Radio transmission doesn't require state-level capacity (yes there are other barriers like cost or skill) and waves don't care about borders. Receiving foreign radio was a big thing and it doesn't require special equipment
once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. were all these apps vibecoded?
beats lignite i guess
New-ish EU national IDs have NFC capability and certificate in them so you can probably sign something with that if you figure out how
thoughts and prayers if you're lucky, best that they can do now is vagueposting
either they used that or whatever was shot down looked completely different
modern radar can measure speed, size, altitude of target and count turbine blades, allowing to figure out what it is. well, rotational speed of propeller in this case but logic is the same
whatever was shot down was shot by fighter jets, not gbad
the explanation that was given at the time was that drones that were assessed as armed were shot down near border (like the one that blew off roof - it was strictly speaking debris after shootdown) but decoys were allowed to crash on their own
you might think that japanese boomers have generational wealth in form of real estate. this is not really the case, especially for rural population. houses aren't built to last, lose value like motherfucker and are commonly demolished after 20-30 years, in part because people don't like second hand, in part because there's no point of building anything sturdier if typhoon or earthquake takes it. there is some newer construction that is intended to last longer, but it's not a very common thing. so a reverse mortgage type thing won't exist there, and yeah lots of people will get shafted by these conditions
