Yeah, wish there was a way to remove that stuff.

Youtube - annd many news sites - are only watchable if you have an ad blocker installed.

I have:
-Privacy Badger
-uBlock Origin
-NoScript
-Disable HTML5 Autoplay

installed in my Firefox browser - its a simple thing to add, just tools->Add-Ons and type in the names of the above. The microsoft browser may have these available as well - but I dont use theirsas its the most targeted by exploiters....

Once installed, after a little bit of training to whitelist sites you do want to interact with you - no pop up adverts, usable youtube. The disable HTML5 Autoplay helps with news sites that want to fire up 99 different simultaneously running stupid videos on articles you havent read yet (or dont have the slightest interest in, like the CarCrashians say). Bliss.

I think the ad he was referring to was part of the video and done by the person that posted it.

Oh - an embedded advert by the presenter?.

Easily skipped over.

1) note that your presenter is in "advertising" mode
2) immediately pause your youtube video
3) now use the mouse to browse along the video's track line till the advert seems over by looking at the preview picture shown above the track line. Then, click on that part of the track line
4) and finally, press play and continue watching actual content

easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Romania taking a major step forward in this area by purchasing the Bayraktar TB2 the latest version in this "family". I would recommend a START of OCT 2024. That date will allow for the numbers to make this worthwhile and allow some time to prep the ones delivered sometime this SEP. From what I can find; it looks like they'll get both weapons as noted in the article.

https://baykartech.com/en/uav/bayraktar-tb2/
https://www.army-technology.com/proj...-tactical-uav/
https://www.bing.com/videos/rivervie...5784&FORM=VIRE


The video is pretty good gets into other current users and weapons.

This video was interesting for a different reason and is indictive and should act as a cautionary tale. For every counter there is a counter measure.

Forget lasers, electronic jammers etc. etc. the revival of the shotgun is in full force in our military again though it never truly went away in the first place.

Some European militaries are taking notice, and some are already equipping units.

It's cheap and a very effective way to deal with the drone situation.

The question you need to ask yourself is why we haven't in the last few months heard more about tanks being blown up like we did up until about the first of the year?

Just maybe those countermeasures are working.

The primary drone use as is being recorded at this time in the KURSK area is in the more traditional observation and targeting role.

Fallout Re: The UAV Club

Well in my last post it showed how easy it was to bring down drones with a simple shotgun and you don't exactly have to be on target just close enough for a couple of pellets to do the job. I suspect I might know the type shot they'd use to maximize both range and impact. We might or might not necessarily use the same shot that is not commercially available to the public.

Now you'll see some of what's already being in combat now but, what's soon to come or is just now getting fielded.

With this "zeal" by some to get these drones into the game, I hope this same "zeal" is applied to defensive systems such as the GEPHARD which has time and time again more than proved its abilities to bring these systems down and how old is the GEPHARD?
https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/webc...26c02d60&ei=54

Also, Israel has already tested "Iron Fist" against drones successfully take them out to 1.2km apparently with no misses with "360 degree" protection. More on that later.

OK, TROPHY has also been tested successfully to within the limitations of the system but unlike "Iron Fist" TROPHY is limited by the fact the launchers/actuators are set to a 55-degree angle however after that testing I'm sure you all have figured out that they are already looking to modify and improve that situation. But as above more on that later when I can post those refs.

Germany has one also, another APS system that's proven very successful against drones etc. as well.

It might also affect how many shots a unit gets based on watching the German video. How many of us have experienced multiple shots from anti-tank units in the same turn?

Regards,
Pat
