Damn right, they kicked the floor with him.
Fine, it’s a patient and considerate missile then.
Just $150 million for this, but also:
In addition, DoD is announcing a significant package of air defense interceptors using approximately $2.2 billion in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) funds. This funding will be used to purchase interceptors for PATRIOT and NASAMS air defense systems for Ukraine
Look at that armor belt. The tasteful thickness of it.
Big head-to-body ratio = juvenile features = cute.
Thank you for the kind presumption, but I actually fucked it up and scrambled up my geography, @bokster@lemmy.sdf.org was right to correct me. I looked at a map before I wrote that, too, and I still read it wrong. I’m not even sure what i thought was between them…
Fun fact I read once: The most common last name in Hungary is not Magyar but actually Horvath. Which in Hungarian means “Croat”.
And Croatia is not even a directly neighboring country anymore. So it’d be like the most common name in America being Johnny Guatemala.
Agonal breathing is when someone who is not getting enough oxygen is gasping for air. It is usually due to cardiac arrest or stroke. It’s not true breathing. It’s a natural reflex that happens when your brain is not getting the oxygen it needs to survive. Agonal breathing is a sign that a person is near death.

Looks a bit like the Arachne browser for DOS.
I bet they develop something close to a .22 recoilless rifle for drone use. I.e. a rifle that shoots both ways at once so it doesn’t have any recoil. And I bet it’s effective beyond anyone’s wildest nightmares.
TIL, thank you.
No, not really. This has been happening for almost a decade, it’s not something that just started.
That video never really answers the question…
