@xyfdi my mistake.
However, I think even with DEWs the problem of extremely small radar signature remains.
There's no point having a high-tech AAA weapon if it can't find and fix the target in time.
Apparently Ukraine is developing "sound detectors" to track fiber optic drones specifically (they are louder than normal drones).
Anyways, the fiber optic drones are used by both sides, so I guess everyone's laughing...
@xyfdi and fiber optic drones are designed so that EW has no effect on them to begin with (cables = no jamming).
*Edit: Here is an interesting article from last year which elaborates on fiber optic drones.

@xyfdi much of the anti-drone stuff is just stop-gap measures.
Russia and Ukraine both use slat-armour. Ukraine just does it more professionally I guess. The Russian way to do it is haphazardly.
Regarding EW and AAA, EW is more effective, but you have to switch it off to use your own drones. It's a purely defensive measure.
All drones use the same frequency, ergo you can't use EW on the offensive unless you accept that you won't have your own drone cover (potentially deadly mistake). It's why Israel didn't deploy EW in Gaza, and why the Palestinian resistance were able to spoof signals and hijack Israeli drones easily and regularly.
AAA is largely ineffective against drones unless they're coming from high up. Low-level fiber optic drones are wrecking havoc on both Ukrainian and Russian positions.
The last part is ominous.
Drones started by being kamikazes, then grenade droppers, and now they're gun-armed.
Robots are taking over.
First they came for Liveleak, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Liveleaker...
@Jazzy_Butts I genuinely believe that a major influence in the design of the Wargs from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy were Pitties...

Maybe I will just make a thread of this...
Here's a case from the U.K. from only 1 month ago.
Again, given a reduced sentence (1 year) and minimal fine (300 squid, bruh).
And here's one from Ireland:
Another case, this time from Belgium.
Interesting that his sentence is so lenient, even though it was pretty much determined that he lied...

It's really not covered enough, that many of the "pedo hunters" turn out to be pedophiles themselves, or at the very least can be seen as guilty of the same sort of crimes (some of them even possess CP themselves to "lure" pedos, see this case: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/31/canada-arrest-pedophile-hunting-group-explicit-images).
@LukeAlmighty I used to exercise when working from home :(
MAGA councilman who makes Facebook/TikTok videos about "Make Pedos Afraid Again" turns out not to just be a pedophile, but one who acts on his "impulse" with his own stepdaughter without any consent.
The pedo equivalent of a guy with a smoll pp who buys a Hummer to hide his own insecurities...

Elon is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) pushers of AI shit, bro.
He is involved with it (AI funding), it's just that the injection was given to his AI competitors, so that's why he's angry.
Generally, Elon loves government handouts for his companies.

I just remembered this time during Christmas/NY's the family were having a discussion about dog breeds, and the subject of Pitbulls came up, and my Mum just straight-up said "they should all be killed".
She's a pussyhat liberal, btw haha
