J'ai rencontré une ancienne élève devenue gardien de la paix. Un an qu'elle est titulaire elle gagne 2300€. Une stagiaire dans mon bahut elle débute avec 1650€. C'est incroyable. Pas de bac un concours catégorie C donné et tu gagnes plus qu'un bac plus 5 avec concours exigeant.



L'analyse se répand. Ici sur Reddit. Je n'en suis pas l'auteur, sinon j'aurais dit que la surcotisation n'est plus à 78 mais à 82.


I frequently cite a figure that 30 Ukrainians die for every Russian KIA in Ukraine. This figure is supported by publicly available data on military amputations as well as the regular casualty exchanges. It's literally the most substantiated casualty ratio estimate that exists.

@letmepickthat So guide = Fire control ? E2 vectoring = fire control solution? By that logic stop making x band in fighter jets why waste money 😂😂😂

Beat this... Astra Mk1 Rmax 160km Astra Mk2 Rmax 240km Astra Mk3 Rmax 350km Your turn












People often compare airborne S-band AESAs with naval systems without understanding aperture physics. An AWACS may be a massive aircraft, but its radar usually has large length and limited height. That means the effective 2D aperture is still far smaller than naval multifunction radars like EL/M-2248 MF-STAR or AN/SPY-6. In radar engineering, beam precision depends on aperture geometry, not platform size. Warships also bring advantages aircraft simply cannot: Far higher continuous power generation Massive cooling capacity Larger planar arrays Denser T/R module packing without worrying about weight That is why naval S-band AESAs can achieve true engagement-quality fire control at long ranges, while airborne S-band radars are optimized more for surveillance, battle management, and missile support rather than ultra-fine terminal precision. I hope people stop getting carried away by pakistani claims of guiding PL15 through AWACS.
