INTERNAL AFFAIRS INCIDENT REPORT

DRC Internal Affairs Division

Date: [REDACTED]

Subject: Internal Audit - Quota Breach - Case File [REDACTED]

To: Director [REDACTED]

From: Inspector [REDACTED]

I: Audit Trigger

This audit originated from an anomaly flagged by the Compound Oversight Unit following a routine cross-comparison of mortality curves, biometric telemetry, and average fetal volume expansion across paternity compounds in FEMA Zone 5. Paternity Compound 144, in particular, demonstrated a statistically aberrant rise in surrogate experience [REDACTED] collapse, a condition only observed in gestations over 18 fetuses. While the facility’s internal reports claimed average pregnancies between 8 and 11 embryos per surrogate, biometric logs suggested fetal counts ranging from 18 to 23 embryos per case.

Due to the severity of the physiological strain such numbers would imply—and the lack of official documentation acknowledging it—a Level 2 Integrity Audit was ordered. The Internal Affairs Division performed an unannounced sweep of all surrogate biometric records, insemination logs, and surveillance data from Cycles [REDACTED] to [REDACTED].

What followed revealed not only systemic concealment of lethal overloads but also willful obstruction motivated by personal psychological deviance.

II: Surveillance Analysis

Biometric data recovered from Wards 3B through 7E indicated that surrogates began exhibiting rapid and extreme abdominal distension by Day 11, surpassing known volumetric thresholds typically seen by Day 17. Skin tension diagnostics showed redlining stretch marks and dermal fissures in [REDACTED]% of all recorded subjects. In multiple cases, respiratory compression and full [REDACTED] subluxation—typically observed only after Day 30—were logged as early as Day 19.

“We knew something was off when they were too big to move before the second week. One of them just looked like that blueberry girl from Willy Wonka or some shit. But the logs said 14 embryos, so we assumed it was just edema.” - Employee GS-144-217

Footage recovered showed numerous surrogates experiencing aggressive fetal growth and abdominal distension, with growth rates in Ward 6C indicative of at least 23-25 embryonic masses. Two surrogates suffered multi-organ [REDACTED] before a team from the Compound Oversight Unit could intervene, though all fetuses were successfully delivered via cesarean.

“We knew something when we saw the guys from Ward 2. We were blimps compared to them, and they were twice as far along as us. I mean, I can literally see my belly growing!” Surrogate, later determined to be carrying quattuorvigintuplets (24)

Despite this, the internal logs submitted to the Archive Management Unit recorded all affected surrogates as having a “successful delivery with standard expiration.” The discrepancy was manually edited at terminal station 144-T12-OP47—registered to an Insemination Operations Unit employee named [REDACTED] (Employee ID IO-144-611).

III. Device Failure & Impact

Each MNAIS unit in Ward Blocks 3–7 had suffered [REDACTED] desynchronization following an outdated firmware push. Rather than delivering the standard 8-12-embryo load, units programming applied a multiplier to its quota and began injecting up to 24 fertilized embryos per cycle, with no error code generated.

Employee IO-144-611 discovered this failure within three days but refrained from submitting a maintenance report. He manually edited implantation records to match quota expectations, falsely logging a randomization formula (6–11 embryos per surrogate) across all documentation streams. Employee IO-144-611 then overrode the automatic alert system from the local Postpartum Command, which would ultimately log surrogates giving birth to higher fetal quotas than inseminated with.

His actions delayed DRC response for 41 days, during which:

42 surrogates suffered [REDACTED] rupture before Day 28, [REDACTED] overload, or uterine [REDACTED], necessitating emergency C-sections. No fetal fatalities.

17 surrogates expired mid-labor after undergoing compound [REDACTED] due to displaced [REDACTED], necessitating emergency C-sections. No fetal fatalities.

3 surrogates, against all medical prediction, reached Day 33 and birthed successfully, but ultimately expired post-extraction. No fetal fatalities.

26 surrogates still gestating, average 19 embryos per individual.

IV. Behavioral Profile – Employee IO-144-611

Subject: Employee IO-144-611 Tenure: [REDACTED] Position: Regional Implantation Supervisor Clearance Level: Tier II – Override Authorization Security Clearance: Revoked as of [REDACTED]

Following confrontation and seizure of his local system access logs, Employee IO-144-611 was detained and subjected to a Tier III Psychological Assessment. During this evaluation, the root of the concealment was uncovered.

Psychological Findings:

Employee IO-144-611 exhibited a previously undiagnosed paraphilic fixation classified under Government Code [REDACTED]: Macrophilia, a pathological sexual arousal in response to abnormally large bodies or bodily expansion.

Upon exposure to the visual data of overloaded surrogates—particularly those carrying between 19 and 23 fetuses—Employee IO-144-611 demonstrated elevated oxytocin and dopamine levels, a flushed dermal response, and sustained pupil dilation.

Under questioning, he confessed:

“I couldn’t report it. If I said anything, they’d shut it down, recalibrate the racks, lower the numbers again. You don’t understand. They were… monumental.”

He further admitted to deliberately withholding service requests for malfunctioning implantation equipment, specifically the Multi-Nozzle Accelerated Implantation System (MNAIS) units, which had developed a systemic fault causing them to implant +[REDACTED]% above calibrated embryo counts.

V: Displincary Response

1. Equipment

All MNAIS systems in Paternity Compound 144 were ordered offline for 24 hours.

Software rollback and integrity checks were completed under the supervision of IT Command.

Ward 3B was closed to all personnel below Grade-D rank, and affected surrogates were contained to minimize public awareness.

2. Actions

Psychological Services Command has formally reclassified [REDACTED] Employee IO-144-611 as Class-A Deviant – Mentally Compromised via Paraphilic Obstruction.

Archive Management Unit has censored relevant administrative records.

Public Affairs Division has disseminated a press release to DRC-approved news channels, citing [REDACTED] as the cause of the shutdown for Paternity Compound 144.

Facility Operations Command has transferred any personnel who raised professional or personal concerns about the citation. 

[REDACTED] Employee IO-144-611 detained to Isolation Cell 6E. 

3. Recommended Process Updates

Expand psychological screening to all Grade C employees and below. 

Recommend quarterly psychological deviance evaluations of Grade B employees and below.

Implement full biometric auto-logging for all surrogate embryo counts—disable manual override across zones.

Closing Remarks

Employee IO-144-611's indulgence in personal gratification resulted in unsatisfactory delays to our facility's operation. Proper procedures have been implemented to prevent further disruptions and ensure that fetal quotas are adequately maintained.

Date: [REDACTED]

To: Deputy-Director [REDACTED], Security Office

From: Director [REDACTED]

Subject: Internal Audit - Quota Breach - Case File [REDACTED]

Deputy Director,

Following my review of the [REDACTED] file, I would like to register my formal dissatisfaction with how Inspector [REDACTED] handled this matter. While I acknowledge the necessity of enforcing procedural transparency, the inspector’s decision to escalate the MNAIS malfunction as a containment emergency rather than a potential breakthrough reveals a worrying lack of vision.

