India is between a rock and a hard place.

Much of their weapons/parts come from Russia as well as partnerships with other projects.  They have China on one side, and Pak on the other so their security needs are high.

They of course work with the West, but also try to maintain some level of strategic independence...so basically they are on the sidelines unless it directly impacts them.

Once you get used to the Chinese traveling in huge groups, you learn to work around/avoid. When some Russians show up, you have to just pack up and leave. With Germans, their utter lack of respect for personal space drives me insane. 
 

If you find Australians, stay close and they’ll take you to the party.

Totally agree about the English. Just the wooooorst.

This is very accurate.  Pity the Spanish, who have to tolerate months and months of drunken working-class English tourists.

But when you get to places where the English working class can't travel, they'll all tell you it's the Russians.  People who work in the hospitality industry might occasionally name the Chinese.  But Russians will overwhelmingly win the vote.

All this is true but Chinese will overwhelm you with sheer numbers, though.

Nonaligned when it comes to anyone but Pakistan, of course. 

If you ever want to be entertained, try happy hour between a Pakistani and Desi discussing their rift.

That discourse gets off the rails faster than a sheep in College Station. 

A close second is two boricuas, with opposing views, discussing the island’s statehood or not.

This slams the Russians and their government and oligarchs but it does nothing to save the people of Ukraine who need shit right now to happen or it’s DKR e. 


Yeah, sure that’s right. But this just from the “Fuck Those Russian Oligarchs” Dept of the EU, the “Help Those Ukrainians” Dept. is just across the hall and doing work. They just need to take their time. 
 

reminds of a joke: 

An old bull and a young bull were together in the pasture and saw a group of cows down the way. The young bull says “hey, you think we should run down there and fuck a cow?

The old bull says “No. I think we should walk down there and fuck all of them”

Statement from Roman Abramovich
17 Min Ago

I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC. As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the Club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the Club, the fans, the employees, as well as the Club’s sponsors and partners.

The sale of the Club will not be fast-tracked but will follow due process. I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid. This has never been about business nor money for me, but about pure passion for the game and Club. Moreover, I have instructed my team to set up a charitable foundation where all net proceeds from the sale will be donated. The foundation will be for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine. This includes providing critical funds towards the urgent and immediate needs of victims, as well as supporting the long-term work of recovery.

Please know that this has been an incredibly difficult decision to make, and it pains me to part with the Club in this manner. However, I do believe this is in the best interest of the Club.

I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person. It has been a privilege of a lifetime to be part of Chelsea FC and I am proud of all our joint achievements. Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart.

Thank you,

Roman

I used to work in this space as well and the reality at that time was that having to change comms crypto keys once a day was too much burden for some of the tactical units especially with older devices that could not switch over automatically (No seriously, I need you to switch the key at 1200Z not come in a 1115Z and have everything down for 45 min before the rest of the network updates so you can go to lunch early.)

Getting the patches pushed to the units involved sending CR-ROM or for hard to manage cases physical drives through the secure mail or courier network. Then get on the phone and call each unit to make sure they were using the right version or wait till they called you (best case) where you could ask if they were on the right patch.  More typically they might stay on the old versions because they were too lazy to do the update or switching drives meant losing their settings and worst case was just shutting it off until someone asked what happened to the XYZ system, We need to know what is happening here.

Yea, that’s what I was curious about with the power sector. Most cyber issues are user driven (bad passwords, permissions, etc) so I was curious how hardened their stuff actually is. At least on the DoD side we have encryption as a major hardware hurdle for attackers to get over. On the colorless side you’re always one bad password away from giving up the Gibson.

There has been like 1 successful ICBM intercept ever and we basically cheated. At best we have a 5% chance and only 100 ABMs. 

I don’t speak Ukrainian/Russian but I assume it says something about Russia fucking itself. Can someone actually translate? 

It is in fact not made up. He posted pics on twitter. 

Do you think we're up front with our true ABM capabilities?  Wouldn't surprise me if we're holding actual capabilities close to the vest and underselling here.

I thought that's what one of the more intelligible messages addressed above, they have stand alone (air gapped) networks for some of the transmission stuff you must have physical access to in order to shut anything down.  Bigger vulnerability was a domino effect of one part going down taking out multiple pieces if they don't balance capacity and load.  The problem we had last year in Texas.

Before we get too high and mighty let's imagine what it would be like if our own working class traveled en masse.

You can't really hide these tests. Unless they are being conducted on some other planet, we essentially know the results of all testing done.

Well these tests are public and they are complete failures. So, yeah there isn’t really a way to hide the fact that your ABM sucks, because everyone in the world is watching your tests. It’s not like you can launch an ICBM all stealth like and keep the projectile within your borders undetected by any other countries satellites specifically designed to track ICBM.

