I like Hikaru, though I find GothamChess easier to watch, and more to my level. Also helps he is absolutely excellent in maintaining viewer attention. He is an excellent story teller.
If you question whether your electronic device is compromised, it probably is.
If you question if your electronic device has exploitable vurnabilities, the answer is absolutely yes.
Don't store private info on your electronics, if you can't handle them leaking. (Nude photos, bank credentials)
Commercial VPNs are not as useful and secure as you think.
I personally cover the front facing cameras on my laptop and mobile, on the assumption that if someone were to gain access to my phone, that's the first thing they would look at.
Don't connect to random public WiFi. If you do, don't login to any online account on it, or send confidential information.
Can't help but notice that no timeframe was published. How long was the exercise? A month? A week? A day?
In any-case, whether the problems plaguing the Puma are fixable by retrofitting, or if a new design all together is necessary, is a real question with some effects to note.
After all, replacing electronic parts is completely different from replacing key mechanical systems or even sections of the hull.
Not necessarily correct.
The reason of the invasion might be because of russian adherence to the heartland theory, creating defensive depth.
Might be Putin's megalomania, need for approval rating back home, maybe the oil prices rose and they took the opportunity, maybe to prevent Ukraine from joining the EU/NATO.
Could be a thousand and one differing things, or all of them at once.
What is correct? No one but Putin (and maybe not even him) knows.
That quote is indeed his. I listened to Shannon Lee's (his daughter) podcast, and she told the story of when he understood it.
Apparently when his martial arts teacher told him he was too forceful, to be more like water, and then banned him from practicing until he understood. Short story, he went on a boat ride, got angry, started punching the river, then he got that aha moment.
Bruce Lee was actually a really wise dude. I also highly recommend the podcast.
As an Israeli former soldier, could you elaborate?
I remember our commanders telling us that there used to be a trafficking route through the border of Egypt, but it stopped when the border patrol improved, couple years back. They were smuggling Eastern European girls to prostitute.
Did something change to your knowledge? Or are you talking about another route?
As a former tank gunner, the suspension must be going through hell, every landing.
Once a year we would replace the suspension, since it gets damaged, cracked, smushed and widens by the weight.
Every month or so, I would remove a pad from the suspension, since the weight applied in the pads flatten them, so that overall, less are required to fill the surface area. For this reason, for each type of tank you don't have a specific number of pads, but a range. I think it was 127 - 105, or something of that scale, in my type of tank.
Applied to this thing, logic dictates that after every landing, immediately after, the suspension must be replaced, in fear of breakage during battle.
Suspension pad replacement by a skilled and well oiled crew can be done in 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes under potential enemy fire, whether MG or Mortar. For each cracked pad or broken pin. Total suspension replacement requires even a couple of hours at the very least, in optimal conditions on flat terrain. Not optimal.
Also must be a bloody hell on logistics. How do you move entire suspensions to a place you had to land tanks to get them there? Do you parachute them in as well?
In addition, after every landing, I would figure the the gun must be zeroed again.
Every morning, we would use a special target, in a specific distance, to calibrate the gun with our periscope. We would avoid sitting on the gun, to prevent errors in the zeroing.
Landing would affect the zeroing much more harshly, I would presume.
Conclusion, unless absolutely necessary to land a tank is this manner, I as a commander, would avoid using such tactics.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but virustotal.com fills this niche. Not only is it incredibly popular, many of my friends in the cyber security field use it regularly. It is ubiquitous there.
I would say, less "naive", and more "to forget". I remember reading about russian bots like eight years ago, the Facebook scandal, and more on the topic once in a while. But. Maintaining vigilance 24/7 is bloody tiring, as any guard/soldier knows.
I simply forget. Maybe that's how they get you. They wear you down.