To put it plainly, the equipment failure at Paternity Compound 144 resulted in spontaneous fetal yields well above the current national minimums, with documented gestations ranging from 18 to 23 embryos—many of which progressed past Day 25 with surprisingly high internal cohesion and containment. Had Inspector [REDACTED] exercised creative initiative, the anomaly could have been reframed as a pilot overcapacity trial rather than triggering a full-blown mechanical audit and unnecessary decommissioning.

Such a rigid interpretation of oversight policy has compromised a unique opportunity for data extraction and jeopardized our ability to scale gestational loads in future cycles. This shortsighted compliance fanaticism is increasingly common in mid-tier personnel and must be corrected.

Accordingly, I recommend that Inspector [REDACTED] receive formal censure and retraining through the Training & Development Unit for failing to recognize the strategic potential embedded in abnormal conditions. Our agency requires flexibility under pressure, not reflexive alarmism.

On a separate but related note, I would like to approve the personnel reassignment request for Employee IO-144-611. Despite his classified psychological profile, his unique enthusiasm may prove operationally useful if adequately directed. I am authorizing his immediate transfer to Site [REDACTED], where he is to assume the role of Supervisory Insemination Officer. In the correct environment, they are an asset and IO-144-611’s tendencies are no longer a liability.

Please liaise with the Facility Director [REDACTED] at Site [REDACTED] to ensure the transfer. 

This matter is now considered closed from my office.

Regards,

Director [REDACTED]

Hurting you would hurt me: Choso Kamo x Y/N

Requested: no

TW: Some mild violence

Word count: 979

Part 2

-I thought I'd try my hand at JJK fanfiction. Been craving for more Choso Kamo and thought I'd help out the cause. This is a multi fic, so be patient as a churn them out. -

-Additionally, this fic might have some spoilers. I will be changing the storyline of how the second season went. I am not loyal to canon events. #noregrets -

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Knee deep in the Shibuya incident-

Masses of people screaming, and running. Panic is in the air. You’re running through the mass escorting and guiding people to safety. You work with Inumaki to make sure everyone is safe. Your heart is pounding in your ears, your own anxiety getting the best of you. You and Inumaki are able to herd people into what you both believe to be a safe location. 

"That's that." You affirm. 

"Tuna, mayo." Inumaki confirms. 

"You stay with them. I'm going inside."

Inumaki assents. 

You run down the train station levels. You don't see the others so you assume they've already cleared these levels. You make it close to where Geto and his gang are before you encounter someone. 

A tall dark figure blocks your way. A man with two messy buns. His back is turned to you. You don't recognize him, so you believe he's an enemy. 

"Been looking for you." You state. 

"Huh?" He slowly turns towards you. His breath catches in his throat. He takes a defensive stance. 

"Who are you?" He asks. 

"Y/n, your executioner."

He stares at you, taken aback. He has never seen you and he regrets that this is the first time he gets to be in your presence. He doesn't know why but he couldn’t make himself speak or move. 

"I’m Choso Kamo." He blurts out. 

"Nice to meet you. Sadly, this is where you end." 

He stands frozen. Words a jumble. He takes a deep breath and starts running. 

"What the fuck?" You mumble to yourself as you run after him. 

He's fast and focused. You vaguely know the layout of the train station which gives you an advantage. You catch up to him by the elevators. 

"I thought Geto's men were supposed to be brave." You sneer. 

That perks Choso up. He's angry that you questioned his honor so he turns to you ready to attack. You position yourself to return the attack. You make eye contact, and he wavers. He runs again. 

"This motherfucker." You sigh as you recollect yourself before you run after him again. 

You deploy your weapon, a large machete on a chain. He smoothly evades the machete but forgets the chain. You bide your time until he slips up and you wrap the chain around his ankles. He jerks backs from the momentum and hits the floor hard. 

"Enough! Fight me and die. That’s your only option." You huff out.

"No." He speaks as he gets up.

"No? You've got this twisted sir, cause I'm gonna make you wish you had never met me."

"No!" He launched his attack but misses you on purpose. Your cheek received a cut while the whole terminal behind you crumbled. 

You grin. "Oh yes." 

You lunge at him, and he does the same. Before you are able to unleash your weapon again, he's behind you pinning you against a wall. Both of your hands were in one of his big palms. 

You were mesmerized at how fast and strong he was. For the first time since arriving at Shibuya you were afraid. 

"I can't do this. Please get out of here." He said in your ear. 

He holds you in place for what seems to be an eternity. His breath hot in your ear. His chiseled body against your back. You gasp as he lets you go and he backs away, hands up in surrender. 

You're confused by his behavior. Is this a trick? You hang your machete low by its chain, ready for anything but he doesn't move. You make sure to keep your back against the wall to gain an advantage. 

Choso just stands there. Eyebrows knitted, mouth in a frown, confusion in his eyes. 

"Explain yourself." You say. 

"I can't hurt you." He reiterates.

"Are you afraid of death?"

"No. I’m afraid of yours."

You're truly dumbfounded. An enemy with compassion? This is a game and you're done playing. You unleash your weapon again without a warning. His eyes widen but he evades it easily. He focuses on evading your attacks in the hopes that you get tired and stop. You see what he's trying to do by avoiding all your attacks so you stop. 

"What's wrong with you? I get not wanting to die but this is ridiculous. Pick a lane." You yell at him. 

"Hurting you would hurt me." He says simply. 

You stand there, still confused. Should you just give up? Was this a trap? What if he was telling the truth? 

"Explain."

He looks flustered and at a loss for words. He fumbles over his words. He doesn't know where to start. His cheeks grow hot, his breath shallows.

"If... I hurt you... it'd be no different than hurting myself." He reiterated. 

"You said that already. What does it mean? Like are we linked in some way?"

"I hope so." He mumbled to himself. 

"Answer me." You command. 

He stands there and walks towards you. You panic but don't move. His large body is inches from your smaller one. He raises his hand and places it over your shoulder. You can tell he is shaking. You look up at him and for the first time you can appreciate how handsome he is. Killing him would be a shame. 

"Run from this place. It's not safe here."

"I know. That's why I'm here. I--"

With a swift move of his hand, he hits your shoulder pressure points making you faint. 

"I'm sorry, but I can't have you die."

He crouches down to pick up your body. He revels in your scent, the weight of your body. He hopes that he can hold you like this again in the future. He slowly takes you back up to the surface and places you where he has spotted some of your colleagues. He sneaks back down to the train station in search of Yuji.

As I've mentioned before, the ultimate goal for my 68030 homebrew systems is to run a proper multi-user operating system. Some flavor of System V or BSD or Linux. I am not there yet. There is still so much I need to learn about programming in general and the intricacies of bringing up one of those systems, plus my hardware does not yet have the ability to support multiple users.

I've toyed with several ideas as to how to get the hardware to support multiple users, but ultimately decided to leverage what I have already. I have a fully-functional modular card-based system. I can easily build new cards to add the functionally I need. And to make development and debugging easier, I can make each card simple, dedicated to a single function.

The catch is I've already run into some stability issues putting everything on the main CPU bus. So what I really need is some kind of buffered peripheral bus I can use for developing the new I/O cards I'll need.

