And who is to say the armour found on black figure pottery is the exact same armour that Ajax wore in form and shape? That stuff was obviously scaled or plate, it makes much more sense they were bronze.

No one. Homer wasn't there. He doesn't know. There's no cameras.

However, what we do know for certain is
>linen armor was commonly worn, soldiers are often described as wearing it
>linen armor was made of linen, it is specifically armor made of linen and no other materials are mentioned, they may have been used, but that is not stated
>linen armor was called linothorax and variations thereof, it is not a modern invented term

in short, literally all "well akshually" discourse surrounding the linothorax is wrong and is perpetuated by tards.

You're probably right for most people in antiquity
I think my mind went to the prevalence of padded jacks and maille later on, where protection of arms became a lot more common place, and shield coverage often went that way inclined
Similar reason as to why thighs got more coverage too I suppose, if was all part of the chest protection once maille was more common

Yeah, that's nice. A linen armor existed, but it wasn't the armor of the classical hoplite.

all commercial dji drones have integrated flight wind correction, can auto follow humans or other objects and will pull up by themselves if they detect they are too close to tree tops, you are a retarded boomer if you think that drone is not dodging automatically. do you know how long those things can stay airborne? how the fuck do you think a human pilot could maintain perfect vigilance to do such precise manouvers over such a long period of time?

>changing the firmware of a proprietary , non open source, non DIY drone made by some far away company is hard and takes time
We're talking about a domestic built Russian UAV. They have access to every step of it's production down to the brand of epoxy they use to hide the circuitry.
>>62788125
>i just dont think the russian army + defense industry is efficient enough to have that sort of fast iteration speed
They've shown pretty quick iteration on other concepts in this war, and they've designed and put a handful of small, fixed wing drones like this into service in the past few years.

It's also worth mentioning that "an ai chip with preprogrammed evasive maneuvers" could be little more than a motion sensor that tells the drone to bank hard for x length of time when it picks something up in the rear camera. A cellphone camera, a microcontroller running some *incredibly* basic computer vision software, and a few lines of new code in the flight controller. If you're feeling really fancy maybe you'll build some new fiberglass bodywork to accommodate the new sensors, but drilling a hole would work just as well.

Not only that, both sides have been flashing off-the-shelf chink drones for years now with their own firmware to make them less of a security risk.

Sometimes companies and governments keep the orders a secret because they're still undergoing negotiations with a supplier. For example, I think Indigo successfully had a deal with Airbus a good year in advanced on their large airplane deal, but they didn't announce it till much later for when they negotiated with engine suppliers for a mass order as well.

The guy was such a hopeless alcoholic that he got completely fucking wasted on a visit to Washington DC, slipped past his own security to go out and buy a pizza in the middle of the night, and got detained by the local cops for stumbling around lost, confused, and half-naked in the middle of the street.

And then, at some point, everyone figured out the most efficient way to do things. And since then, every rifle is based on the M4, every camo looks the same, every tank looks the same, every jet looks the same.
