The article is great, it’s just the poster writing unrelated fanfiction (a small portion tbh) underneath lol

edit: they actually just took some parts from the article and paraphrased it, who does that, it’s not a school essay where you have to hit a total word target

spoiler

For example, about H-6 from the article:

It is still unclear what this missile could be—if it exists at all. Therefore, we continue to assess that, although China might have developed warhead designs for potential use in cruise missiles, it currently has no nuclear cruise missiles in its active stockpile. It is possible, but unconfirmed, that the future H-20 could be equipped with a nuclear cruise missile.

Also, why would the H-6N be modified? The ballistic missiles this article mentions by designation were adapted from ship-based ones.
And the N variant is specifically made for ballistic weapons. They might carry nuke tipped CJ-10, but that’s not a new cruise missile nor limited to H-6N variants.
Just seems like unproven filler text at best.

I thought you were talking about Ukraine’s head of UAV forces for a second lol

boost probably does too, but boost for lemmy is superior. that’s what I use

I still have Stealth, though browsers are probably better since you get more control and therefore privacy

Same, used a workaround for a while but then got tired of it and my favorite client got a lemmy version. Smaller places are more fun.

Not really, there are some good examples of underdogs winning (without cruise missiles for example).

edit: and we’re not talking strictly conventional. also that’s not what “no downsides” means

What happens if one country invades the other which doesn’t posses the tech necessary to kill the leader? eg cruise missiles, bunker busters, or modern aviation in general

“Leaders can have a little assassination, as a treat”

Not too often, just enough to remind them of their humanity.

If a country’s government starts a war, the most likely result would be that political leader getting merc’d by the government of the country they attacked.

Depends on who’s stronger. I don’t think it’s gonna lead to stability every time, unless the leaders realize it’s better (read: profitable) to be at peace.
