Trains (electric) or pipelines generally won’t, but pipelines aren’t everywhere you need them and trains can’t be used for anything else in this case. Effect is the same: local shortages

so the way i understand it, at first refinery strikes had little impact because other refineries still had slack capacity. but even before that slack capacity was gone, it had a further effect that now fuel was not prepared in places it used to be, so it had to be hauled longer distances. meaning logistics is strained and some fuel is used to haul it, and also now fuel production is more concentrated

at some point that slack capacity was gone and fuel went from not where you need it to not existing at all. there already were shortages in some regions. that and still large demand for fuel for farming caused decrease in exports. there was a refinery that only produces products for export, and its output wouldn’t be directly usable as fuel (they only distilled crude into fractions, still high in sulfur etc) but it was also hit so exports from it don’t matter because these are none

at any rate these developments are on borrowed time because it only takes maybe half year to repair more advanced parts of refinery, so under certain droning intensity they can just roll on. everyone involved knows that, and looks like situation will get worse for russians

oh no, how come my own actions have consequences

aluminum bars, they won’t be able to work it into things like with iron. even if they do, they can’t make more

note to self: hot metal and cold metal look the same

hotdog is s sandwich, poptart is a sanwich, ravioli is a sandwich, this really does not narrow down anything

…and that means retirees will literally starve and live on the streets? I don’t think it will. It will just be less luxurious.

you might think that japanese boomers have generational wealth in form of real estate. this is not really the case, especially for rural population. houses aren’t built to last, lose value like motherfucker and are commonly demolished after 20-30 years, in part because people don’t like second hand, in part because there’s no point of building anything sturdier if typhoon or earthquake takes it. there is some newer construction that is intended to last longer, but it’s not a very common thing. so a reverse mortgage type thing won’t exist there, and yeah lots of people will get shafted by these conditions

that’s no news, that’s China’s final warning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China’s_final_warning

for gun people they surely don’t get trigger discipline

thoughts and prayers if you’re lucky, best that they can do now is vagueposting

either they used that or whatever was shot down looked completely different

modern radar can measure speed, size, altitude of target and count turbine blades, allowing to figure out what it is. well, rotational speed of propeller in this case but logic is the same

whatever was shot down was shot by fighter jets, not gbad

the explanation that was given at the time was that drones that were assessed as armed were shot down near border (like the one that blew off roof - it was strictly speaking debris after shootdown) but decoys were allowed to crash on their own

yeah i understand that the proper thing to do would be burning Alabuga to the ground, but we’re kinda not in position to do that

from what i understand, there are now tests of anti-drone systems for purpose of procurement for polish army, and today i heard there’s some kind of training of polish air defense troops by ukrainians to be set up. other than that? they reacted according to doctrine, using what they had, mobilizing allied assets available in the area, could have been worse

they did, try to keep up. russia fucked off from turkey because su-24 also tends to have pilot who died, and this time it’s drones only

lol nope they can’t do that because “guardrails” aren’t anywhere near reliable, and they won’t because it would cut into their profits userbase numbers, based on which they raise vc money. delusional chatbot user is just a recurrent subscriber

i’m gonna infect you with covid stay away

very easily, previously these guys weren’t a target. asm launchers were, but these can get hidden in a cave rather quickly