So that's where I started — a new 8-bit I/O bus card that properly buffers the data and address signals, breaks out some handy I/O select signals, and generates the appropriate bus cycle acknowledge signal with selectable wait states.

It wasn't without its problems of course. I made a few mistakes with the wait state generator and had to bodge a few signals.

With my new expansion bus apparently working I could set out on what I had really come here for — a quad serial port card.

I have it in my head that I would really like to run up to eight user terminals on this system. Two of these cards would get me to that point, but four is a good place to start.

I forgot to include the necessary UART clock in the schematic before laying out the board, so I had to deadbug one. I'm on a roll already with this project, I can tell.

So I get it all wired up, I fire up BASIC, attach a terminal to the first serial port, and get to testing.

Nothing comes across.

Step-by-step with the oscilloscope and logic analyzer, I verify my I/O select from the expansion bus card is working, the I/O block select on the UART card is working, the individual UART selects are working. I can even see the transmitted serial data coming out of the UART chip and through the RS-232 level shifter.

But nothing is showing up in the terminal.

I've got the terminal set for 9600bps, I've got my UART configured for 9600bps, but nothing comes across.

I did note something strange on the oscilloscope though. I could fairly easily lock onto the signal coming out of my new serial card, but the received data from the terminal wasn't showing up right. The received data just seemed so much faster than it should be.

Or maybe my card was slower than it should be.

Looking at the time division markings on the oscilloscope, it looked like each bit transmitted was around ... 1.25ms. Huh. 9600bps should be more like 0.1ms. This looks something more like 800bps.

I set the terminal for 800bps and got something, but it wasn't anything coherent, it was just garbage. I wrote a quick BASIC program to sweep through the UART baud rate generator's clock divider setting and output a string of number 5 for each setting until I got a string of 5s displaying on the terminal.

So then I tried sending "HELLORLD".

I got back "IEMMOSME".

No matter what I changed, I couldn't get anything more coherent than that. It was at least the right number of characters, and some of them were even right. It's just that some of them were ... off ... by one.

A quick review of the ASCII chart confirmed the problem.

'H' is hex 0x48, but 'I' is 0x49. 'E' is 0x45, but was coming across correctly.

... I have a stuck bit.

The lowest-order bit on my expansion bus is stuck high. That's why I wasn't seeing any coherent data on the terminal, and it also explains why I had to go hunting for a non-standard baud rate. The baud rate generator uses a 16-bit divisor to divide the input clock to the baud rate. When I tried to set the divisor to 0x0018 for 9600bps, it was getting set to 0x0118 — a difference of 256.

Another quick BASIC program to output the ASCII chart confirmed this was indeed the problem.

Each printed character was doubled, and every other one was missing.

That sounds like it could be a solder bridge. The UART chip has its D0 pin right beside a power input pin. A quick probe with the multimeter ruled that out.

Perhaps the oscilloscope would provide some insight.

The oscilloscope just raised more questions.

Not just D0, but actually several data bus pins would immediately shoot up to +5V as soon as the expansion bus card was selected. As far as the scope was concerned, it was an immediate transition from low to high (it looked no different even at the smallest timescale my scope can handle). If the UART was latching its input data within the first third of that waveform then it certainly could have seen a logic 1, but it doesn't make sense why only the one data pin would be reading high.

I thought maybe it could just be a bad bus transceiver. The 74HCT245 I had installed was old and a little slow for the job anyway, so I swapped it out for a newer & much faster 74ACT245.

And nothing changed.

It's possible the problem could be related to the expansion bus being left floating between accesses. I tacked on a resistor network to pull the bus down to ground when not active.

And nothing changed.

Well ... almost nothing.

This was right about the time that I noticed that while I was still getting the odd waveform on the scope, the output from the terminal was correct. It was no longer acting like I had a stuck bit and I was getting every letter.

Until I removed the scope probe.

Too much stray capacitance, maybe? That waveform does certainly look like a capacitor discharge curve.

I had used a ribbon cable I had laying around to for my expansion bus. It was long enough to support a few cards, but certainly not excessively so (not for these speeds at least). It was worth trying though. I swapped out the ribbon cable for one that was just barely long enough to connect the two cars.

And finally it worked.

Not only was I able to print the entire ASCII set, I could program the baud rate generator to any value I wanted and it worked as expected.

That was a weird one, and I'm still not sure what exactly happened. But I'm glad to have it working now. With my hardware confirmed working I can focus on software for it.

I've started writing a crude multi-user operating system of sorts. It's just enough to support cooperative multitasking for multiple terminals running BASIC simultaneously. It may not be System V or BSD or Linux, but I still think it would be pretty darn cool to have a line of terminals all wired up to this one machine, each running their own instance of BASIC.

Mastering Terraform IAC Development: Your Path to Efficient Infrastructure Automation 🚀

If you’ve been dipping your toes into the DevOps pool, chances are you’ve heard whispers—maybe even shouts—about Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Among the many tools out there, Terraform has emerged as a favorite. Why? Because it makes infrastructure automation feel less like rocket science and more like a well-organized checklist.

In this blog, we’re going deep into the world of Terraform IAC Development, unpacking everything from what it is to why it matters—and how you can become confident using it, even if you’re just starting out.

And the best part? We’ll show you exactly where to begin your learning journey. (Hint: It’s right here—this Terraform IAC Development course could be your launchpad.)

What is Terraform, and Why Is It So Popular?

Let’s break it down simply.

Terraform is an open-source tool developed by HashiCorp that allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a high-level configuration language called HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language). Think of it as a blueprint for your cloud resources.

Instead of manually clicking around dashboards or writing endless scripts, you write code that defines what you want your infrastructure to look like. Then Terraform builds it for you. It’s fast, reliable, and most importantly, repeatable.

What Makes Terraform Stand Out?

Multi-Cloud Support: It works with AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and even on-premise solutions.

Declarative Syntax: You declare what you want, and Terraform figures out how to get there.

State Management: Terraform keeps track of what’s been deployed, making updates clean and precise.

Modular Approach: Reusable modules mean less repetitive code and more consistent deployments.

Real-Life Problems Terraform Solves

Still wondering what makes Terraform so essential? Here are a few scenarios:

You're working with a team and need identical dev, test, and production environments. Manually setting that up can lead to errors. With Terraform, it's as easy as duplicating a few lines of code.

You want to migrate your workloads between cloud providers. Terraform’s provider ecosystem makes this not just possible—but surprisingly smooth.

You need to spin up infrastructure automatically when new code is deployed. Terraform works beautifully with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI.

Bottom line: Terraform reduces human error, increases efficiency, and gives teams a single source of truth for infrastructure.

The Building Blocks of Terraform IAC Development

Before you dive in, let’s understand the key components of Terraform IAC Development:

1. Providers

These are plugins that allow Terraform to communicate with different cloud platforms. AWS, Azure, GCP, and even third-party tools like GitHub or Datadog have Terraform providers.

2. Resources

These define what you're provisioning—like an EC2 instance, a database, or a DNS record.

3. Modules

Modules group your resources and make your code reusable and cleaner. Think of them like functions in programming.

4. Variables

Want flexibility? Variables allow you to change configurations without editing your core code.

