As far as I’m aware the west hasn’t confirmed or commented which raises eyebrows tbh.

Costs f**k all to give someone a genuine compliment and usually makes a hell of a difference to that person. The world needs more of that.

NI elections, does USA accept political refugees?
Born Hunter replied to Lenmcharristar's topic in General Talk
Membership of the EU means that the member state accepts that EU law has supremacy over their own national laws. So in that sense no, sovereignty has been lost. However, the EU don’t have supremacy over every aspect of government rule. So in that sense sovereignty is split between the supranational EU government and the national member state governments. However, lol, membership in the European Union is a choice, a choice which a member state has total sovereignty over (interestingly not the case with the federation of states which make up the USA). So in that sense I suppose member -

Wasn’t the turning point basically the last general election when nationalists won more seats than unionists? That was surely an earthquake for Irish politics. -
Apparently the Russian frigate the Makarov has been hit…

I don’t think I’ve ever voted in a council election. I honestly couldn’t give a f**k for that level and the last thing democracy needs is uneducated votes.

Until he gets us to Mars he shouldn’t be allowed to buy anything!

I had ‘archangel’ providing over watch the whole time. He was running a 11.9ftlb .22. I don’t take chances!

show us your hunting knives and multitools

He lived local to me and I went to see him in person. He was a sound fella and skilled. -
I once sold a .177 in an Aldi car park and had a mate for muscle if it went sideways. So yes, I’d say so.

Not even the cadets.

It bothers me that he seems to credit Churchill with big stick diplomacy.

Our machine overlords will send us back down pit. Your mob will be living the dream again!

So you might say the free market righted itself

They’ll have had MBDA and DSTL sat down considering how to mitigate that risk. It’s also a huge opportunity for a field trial… I can see them being fitted to some sort of vehicle to evade the Russians, teamed up with their drones to locate and recon the enemy. Program the missiles with that enemy location and force data, fire them off and let them hunt. On a shore battery, it’ll deny Russia the use of any small landing crafts for an amphibious landing and make using large landing ships a bit lively to say the least!

I love that the MoDs comms satellite network is called Skynet and it even predates the film franchise.

Not really sure what it is. I think there’s a risk that if we don’t merge with ai then we’ll be replaced by it. But I’d rather we stayed in touch with nature rather than completely leave it. So no I don’t think I’d be in favour of transhumanism really.

This is a promo type thing for brimstone. It was never integrated with apache but demonstrates some of the products functionality. The missiles aren’t networked but when fired in salvos of up to 12 I think, their on board algorithms reduce the likelihood of missiles striking the same target. Stuff like that and meteor is superior to what the yanks have. Spear 3 is an evolution of brimstone and will I believe be truly networked for swarming salvos. What we’re talking about similar sorts of intelligence but in drones.

Have a nose around the web about brimstone and spear 3. Or meteor. All British MBDA products.

It’s quite possibly Pandora’s box. So yeah but I can’t see as its possible to regulate it tbh. The competitive advantages of it are going to be so huge that in a competitive world someone will break the agreement to get the advantage. Basically if you’re not working on it and using it you’ll be beaten by the guys that are.

They’re just experimenting with drones working together autonomously. Yeah the drones are making their own decisions, albeit in line with their programming. At the moment drones in combat have to be told to go here and there and what not. What they’re experimenting with is removing the man who tells them that and programming them in such a way that they understand some basic level of mission strategy. If drone X gets killed and it’s role was really important then rather than a man having to decide to redirect another to that role the drones do it themselves. That sort of stuff.

I reckon the submarine domain is where it’ll get really interesting. Modern submarines are the most expensive and technologically complex assets in the battlespace. They kill defence budgets so most nations can never afford enough, if any. Couple that with the fact that they are incredibly useful strike weapons given the amount of open ocean, and the physical problems with submarine communication, cheaper unmanned submarines working as wingmen to high end manned subs would potentially be huge enablers. From my view, when you consider signals outside of the acoustic spectrum, like EM, wake
