Citizen Benzocaine"Defense executives plan to meet at White House as strikes on Iran diminish stockpiles"
that's good, right?
so the potential outcomes are: weapons manufacturers stop paying out to shareholders (unlikely) OR they start shipping worse product at higher volume (likely) OR they fail to meet production targets and lose their contracts to new, unproven companies who will ship faulty product at high volume (likely) OR usa runs out of munitions (hopefully soon)
regardless, more and more iranian ordinance will sail through usamerican defenses as our shit gets worse and their shit gets better
and all the while the usa is pissing billions into the ocean while its infrastructure crumbles
something something common man experiences the end of empire when a bridge collapses and no one comes to fix it
USA/Israel fall for optical illusion, waste millions. joint forces brag about bombing Iranian military aircraft when in fact they had bombed silhouettes painted on the ground. they got looney toon'd

another source i found claims russian forces used a similar trick successfully in recent years, fascinating stuff
unsurprisingly, western sources aren't reporting on the matter much, i expect due to embarrassment
Iran employs painted decoys to mislead US, Israeli forces
Iran has reportedly adopted an unconventional deception tactic in response to attacks by the United States and the Israeli occupation regime, using painted images of military aircraft and helicopters on the ground to mislead hostile forces.
ELEVEN (11) patriot missiles spent on ONE (1) iranian missile LOLOLOLOLOLOL

most i had seen before this was four 🤣
the record is now at 20
that's right, 1 iranian glide vehicle deploying a swarm of "penetration aids" (chaff, decoys) zooming right past TWENTY (20) interceptors and making the target
like, at least the fighter jet paintings had perspective and shading to look convincing from the air....
have i reminded y'all recently that my dissertation was on computer vision, my degree was funded by a DoD fellowship, and when i went to work for the navy i could never prove it but i think one of the reasons i was shunned, aside from the ableism and transphobia, was me being vocally against Command and Control automation?
so when i tell you that this shit is vindicating beyond belief... i am like beyond amused i am glowing and levitating
every time a patriot missile misses, i get closer to being the monk pictured on [[Serra Ascendant]]

@SapphicGiraffic the bigger helicopter is worth more points than the small one
Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸@SapphicGiraffic well done. 😀
Gary Ghoul's Ghoulatorium@SapphicGiraffic did they outsource their targeting software to tesla
Mr. Q The Pizza Demon@BDA @SapphicGiraffic grok, actually
Tak!@SapphicGiraffic the actual helicopter sitting 50m away on the runway is :chefkiss:
Death grips song onomatopoeia@SapphicGiraffic top right says 2024
harley@SapphicGiraffic sent this to my brother and he said this photo itself was AI generated and i think he might be right unless there's a news source i'm not able to find
Zeborah@harley I've found a few news sources about the alleged event, but the images in them are grainier - it would be surprising if an image this hi-res wasn't in those reports if it was real.
https://factually.co/fact-checks/military/bombing-paintings-iran-art-attack-analysis-91a188 discusses what may/may not have happened in more depth.
Isaac Ji Kuo@SapphicGiraffic This isn't looney toons, it's a smart Iranian tactic taking advantage of an extremely stupid Israeli/Hegseth strategy.
Using decoys isn't new. Using people to examine footage to distinguish decoys from real target isn't new.
What's new is the use of "AI" to generate lots of coordinates of "legitimate" targets with little or no care whether or not the targets are actually legitimate. Even the Russians aren't that stupid.
But you see, Israel only uses "AI" mass target
@SapphicGiraffic determination as fig leaf laundering of bombing everywhere indiscriminately.
And Hegseth and other morons believe the AI hype despite the obvious lying, contradiction with reality, and contradiction with common sense.
AI doesn't care whether or not a target is legitimate. It just spits out however many coordinates per day is requested.
J$@SapphicGiraffic Ai warfare is many horrible things, including expensively wasteful in so so many ways
GhostOnTheHalfShellSkynet will not necessarily kill us from accurate aim. Rather, we will all be killed off by its stupidity.

I hope it' a fake.. The shape is of a CH47, Iran received only 2 of them, 50 years ago, I suppose
