"Iran has mandatory military service for all male citizens upon reaching the age of 18. The service lasts between 18 and 24 months, with conscripts serving in the army, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), or the police."

An afro-persian draftee from Hormozgan. That's up there with being a black draftee during Vietnam.

"Russia is transitioning to a year-round, modernized military conscription system for 2026, targeting men aged 18"30 for one year of service. As of late 2025, the age range was expanded from 27 to 30, and electronic, 30-day expiring, summonses are used to fill quotas, often exceeding 130,000 per, or now, throughout the year."

bet they wish they were cleaning parks instead of being slaughtered in a trench by a quadrotor.

Awww, somebody is sad for Russia.

Given the division of the US citizens a mandatory draft wouldn't be a bad thing.
Getting people out of their bubble and actually doing some physical labor might fix the US citizen.
Anyone disagreeing is a lazy PoS.

Genius. We don't need them at all for war, and draftees kind of suck.

However, we could use them to clean up parks, do solar installs. We could call them the Climate Corp.

The completely autonomous AI suicide drone swarm they unleashed on a Russian tank column is really intimidating. When the war started it was 1 man, 1 fpv drone. Now 1 guy opens a box and 40 drones fly out on their own. Even models coming that are basically a self-contained LAN of fiber cabling with bomb quadroters on the end of every cable. Can't jam those, can't easily spot the source.

Call it 1800 speedboats destroyed over 35 days of bombings, so 51 speedboats a day destroyed on average?

That's a crazy number.

Snoofy pays the White price everywhere he goes.

A speedboats have the same level of effectiveness as Somali pirates. They do very poorly when people shoot back at them.

Roughly 60% of the naval arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is still in existence, the officials said, including fast-attack speed boats.

It's all speedboats left. Every Surface Warfare Vessel is destroyed. They only had 126.

They started with 5000 speedboats. If 40% of their navy is destroyed, we've been blowing up speedboats by the thousand.

One thing you don't see in Khabibi's gym, women.

I've got the worlds tiniest violin for Chapelle, but the irony is funny.

Everything bigger than a speedboat is indeed destroyed.

Less than a dozen IRCG lads in a speedboat with AKs not following the general order.

Despite how they were received, he meant them as jokes and not as an attack of transgender people.

That's what they always were.

but remind me, how were they received here?

"under the radar"

23 mpg average, Houston to San Antonio and back. Might have done a little better in eco mode but probably not much.

I filled a rented 2025 F-150 XLR last weekend. 3/4 tank for $88, at a Bucees which tends to be on the lower end of the price spectrum. However, that was 670 miles of range on a full tank.

0 for 2.

Tesla is level 2 autonomy, the driver is supposed to intervene when it's headed for the tracks.

The human ATC was intervening the entire time, the humans in the truck did not respond to radio calls.

Anyways, here's a basic introduction from NASA on the subject of AI/ML research for Air Traffic Management.

Pretty sure that's just a statue of a doctor.

Lets swap anti-christ with people who get called Hitler. Even after they're long dead before Hitler was born, called that retroactively.

Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Truman, Nixon, GWB, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Joe Biden.

Think we'll need AI to detect a pattern here?

Claimed anti-christs:

Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, JFK, Bill Clinton, GWB, Biden, Hillary.

Is this some new thing? Well...

Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison..

ATC already use AI to assist air traffic controllers. Ground management, conflict resolution automation, traffic flow & routing, etc.

Not ironic enough. He's saying it's open and closed at the same time. Iran can't close it, we closed it!

Four cruise ships that were trapped there formed into convoy and made a run for it successfully.

An Iranian ship named Touska has allegedly tried to run the US blockade and was disabled and captured by an American destroyer. That needs more confirmation, right now it's just social chatter.

Probably because

That was a joke. It was in Time magazine.

Largest total losses per airframe from this are Predators. The -B big ones. They were used in a way you're supposed to use drones, expendably, to draw out remaining air defenses, at a cost of a mere $35 million each. ...

No sign of Predator C in the conflict.

Not last time, the only time ones been shot down.
