##WW1 flashback: the battle of Arara
Armenian Legion was fighting alongside the French against Turkey in the Middle East during WW1. The Legion consisted of soldiers who had earlier defended civilians during the Genocide.
Against 600 Armenians were fighting 1000 Turks and 600 Germans.
The Allied objective was to capture two hills near Rafat-Arara. On Sep-19-1918, the Armenian Legion managed to penetrate the Turkish lines and reach the rear. It led to Anglo-French advancements and eventual victory.
Armenians sustained 23 deaths and 76 wounded. They were buried in the nearby Brotherly Cemetery.

##the suicide drone
On July 19th we learned about various drones manufactured in Armenia, including a suicide drone called Hresh.
High-Tech Minister Arshakyan released a new video showing one such drone in action. It's not clear if this is Hresh; it resembles an Orbiter. It successfully located and struck the target.

##Aliyev makes a statement about Karabakh conflict / Armenia responds
Pashinyan earlier listed 7 steps towards de-escalation, installation of border monitoring mechanisms, etc.
Ilham Aliyev: // Armenia is preparing for war. They are moving troops near the border and committing provocations. There are no real negotiations right now. Armenians are illegally settling civilians in occupied territories. //
Armenian MFA: // Aliyev's statement is disappointing and shows his inability to perceive reality without emotions and personal motives. Such rhetoric, which contains false information, doesn't bring honor to any leader.
We recognize the losses Azerbaijan suffered during the 2016 and 2020 battles. For these losses not to become permanent, the Azeri govt has to review its policy of force and the attempts to [involve Turkey] in destabilizing the region. //

Think either of them will talk about that whole situation. She's been on before and worked with Mike for years.
Hi guys, as the question says, does anybody know exactly at what range do the AIM-120s go pitbull (switch to tracking with their own radar)? I've been playing around with them in other games and it usually is around 10 miles, but I'm not sure in this game. Is there like a visual cue in the HUD or something that displays it?
Knowing this would make things like cranking and even notching way easier.
Thanks in advance!
I finally got around to reading this one since I've been working my way through the black list and it stuck with me a bit.
First of all, I think Megan Amram is a really solid comedic writer, and I've enjoyed her work on Parks and Rec and The Good Place. There were more than a few moments in this that genuinely got laughs out of me just on text, which is saying a lot. However, I can't help but feel like certain aspects of the story were not only predictable, but also fell into the trap of 'self insert wish fulfillment' without the self-awareness you need to pull something like that off; a part of me was taken back to reading fan fictions in middle school, when there would be the cool new badass character that beats up all their bullies with the help of their favorite fictional hero, in what was clearly them dealing with real situations they had been subjected to in school.
It feels as though Amram is essentially taking the 'winning an argument in the shower' and multiplying that into a feature length screenplay, albeit with caricatures of her antagonsists placed in a fantasy where she manages to reduce them to bumbling fools, even down to literally having a character say they're hosting an 'incel meeting in their mom's back house'.
I think with some reworking of the tone to make it feel more subversive, rather than relying on narrative cliches that have been done to death (such as the 'character becomes cool, abandons her uncool friend, realizes she made a mistake and goes back to her that we've seen numerous times before) that this could genuinely be a really special project; the premise is great, the humor is on point, but I found the plot itself lacking, though by no means beyond salvaging.
What did y'all think?
If I had a gun with two bullets and was in a room with Sadeas Amaram and Moash I would shoot Moash twice.
And as always screw Moash
I wrote the new book SCIENCE...FOR HER! and write for Parks & Recreation and I tweet LIKE A LOT under the username @meganamram. I literally am in love with you all!!! Ask me anything, as long as it's easily googleable!
