Well they’ve been flying Su-24s, and the F-16s certainly shouldn’t be any less capable than those for this sort of thing
Can Ukraine use stormshadows within Russia?
The UK okayed it a couple of weeks ago, France this week

Nice gesture but why would Ukraine risk losing their new toys on adventurism where is work closer to to home to be done.
Where the frontline is close to the official border, Russia is able to keep its artillery and logistics on the Russian side of the border where Ukraine is not allowed to use half of its equipment. Russia’s ongoing Kharkiv offensive is an example of this
Now if they were supplying rockets with ranges over 200km
France and Britain have been supplying the storm shadow missile, which has almost three times that range. Ukraine has been launching it from its own Su-24 aircraft, but those are very old and there aren’t a lot of them left. The F-16 could be a good new platform to launch them from. As I understand it, storm shadow and F-16 are not compatible out of the box and would need some modification, but the same was true for the Su-24 and that appears to have worked out
Well considering both the EU and NATO have articles of mutual defence, they’ve already agreed to it twice (or once, for Norway and Iceland). I’m not sure sinking a ships qualifies as an escalatory response to bombing bases and sinking ships though. At that point the escalation has already happened.
Well since neither of them included any sort of language to the effect of “Russia gets to invade if the terms of this agreement aren’t upheld”, I’m gonna go with more than two. Especially considering DPR forces kept pushing for Debaltseve after both agreements.
Several NATO members have already okayed this for Ukraine and remain distinctly un-nuked. Plus, of course, the Ukrainians have been doing it with their domestically-produced gear for ages and also haven’t been nuked.
China isn’t that big for domestic cobalt extraction, it’s Chinese companies working in other countries. The biggest reserves are in Congo-Kinshasa and Australia, but Australia doesn’t extract much
The feature itself is fine, the fact that it’s literally in between you and turning regular shuffle on and off is incredibly irritating
“During WW1” is the context for this
The article says that the Ministry has suggested students use other programs, so it sounds like it’s just something students often use rather than something that’s actually required. I’ve not been in school for a long time, but I am doing a distance learning course and when I had to submit some written stuff I definitely found it more comfortable to type it up in an actual word processor than the web platform that only showed about a paragraph at a time, so I did that and then copied it to the web platform.
I’m glad that for all our differences we can all at least share some common ground in laughing at the Libertarian party
Huh, not sure what’s going on there. It looks fine on my instance obviously, but it seems fine on yours and the post’s in the browser at least. Then again kbin seems to be particularly janky with links in particular. Thanks for making a version everyone can see
Use the other hand to count twelves! Each time you fill up one hand, add one to the other. That way you can get all the way to 156, which is probably more than you’d ever want to count one by one anyway
I find it useful if I’m counting only specific instances of something that meet some criteria. That way my brain can focus on picking out the right things and not have to worry about keeping the current count in mind. I use the method with your thumb on each segment of your fingers though, so you can get up to twelve with one hand and 156 with both
They’re only struggling because the West is arming Ukraine. The Ukrainians fought hard from day one, but they’d have been overrun and at best operating a guerilla campaign without being given heaps of equipment. Look what has happened while America stopped sending stuff over, and’s while Europe was still sending stuff. Europe’s arms industry is substantial, pretty much on par with the US in terms of value exported, but it’s lacking things like the ability to supply an artillery war like the one going on in Ukraine. Since the US doesn’t seem to be very reliable, Europe is gonna have to cover that base itself if it wants to be able to deter actions like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Actual explanation: these squid are transparent normally, but can turn on a dark pigmentation when that is a more effective camouflage. Being transparent works quite well most of the time, but if the predator has its own light source (as several deep-sea predators do) then their transparent state becomes a problem, because it’s relatively reflective compared to the water around them. In this situation, turning on the dark pigment helps them blend in with the dark water better.
They’re American
Some instances blocked ImgBB because it was being used to spread child porn a while back
Well you see, the UN’s logo is actually a top-down view of Earth. Apparently. Because they can’t keep a conspiracy secret without leaving some clues in the open for kicks.
Oh, that I’m not sure of. I misunderstood what you were asking, sorry about that
While I don’t know about actual jets launching munitions over Russian airspace, Ukraine did successfully hit a Shahed drone factory over 1,000 km from the Russia-Ukraine border with what appears to have been one of these light aircraft converted to be unmanned. So Russia’s air defence is definitely not impenetrable.
