In fairness, I think 1812 was more a case of America underestimating the Canadians.

The British thought 1776 was going to be a cakewalk, 1812 as well.
I haven't had that issue at all - during the past couple of weeks I've flown several drones (which are GPS dependent) and flown my club's airplane (which has GPS), no issues and both as satellite dependent. Better check for sunspots!As a side note, have any of you noticed that the West's GPS system is in jitter mode? Not the location system types that use cell phone towers, but the hardwired GPS systems that receive their data directly from the GPS satellites. My Garmin is alternating irregularly, but somewhat rapidly, showing me off position by as much as a mile from where I actually am when I am traveling at high speed. It seems to be switching between showing my position off - left/right/short relative to direction of travel - by between .25 and 1 mile, switching about every 1-5 minutes.
I remember reading, in the early 1990s, about the ability of the Government(s) to mess with the GPS system so that it would not be practical to be used by non-friendly targeting systems. I wonder if this is an example?

That certainly was true. It would have been even worse if we hadn't had the best general in American history up at Chippewa on July 5, 1814. Winfield Scott saved the Army from itself in that campaign.It was it think a case of Americans having a weak grasp of strategy in the whole. Who's going to send their army north when the enemy is sailing in from the east?
Dont think so. Clearly she has a good set of brains and is not afraid to use it. I mean....Not really, she was just out of her depth as Minister of Defence.
According to some sources, it was the combat with the Azov regiment.A FOURTH Russian general has now been killed, the Ukrainian authorities have said.
Major-General Oleg Mityaev, 47, died in the storming of Mariupol, along with seven members of an elite SWAT team, in a fresh blow to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Hybrids have come a long way in 20 years. My Hyundai Plug-in Hybrid Ioniq delivers any where between 60-90 MPG depending on conditions and terrain. It handles like a sports car, stops on a dime, is amazingly peppy for a 4-door sedan on 1.8L, thanks to electric on- demand boost, and has a five speed, dual mode, dual clutch, smart auto transmission that is so smooth it sounds and feels like a constantly variable. On top of that, it comes standard, base model, loaded with features that are options on other brands, and retails <$30K. Hard to find in the Eastern US, as most are consigned to the west coast market. Mid America? Forget it!Buy a hybrid. My Toyota 2002 Prius is 20 years old now, with ~576,000 miles on it. It is getting rusty, but still averages ~45 mpg.
Big chunks of that unit are ideological fascists and their iconography is pure fascism. They are the most problematical unit in the Ukrainian resistance. That said, I can't be too upset if they are 1) not officially sponsored and 2) causing Russian casualties. But they do bear keeping a very close eye on because their very existence gives credence to the Russian propaganda about neo-nazis.According to some sources, it was the combat with the Azov regiment.
Not surprisingly, RF propaganda portrays Azov as "nazis".
