We get it … you like Russia.

The article above was specifically talking about lasers

I’ll give you that. One thing though. On a rainy or foggy night those defenses are worthless. Range goes in the crapper.

Because even with all the stupid amount of money the usa spend on r and d we have few few operational and tested platforms… If a drone hit one it goes boom just like anything else. If we can’t field 30of the things in our wildest imagination I can’t imagine they can achieve. More than 2 or 3 operational units and they will get whacked eventually

How to say I am a Russian bot in two lines.

No it’s more like Russias piss poor attempt at making their very own gps system while having none of the benefits of the USSR … 32 satellites launched so far. One lost … 4 or 5 in orbits so low as to be detrimental, not one so far has reached the target 800km goal . Second launches are dispersed in various geostationary orbits and completely varied. They needed a net to get geo location and they cats pebbles in the pond. There are ramifications to dumbing down the country.

I have a serious doubt that whatever Russia could cobble together would be an effective laser weapon for more than just demo.

So sometime in the future while setting up your Raspberry Pi to run Ubuntu desktop to run your media to the projector you can ditch the

sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Sudo apt install ffmpeg

That’s the last place I’ve seen it and it was a bad idea anyway as the Pi’s decoder sucked ass for certain media.
