical of their nationalist, capitalist system, as any communist should be. I just understand that they are presently subject to imperialist encirclement, and this encirclement drives their hostile reaction.
Yeah the will of Ukraine will triumph against the slavic horde that hadn’t even seen asphaltroads, plumbing or anything but human wave assaults.
How to say you uncritically guzzle propaganda about the adversaries of the empire without saying it.
How to say I am a Russian bot in two lines.
yay my shitty meme <3
Our shitty meme.
But seriously, I really liked it so I saved it. Thanks for making it.
You gotta love how the first thing libs do is dehumanize anybody who disagrees with them. Scratch a liberal and…
Yep. And they’re always so quick to do it when they receive any pushback to the things they say.
ok there reddit brain
Is this the sequel to “Russia’s nukes probably don’t even work”?
No it’s more like Russias piss poor attempt at making their very own gps system while having none of the benefits of the USSR … 32 satellites launched so far. One lost … 4 or 5 in orbits so low as to be detrimental, not one so far has reached the target 800km goal . Second launches are dispersed in various geostationary orbits and completely varied. They needed a net to get geo location and they cats pebbles in the pond. There are ramifications to dumbing down the country.
Oh, you’ve been gorging on youtube thumbnail slop and this is the result.
