Graphite is an open source vector #graphics #editor and #animation engine, written in #Rust which is on its way to a first beta release! Super exciting!  

When you scroll down a bit on their website, they show off some of their recently added features in a video (my facial expression during the whole duration of the video: 😮).

What a bunch of creative folks!

New Weapon in #Iran #War?

After a #graphite #bomb is dropped from aircraft, it opens to releasing submunitions. They disperse graphite filaments in the air at set altitude, which settle to the ground

Such bombs are dropped on #energy #infrastructure, including power plants, transformers, power transmission lines, etc

Because graphite filaments conduct electricity, they cause short circuits, disabling all equipment and stopping power supply.
