bald french man said once that factories, schools, barracks, hospitals are prisons so maybe self-host that instead?

it's called dielectric mirror, this type of mirror can be made to be extremely effective over narrow range of wavelengths and it's used in lasers for this reason. this is also the only way to manipulate extreme UV (13nm tin source, used in EUV semiconductor manufacturing)

similar effect is responsible for blue color of some butterflies and feathers that don't contain blue pigment

i think that's the plot of Tenet (2020)

that assault is definitely something, but i also remember similar situation that ended up with something closer to 15 dead russians after they were unloaded right in front of trench from two ifvs. in that case one of these vehicles were also hit with antitank weapon

so it seems, that drone probably isn't even using frequencies that that jammer emits (probably it's against small fpv drones, so we're talking about 2.4ghz, 5ghz wifi bands + 1.6 ghz gps and maybe some others) but also it's fixed wing so it'll just glide to the target on its own

russians regularly launch cruise missiles over caspian sea during combined strikes on targets in ukraine. there's enough range in them and over there, large bombers are safe

and by the way, i'm of opinion that it's one of several times in history when rabid mccarthyism of CIA came around to bite them in their ass later, because if shah's CIA handlers weren't laser-focused on destruction of Tudeh party, then Khomeini would have to compete with them for audience and islamic revolution might have never happened. but it's a talk for another day

hostile reminder that government != people of a given country

there is some opposition, not much, and you won't hear from them a lot because communications out of the country are tightly controlled and iranian security apparatus is on the more hostile end of scale, but there is something. iranian emigrants tend to be pretty liberal

Shah was a piece of shit, but i'm pretty sure lotrorc is about removal of prime minister Mossadegh from power. That definitely didn't make things better
