>Ivan, hohols spot our drones with their IR cameras!>Njet problem, Sasha. We just put IR searchlights on our drones to blind their IR cameras, хopoшo.>You're so smart, Igor!
alright
"can"
Why do people repost their twitter feed to 4chan?
>>64706153>fly past the blinding light>turn around >see everything clearlynow what?
>>64706413Typically, fast interceptor drones only have one chance before their batteries run out.
>>64706171The war accelerated the trend of /k/ becoming the last stop for reddit gun users to its final completion.
>>64706413>>fly past the blinding lightThis light is rear facing.
>>64706429add another battery or git gud>>64706495i was under the assumption that most interceptions are from behind, if you aren't behind it to begin with the light is a non issue.
>>64706153>Add more cost and complexity to a system originally designed to be cheap and cost effectiveTale as old as age.
>>64706453the unimaginable stupidity of this board is truly unique on the internet for its extent
>>64706564lmao, its literally a single screw into some fiberglassits not a scamduril product
>>64706611And the six lightbulbs.And the housingAnd the clips to mount itAnd the battery/wires to run it.And the labor to install it.And the supply chain to support it.Not to mention the government kickbacks, which are of course top priority.
Damn Ukrainian Gremlins homing in on the IR lights!
>>64706622To be fair it's still pretty cheap. The good news is that it probably very inefective too.
>>64706622>And the six lightbulbs..10c from China>And the housing.05c from china>And the clips to mount it.01c from china>And the battery/wires to run it..10c from china>And the labor to install it.15 seconds with the screw driver>And the supply chain to support it.china delivery #843085305804505>Not to mention the government kickbacks, which are of course top priority.Russias MIC isnt "For profit" so "N/A"a whole additional .26 cents and 15 additional seconds per shahedWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPEDY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOthat would (however) be a devastating, industry rippling addition to any US drone, i conceede.it would cost literally $thousands of dollars per/unit to install, and would need bespoke factory service and right-to-repair™ provisions revoked for the duration of productionand multiply those government kickbacks by a factor of 100 (top priority)
>>64706153Russians are quite gentlemanly, are they not?At first they donated military vehicles and other equipment to Ukraine.When that started running out, they they spent years airdropping tons of much needed explosives in their patented UXO packages.And now they add convenient "aim here" emitters on their previously hard-to-track drones.
>>64706153...why not just aim at the bright ass IR light then? If it gets dimmer you're missing.
>>64706728>>64706732who says every shahed in the package has one?maybe one or two act like "bait" for the interceptor..and being seen is exactly the point
>>64706153who are you quoting?
>>64706761Yelabuga factory workers, duh.
>>64706761>he thinks greentexting is for quotingholy fuck you discorders who got your 4chan education from powerpoint slide bullet points are as pathetic as you are radioactive
>>64706755oh, they're wasting time and effort to make only SOME of their drones easier to interceptthat changes everything, what a genius move.
>>64706622People generally don't understand the realities of producing anything at all in the real world.
>>64706776>People generally don't understand the realities of anything at allFTFY
>>64706669>Russias MIC isnt "For profit"Woodman's mansions won't fund themselves.
>>64706776>>64706779look at the fucking pictureits a ducked taped on chinese IR flashlight slopits probably cheaper for China to just give it to Russia so they can detonate it in their 9th consecutive daily warcrime in ukraine, than it is to deal with the e-waste garbage in Shenzen
>>64706812Even duct taping COTS shit takes time. And time literally is a big factor in manufacturing. That's not even taking into account that you need to tape it correctly. Or you need to place a power line to it and so on and so forth. You need to train retards to do this. You need to check that during QC. Seriously, most people have a very naive understanding on how manufacturing works. Even the most basic bitch "two blokes in a shed" manufacturing is a disaster of steps, procedures and costs.
>>64706594I didn't comment on its extent nigger-kun I commented on the people here.
>>64706669>>64706812Logistics are everything in a war, smoothbrain.If we take X number of man hours per year, and then divide that by the numbers of hours it takes to outfit a Shahed for a combat mission, then increasing that number of hours results in, you guessed it, a smaller amount of Shaheds outfitted for combat missions per year.>Inb4>"oh but just increase the number of man hours"So you either take men away from the frontlines, you increase recruitment from the civilian populace or you make your already overworked soldiers work even more.
>>64706857>the North Korean in yalabuga working the accessory station will add steps 12a-g from laminate #9 when affixing IR-reflector assembly to designated Gerans™ tail kit>refer to picture on laminate #9>use parts from "literal trash from China™" bin#9 supplied with laminate #9 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW SUCH OVERHEADits literally cheaper for China to dump the parts on Russia than it would be for them to recycle it at home.>>64706974>So you either take men away from the frontlines, you increase recruitment from the civilian populace or you make your already overworked soldiers work even more.Russia doesnt have manpower problems, this is what North Koreans and annual conscripts are for (and later...'limitless' tamil men)This costs nothing^
>>64706728>pic*werebefore 2022, the entirety of Ukraine's air force was gibs from russia. ukraine cannot produce fighter jets or attack helicopters.

>>64707214>ukraine / nato / anduril spend 12 months developing a bespoke solution to gerans>ivan nullifies the solution with a $3 IR flashlight from aliexpresslisten here you little shit,I have 20 years of experience in logistics, acquisitions and human resources and that little making any incremental, experimental or iterative changes to an airframe takes literally decades to design and properly test for all conditions, using quality materials naturally sourced from free-range, farm grown electronics (not that chink shit) SOMETHING YOU WOULDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUTand it takes an industrial scale workforce of thousands, getting paid millions to affix even the smallest accessory to air-asset. its not something you just whip up in your garage and ram a bolt through fiberglass, duct tape it and slap it on its ass out the door (unless your brown brown from Turdnation in the global south) (you are)this is why you lose every war Ivan, and this is why the US is undefeated champions of WW2 and the brown-wars of continuation.and if youre not brown, youre yellow, and youre frantically tracing over the .jpgs on your computer screen to furiously copy later tonight (all the rest applies)
