Seertallene for The Acolyte ser ut til å være ca. 25% mindre enn for Ahsoka. Og dette gjelder altså de første to episodene, som var kjedelige, men ikke like ille som episode 3 og 4. Denne serien er død ved ankomst, likevel sitter "profesjonelle kritikere" og "mediejournalister" og klør seg i hodet over hvordan de selv kan være så totalt i utakt med publikum.

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/34782 ATACMS Comes Out on Top Versus Russia’s S-500 Anti-Missile System The duel in the skies above Crimea pitted 1990s-era US weapons against the Russian air defense platform Kremlin calls “the best in the world.” A salvo of Lockheed-Martin’s long-range missiles fired by Ukrainian forces on Saturday and Sunday broke through Russian air defenses to damage an early warning radar complex near the Crimean city of Yevpatoria, despite the nearby deployment of what is said to be best anti-missile system Russia possesses. Ukrainian military sources backed by video of the launch and images from the impact area confirmed that at least four US-manufactured ATACMS missiles had punched through Russian air defenses on Sunday morning strikes against an air defense installation on Crimea’s southern coast. Multiple missiles appeared to have successfully struck near the Crimea village of Vitino, site of a major Russian space forces tracking and early-warning radar installation. Video geo-located to the area showed fires reaching a hundred meters into the sky. Russian mil-bloggers confirmed an air defense site had been attacked and suffered substantial damage and major fires. Some identified the target as the NIP-16 Space Tracking and Deep Space Communications Center. The Soviet-era installation contains hulking, office building-sized radar arrays at two sites, one near the village of Vitino and another near the village of Uyutne. The center was constructed in 1958 during the Cold War to track space vehicles and, possibly, ballistic missiles. Some Ukrainian news platforms reported missiles hitting a Russian troop base near the villages of Molochny and Uyutne. The UNIAN news agency citing military sources said a “series of explosions had occurred at around 10 p.m. on Saturday.” Both Russian and Ukrainian sources said Kyiv had fired a second wave of ATACMS missiles about twelve hours later, with multiple sources confirming as many as five Ukrainian missiles hitting around the major Russian military base in Sevastopol at about 10 a.m. The home port for the Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol is a critical element of the Kremlin’s military infrastructure and central to the air defense of Crimea. According to Ukrainian intelligence, among other sources, at the heart of that air defense network is a recently deployed battery of S-500 missiles, Russia’s latest air defense weapon. According to official Kremlin accounts, local air defenses reports intercepted four of five incoming ballistic missiles. One of the intercepted missiles was knocked off course and detonated a warhead carrying cluster munitions close above a beach thick with civilians, Crimea governor Mikhail Razvozhayev claimed in a statement. Monday news reports put the casualty toll at five dead and at least twelve injured. Video from the scene showed panicked beach-goers running inland to escape explosions. Images allegedly recorded in a garden near the beach showed a dirt crater and building damage similar to that caused by a cluster munition’s detonation. The pro-Ukraine Crimea information platform Krymsky Veter published the video. The loss of life and injuries were the direct responsibility of Washington, which is providing Ukraine weapons to attack Russian civilians, a Sunday Kremlin statement said. The waterfront where the summer vacationers were hit, locally known as Utenovka Beach, is less than half a kilometer from a major Russian ground forces troop and air defense base, and a little more than a kilometer from military wharves used by the warships of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. According to isolated reports, Russian military sites in Sevastopol’s southern Kazachy Bay may also have been targeted, but a missile strike and damage was not confirmed independently. Falling debris from a Soviet-era TOR-M2 missile fired in an unsuccessful intercept attempt against an incoming ATACMS struck a populated district in Sevastopol as well, the independent UNIAN news agency reported on Monday. Other reports said Russian air defense units in Sevastopol fired Pantsir missiles – an anti-aircraft weapon not designed to intercept ballistic missiles – at the incoming ATACMS approaching almost vertically at Mach 5 without effect. Air space above the Russia-occupied, and heavily militarized Crimea is some of the most densely defended in the world. Since Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Kremlin forces have continuously maintained at least two and sometimes three highly potent S-400 heavy air defense systems, along with numerous shorter-range systems. Moscow has touted the S-400 as capable of detecting and shooting down aircraft out to a range of 400 kilometers and intercepting ballistic missiles. The actual battle performance of the weapon has not lived up to the advertising, and Ukrainian forces – at times using ATACMS missiles – have since mid-May repeatedly and often effectively attacked S-400 batteries in Crimea. The Ukrainian campaign to demolish Russian air defenses in Crimea has accelerated in recent weeks with missile strikes targeting S-400 and S-330 launchers taking place June 7, 10 and 12, following new deliveries of US-made ATACMS missiles. On May 24, a six-missile ATACMS raid hit the Russian Air Force’s main radar and air communications center on the south Crimea shore, destroying it. A space observation facility at the site also was hit. The Kremlin has, according to military analysts, responded to the losses of high-end S-400 launch platforms, radars, control vehicles and support trailers, along with less-capable systems lost in the repeated attacks, by deploying an experimental replacement system for the S-400, called the S-500 Prometheus, to Crimea. The Saturday-Sunday strikes marked the first time US ATACMS could be confirmed to have entered air space defended by a Russian S-500, Kyiv Post researchers found. Russian milbloggers in recent weeks have repeatedly called their own government to account for, allegedly, ineffective defense of Crimean air space because of “failure” to take action against American reconnaissance drones flying over international waters in the Black Sea. The US spy planes, in almost all cases a Boeing Global Hawk robot jet, according to those Russian accounts collect precise data on Russian military installations and equipment across Crimea and then Pentagon operators turn over the intelligence to Kyiv. Ukrainian military intelligence head Kyrylo Budanov commented on a June 12 televised interview that Russia had recently deployed their country’s most advanced air defense system, called S-500, to Crimea to protect Sevastopol and military installations around it from attack by ballistic missiles such as the American ATACMS. Although the US Air Force has flown Global Hawk missions over waters south of Crimea repeatedly since 2014, the first-ever confirmed sortie by the high-tech reconnaissance aircraft into Black Sea air space, simultaneously with major Ukrainian missile strikes against Crimea, was on June 12. A US Air Force Global Hawk with the call sign Forte10 spent about fifteen hours loitering in Black Sea air space on June 23, some 230-250 kilometers from Sevastopol, and it was in the air well-placed to monitor Russian military activity and communications, when both ATACMS missiles salvoes struck, Kyiv Post review of open source flight tracking data found. Overraskende at guvernøren av Krim faktisk antagelig er ærlig om dette. Men det er vel for vanskelig å dekke over, når det var så mange sivile på stranden som så dette.

