The dots were added later.
Sometimes, in video games, there will be a feature that’s really useful but I always think of how unrealistic it would be.
This looks just like it would be one of those features. Crazy.
Really wish the detective mode in the batman games had some sort of timer or debuff so you weren’t playing the whole game with the filter on.
Cope cages for silos when?
They are already doing that, they even have a playbook on how to try to protect them, but apparently, “Physical protection is a set of structural measures that do not guarantee the safety of protected objects. Solutions do not exclude blast load and shrapnel impact.”
Solution What It Is Rosneft’s Own Admitted Weakness Cable barriers around tanks Cable/net mesh (40×40 cm) wrapped around storage tanks on pipe stands “NOT resistant to UAV shrapnel”; only protects against multirotor drones Scaffolding cages Modular metal scaffolding erected 5m above tank roofs “Insufficient volume of scaffolding to protect the Company’s facilities”; “high cost” Shipping container walls 20-36m high walls from stacked 20/40-ft containers with cable infill at 40 cm spacing Not yet pilot-tested; requires thousands of containers per refinery “Tent” canopy over tank farms Overhead cable-mesh tent using containers as structural supports (21m central mast) “Difficulties during firefighting”; “high snow loads” Tower crane mast cages Repurposed crane sections forming 4-pillar cage around processing units, cables at 1m spacing Each unit requires individual engineering; relies on surface foundations or guy-wires Three-barrier column protection Layer 1: cable screens 1-1.5m out from platforms; Layer 2: nets (40×40 mm mesh); Layer 3: kevlar/aramid wrapping In case of detonation, destruction is inevitable Cable fencing for pump stations 6mm cables at 500mm spacing on outrigger brackets Only designed to destroy drone airframe — does nothing against the warhead Reinforced concrete panels Reinforced Concrete wall panels replacing sheet-metal wind barriers at pump stations Only covers pump stations — the narrowest, lowest-value target category
Spoiler alert: they went for the large top-right tank.
I wonder if Russia is purposely keeping the larger tanks empty in the hope that Ukraine might simply target them based on size…
Military thermal is fucking terrifying. You can’t hide shit.
And that’s gonna be nothing compared to radio imaging, which is already good enough to read heartbeats off passive wifi. Twenty years ago, making that practical would’ve been PhD thesis, as an absolute nightmare of modeling and filtering. Nowadays we can probably grind it out as a neural network and run it on the drone itself.
