Why does an "unguided" bomb need inertial and satellite guidance systems?
it turns the dumb bomb into a makeshift cruise missile which is whole lot cheaper
Unlike American bombs, the Russian FAB bombs are made in one piece.
Are you really even living if one of your cooking pots doesn't have "Made in Czechoslovakia" printed on the bottom?
If that were America, those soldiers would've been murk'ed by hillbillies with AR-15's.
I still got some old Soviet cutlery in the kitchen and a bunch of Soviet tools in the garage. Still using old Soviet pliers to this day, wrapped in blue electrical tape and all.
When was the last time that happened tho?
I don't think its ever happened in the US, so its pretty much just "theory", however, rural Americans are at the present time, the heaviest armed, so I imagine any government attempt to round up rural people to send to a war they are ideologically against would be met with an armed response.
It sure helps when you're just trying to make a weapon that does a thing well, not a multitool that can adapt to every possible situation. They slapped modernized electronics and guidance techniques onto an otherwise simple and dedicated platform. Engineers of all stripes tend to succeed in environments where they have clear, conflict-free goals.
There is a lot of standoffs between the police and random fuckheads. It just often makes the news and people forget it an hour later. Also the initial outbreak of rioting during 2020 was really hectic and the police got overwhelmed very fast, some of the footage was people just taking potshots with pistols and rifles as police cars were driving by. Americans are largely docile by nature but when the genie gets out of the bottle its really fucking hard to put it back in without overwhelming force. Half of the current crime wave in the US is directly derived from the 2020 disorders.
France is desperately trying to stay relevant as a military power, despite not having the ability and resources to back it up. That's why they're making bold statements that they don't intend to follow through with, trying to "fake it till they make it." Losing central Africa was a big blow to French elites so this is the form their coping and sneeding takes.
The problem is that they aren't ideologically opposed to wars on behalf of our oligarchs; look how they were easily manipulated into believing that in order for the Second Coming to occur jews and their temple are an absolute prerequisite so we must send billions of our tax payer's money to Israel and defend it with our lives, despite that being an absolute heresy in every iteration of legit Christianity.
The last thing that happened that was comparable was the Bundy standoff and the killings afterward. That was around 2014 tho.
We'll you're talking an organized militia standoff, the 2020 riots was a lot of individual actions and opportunistic mob action pushing police back and firing on them when they were overwhelmed. The original topic was about randoms just beating the shit out of press gang members and the analogue to this would be police/court order servers getting shot to shit, which happens all the time.
Its a dog on a leash.