Yeah, dette høres ut som straight up bullshit. Tipper det heller er snakk om at Danmark har blitt bedt om å slutte av USA. Jeg tror USA faktisk er livredde for at F-16 blir en gamechanger, fordi alt Russland har er så ræva, og i en ikke fjern fremtid har de ikke noe særlig luftskyts heller, slik at vestlige jagerfly blir nærmest uimotsagte på slagmarken... Hvorfor dette skulle være et problem for USA kan man jo stusse over. Biden og Sullivan lever altså med eskaleringsspøkelset, og særlig Sullivan er ofte i kontakt med sine russiske motparter. Det spørs om dette er smart eller ikke. For det virker som om de har balletak på ham.

https://www.newsweek.com/fire-rages-moscow-research-center-behind-signal-jamming-techvideo-1916575 Fire Rages at Moscow Research Center Behind Signal-Jamming Tech A huge fire has engulfed a research center in Moscow that develops radio-electronic systems for Russia's Defense Ministry, videos circulating on social media show. The blaze at the Platan Research Institute, located in the town of Fryazino in the Moscow region, was reported by local media and several Russian Telegram channels, including Mash, which purports to have links to Russia's security services. "The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth floors are on fire," Mash said on Monday, sharing a video of the blaze. The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! We don't need no water 😄

https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/06/23/ukraine-isnt-anywhere-close-to-running-out-of-t-64-tanks/ Ukraine Isn’t Anywhere Close To Running Out Of T-64 Tanks Ukraina har opptil 3000 stykk T-64 og mister rundt 100 stykk i året. Ved en totalt lineær tapsrate har de da nok T-64 til å kjempe i opptil 30 år til. Oppgraderte T-64 er vesentlig bedre enn T-72 og antagelig på høyde med T-80 (som er basert på T-64). Når de utstyres med vestlig optikk og datamaskiner er de muligens også bedre enn russiske T-90.

