This cops partner is as useless as tits on a bull...

 

Should have been two fights. First with the suspect and next with the partner that did NOTHING once the fight was on.

Patria has a new passive radar out. That's great but what happened to the USAF giving us air dominance?

The passive radar is invisible to the enemy

Patria MUSCL can provide 360-degree surveillance up to hundreds of kilometers away, making it well-suited for air surveillance and border control. Surveillance can also be focused on a specific target to protect critical infrastructure. 


– The main advantage of the passive radar system is that it does not produce any signal trace itself. Thus, Patria MUSCL is practically invisible to enemy signal intelligence, says Aaro Malila, Product Manager at Patria. 


The signals sent by traditional radars immediately reveal their operation and location to the enemy's electronic surveillance sensors. In the worst case, it can take only a few seconds to locate, after which the enemy can target the radar with electronic jamming or direct fire.


Advanced signal processing detects targets

Patria MUSCL utilizes existing radio signals in the environment for its measurements. Typically, these are broadcast signals from radio or television stations. By using these, the radar can calculate the location and movement of an airborne target by comparing the signals reflected from the target with those that have traveled directly. 


The system can simultaneously track over a hundred targets.

– Due to its operating principle and low frequencies, Patria MUSCL has better capabilities to detect stealth targets compared to traditional radar, Malila notes. 


The shapes and surfaces of stealth aircraft are designed to scatter the signals of traditional surveillance radars so that they do not return to the radar receiver. In the case of Patria MUSCL, since the radar receivers are located in different places than the transmitters, scattering the reflections away from the transmitter does not provide as much benefit.

– The ability to detect stealth aircraft is improved by the fact that Patria MUSCL also utilizes signals with lower frequencies than traditional radars, Malila explains.

This is all well and good but what happened to the vaunted air dominance that the USAF provided.

Oh and don't be fooled.  The USAF has played a role in killing several US Army anti-air systems.  The reason?  If it flies the USAF would kill it.

I'm sure someone knows the new paradigm cause I don't.

Are ground forces now told to protect themselves from anything below 2K feet to the ground?

If so then what about surface skimming cruise missiles?  Drones I get but the bigger ones that fight at distance fly at the same altitude as jets?  Is there a dedicated aerial platform designed to hunt down loitering drones etc...

THE USMC NEEDS TO GET ONBOARD THIS PROGRAM POST HASTE! THE V-22 HAD ITS TIME BUT IS OLD TECH. THIS GIVES US THE TILT ROTOR THAT WE WERE PROMISED!

Ukraine's Zelensky says he is ready for direct talks with Putin

 via France 24

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview posted Tuesday that he would agree to direct talks with Russia's Vladimir Putin to end almost three years of war.  


His comments came amid high anticipation of talks to begin, with Donald Trump -- who has pledged to end the fighting -- back in the White House as the third anniversary of Moscow's invasion approaches.   

Here 

Ya know what got Zelensky to this point?  First the election of Trump.  No more graft and corruption being hid as aid.  Second was the warning shot of the Trump administration going after USAID.  No more CIA money to back the schemes of the deep state.

So now he's willing to talk peace.

After he's killed a generation of his countrymen in a flawed and badly run war.

This poor bastard was being used from the start, was in over his head at the start and will die not from the Russians but from the Mothers Of Ukraine.

This war will be over before next winter.  The Europeans will not step up to provide the aid that they're used to getting and their industry/economies won't support it if they did try.

What fighting style do you think is most effective. I've always been partial to Thai kickboxing with a solid ground foundation as the perfect mix...

This is a great fight and I wish I caught it live. Hell I don't even know the two fighters but they put on a show. I've always been partial to Thai Kickboxing for stand up fights and with a good foundation in ground fighting I think its the perfect combination. Anyone disagree? Oh and no. All fights DO NOT always end up on the ground.

Looks like the Panama Canal issue is quickly being resolved in OUR favor

This girl was chasing money in PAKISTAN?

 

She won't be there much longer before they deport her ass. The story on this is conflicted. In some accounts she went to find a husband but was rejected. In this one the implication is that she was in a relationship and something went wrong. I hope she is deported to the US cause if not she's gonna find herself in a world of serious hurt (sex trade, slavery, assaulted on a daily...any number of things).

Economic Analysis: Canada’s Economy is About to Get Steamrolled – Full-Scale Collapse Incoming
byu/DerpDerper909 inwallstreetbets
If this prediction of Canada's future under tariffs is true then they're fucked. Uber fucked. In my lifetime I have never seen US economic power used to its fullest. If this isn't it then just plain wow. Economic power as a weapon of war. We needed the brain trust in DC to have used this card long ago, but I guess globalism is worth more than spent lives in wasteful efforts.
