They certainly can in terms of “they’ve built these systems for their own aircraft”. Germany is in the process of upgrading some of its Typhoons to replace its old fleet of dedicated electronic warfare Tornados, and France has got EW stuff on the Rafale. I’ve got no idea what sort of scale the systems are available on or how easily they could be adapted to Ukraine’s menagerie of equipment though
With all due respect mate, I am British, I do understand the toll of the Blitz. I’m just conscious of the fact that Ukraine has basically been suffering the same conditions for far longer, as pointed out by the other reply. That isn’t an attempt to downplay what Britain suffered, but rather to properly recognise the severity of what Ukraine is suffering. I’m sure I don’t need to send photos of the damage done by Russia.
For what it’s worth, Britain probably didn’t suffer as much as Ukraine has. The actual island of Great Britain was more or less secured after the aerial battle of Britain was won, and that took less than a year. Military casualties would go on to be comparable to the war in Ukraine, of course, and there was the ongoing difficulty of feeding everyone, but Britain at least had the sea and a massive navy standing between it and the enemy and civilian casualties were “only” about 70,000
I believe it’s about how Israel is invading southwestern Syria under the pretence of protecting the Druze community there. There have been a couple of small skirmishes between local Druze fighters and the new Syrian government, but it seems like Israel is basically testing whether or not it can pseudo-annex the area like it did with the adjacent Golan Heights
You could honestly just ask the ghost via the oiuja board and it would be roughly as meaningful as a polygraph
The flag is the Druze flag, and the guy on the left is Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, leader of HTS and current president of Syria
Less than 4,000. The 15% includes a 9% bloc of undecideds. The remaining 6% is getting preeeeetty damn close to Lizardman’s Constant territory
To be honest I don’t think our automotive industry ever really psychologically recovered from British Leyland
Here’s French wikipedia calling the mythological figure “Ariane” with no D https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_(mythologie)
“Aryan” in French is “aryenne”, it has a different vowel
France had plenty of pre-WWII rocket scientists, like:
What France did not have was a counterpart to Operation Paperclip like Britain and the Soviet Union did
And lastly, the guy that picked the name was a devoted supporter of Charles de Gaulle
This criticism does not hold up any scrutiny whatsoever
Largest army in Europe that’s not already fighting in Ukraine. This would be a lot of weight behind a peacekeeping force
If you accept a lack of gears, a belt drive instead of a chain probably simplifies the most difficult part of actually making it. Best pick somewhere with good roads though, since you’re definitely not making pneumatic tyres or a pump to fill them with
Did these Ukrainians vote for him?
I haven’t checked all of them, but I looked up the first three receivers listed by Eutelsat Oneweb for “land mobility” usage. One was made in the US and UK, one was South Korean, and the one intended for military usage is Spanish. I guess South Korea is not NATO, but that’s about the NATO-est non-NATO country there is
A note: this doesn’t mean Ukraine’s HIMARS systems can’t fire. The difficulty is in identifying the coordinates of targets accurately, not in giving the missile instructions

The picture on the right is used in a commom spam message on the fediverse. I have no idea what the author of the spam is even trying to do with it, but I’ve received it from a couple of different accounts
long before Russia went in
There’s a problem with this, because Russia has had troops in Ukraine since early 2014, before Poroshenko’s government
My greatest ever achievement in the kitchen was that time I successfully cut a bagel into two interlocked rings like this
I had a Shadow of the Colossus t shirt that I really liked. It was just a black shirt with the silhouette of the first colossus, the landscape, and Wander made by bleaching against a stencil. It didn’t sau the name of the game or anything, but if you have played it you’d immediately recognise the scene, and if you haven’t it just looked like a fairly ordinary shirt with a big monkey-like silhouette on it