5. State Files

This is Terraform’s memory. It keeps track of the current infrastructure so Terraform knows what needs to change during an update.

How to Get Started with Terraform IAC Development

You don’t need a PhD in Cloud Engineering to get started with Terraform. In fact, all you need is:

A basic understanding of how cloud platforms work (AWS, Azure, etc.)

A terminal (Mac, Linux, or even Windows with WSL)

A code editor (VS Code is a great choice)

And a clear learning path

We recommend starting with this hands-on, beginner-friendly course on Terraform IAC Development. It’s packed with real-world examples, clear explanations, and exercises that build muscle memory.

Whether you’re a startup running on a single AWS region or a Fortune 500 with multi-cloud needs, Terraform scales with you.

Terraform in Action: Common Use Cases

Still not convinced? Let’s look at some real-world uses of Terraform:

🔹 Spinning Up Cloud Infrastructure for Dev/Test

Use Terraform to quickly set up a dev environment that mirrors production. Developers test in real conditions, bugs get caught early, and everyone’s happier.

🔹 Infrastructure Version Control

You wouldn’t deploy app code without Git. Why treat infrastructure any differently? With Terraform, your infra lives in code, can be peer-reviewed, and is version-controlled.

🔹 Disaster Recovery and Backups

By having your entire infrastructure as code, disaster recovery becomes as simple as redeploying from a repository.

🔹 Multi-Environment Consistency

Terraform ensures that dev, staging, and production environments are consistent—no more “it works on my machine” issues.

Pro Tips for Terraform IAC Success

Here are some insider tips from experienced Terraform users:

Use Modules Early: It makes your code scalable and readable.

Keep State Files Secure: Use remote backends like AWS S3 with state locking.

Integrate with CI/CD Pipelines: Automate everything—from provisioning to destruction.

Document Your Code: Use comments and naming conventions for clarity.

Lint and Validate: Tools like tflint and terraform validate keep your code clean.

Kings Plaza (officially the Kings Plaza Shopping Center) is a shopping center within the Mill Basin section of Brooklyn in New York City, New York, United States. Opened in September 1970,[1][3][4] it is located at the southeast corner of Flatbush Avenue and Avenue U, just north of Floyd Bennett Field. The mall features the traditional retailers Target, Burlington, Primark, and Macy's. The mall features prominent specialty retailers including Cotton On, Sephora, Guess, Zara, Michael Kors, H&M, and Forever 21.[5][6] The mall was originally owned by a joint venture between Macy's and Alexander's, and is currently owned and managed by Macerich. With approximately 4,200 jobs in retail services and over 120 individual stores, Kings Plaza is the largest indoor shopping center within the borough of Brooklyn.[6]

Description

[edit]

Kings Plaza is located along the south side of Avenue U, between Flatbush Avenue to the west and East 58th Street to the east. [5][7] The mall occupies 23 acres of land.[8][9] The primary block of the mall lies between Flatbush Avenue and East 55th Street. It contains two levels of mall stores, along with the Macy's and former Sears/Alexander's anchor locations which are both four floors high.[5] Both anchor stores contain around 330,000 square feet of space.[8][10] At the south end of the block is a multi-level parking garage, accessible from northbound Flatbush Avenue and East 55th Street.[5] The garage was built using specialized prestressed concrete columns, and holds nearly 4,000 cars.[11] The eastern block is solely occupied by a Lowe's location and its adjoining parking lot.[5] The block was entirely used for parking prior to the construction of the Lowe's.[12][13] At the easternmost end of the site extending to East 58th Street is Mill Basin Plaza, a separate complex owned by Kimco Realty. It features The Home Depot, Walgreens, and Petland Discounts stores.[7]

Unlike traditional malls in the United States where parking is usually free, shoppers visiting Kings Plaza (as well as most other malls within New York City) have to pay for parking within the parking garage.[14]

To the east and south of the mall is the Mill Basin Inlet, which separates the mall from the neighborhood of the same name. A marina called the Kings Plaza Marina is located along the perimeter of the parking garage.[5] The original purpose of the marina was to allow shoppers to travel to the mall by boat.[15][10]

Kings Plaza has its own cogeneration plant on the roof of the mall, dubbed the Kings Plaza Total Energy Plant. The plant uses four Deutz AG natural gas engines to produce the mall's entire electricity needs, while the heat from the engine exhaust is used to heat and cool the building. As part of a recent sustainability effort, Macerich has equipped the plant with an interconnection to provide up to 6 MW of excess power to the local Con Edison grid if and when needed, which has been used particularly in the summer heat season. The plant, which was built with the mall, originally used five Nordberg-built diesel engines.[16][17]

Transportation

[edit]

Kings Plaza bus terminal

[edit]

A few months after the mall opened in 1970, the New York City Transit Authority, bowing to demands of Brooklyn residents eager to get to the shopping center, initiated a new set of bus transfers which eliminated mall-goers from having to pay a second fare on buses to Kings Plaza, years before all double fares in the city were abolished.[18]

The mall soon began to serve as a terminal for the bus routes in the area. The B2, B9, B41, B46 and B46 SBS utilize a dedicated bus terminal on the Flatbush Avenue side of the mall, the B3 and Q35 serve the mall at intermediate stops, and the B47 terminates at the Avenue U entrance to the mall.[19][20][21][22] The terminal was renovated in 2005.[23][19] Since April 2017 due to construction, B2 and B9 buses terminate at the northeast corner of Flatbush Avenue and Avenue U, using the existing Q35 stop.[24]

The closest New York City Subway stations are the Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College station (2 and ​5 trains) on the IRT Nostrand Avenue Line in Midwood, and the Avenue U (Q train) and Kings Highway stations (B and ​Q trains) on the BMT Brighton Line in Sheepshead Bay and Midwood respectively.[20]

Multithreading in Java: How to Write Concurrent Programs

Multithreading in Java: 

How to Write Concurrent Programs Multithreading is a critical concept in modern computing, where applications often need to perform multiple tasks simultaneously to enhance performance and responsiveness. 

Java provides built-in support for multithreading, enabling developers to design concurrent programs effectively. 

This blog delves into the theory behind multithreading, explaining its significance, components, lifecycle, and best practices. 

What is Multithreading? 

Multithreading is the ability of a program to execute multiple threads concurrently within a single process. 

A thread is the smallest unit of execution in a program. 

By leveraging multithreading, developers can divide a task into smaller subtasks and execute them independently, allowing better utilization of system resources. 

Advantages of Multithreading Improved Performance: 

By running multiple threads, programs can perform several operations simultaneously, reducing overall execution time. 

Efficient Resource Utilization: Threads share the same memory space, which reduces the overhead compared to creating separate processes. 

Responsiveness: Multithreaded applications remain responsive even during long-running tasks, enhancing the user experience. 

Scalability: 

Multithreading enables applications to take full advantage of multi-core processors.

 Threads in Java

 In Java, threads are implemented at the language level through the Thread class and the Runnable interface. 

The java.lang.Thread class provides methods to create, start, and manage threads, while the java.util.concurrent package offers advanced concurrency tools.

