Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

    Nobody knows for sure except the US gvmt at the moment - but from what can be seen, radar sites containing equipment for two separate THAAD systems were damaged, with one having a THAAD radar unit that was confirmed to have been damaged - we don’t know the extent however, beyond that it’s mostly intact in the few images. Likely this means one battery has been knocked out for the foreseeable future, but the second one may still be fully operational or it may be reliant on supplemental radar or it might have been denied the supplemental radar.

    We just don’t know any details beyond that at most two systems may have been damaged, one of them badly.






  • I won’t let it go to my head. I promise. Probably.

    Anyways tho for an actual opinion:

    This thread is a bit of a mess and I would caution taking anything being said (except by me, the absolute authority) without a large grain of salt - however mostly people aren’t contradicting each other, it’s just a hugely complex topic that quickly devolves into semantic-adjacent arguments about how we should be comparing battery chemistries (on market / in lab / cross-chemistry) and what degree we should be considering the “soft factors”; things like the number of recharge cycles, robustness of the cells to damage, cost of manufacturing and/or recycling the cells, etc.

    Sodium batteries are a big deal, and as far as I’ve seen we’re finally at the point where they’re starting to become market viable, but they’re still a largely unproven technology. Arguing that battery tech hasn’t improved in the last decade is obviously wrong, but it’s also not wrong to say that there hasn’t been any dramatic improvement in the technology in the last decade. None of the many “miracle battery tech” announcements that promise to have double-or-better the capacity of lithium chemistries has panned out, we’ve just been making slow gains across many chemistries and those cumulative 10% improvements to battery life year-over-year are finally starting to add up to where the average consumer can really notice them.
