NEW DELHI: Space agency Isro has shown the first glimpse of the country’s third lunar spacecraft Chandrayaan-3 in a documentary. Chandrayaan-3...
To some degree sure. But the cyclical load accumulation and envelope determination come mostly from the wing root area first (and wing itself) for that....rather than fuselage.
Having more integrity/strength somewhere by raw mass....also of course adds that raw mass penalty. It is trade off...
Yes NATO will escalate to an all out war (and russia knows where it stands there, including what NATO will do first to as many Russian strategic nukes as possible), there is an action plan developed for some time now if Russia uses a device "tactically".
The issue is you allow one like that...
It is in the long term beyond the current horizon we can model overall. Russia will have to be depleted in strength and probably have coups/revolutions internally to some degree downroad first.
Otherwise taking back crimea and even donbass remains very expensive for ukraine.
I feel the likely...
Something along the lines of mariupol + corridor providing it (sadly)....for some extended length of time (I really dont know when/if Ukraine will get enough force concentration ability to remove Russia from all of these spots and crimea + donbass too without causing major costs on Ukraine...
Any use of a nuclear weapon by Russia will prompt a full annihilation of it.
This has been communicated to them in the strongest terms possible (it is not talked about that much though).

2) neptune AShm numbers + potency unclear (and UKR will do everything it can to keep it that way....just look how careful they have been with releasing any Tb2 footage)
3) Plenty of LZ preparation by this point, especially since...
I moved the discussion here, hope you dont mind.
F-35 is bit of an oddball w.r.t the (dual) internal weapon bay layout....mostly because:
A) it is single engined (thus an engine is intrinsically split in centerline with volumes on either side of it.... rather than have a more "natural"...
There is indeed a quiet confidence and resolve that has now grown among the Ukrainians.
A big development is that the Russian speaking Ukrainians have nearly fully consolidated into the national image (as they feel betrayed that Russia has opted for forceful violence of this level to achieve...
Yes we are on the same page about this. OOI is a q-anon type conspiracy process. It is not science or logic based.
I expect Rakhigarhi to provide more insight into possibly how the IVC people came about themselves....and maybe what their own diversity was (given the geographic area covered in...
What is even more concerning is the precipitous drop in labour participation rate from already low 46% to something like 40%.
Lot of young folks have simply given up looking for a job....and subsist on trickle down effect of others employment/savings (and govt transfers as well). I think...