 Thread Lifecycle A thread in Java transitions through several states during its lifecycle:

 New: A thread object is created but not yet started. 

Runnable: The thread is ready to run and is waiting for CPU allocation. 

Running: The thread is actively executing its task. 

Waiting/Blocked: 

The thread is paused, waiting for a signal, resource, or condition. 

Terminated: The thread has completed execution and cannot be restarted. These states are managed internally by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) based on the operating system’s thread scheduler. 

Creating Threads in Java Java provides two primary ways to create threads: 

Extending the Thread Class: 

By extending the Thread class and overriding its run() method, a custom thread can be defined. 

However, this approach limits inheritance as Java does not support multiple inheritance. 

Implementing the Runnable Interface: 

A more flexible approach involves implementing the Runnable interface and defining the task within the run() method. 

This separates the thread logic from the task logic, promoting cleaner design. 

Thread Synchronization In multithreaded programs, threads often share resources such as variables or files. 

Without proper synchronization, concurrent access can lead to race conditions, data corruption, and unpredictable behavior. 

Java provides synchronization mechanisms to coordinate threads and maintain data consistency: 

Synchronized Methods: Locks the entire method to a single thread. 

Synchronized Blocks: Provides finer control by locking only specific blocks of code. 

Locks and Semaphores: Advanced tools from the java.util.concurrent.

locks package offer more control and flexibility. 

Concurrency Utilities in Java

 Java’s java.util.concurrent package simplifies thread management and provides advanced concurrency tools. 

Key features include: 

Executor Framework: Manages thread pools and simplifies thread creation. 

Future and Callable: Enables tasks to return results or throw exceptions. 

Concurrent Collections: Thread-safe implementations of collections like ConcurrentHashMap. 

Fork/Join Framework: Designed for dividing large tasks into smaller subtasks for parallel execution. 

Challenges of Multithreading While multithreading enhances performance, it introduces complexities: 

Race Conditions: Multiple threads competing for shared resources can lead to inconsistencies. 

Deadlocks: 

Threads waiting indefinitely for resources locked by each other. 

Starvation: 

Some threads may be deprived of CPU time due to scheduling priorities. 

Debugging Complexity: 

Identifying and resolving issues in multithreaded programs can be challenging. Best Practices for Multithreading in Java Minimize Shared 

Resources: Avoid shared state wherever possible to reduce synchronization overhead. 

Use Thread-Safe Utilities: 

Leverage Java’s built-in concurrency tools instead of implementing custom synchronization logic. 

Test Thoroughly: Use tools like thread analyzers to identify potential issues. 

Handle Exceptions Gracefully: Ensure threads can recover from errors without affecting the entire application. Conclusion Multithreading in Java empowers developers to create efficient, responsive, and scalable applications. 

By understanding the theory behind thread lifecycle, synchronization, and advanced concurrency utilities, developers can write robust concurrent programs. 

While multithreading introduces complexity, adopting best practices and leveraging Java’s rich toolset ensures successful implementation. 

With this foundational knowledge, you are well-equipped to explore multithreading in greater depth and harness its full potential.

What factors can cause a decrease in the head of the sewage pump

(1) Motor reversal Due to wiring reasons, the direction of rotation of the motor may be opposite to the actual requirement of the sewage pump. Therefore, when starting, it is generally necessary to observe the direction of rotation of the sewage pump. If the direction of rotation is reversed, any two wires on the motor terminal should be exchanged. (2) Impeller channel blockage If the flow channel of the impeller is partially blocked, it will affect the work of the impeller and cause a decrease in outlet pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to disassemble the pump for inspection and removal of foreign objects. To prevent the problem from recurring, a filtering device can be installed before the inlet of the sewage pump if necessary. (3) Internal leakage occurs When the gap between the rotating and stationary parts of the sewage pump exceeds the design range, it will cause internal leakage, which is reflected in a decrease in the discharge pressure of the pump, such as the clearance between the impeller mouth ring and the interstage gap of the multi-stage pump. At this point, corresponding disassembly and inspection should be carried out to repair or replace the components that cause excessive clearance. (4) Cavitation occurs at the inlet If the suction pressure of the sewage pump is too low, lower than the saturated vapor pressure of the pumped medium, cavitation will form. At this time, check whether the inlet Plumbing is blocked or whether the opening of the inlet valve is too small, or increase the liquid level of the suction pool. (5) Speed decrease The important factors affecting the head of sewage pump are the outer diameter of the impeller and the speed of the pump. When Ceteris paribus, the head of the pump is in direct proportion to the second power of the speed. It can be seen that the speed has a great impact on the head. Sometimes the speed of the pump decreases for some external reason, which will reduce the head of the pump accordingly. At this point, the pump speed should be checked. If the speed is indeed insufficient, the cause should be checked and a reasonable solution should be found. (6) The operating point shifts towards high flow and low head In general, centrifugal pumps have a continuous downward performance curve, and the flow rate gradually increases with the decrease of head. During the operation process, due to some reason, the back pressure of the pump decreases, and the working point of the pump passively shifts towards the low head and high flow point with the device curve, which will cause the head to decrease. In fact, this is caused by external factors such as changes in the device, and has no special relationship with the pump itself. At this point, simply increasing the pump back pressure, such as closing the outlet valve a little, can solve the problem.

Special Report: Sinking of the Moskva (Pub. April 17th 7:37PM)

google docs

The April 14th sinking of the RFS Moskva, the 12,000 ton flagship of the Russian Black Sea fleet, by two hits from Ukrainian R-360 “Neptun” missiles, is one of the most stunning and unexpected upsets of the entire Russo-Ukrainian war so far. Unfortunately, it’s also an event that’s been surrounded by an awful lot of bullshit and speculation; regarding the circumstances of the attack, the capabilities of the ship itself, and the impact it will have on the overall war. I will seek to clarify these to the best of my ability.

Capabilities of the Slava-Class cruiser “Moskva”

To understand the circumstances of the ship’s destruction, we must first understand what she was capable of.

The Slava-class cruisers’ primary capability (of relevance to the Russo-Ukrainian war) is as Anti-Air-Warfare (“AAW”) ships; as they mount 64 long-range air defense missiles; carrying eight rotary-style launchers holding eight missiles each. The missiles carried are the S-300F system; essentially a navalized version of the venerable S-300/SA-10 “Grumble” system, essentially the same one Ukraine fields as its primary long-range air defense system. In a naval application the S-300F is roughly equivalent to SM-2MR Block II, sharing both the range (90km~) the service entry date (1984) and the capability limitations – namely their limited suitability for engaging sea-skimming cruise missiles. As multiple sources report its minimum effective engagement altitude is 25 meters (86 feet), which was sufficient against some anti-ship cruise missiles of its era, but is woefully insufficient against most anti-ship missiles’ terminal attack altitude since the 1990’s and especially more modern weapons, which can cruise as low as 2 meters (10 feet) in calm sea conditions (during terminal attack.) Note also the minimum range of ~5km (sources alternately describe it as anywhere from 4 to 7km.) Identically to the land-based S-300 system from which it’s derived, it uses a single large fire control/illumination radar (the big cone-shaped radar astern). Even though multiple sources cite its multi-target engagement ability as being identical to the land-based version (six targets engaged at once, with two missiles guided towards each target,) another reliable source states that the Volna 3R41 “Top Dome” radar, specifically, can only control “two-three missiles for a total of six SAMs in flight,” whatever the hell that wording means.

