    On 26 June 2025, it was reported that the USAF had canceled the E-7 program due to ballooning costs and concerns about survivability. The termination, announced as part of the fiscal 2026 budget rollout, came after months of rumors that the program was in danger as the Trump administration increasingly set its sights on instead using space-based capabilities to help warplanes find and track enemy aircraft, known as the air moving target indicator (AMTI) mission.[7]

    because E-3s are aging out, whatever little of E-2 that remain are to be supplemented by satellites. it’s definitely a take, and it also seems like awacs is important part of air war these days. not sure what they’re cooking




  • so your solution to defeating a grenade is to dig explosive out of it?

    While I have no evidence to support that claim I have seen someone putting live ammunition in a pot and making it cook off. That experiment clearly showed that cartridges are only really dangerous when used in a firearm. I expect the physics to be very much the same here.

    then your expectations aren’t worth shit, because one is high explosive that does not require confinement to detonate, because reaction zone propagates through supersonic mechanical shock, and the other one is low explosive that has burn rate dependent on pressure, because it burns on surface, which forms foam, which slows down heat transfer, then foam collapses with pressure increase which makes heat transfer faster, but it’s all subsonic. some of the smallest fragments might be stopped by a pot wall, if grenade is in the center, but if it’s close to one wall, then the wall itself would just generate more fragments

    but you probably won’t have pot on hand, or realize what is going on in time, and you don’t know how much time is left because of manufacturing tolerances, and you probably don’t have grenade sumps in your living room, so better way would be preventing this situation in the first place, for example using laminated windows or not being a probable mafia target in sweden, if it’s practical. not by trying to cover grenade with a pot, because you just spend more time closer to grenade this way




  • first, don’t be there, then don’t be detected, then don’t be hit

    wall (brick or concrete, not cardboard) between you and grenade should stop fragments, anything less is heavily dependent on what kind of the thing it is and how lucky you are. ikea chair won’t save you, anything solid enough to be worth it would be so heavy that time spent moving it is just better spent moving away. if you live above ground floor, like on third floor or above, it’s likely that you’ll be fine because throwing grenades up is a really bad idea. grenades are round and roughly as heavy as rocks of similar size, perhaps you can get laminated glass windows that should crack but not let grenade through on impact
