damn imagine being a tech that performs engineering miracles just to make this piece of shit last of their species brezhnev era relic radar to talk to other elements of air defense, then it gets blown up and the next one was programmed in soviet cobol
If it’s from the late 1950s, it wouldn’t even have been a knockoff COBOL. Probably assembly language for a machine that used either base 3 or base minus 2. (Before Khrushchev (I think) gave the order to stop inventing their own tech and start cloning American computers, the Soviets had some seriously weird computer architectures.)
It’s entirely possible that it was a fully analog device
Well fuck, that was supposed to be some of our last defense against aliens who wreck all our digital technology and leave the analog stuff behind, which is how we win the war.
i think it’s early 70s mobile modification for 60s static radar
But since they have kept all of their people ignorant, so they can’t rise up they’re all set
RARE! NO LOW-BALLERS! I KNOW WHAT I GOT!
So sorry for your loss, Putler.