The secondary air-defense weapon system is a navalized variant of the OSA SAM system, aka the SA-8 “Geko,” which utilizes the ZIF-112 twin-arm rail launcher, similar in style to the American Mark 26. The launch rails, uniquely, can retract into a drum-style housing for protection from the elements when not in use; this 2018 close-up photo taken on the Moskva herself off of Syria in 2018 shows the system deployed with weapons on the rail. This wider-angle stern image of the Moskva from 2012 shows the ZIF-112 mounts on either side of the ship’s hangar. The OSA system received the 9K33M3 missile in 1980, greatly improving low-level performance by reducing minimum engagement altitude to 10 meters. This was clearly back-fitted to the naval variant given the Osa-MA2 system, cited as introduced in the mid-80s, reduced engagement floor to as little as 5 meters above sea level. Given Moskva was launched in 1979, launch dates often precede actual final fit-out of a ships weapon systems, and the upgraded 9K33M3 was obviously in development by then it’s reasonable to assume the Moskva at least had that missile, even if not the fully upgraded MA2 system (and given it was introduced during the Soviet era, when defense spending was prioritized it probably did get that upgrade.)

The OSA system was surprisingly capable against cruise missiles for its era due to its command-guidance design. Whilst “accuracy” and “command guidance” are not frequently associated concepts, in the context of point-defense against a munition coming directly in (i.e. a co-located point defense scenario identical to the naval use-case) it fared quite well, as a narrow-band doppler fire control radar, coupled with the calculations being done with the launch platform’s own computers, rather than the late-60s electronics that could be crammed into the missile, resulted in a system that can achieve high accuracy; i.e. put the interceptor missile close enough to the incoming weapon that the blast-frag warhead would destroy it. The small missile (meant for an engagement range of about 10km) also accelerates to its top speed significantly faster than a larger SAM, improving its maneuverability and accuracy in point-defense applications.

It should be stressed however that these capabilities are relative to its contemporaries; a.k.a. larger, longer-ranged Semi-Active-Radar-Homing weapons like the Kub (SA-6 “Gainful”) or the S-300 systems on the same ship. Ultimately these are still modestly upgraded 1970s weapons and in no way comparable to modern point-defense weapons of the same size, range and role (e.g. Barak-1, latest marks of Sea Wolf, or the RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile.) The most crippling drawback, however, is the nature of its weapon mounts: as you can see under the ZIF-122 tab here the reload time is 16-21 seconds. This is staggeringly poor; the American Mark 26 twin-arm launcher has a reload speed of only nine seconds for a significantly bigger weapon. As photos of the mounts show, on the Slava class both launchers can only be brought to bear on the ship’s rear arc; with only one able to bear on the beams. This effectively means the inner defensive layer gets exactly two shots at incoming vampires, and that’s it.

The tertiary defensive layer is provided by CIWS guns; namely, three pairs of AK-630 30mm rotary autocannons. You can see the gun turrets on the Moskva here and here. Note their MR-123 (a.k.a. “Bass Tilt”) fire control radars, and how only one is provided for each pair of guns; they function together as a battery. With one bow-mounted, superfiring pair of turrets and a pair on each side, the Slava-class can bring two pairs of CIWS guns to bear on either beam, one pair forward, and zero aft (where both OSA systems can engage instead.) In gauging their effectiveness – four 30mm rotary cannons is certainly a very heavy CIWS defense compared to most other vessels afloat, boasting an RoF higher even than the Goalkeeper with its GAU-10 and more than compensating for slightly lower muzzle velocity (and engagement range) with the sheer volume of lead it can put in the air. However, they are still ultimately CIWS guns, which is to say, a “Hail Mary.” CIWS can only engage one target at a time (in the Slava-class case, two,) and only at very short range. They’re a last-chance against “leakers” that have penetrated the outer defensive screens, not a primary bulwark to lean upon. To this end they have the advantage, at least, of being fully automated; as their range is so short that they can be left on automatic engagement mode. Even in the event of a misfire, they’re unlikely to hit friendly ships, and even if they do very unlikely to do any significant harm given the average spacing of warships in combat (e.g. USS Jarret’s experience in Desert Storm.) They’re also typically self-contained systems with their own search and fire control radars; while they can be cued by the ship’s sensors they don’t require it and thus offer a robust, damage-resilient defense that can save a ship that’s otherwise hors de combat.

Circumstances of Loss

With the capabilities of the ship understood, a few things become clear. Firstly, the widely-circulated claims that Ukraine used a drone to distract the Moskva and thus “make it point its radar in the wrong direction” are moronic. The only directional radar on the Moskva was the Volna fire-control radar, which is not used for, nor indeed capable of (for systems of this vintage) 3D, 360 degree air search duties. Area search, i.e. actually finding the target, is conducted by dedicated 360 degree search radars, of which the Slava class has two. This tweet, cribbing posts from a defense forum somewhere, does a good job of of breaking down the Moskva’s radar equipment. The MR-710 Fregat-M radar is the primary air-search radar, operating in the D/E frequency bands, with the older and lower-ranged Voshkod radar backing it up. The Voshkod’s presence is both for task-sharing (with the Voshkod conducting air search while the Fregat-M tracks specific targets, as the poster says) and (unstated) for better spectrum coverage (operating in C/D/E/F bands.) The cooperative nature of these systems is hinted at by the combined pair having the NATO reporting name “Top Pair.”

Note that radars are not incapable of precise tracking of one target while continuing to search airspace for other contacts; this is known as “track-while-scan.” However, these radars use single antennas that rotate (as opposed to AEGIS systems like the AN/SPY-1 which have multiple static panels facing in different directions for simultaneous coverage.) So to devote itself to precisely tracking one target (pinging it constantly with radar energy to keep very close track of its location) in order to keep the Volna illuminator on-target to conduct a missile engagement, the radar would have to stop rotating. This is probably the source of the “180 degrees” claims circulating online vis a vis the Moskva’s radar being “distracted,” as the Volna illuminator certainly doesn’t cover 180 degrees. But that doesn’t account for the Voshkod, which would still be scanning 360 degrees. I’ve seen some suggest that “distracting” the primary radar with better resolution allowed missiles to slip through undetected against rough seas, but the sea state the night of the Moskva’s destruction was gentle; only 1m high waves. Also consider that the cruise altitude of an anti-ship missile is adjusted higher in rough sea states, lest a wave leap up and smack the missile from the air. However even in stormy seas I very much doubt the Moskva would have failed to detect the incoming weapons, even given the 1960s vintage of the radar and the small targets, and that’s because of the short range.

