+3 Dildo of listening, requires attunment

The Dildo or listening grants its user advantage on all perception checks using sound. When attuned to the Dildo of Listening you cannot be suprised and gain +5 to initiative. If you also have the alert feat your hearing range is extended to 70 miles. Once per round you may as a bonus action 'mark' an airborn enemy giving all of your allies advantage on ranged attacks againt that target until your next turn.

The heck is that?

I gotchu boo

Ahhh right, I didn't recognize it from a photo but I've read of it.

It's annoying that so many sources are calling VERA-NG a "radar" when it's specifically not a radar: it's a fully passive system, it only receives and doesn't emit. Hell, even the Wiki article is titled VERA passive sensor

[-] AtmaJnana@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Its not even very similar to a radar.

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago

Radar can totally be passive, and if you're flying above enemy territory, it's a really good idea to use passive radar and not active radar (the latter of which is used for some guided missile platforms).

In fact, active radar means everyone with passive radar knows where (and probably, what) you are.

Oh interesting, although that does make complete sense. I'm an old sigs pig so I'm not too clued in on this stuff honestly

[-] jimbolauski@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Radiolocation can be passive radar can not. Radar requires one or more transmitters and one or more receivers.

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

One of the primary sensors on F16 (simulators in the early 1990s) was a passive radar — called that — that detected and pointed at those things trying to ping my plane.

Since it detected transmissions outside effective range, it meant I tracked them sooner than they tracked me, much the way automotive radar detectors have different warning sounds for when they sense radar around somewhere and when the car is being pinged directly.

Technically (the best kind of correct!) There is a transmitter in these cases, just not controlled by the same source as the detector.

I suspect radiolocation isn't restricted to radar signals but can track stars and radio stations. Though they too transmit.

[-] jimbolauski@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

Just because they dumbed down what a radiolocation sensor is and called it passive radar doesn't make it a radar. RADAR was an acronym radio detection and ranging. Passive systems triangulate that is different than ranging. For ranging to work you need the transmitter and receiver to cooperate.

Vera, you say?

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 8 points 8 months ago

Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle

badum tss

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 8 months ago

Then let's hope it can help penetrate Russian lines.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 12 points 8 months ago

i believe that is an Imperial Probe Droid before it unpacks itself

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It’s an advanced radar system

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 17 points 8 months ago

As I said in another comment, I didn't recognize it from photos but I've read of the VERA system. It's actually specifically not a radar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VERA_passive_sensor

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 8 points 8 months ago

So the rod can be elongated

[-] nuke@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

It's a grower, not a shower

It does not appear to be lubed

You steal people's lives, this steals your bunghole, General Embezzlovich.

What’s the use of a horizontal launching missile when everywhere you could launchh it at is uphill?

[-] bobgray123987@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 8 months ago

What is it?

[-] ironsoap@lemmy.one 30 points 8 months ago

For those who are to lazy to check the link, it's an Electronic Support Measures (ESM) mast and station. Essentially a highly specialized series of antennas, receivers, and processors designed to listen for Radio Frequency transmission on the battle field. Generally used in multiples to triangulate and track.

is it connected to Tinder also?

(was it true btw, that some Russian troops could be located via tinder?)

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Cell phones have been a problem for modern armed forces for a while now, famously a secret base was made less than secret thanks to some folks using Strava and posting their routes.

So, likely yes. Especially given their lack of discipline / enforcement of OpSec.

Sees without being seen

So it's a cuck dildo.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Great idea, but we did it first... (Some rando threw a big floppy dildo at a politician around the time the TTPA free trade agreement was being negotiated)

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
