is there a vod?😭❤️🫡

They have MANPADS (Russian, Iranian, Chinese), and a few Repurposed R-27 (Soviet Sidewinder copy) missiles ripped off some MiGs that weren't airworthy following the blockade and bombing by Saudi forces.

Most of their static radar systems were either destroyed or not operational for air defence when they were seized from the Yemeni army. A lot of them were repurposed as artillery missiles.

They've taken down a bunch of reaper drones (as others have said) but also damaged/destroyed at least half a dozen F-16/F-15 fighters using the ground-launched R-27s in ambushes.

There's a reason these things are only ever fielded against inferior air defence networks.

All stealth aircraft have small radar signatures, not invisible, and an enemy with an active air defence network and enough time and knowledge can use ambush tactics to destroy them. This is exactly how the F-117 was downed by Yugoslavian Serbs:

1. They observed the area where the bomber was regularly approaching from for bombing missions. NATO complacency assumed using different aerial routes wasn't necessary.

2. Yugoslav missile systems were modified for quick redeployment, allowing them to operate despite heavy NATO air cover.

3. They explicitly calibrated early warning radars to detect the incoming stealth aircraft, reducing its range from 200km to just 24km. This gave an express warning of when to activate more precise tracking radars.

4. The ambush tactics, alongside the express warning given by the early warning radar, meant they were tracking the F-117 in question at the moment it was opening its bomb bay doors, allowing for a precise targeting lock by the S-125 radars.

5. Luck would have it that electronic warfare planes were grounded due to poor weather. This was known by Yugoslav commanders who had penetrated NATO communications and had sympathetic civilians revealing info on sorties. This helped the S-125 targeting radars to work more effectively and for longer (knowing they were unlikely to be detected) which ensured the kill.

An enemy that is complacent, gives up operational intelligence, and otherwise ignores basic operational procedures will never be totally invisible to the right combination of luck, planning, and cunning.

So she was told communism was bad by bad people who supported slavery?

Hezbollah just needs to ship a bunch of Hitler particle detectors to Tel Aviv through temu as revenge for the pager terror attacks. Probably wouldn't even make it off the boat without vaporising the entire port.

What's tofu dreg and where can I buy some

"they mock all sides™" yeah and it's very clear which one is their favourite lmao

DNC have responded by fixing up Harris with a shift at the local sommelier as a wine taster.

Liberals would support this because they absolutely LOVE a good referendum on the rights of people more vulnerable than them. They'll just get very upset and accept the results when fash nerds manipulate public opinion in favour.

isn't this that guy from one direction?

Donald trump proletarian arc when he realises those 4 hours flippin burgers was the first time he made money without having to declare bankruptcy afterwards.

Israeli "Defence" Forces be like: rest in peace colonel Yoav Shalom, who died valiantly protecting an open window in Rafah City. Yeah he was 17 years old and only finished basic training two weeks ago what about it?

happy birthday to the future president

"turn this place into an echo chamber" motherfucker Lemmy world has 10 times the users, and the only "echo chamber" shit I see is insistent Kamala Harris cope and seethe whenever someone mentions Israel or Palestine.

Meanwhile Lemmy . world mods change the TOS to spite individual communities, ban discussion of piracy despite it being perfectly legal and present on a different instance! Grow up.

US Democrat members get upset that the instance with 1600 users doesn't agree with their opinions

lemmy dot world moment

unironically how most of the red countries there handle the dissonance of condemning the holocaust whilst supporting all other genocides.