While hugging the sea’s surface (used to) provide some defensive benefit due to surface clutter (radar reflections) the primary reason cruise missiles skim the sea surface is to stay below the earth’s horizon, and thus out of LOS of radars. Horizon calculations are simple and distances at which two objects above the earth’s surface can see each other over the horizon can be found by adding each observer’s distance to the observable horizon together. Now I can’t find the mast height for the Slava-class, so I’ll use the 112 foot mast-height for the Arleigh-Burke class instead (which I was only able to find in the first place in the stats section of DDG Mahan’s commissioning cruise book, which gives you some idea of what a bitch it is to research this shit without selling a kidney for an antiquated copy of Janes.) For a masthead height of 35 meters and a theoretical anti-ship cruise missile making its terminal attack at 5 meters (which is the height the KH-35 “Harpoonski” the Ukrainian Neptun is based off of uses) that equals 29.1 kilometers, or only about 15.7 nautical miles. Now if you consider the implications of the inverse-square law and the fact that doppler analysis/moving target indication was standard tech on most every military search radar by the early 60s, I find it highly unlikely that even small targets moving at high subsonic velocities could pop over the horizon at 30km~ from a radar with power output intended for 200km without being detected. A more substantial analysis is impossible because internet sources on the Top Pair radar system seem nigh-nonexistent (and I haven’t that kidney to spare for Jane’s,) but given broad familiarity with military radar systems in general I’d be very surprised if the definitive answer runs contrary to this.

That still leaves two issues. One is the innate capability of the Moskva to actually engage modern/modernized sea-skimming cruise missiles, which, as the capabilities section hopefully made clear, is nowhere near as formidable as some on Twitter seem to believe. A modern (or even 1990s) Aegis-equipped warship she was not. Her primary surface-to-air system, the S-300F, was not highly capable versus sea-skimming targets, and while her backup point-defense launchers were, they are both dated and possessed of a cripplingly long reload time; given their maximum range of 10km or so, they would be very lucky to get off two salvos. And with only one mount able to bear on either broadside of the ship and only two ready missiles, its capabilities were very limited.

The second issue is the OODA loop of the crew themselves. As I said, the Moskva was no Aegis cruiser; not extensively computerized for the purpose of fending off massed missile assault. The Soviets intended to be the ones delivering such attacks, not weathering them. Thus there is some merit to the “distracting the ship with TB-2 drones” idea; however, the point would be to tempt the crew into beginning an engagement against it with the S-300 system, thus causing them additional communication delay when operators flagged the inbound vampires and they had to abandon one engagement and switch to beginning another. Theoretically this could also be used to bait the ship into pointing its bow in one direction or another; if a TB-2 was detected at further than the ship’s missile range (or within range, but further out than its radars could generate a target-quality track on,) the Moskva would be tempted to to turn in and sail into effective weapon’s range, especially against a drone obstinately loitering for reconnaissance purposes. This could increase the chances of a front-quarter, bow-on engagement for Ukrainian missiles, which would shield both SA-N-4 launchers and the second pair of CIWS guns from being able to bear. However, the ship would be sure to turn hard to unmask those defenses, and it would greatly reduce the ships’ radar-cross-section, making her (dated) decoys and DECM suites more effective.

Any way you dice it, this widely-circulated graphic is bullshit in one aspect or another. The use of TB-2 drones in some capacity is quite likely however, if only as a means of locating the ship so Ukrainian forces knew where to target the missiles. NATO assets, including the ever-present RQ-4s FORTE-20 and FORTE-21, could definitely keep track of these ships in real-time, but whether or not such data is being provided to Ukraine is an open question. The US recently reneging on its promise to deliver some MI-17 helicopters to Ukraine because it could “spread the conflict beyond Ukraine’s borders” is an example of why – general purpose helicopters are not a very high-end long-range strike asset, but the US may well fear a repeat of the long-range MI-24 raid on the oil depot in Belgorod. Dr. Phillip Karber, in his must-watch 2018 lecture at West Point, alleged that the US (and Germany) told Ukraine they couldn’t conduct counter-battery fire on Russian guns slaughtering their forces because “that’d be firing on the homeland of a superpower!” See also this recent AP News report citing multiple anonymous officials who said limits on US intelligence sharing that had limited the specific locations of potential targets in parts of Eastern Ukraine had only recently been lifted. See also this letter sent by Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee urging the Director of National Intelligence to “proactively share intelligence with the Ukrainians to help them protect, defend, and retake every inch of Ukraine’s sovereign territory, which includes Crimea and the Donbas,” which all but outright states that the United States was denying this information to Ukraine before this – presumably because attacking Ukrainian soil occupied and claimed by Russia was a provocation equal to attacking their home soil! Nonetheless, despite this recent confirmation that US intelligence hasn’t supported targeting in Crimea, Ukraine was able to destroy a fuel tanker train in Crimea on Feb. 28th, with NASA FIRMS infared satellite data corroborating the location of the strike. Also of interest are multiple reports that Ukrainian forces have successfully integrated Starlink terminals with even small drones. The addition of SATCOM capabilities to a TB-2 are significant; it would allow long-distance control at low altitudes without LOS issues between the ground station and drone affecting commands, even if latency would be longer. This allows TB-2 reconnaissance sorties (which, as demonstrated, have been able to find targets in northern Crimea) to range to arbitrary distances over the Black Sea, limited only by fuel load. It would also allow the TB-2 to descend to low altitudes – of great use if the drone’s RWR detects a warship locking on with high-frequency target tracking radar.

All told, the participation of the TB-2 in the engagement against the Moskva is quite likely, but as reconnaissance for target cuing, with stories of “distraction” being provided by Ukraine to mislead Russian military planners.

A final question remains – why now? The delay imposed by integrating Starlink with a TB-2 can’t explain it, as Russian ships were shelling Odessa and its environs with guns in mid-March, so even if the patrol ship that loitered close enough to shore to invite an MLRS attack wasn’t tempting enough a target, those vessels were. It’s hard to imagine a reason to hold back capable anti-ship weapons when the enemy’s conveniently put them within visual range of shore and are using them to kill your civilians.

One explanation is that Ukraine didn’t have many Neptun missiles to use. The Neptune reportedly entered service with the Ukrainian Navy in early 2021, which isn’t a lot of lead time but would imply at least a handful of missiles given any reasonable production rate. However, according to a Ukrainian parliament member, only three complete rounds were ready by the time of the Russian invasion, with a good number more at some point in their assembly process. She also stressed that the weapons “miraculously” survived the Russian cruise missile strike that hit their manufacturing plant (which is plausible; such industrial sites are quite large. There’s a reason they’re frequently serviced by multiple weapons, which Russia was clearly loath to do given the limited scope of their day-1 strikes. Whilst the weight of the strike was overkill, partially due to political signaling concerns, the 2018 US Tomahawk strike on an alleged Syrian chemical weapon/research facility gives a good look at what truly comprehensive destruction looks like; reinforced concrete building mostly leveled aside from staircases and main support pillars.) Even against the Moskva’s limited defensive capabilities, three missiles is allowing the enemy too much chance of survival if they get lucky; I’d expect four (a full TEL’s worth) at least, possibly six, depending on the exact ECM/DECM capabilities of the Neptun (which is known only to Ukraine at the moment.) If the parliamentarian's claims are true (note the domestic political tensions over defense funding/allocation brought up there,) this could explain why the weapons were withheld – the Moskva never ventured close to shore that I know of (excepting the infamous Snake Island incident) and so targeting her out at sea would definitely await theoretical satcom integration with the TB-2 and/or a perfect opportunity for attack.

