In today's realities, we are fulfilling the tasks for which we had been preparing all previous years: SEALs rescued 500 people in one operation The fighters of the 73rd separate center of the SOF of Ukraine spoke about how civilians were evacuated from under the nose of the enemy by water, and did not allow civilians to fall into the occupation. 📹 MTR of Ukraine #heroes_among_us https://t.me/Pravda_Gerashchenko/56691 |

AoD The debt and deficit spending on "entitlements" and the debt are so large that no Congressman or the Whitehouse want to take action to institute sane spending ( to a budget); none of them want the political heat, most of them don't understand the concept, and a majority don't care when the Federal Reserve tells them that printing is no problem and they're determined to spend anyway, in whatever ill advised or offensive project they come up with next, or they're simply working to destroy the Republic, if not the nation (to satisfy the visions of the likes of international and domestic Marxists, George Soros, Klaus Schwab). |

Russia puts out some Bullshit propaganda and within a few hours, idiot posters start popping into the thread "just asking questions"....'Poland will invade Ukraine?', 'how can UA win if they are losing 10K casualties per day?'...

Someone has been setting up programming and hardware to make the JDAM kit and the airplane talk to each other. The racks also need to be compatible. I would make this modification by adding an interface box and small annunciator-control- "interpreter" in the cockpit, instead of fooling with integrating into the airplanes programming. (An interpreter that pulls only necessary data off the airplanes buss for feeding to the bomb.) |
