Friday, half an hour before the end of the working day. Fixing the bugs

 

 

That's it. That's it. You'll laugh, but the country's out of scotch. All of it. Completely. Totally. Russia Post was the first to stop.

We have a special combat model! If you run out of ammunition, you can kill your enemy with it! And with skill, you can even stop a tank!

In the fourth year of military school we were brought for the first time to the Topol control system simulator.
Having seen that the thickness of the case is eight millimeters, I said in the heart: "Well, to destroy this equipment we should really make a nuclear explosion...".
To which I received quite a reasonable answer: "... and inside it."

The "micro" processor was on ferrite rings, so as not to lose information in case of power failure. It weighed about 80 kg. Probably, it was a joke about it, saying that our microprocessors have four legs and two handles for carrying.

There would be no references and much less pictures, as you understand. :)

Are they no longer trained to navigate using a map? Or is the speed of movement of foot and motorised groups now so great and rapid that a navigator with a 12-hour battery charge is needed - and later everything - return to base - the batteries have run out, and without a navigator - we have no eyes, nor can we navigate on the ground and on the map.

It's just more convenient and faster with a navigator. The army is hi-tech now. Many, for instance, have never even heard of a slide rule. Still, a calculator is more convenient. And that's not what the post is about... Why are we reproducing this wretchedness!? Ridiculous... They invented some kind of Glonass, when GPS has been operational for a long time now. The state is throwing a huge amount of money at outdated ideas. In a word, we make bricks of gold (well, flats in Miami to be exact).

GPS easily changes accuracy on command in a given area. The military cannot rely on it.

The main criterion is autonomy. And it is not for a cutthroat journalist to judge for what reason they buy one technology, rather than the one that is "more advanced and cheaper". Don't forget that Russia has a land border, while Britain and the United States have a sea border. And our army, tactics and strategy are not the ships and sea starts and spot quick strikes - but trenches and infantry and protracted battles. And in such circumstances - navigators do not solve the problem.
