Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A/S/L drones. Amazing.
3 days, other, Moscow
I think 'S' might be 'binary' in this situation
Haha, I like that
Yeah, Ukraine knows more than NATO about drone warfare. Can't lose that.
The moment that Russia had to lift their siege of Kiev I felt it was going to be a long fight. After I read of the first counter offensive and how much equipment was captured and how much had been destroyed I felt Ukraine could stalemate. Reading how Russia operated during Bakmut because that is the only way they could organize and operate was pretty surreal. I was discussing it with some friends and told them that even Ukrainian Army poofed out of existence it would be a pyrrhic victory: on their loss of military personnel and equipment, their sanctioned economy and little prospect to pivot away from a war economy, and the loss of geo-political prestige and Finland joining NATO. At this point I would say that Ukraine has a real shot at winning on their terms, but having crappy allies in the white house keeps the possibility of a pyrrhic victory for Russia.
...and we shall fight them with remote controls...
Wouldn't be surprised if this became Ukraine's primary industry after the war should they survive. Kind of worrying to think about. Last thing we need in the world is more weaponized drones.
Ukraine has the right to defend itself.
That's just over 27000 per day!
How can they even use that many drones?
Presumably in terms of numbers most of those are single use so think of them more as ammo than as aircraft.
True, I didn't think of that.