https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/B0jBgg/mandag-24-juni-dette-har-skjedd-i-natt "Natt til mandag opplyser lederen i den russiske republikken Dagestan at dødstallet etter søndagens angrep har økt. Minst 15 politifolk skal være drept, i tillegg til flere sivile. En synagoge, to ortodokse kirker og en kontrollpost i republikken ble angrepet av væpnede menn søndag. " Minst 20 personer skal være drept totalt. Blant annet fikk en "prest" strupen skåret over. Jeg setter prest i hermetegn fordi man aldri kan være sikker på hvorvidt det er en ekte prest eller bare en KGB-agent. Virker ikke som om det russiske sikkerhetsapparatet her har særlig kontroll overhodet.

https://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/i/1MOewW/naa-har-putin-funnet-en-ny-maate-aa-hente-nye-soldater-paa Slik skal Putin hente nye soldater nå President Vladimir Putin vil ikke lenger nøye seg med å benåde straffedømte – om de melder seg til krigen i Ukraina. Nå skal mistenkte og tiltalte få den samme muligheten, meldte den Kreml-kontrollerte avisen Kommersant lørdag. – Dette er et uttrykk for desperasjon. Putin vil unngå allmenn mobilisering. Derfor har de funnet på dette for å få flere soldater, sier Russland-ekspert og forfatter Stig Fredrikson til VG. – De utvider amnestiet. Tidligere gjaldt det bare dømte fanger. Nå gjelder det også de som sitter i varetekt – og i Russland kan du bli sittende svært lenge i varetekt før saken kommer til retten.

Okkupasjoner er dømt til å mislykkes med mindre man går ekstremt, og ulovlig, hardt til verks, slik f.eks Russland og Kina og muslimske land gjør.

Ifølge satellittbilder ser det ut til at Kinas nye hangarskip Fujian, som nå går igjennom sjødyktighetsprøver, har en 180 graders svingradius på opptil 3400 meter. USA Ford-klasse hangarskip har til sammenligning en 180-graders svingradius på drøyt 500 meter. De gamle Nimitz-hangarskipene som først ble sjøsatt i 1968 har en svingradius på 1050 meter.

Woke i moderne underholdningsindustri
Brother Ursus svarte på Reg2000 sitt emne i TV-serier og -programmer
Det må være befriende og beroligende å ha et så tilfeldig forhold til virkeligheten at man bare kan velge å se bort ifra fakta når det blir ubekvemmelig. Først var det en nynazistisk deepfake, nå lyver personen til tross for at det ikke er hans interesse, og han er full, selv om han ser ut til å ha hatt et halvt glass vin. Men var det ikke fra barn og fulle folk man skulle høre sannheten? -
"Dersom skoen passer", "nå er skoen på den andre foten", og andre sko-metafor Den parten som "går for langt" ene eller andre veien blir til syvende og sist straffet av den store majoriteten av befolkningen. Hvor mange tror du det er som gidder ta seg bryet med å registrere kontoer eller kjøpe billetter for å stemme ned en film eller serie? Det vel ganske logisk at de ivrigste fansene av Star Wars er de første til å dømme serien nord og ned. Det er selvsagt svært sansynelig at scoren stabiliserer seg litt på sikt ettersom folk som ikke er interessert i Star Wars skal si sitt. Et mye større problem i underholdningsindustrien som må diskuteres er hvor ubrukelige såkalt profesjonelle anmeldere er.

AI er et verktøy. Mennesker tillegger som vanlig andre (foreløpig fiktive) livsformer sine egne kvaliteter. AI vil aldri ha noen uavhengig motivasjon.

Klart for nye eventyr i AAAA-spelet
Brother Ursus svarte på Spillredaksjonen sitt emne i Diskutér artikler (Gamer.no)
I Kina rangerer de nå turistattraksjoner som AAAAA, selv når de er falske og menneskeskapte, som f.eks "Asias høyeste vannfall" som viste seg å være en pumpe og et rør 😄 -
HAMAS-medlemmer rapporterer for kanaler som Al Jazeera og europeiske aviser og byråer som AP, så jeg tipper de har svelget temmelig mye over årenes løp som vi fremdeles ikke er klar over.

Hollywood er alltid desperate etter å gjøre det de kan for å appellere til "moderne publikum" (urban ungdom), selv i en serie som tilsynelatende er myntet på voksne. Det har nok ofte med forventninger å gjøre. Men positivt overrasket? Mine forventninger for Acolyte var ekstremt lave, men den klarte likevel å falle gjennom gulvet.
