Are there peaceful Jihadists?

If I understand correctly, the answer is no, but technically yes. A HARM can not home in on a GPS signal, but like a lot of other munitions, it is capable of being guided by GPS and inertial systems, so technically it can be preprogrammed to a known GPS jamming site, which can be trivially triangulated. The thing is, if the location is known, a cheaper munition, even artillery or cruise missiles could be used to hit it.

As an illustration, the US launched 743 HARMs at Yugoslavia during the war, to destroy only 3 out of 25 SAM batteries - this is not so bad as it looks, a Kub battery is made up of 8 vehicles. Most launches were against suspected SAM sites. In return, the Serbians launched 800 SAMs and downed two planes, including that one famous stealth bomber shootdown.

That said, the US has started developing a new missile two years ago called the SiAW that can track GPS jamming stations by itself.

I don't know how accurate it is, but I seem to see the Right Wing Cinematic Universe being on Israel's side internationally.

Apparently food does grow on trees!

Was it? Look at Germany or the rest of the EU for example. It would make it much easier to argue for divestments and sanctions in parliaments if there was an active warrant against Bibi.

I think NATO knows that. The idea is that in a NATO matchup, a jammer that is constantly broadcasting would get something dropped on it by an F-35 pretty fast, using the jamming signal to guide it in.

Ukraine does not control the airspace, and a lot of NATO tactics assume and prioritize getting and having it.

Now I'm interested in how 170k USD worth of memery expertise looks like.

It's less of a court in the traditional sense, and more of an indicator and shaper of international sentiment.

TBH that pay seems... low for someone working on a presidential campaign. Aren't those people better paid?

The problem is that ad-driven businesses are price dumping by tricking people into using their services by telling them it's free, and thus killing the market for everyone else. I am not turning my adblocker off. I do not expect "free" content in perpetuity. I expect the "free" content business model to die off.

They knew.

It's not that the army doesn't also have a rape culture.

Maybe it's both.

I'm not talking about the population, but the government, the state, the idea of Russia.

Wedge issues can be important issues, it actually makes them better as divisive points.

ICC arrest warrants are not about actually detaining people, Bibi won't end up in the Hague either.

The point is isolation. If the US president would get convicted, they wouldn't be able to attend a G7 summit anymore for example.

Watch out, they might have preemptively blocked you for "McCarthyism"

Funny thing is, it was apparently a US helicopter, and part of the problem was that they weren't wble to service it because sanctions. If it really was an old Soviet machine like on the picture, they would have had less problems.

Russia would not survive that, and Putin knows that. Germany, France and the US maybe would, like Japan did, at least if we don't wipe out the whole biosphere, but Russia wouldn't.

I love that it equates Netanyahu and Gallant to Hamas.
