those of us that follow such things. We're nerds.
Well, some alleged grownups are exactly that. Especially ones that believe our western propaganda without critical thinking skills.
Iran's Hypersonic Missile allegedly used in last night's attack on Israel.
The Kheibar Shekan hypersonic missile is the weapon which was used to strike Israel's premier Ramon airbase in the Negev just a few hours ago. Until now, Iranian claims of its capabilities have been impossible to verify, however we can now say the Islamic Republic has clearly joined the very small list of nations with such advanced weapons.
Kheibar Shekan is a 3rd generation medium-range ballistic missile of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. the weapon's name means 'Fortress Breaker', 'Kheibar' being the Jewish fortress that was conquered by the Muslims in the beginning of Islam, during the battle of Khaybar.
The Kheibar shekan is the world's longest-range solid-fuel tactical ballistic missile, able to deliver a 500kg warhead to targets 1450km away. It can operate from a variety of Iranian launch platforms, and has interchangeable warheads.
In the terminal phase, the HGV (Hypersonic Glide Vehicle) warhead separates from the main missile body and is able to accelerate and manuever in order to bypass ABM systems. Once separated, the warhead accelerates to mach 7-10. It uses both a thrust vectoring motor as well as actuating fins to maneuver. The distinctive triconic shape of the warhead provides stability whilst maneuvering at hypersonic speeds in the lower atmosphere.

Whenever I click the link to the actual blog post, it asks me to log in to a YunoHost account. Another dead link? If so perhaps remove this post?
How many people attended this 'FediForum'? I ask because I'd like to see how representative it is of the community. The last thing the Fediverse needs is another cliché of nerds directing the strategy of a decentralized protocol.
I was on there, but it seems to me to basically full of the neoliberal crowd that left X when Musk took over. Too much snark IMO.
Seems like there are too many NAFO pukes on this platform.
Why is that? Do you blanket an entire source with that accusation? It's no worse than say Youtube, the NYT, Washington Post. They all post shite that has to be retracted or based on anon sources.
Why is that? Many don't have it or the credibility to determine what's accurate or not.

US junk. Sensitive electronics don't work in Ukrainian weather according to many Ukrainian soldiers.
Totally agree, opinion shouldn't enter into such decisions. It's emotional immaturity to do so.
Personally I think it's about honing the lines and evaluating the players by the coach brain trust. I don't think they care who they play because whomever they get, is going to be a tough opponent.

Indeed. I don't use the Internet at all without a VPN connected. These days you can't possibly be blocking people for that reason. There are other ways to find child porn or whatever. Like calling the authorities.
We've got to contact our elected representatives and tell them we don't want them to support 'The Lobby' and/or Israel! They often get financing for election runs from that organization, so are beholden to them, not their electorate in most cases.