Ukraine
4 MIN READ
Is Poland Sending Fighter Jets to Ukraine?
The short answer is “maybe.” But, well, it’s complicated

It all started with a shocking disclosure. Josep Borrell, the EU foreign policy chief, stated on Feb. 28, that the EU will finance the transfer of fighter jets to Ukraine.

Ukraine followed-up and issued a statement verifying Borrell’s comments.

This led to a number of media reports speculating which jets would be sent and from where. As a post-Soviet republic, Ukraine has experience with multirole MiG-29s, and out of the former Soviet satellite states of Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland seems the most likely country to supply jets to the Ukrainian air force.

Ukrainian pilots are currently in Poland, New Lines can confirm, following reporting by Yahoo! News. But they are there not for training purposes but for “consultations” with Warsaw on completing the relevant paperwork for a possible handover of aircraft, according to a former high-ranking Polish military official, who added that “no decision at the political level has been made” as to whether this transaction will occur.

That source also told New Lines that Poland has 28 MiG-29s it could deliver to Ukraine, and R-73s short-range air-to-air missiles, all of which would be of enormous use to Ukraine in its war against Russia. Some Polish aviation experts think that, in reality, only 23 of them are operational.

“The problem is Poland needs MiG-29s, too, because our Air Force works in pairs. Two jets always fly together to intercept or escort any foreign aircraft, such as Russian Su-27s [fighters], that come anywhere near Polish airspace.”

“The Ukrainians got ahead of themselves,” the former official noted, by announcing the transfer of foreign MiG-29s as more or less done and dusted.

Ukraine’s Air Force Command posted to Facebook on March 1 that it was receiving 70 MiG-20s and Su-25s from Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria, adding that 28 MiG-29s would not only come from Poland but “if necessary … be able to base themselves at Polish airports, from which Ukrainian pilots will perform combat tasks.”

As a result, New Lines understands, Kyiv prompted a political controversy in Warsaw, which may now slow down or even halt the delivery of any aircraft much needed for Ukraine’s defenses. On March 1, Polish President Andrzej Duda said there were no immediate plans for Polish planes to be in the air, and officials from Bulgaria and Slovakia said that no military support was forthcoming, according to Politico.

So far, Western military support has largely been confined to the supply of light arms, ammunition, anti-tank missiles and man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS). The most significant foreign tool in Ukraine’s arsenal is the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB-2 drone, of which Ukraine was believed to have 12 in working order. Today Ukraine’s defense minister Oleksii Reznikov announced the further receipt of an unknown quantity of TB-2s from Ankara.

Resupplying Ukraine’s air force with MiG-29s, which Ukrainian pilots are already trained to fly, could be “a game-changer,” in the words one of U.S. military official because these would allow Kyiv to further interdict incoming Russian bombers and jets as well as take out Russian columns and anti-aircraft batteries on the ground.

After its attempt to sack Kyiv and other cities using mainly paratroopers and special forces, Russia has altered its tactics with merciless bombardment of civilian-populated areas. Buildings in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second most populous city, now stand ablaze, burnt out or totally destroyed. A Russian missile attack on the TV tower in Kyiv on March 1 left five Ukrainians dead, according to The Washington Post, and at least five more injured. It also damaged the Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial which lies just yards away. Today, Kherson, a port city on the Black Sea, is under heavy attack with both sides claiming to have it under control.

“We could easily avoid ground-to-air defense systems that the Russians might put in place while also taking out tanks of Russian soldiers,” a Polish pilot told New Lines. “If we can do it with MiG-29s, so can the Ukrainians.”

The Polish MiG-29 have been modernized over the years and have been equipped with NATO communications and reconnaissance systems. These jets would have to be stripped of this equipment and reflagged before being transferred to the Ukrainian air force.

Another issue involves the logistics of getting the planes to Ukraine. As a NATO member state, Poland would not allow Ukrainian pilots to simply fly them from its runways into Ukrainian airspace because doing so would risk provoking Russia and making Poland (and NATO) direct parties to the conflict. It is unclear, the former Polish military officer told New Lines, how the planes would be imported into Ukraine. There is almost no chance that Ukrainians would be able to base these jets on Polish territory.

Initial reports suggested that the U.S. would backfill Poland’s inventory of MiG-29s with the U.S.-made F-16, of which Poland currently has 48 in its inventory. However, Polish pilots tend to prefer the more familiar Soviet-era MiG, which they view as a “better” fighter jet, according to one of them.

Furthermore, Polish technicians have greater experience fixing the Soviet-era planes than they do their American counterparts.

As Ukraine awaits a political decision, Poland has opened a logistical hub to dispatch weapons to Ukraine.
