An ounce of high explosive won't take down a plane. Even at cruising altitude.

Apparently, the solution to this is retrorockets -

Once clear of the plane a single large main chute opens. The deployment of the main chute triggers the deployment of four long rods which hang beneath the pallet. As soon as the rods touch the ground fires, slowing the BMD to a descending speed between 6 m/s and 7 m/s and giving it a relatively soft landing. This system entered service in 1975 and allows a BMD to be relatively safely parachuted with both the driver and the gunner.

Fuck off right off with that briefcase shit, the only non-cringe nuke is the Davy Crockett. Russia's got fuck all to say to the atomic recoilless rifle of freedom.

Say what you will about the guy, he's got more experience shooting down civilian jets than almost anyone.

he was on a plane that crashed in Russia today, possibly because it collided with a a2a missile.

Air defense was also active around Moscow, where it allegedly shot down a plane full of mercenaries.

Hahaha.

Also, per the BBC's reporting:

Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

Surprisingly not surprising.

So, you want Ukraine to capitulate and to reward Russia’s imperialist warmongering.

That’s not a generational thing, that’s a “uncritically accepting Russian propaganda” thing.

Ok, but that caption is completely wrong about what, "the dictatorship of the proletariat," means.

I like that they had to bring Ukraine into it for no apparent reason.

I love the X-32, and it’s a shame that MD took over post merger then fucked up Boeing as bad as they did.

Also, yes I’m just stealing from other communities.

Rods from god, but somehow less credible (mastodon.social)
 

Reproduced here for easier amusement:

1/ Russia's space agency Roskosmos is reportedly evaluating options for using space rockets to drop aerial bombs on Ukraine from orbit. The proposal is likely to face serious technical difficulties, not least the risk of bombs burning up from the heat of atmospheric reentry.

2/ The Russian BRIEF Telegram channel reports that former Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin has been discussing the proposal with Dmitry Baranov, director general of the Progress Rocket Space Centre, before taking it to Vladimir Putin last week.

Rogozin reportedly envisages using Russia's Vostochny and Plesetsk cosmodromes to launch bomb-carrying rockets into space to drop "heavy FABs" (presumably the FAB-500 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) general purpose air-dropped bomb) on "NATO equipment" in Ukraine.

3/ Baranov, understandably, has questions. According to BRIEF, he objected that the bombs would overheat on the way down. "It's travelling at over 6 kilometres per second. That's practically space speed. It's like the Soyuz TMA [spacecraft] coming back. It's the same shit."

4/ According to Baranov, rockets launched from Vostochny can carry 7.5 tons, while launches from Plesetsk can carry 10 tons, minus a ton in each case for "insurance". He is said to envisage a 6-9 month timeframe for adapting the rockets into bombers, though he seems to be uncertain about how this can be done. Rogozin reportedly envisages adapting "the toys of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering" to shield the FABs from reentry heat.

5/ BRIEF reports that Rogozin planned to send a paper to Anton Vaino, Putin's chief of staff, who is said to be interested and intending to "report to the chief on this matter". It's not known what Putin himself thinks of the idea

An upswing in actual, literal shitposting (sh.itjust.works)
 

Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.

What the fuck and can we do something about it?
