Oh, that I’m not sure of. I misunderstood what you were asking, sorry about that
While I don’t know about actual jets launching munitions over Russian airspace, Ukraine did successfully hit a Shahed drone factory over 1,000 km from the Russia-Ukraine border with what appears to have been one of these light aircraft converted to be unmanned. So Russia’s air defence is definitely not impenetrable.
Well they’ve been flying Su-24s, and the F-16s certainly shouldn’t be any less capable than those for this sort of thing
Can Ukraine use stormshadows within Russia?
The UK okayed it a couple of weeks ago, France this week
Nice gesture but why would Ukraine risk losing their new toys on adventurism where is work closer to to home to be done.
Where the frontline is close to the official border, Russia is able to keep its artillery and logistics on the Russian side of the border where Ukraine is not allowed to use half of its equipment. Russia’s ongoing Kharkiv offensive is an example of this
Now if they were supplying rockets with ranges over 200km
France and Britain have been supplying the storm shadow missile, which has almost three times that range. Ukraine has been launching it from its own Su-24 aircraft, but those are very old and there aren’t a lot of them left. The F-16 could be a good new platform to launch them from. As I understand it, storm shadow and F-16 are not compatible out of the box and would need some modification, but the same was true for the Su-24 and that appears to have worked out
If you read the article you will see that it is about importing materials like rare earth metals from China
Several NATO members have already okayed this for Ukraine and remain distinctly un-nuked. Plus, of course, the Ukrainians have been doing it with their domestically-produced gear for ages and also haven’t been nuked.
China isn’t that big for domestic cobalt extraction, it’s Chinese companies working in other countries. The biggest reserves are in Congo-Kinshasa and Australia, but Australia doesn’t extract much
Because someone paid him to. The man is a grifter to the very core
Actual explanation: these squid are transparent normally, but can turn on a dark pigmentation when that is a more effective camouflage. Being transparent works quite well most of the time, but if the predator has its own light source (as several deep-sea predators do) then their transparent state becomes a problem, because it’s relatively reflective compared to the water around them. In this situation, turning on the dark pigment helps them blend in with the dark water better.
The language used seems very Abrahamic for a Hindu nationalist. Like consistently referring to a singular God usually referred to only as God. Is this some translation weirdness, or is it just normal language that’s surprising me because I’m not familiar with the context? I know that a lot of denominations of Hinduism hold one of the gods as being the primary one, but even that seems like it would be a fast way to alienate other denominations
If your PC’s region is set to an EEA country, you actually do get additional options to turn stuff off or uninstall things. Uninstallation of Edge and Copilot is apparently coming soon… for the EEA. But you can just tell your PC you’re in an EEA country.
Spain is a particularly interesting one. They’re not normally too keen on recognising any sort of breakaway region so as not to legitimise the Catalan independence movement. Take a look at a map of recognition of Kosovo for an example. Not that I’m complaining by any means; it’s a welcome surprise
It’s nothing to do with it being an acronym, it’s just because the first sound pronounced is a vowel sound. Similarly, it’s “an FPS”, “an ATM”, and “an SUV”, but “a PPV event” and “a USB stick”
Over here in the UK we had the goddamn Home Secretary describe climate protestors as the “tofu-eating wokerati” in a speech in the actual House of Commons a few years back
Heavy spoilers ahead for anyone who is, for some reason, in this thread having not seen it
Obviously you’re 100% entitled to feel however you feel about the movie, but I am a little confused by this. Wallace (Leto’s character) was the driving force behind basically the entire film. K got accidentally wrapped up in Wallace’s attempt to find the replicant child. That’s what Dave Bautista’s character was hiding at the start, it’s why Luv went to capture Deckard, and learning about it is what ultimately motivated K to go rescue Deckard in the end.
Ehhh it’s a mixed blessing with China. The country’s power consumption increased by an average of about 1,100 TWh per year during 2012-2022, which is outpacing the newly-added solar and wind generation in the article by a factor of four. It’s great that they’re adding so much clean power, quite the opposite that they’re adding even more less clean power
Edit: I should add that these numbers don’t specify hydro or nuclear capacity added. Not all of the gap is fossil fuels
We could so easily choose to use the spelling Ouranos and drop the Y sound at the start, but in our hearts we clearly don’t want to
I’m technically not on lemmy but I will enthusiastically throw my vote behind the TBBT-is-shit cause
To be honest though it’s still just a shit TV show. There are plenty of those around. It’s not woth giving them much thought
Having used all three types a fair bit, holy shit yes a good induction hob is leagues above the old electric coil ones
I’m still using it. I’ve got nice headphones and speakers that run off of a cable and no interest in top-end phones, so it makes sense to get a phone that fits the more expensive audio stuff rather than a bunch of adapters. Nokia’s cheaper smartphones have served me quite nicely
