  • Thanks for that - 5G signal here is pretty poor so probably not going to make a significant improvement. Still, I have about a year before Virgin contract ends so there maybe an improvement in the 5G network (it’s been promised for over a year) or BT may even get round to putting fibre into our estate. Not going to hold my breath there though.

    Other wise I’ll have to settle for a paltry 30 mbps that I’ll get over the BT Network.

    It really does piss me off to see all these claims of ‘up to’ this or that. If it’s on BT network - you can’t improve it. And I know the network here is naff :-(




















  • From the article:

    'The aircraft’s most notable capability is its ability to deploy large-scale drone swarms mid-flight, potentially overwhelming enemy defenses by sheer volume and unpredictability. State-released video footage simulated the dramatic visual of a synchronized UAV launch sequence.

    Drone swarms offer strategic advantages in surveillance, intelligence gathering, and real-time reconnaissance, particularly in contested regions such as the Taiwan Strait. Analysts warn that such a capability could play a central role in a future conflict scenario between China and Taiwan.

    In addition to drone launches, the Jiu Tan can also be equipped with cruise missiles and air-to-air weapons like the PL-12E, further expanding its offensive potential.’

    A big difference.
