    “Théoden no longer recognizes friend from foe. Not even his own kin. Saruman has poisoned the mind of the king and claimed lordship over this land. My company are those loyal to Rohan. And for that, we are banished.” - Èomer, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

    For those doing the maths at home:

    An F35 who obligingly flies top-towards-you (not exactly something you can do, but hey, maybe they’re turning) is all of 10m tall.

    An AIM-120C can very comfortably hit a target at 100km.

    At that range, the F-35 takes up 26 arcseconds, or 0.007 degrees. That’s roughly about the size of this period, at a distance of 3 meters away.

    [ . ]

    Good luck spotting that in a sky of roughly the same colour, full of other objects.

    If a fighter jet is within visual range of a camera, it’s already too late. And that’s if there aren’t any clouds.

      Speaking of fire trucks has anyone here ever read the emergency response procedures for teslas in severe accidents? When I was a volunteer we gave it a look over.

      If I remember right, Depending on the model they recommend up to 8,000 gallons (~30k liters) to keep an overheating battery’s temp stable in case of fire or exposure to high heat. I’ll link the resource page here.

      Our engine holds 700 gallons (5.2k liters) and the typical tanker in our area holds 2,000 (7.5k liters)

      That’s a house fire level response for a single electric vehicle. Just getting that much water moved to a scene would be challenging. We have tankers, but how many city departments can move that much water? You don’t see hydrants on highways. And foam is not effective like it is for normal car fires. The future will be interesting for firefighters.

      Someone died because one of those cars thought the broadside of a white semi trailer was the sky and drove under it

        I thought it mistook the semi that was crossing a divided highway as an overpass and attempted to drive under it?

    Just use multiple nuclear power plants to power an AI that constantly scans the sky.

    Are we sure he’s not an NCD poster?

      The f-35 is built for engagements outside the horizon, like, the target is blocked by the curvature of the earth.

      Light sensitive cameras and rudimentary AI…
