The Russian air force is stepping up its use of Soviet-era weapons that have been retrofitted for 21st-century warfare and are pounding Ukrainian forces, pulverising towns and giving Moscow an advantage on the battlefield.
“The experience of the past months and weeks shows that the enemy has significantly increased aircraft activity, using guided air bombs that destroy our positions,” Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky said in March.
The guided weapons are commonly referred to as “glide bombs” and consist of decades-old projectiles that would typically be dropped from Su-34 and Su-35 warplanes directly over targets. By adding cheap pop-out wings and a satellite navigation system, these former “dumb bombs” can now be launched by Russian bombers deep behind the front line and out of reach of Ukraine’s air-defence systems...

Do right-wingers then agitate for electoral reform and give Labour cover to scrap the House of Lords in their second term whilst bringing in proportional representation and relegating the CONservatives to History?

I would be 'tempted' to go on about an idiot antivaxxer, but his paranoia about the New World Order just reminds me of tunes by New Order. Maybe I will find a link to other bands in due course...

Mick,
It would make sense for Iran to strike an Israeli target that is further from Iran than Jerusalem to show that they are capable of striking the heart of Israel if the Israelis retaliate for their retaliatory strike.
'One of the things I learned while talking to startups and incumbent companies is that a lot of innovation that's being sold by startups as 'revolutionary' is often already being developed internally by the incumbents. They just keep quiet about it.'

News item: "Terraform makes carbon neutral natural gas"
https://terraformindustries.wordpress.com/2024/04/01/terraform-makes-carbon-neutral-natural-gas/
Clause Q & A
Q - please summarise this document; the target audience is investors who might be interested in new tech or those invested in legacy oil and gas investments
A - Here is a summary of the document targeted towards investors interested in new technologies or those with legacy oil and gas investments:
Terraform Industries has achieved a major breakthrough by successfully demonstrating an integrated system that can produce carbon-neutral synthetic natural gas from just sunlight and air. Their proprietary technology combines three key innovations:
1) A low-cost electrolyzer that can produce green hydrogen for less than $2.50/kg by leveraging ultra-cheap solar power.
2) A direct air capture system that can concentrate atmospheric CO2 for under $250/ton through a low capital expenditure design.
3) A multi-stage chemical reactor that combines the hydrogen and captured CO2 to produce pipeline-grade natural gas (>97% methane).
By combining these subsystems into a modular chemical plant, Terraform can produce a fossil-free synthetic natural gas as a drop-in replacement for conventional natural gas, but at competitive prices. This game-changing technology could upend the oil and gas industry by providing an abundant, renewable source of hydrocarbons without the carbon emissions.
Terraform sees this as unlocking industrial-scale renewable hydrocarbons to reduce dependence on fossil fuels while still meeting global energy needs. They are taking reservations now for their first production units as they ramp up manufacturing.
For investors in new energy tech, Terraform represents a breakthrough innovation that could disrupt the entire hydrocarbon value chain. For those invested in legacy oil and gas, Terraform's technology poses a viable competitive threat by providing a cleaner, renewable alternative to naturally-sourced hydrocarbons.
