I hate calling it AI, since it was preprogramed, but it has existed in the late '60s, including not only missiles targeting specific parts of the ship (one for machinery, other bridge etc) but also missiles communicating during flight and adopting approach based on potential targets formation changes, in order to skip a screen and hit most important targets. IIRC SubBrief channel has a good discussion Soviet missiles capable of all that (and not just that), under, IIRC "Papa" submarine video.

There was no "war" being declared and "wartime" powers enacted by... anyone in last, IDK, 50+ years, so I am not sure it is really relevant how Russians or anyone else calls their wars.

Because primary defense was always, and still is, not being spotted. And spotting hello low to earth is much, much harder than one flying few 100s m high. There. What other MANPADS are in the British army so they could compare? Yeah... "Dumb Arabs" again.

Majority was, is and will almost always be silent about polarizing topics.

So something written 20 years ago on net* could be used as proof of "hate crime"? That an total violation of "no retroactive applications of crime laws" if any. *Let's say, what someone wrote on TN after 9/11...

Yeah, mighty Starstreak that Ukrainians are saying is "difficult to use and not fully suitable for a conditions of the war" (IOW, polite way of saying "junk") and requesting more Stingers...

They were:

But unlike full MP-5, MP-5K sucks quite a bit. I could see it's appeal for very secret squirrels who needed weapon as compact as possible, while capable of full auto, but for anyone else regular MP-5 was better.

There are IiRC 2 or 3 documented loses. Another 2-3 damaged and sent back for repairs.

None, including Steiner claimed it was false. But it is not a historical document either.

Karlo/Karl Stajner/Steiner, who has spent quite a bit of time in gulag (his book was named "7000 days in Sibiria") also considered Solzhenitsyn works (those were published in Yugoslavia) to be "...mostly collections of prison stories, half-truths and outright fairy-tales. Reality was much worse."

Liar, liar, pants on fire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Deir_ez-Zor_(2014–2017)

AFAIK yes.

What is a high capacity magazine? 100 rounder? 30 rounder? 10 rounder? Why is it a "bad" thing? What kind of moron do you have to be to think that non-living object can be either morally "bad" or morally "good"?

Also there is pretty much no point in quoting (or reading) Politika, it is government (any government as long as it is in power) rag pretending to be serious newspaper. My personal opinion about recognition of Taiwan - I sympathize Taiwan far more than China. On the other hand, from a state aspect, since Taiwan has recognized Kosovo, why should Serbia spoil relations with China, country that did not in order to recognize Taiwan as independent country?

I would not say that it was out of control, it was traversed, probably in attempt to engage something. You can see that traverse stops at one moment. Crew probably thought it was a RPG hit and wanted to engage back.

Again - bureocracy does not care about type of tank - tank is tank, and if it is functional "desecration" of it will be as bad as removing a turret from T-90M. Also, what is your obsession with removing turrets as a prerequisite for an engineer vehicle? Good number of engineer vehicles had turrets with functional guns.

Not your fault - you could not know the intricacies involved.

How do you "externally target" anything with R-73 mounted on the fixed launcher? What is a problem of such launcher - A-A missile is intended to be launched with certain forward speed (from a moving aircraft). As such, if launched from a fixed platform certain complications arise: - it can not be aimed at a target precisely, so that seeker head locks target properly. Now, R-73 has quite a bit of off-bore acquisition angle, but that will make missile maneuver harder which leads to a next problem: - zero initial speed, meaning that control surfaces are next to useless until missile picks up a speed, meaning that if target was acquired with large off-bore angle there is a good chance of loosing target. - Acquisition is further complicated by the fact that RPV is hardly a most stable platform. Any sort of waves will mean that seeker head has minimal chances to lock. Now, if some plane/helo was in ideal position it might work, but overall chances are pretty low.

As silly as those look, none has destroyed a vehicle (which removal of tank's turret is considered to be) in order to create those.

Most of Serbia does not give a fuck. I would say that % of true fans is probably about the same as % of people who hate him - about single digit % in both cases. One "cheering fans gathering" where members of the ruling party had to be bused from the majority of Serbia in order to get ~10k people does not make "love". Una Hajdari probably knows most of that, but for some reason she choose such bombastic title. Wonder why.

If people are anything like pork as it is often alleged they would have to be cooked more, hence could not be done in rare or medium-rare. So those that order steaks medium + are more suspect. Unfair to Spain, Italy is overrated as usual. Must have been made by Italian

Again, those that have not served will never be able to comprehend any military bureaucracy, with it's item numbers and specific order forms for toilet paper and paper napkins.

Waaaaay too clean. Where are overflowing ashtrays, empty bottles of sodas, unwashed coffee mugs and stacks upon stacks of diskettes?

As it is installed, with fixed elevation and no real way to aim it at specific target it is next to useless. Additional problem is that platform is probably very unstable, which could prevent lockup.
