I think that car launch is basically a R&D test but yeah, it's neat

Impressive footage of the Shahed 136 loitering munition of the IRGC
The same were used by Russia in Ukraine:
The drones are too slow, fly too low and are too small to be detected by MiG-29 radar. One Ukrainian pilot described the drone’s radar picture as similar to a truck on a road.
Also of interest to me was the fact the powered paragliding thing was used in the past by actual militaries, notably that of Lebanon and Egypt:
Powered paragliding has seen some military application including insertion of special forces soldiers and also border patrol in some governments. The Lebanese Airborne regiment adopted this technique in 2008. The US Army and Egyptian Army have used Paramotor Inc FX series units for many years, and these units are still under production
Interesting, I assumed they would all shed like my two little bastards 
Those cakes will end up with cat hair in them.
they use their piss tech to make you into one of them
Are you absolutely sure this didn't happen to you already months ago ?
Also apparently that not-really-working-that-well active protection thing (Trophy) will actively kill friendly soldiers standing too close if it attempts to intercept an incoming projectile
I mean at this point what's next ? a half-filled coloring book of swastikas they'll pretend they found distributed in childrens' hospitals ?
The point is that electric cars are shit, have never been a solution to anything, and that they shouldn't be presented as one, doubly so when as a technology, public transport exists.
Ever curious to see a French concentration camp ? here you go. They're all over the country and they call them "centres de rétention administrative", mainly used against refugees.
I know they have the same in the US but still, from the country that regularly bills itself as "the homeland of Human Rights", folks 
Holy shit, it's real
Edit: my god it doesn't stop it's nausea inducing
But the feminist hero never got to be a legend first. And yet she is one, easily surpassing Ben Franklin, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs.
[...]
She deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called RODHAM
[...]
Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself.
(ooh so that's where this comes from, I think I saw it as a tagline)
[...]
Instead, she will be decorated as an epochal heroine far too extraordinary to be contained by the mere White House