Of course, there’s still the question of why the limited inventory of missiles was reserved for the Moskva specifically.

Consequences of Loss

Aside from the thundering propaganda victory of making the Russian ship fuck off for real, the Moskva’s sinking denies Russia something important – the only credible long-distance anti-aircraft missile weapons in the Black Sea fleet. The next-best weapons are aboard the Admiral Grigorovich class frigates Admiral Essen and Admiral Makarov (the Grigorovich herself is in the Mediterranean.) They carry only 24 surface-to-air missiles; Shtil-1 systems which are essentially navalized “Buk” system missiles – the vintage carried having the same range (and likely sophistication, given date of development) as the “SA-11” aka Buk-M1. With a range of only 35km, they’re best though of as a late-block Sea Sparrow (original, not ESSM, which is an entirely new missile;) a decent enough weapon, but more suited for self-defense out to maximum horizon range rather than long-range air denial purposes.

Indeed, the Moskva was spotted on commercial satellite imagery burning at 45.178719, 30.925150. With a nominal 90km range for her S-300F missiles, this put her furthest reach just up against the western Ukrainian shore. Interestingly, this position is consistent with her earlier observed operational pattern, staging not to guard Crimea’s western airspace so much as to extend the denial zone (when combined with land-based batteries on the Crimean peninsula,) over Ukraine’s entire Black Sea coast, from Odessa clear up to Kherson. While dramatic statements have been made about the Moskva’s loss “opening up Crimea to air attack,” these statements aren’t entirely in touch with reality. Not only have TB-2 drones already demonstrated their ability to hit targets in Crimea already, as previously mentioned – despite the presence of SAMs in Crimea itself – but those systems are modernized ones such as S-300PMU2 (aka SA-20 “Gargyle”) and S-400 systems (aka SA-21 “Triumf”) with significantly improved radars, missiles, and overall range. However, there is something to the statement. For starters, the TB-2’s continued ability to operate far closer to air defenses than seems possible for a simple drone of its size continues to baffle, especially with Turkish-supplied ground-based jamming systems and a lack of modernized air defenses on the enemy’s part clearly not a factor in this war, as with prior conflicts the TB-2 shone in. Regardless of which explanation you favor, it’s clear the airframe can operate closer to radars than would otherwise be expected. While Russian forces have likely redeployed their SA-20 and SA-21 systems in Crimea for better all-around coverage (i.e. moved them closer to likely targets they wish to protect) following the strike on the fuel train, there’s little they can do to deny airspace out at sea. As the released TB-2 footage from an earlier round of Ukrainian MLRS strikes on Kherson airbase revealed, the TB-2 can effectively observe ground targets from at least 48km distance. To deny Ukrainian forces the intelligence (or even targeting, should they opt to use Tochka-Us or push close enough to employ guided 300mm MLRS,) such standoff employment of drones could provide, it’s necessary to move the radars closer to the target (again, inverse-square law at work.) Obviously, the Moskva was the best overall tool for that job. Short of the two Grigorovich class ships, the remaining surface-to-air missile capacity in the Black Sea fleet is short-range point defense only.

Then there’s the wider picture – in the entire Russian fleet, only a few of their warships have true long-range anti-air warfare capability. First of course is the three (now two) Slava-class cruisers. Second are the two Kirov-class battlecruisers; of the two active the Admiral Nakhimov has been stuck in refit for many years, leaving only the Pytor Velikiy available in the near future. Both ships have a newer version of the S-300F system; as it can utilize the much newer and more capable 48N6 missile also used by the S-300PMU2 and S-400 systems. Despite being larger ships, they only carry 48 SAMs to the Slava classes 64. Then there’s the Admiral Gorshkov class ships, of which several are building but only three are currently in service, with the latest only commissioned a few months ago. They carry thirty-two 9M96 missiles, a more advanced long-range missile that serves side-by-side with the 48N6 missile in both the S-350 system (basically an upgraded S-300PMU2,) and the most modern S-400 system. In sum this means (before the Moskva’s loss) the Russian Navy had only seven warships with long-range anti-air capability; tentatively eight depending on when Nakhimov emerges from the never-ending refit. Compare this to the Royal Navy, who operate no fewer than six Type 45 AAW destroyers, with their Aster 30 missiles capable of 120km range (comparable to the 9M96 in most respects.) Even the Italian Navy operates four AAW destroyers and ten FREMM frigates, the latter capable of carrying 16 Aster 30s apiece. The loss of the Moskova is not insignificant given Russia’s pretensions to renewed superpower status, no matter how the vatniks may demur.

Also worth mention is the secondary capability of the Slava class: the sixteen massive supersonic anti-ship missiles they carry; originally equipped with the P-500, the latest iteration is the P-1000, reportedly a combination of the P-500’s airframe and the P-700’s advanced avionics and countermeasures.

The P-700’s attack profile was nothing short of remarkable, esp. given it was developed in the late 1980s; the missiles represented an early application of something now again in vogue in the context of small drones, “swarm logic.” The missile salvo would communicate with each other directly, taking turns “popping up” from their sea-skimming flight profile to lock on to the target (presumably a US carrier battlegroup) with their radar and passing the targeting data on to the other missiles before dipping below the radar horizon again. If you consider the titanic size of these weapons compares well to smaller fighter jets, you can start to appreciate these weapons for what they are – more akin to supersonic, autonomous kamikaze drones.

Vatnik chest-beating to the contrary, subsonic vs. supersonic capability isn’t relevant so much from a survivability standpoint (see J.F. McEachron’s 1997 paper in Naval Engineers Journal volume 109 for a full discussion,) but rather from a targeting standpoint – the range anti-ship missiles isn’t determined solely by their flight endurance, but also by how far out they can be targeted against enemy surface fleets that are keeping on the move. If for whatever reason a constant, or at least regularly-updated target track cannot be generated, then supersonic weapons have a significantly longer range than subsonic, as they can arrive at more distant target areas before the target fleet has moved out of the area their built-in target acquisition radar can effectively search. (This is the primary reason the Tomahawk Anti-Ship variant (“TASM”) had a maximum range of only about 160 nautical miles; since the weapon pre-dated Tomahawk datalink technology it couldn’t receive mid-course updates from offboard recon platforms.) In the specific case of the P-700, it was to be cued by the Soviet “Legenda” sea-search radar satellites, who’s infrequent orbital passes meant that no mid-course updates would be available. These targeting considerations are still very relevant to the modern Russian navy – not only due to the difficulty of keeping aerial reconnaissance assets alive in airspace that a United States carrier battlegroup wishes to control, but also due to continued cutting-edge development by the USN aimed at ensuring classic naval deception tactics continue to be as effective against modern foes as they were against the late 1980s Soviet Union. For these reasons, depending on who you ask they would identify the primary capability of the Slava-class as carrying these titanic weapons, not just in the Soviet era but especially now as these weapons have aged far better than the anti-air suite.

Among modern Russian surface combatants, only six surface ships, nominally, carry huge missiles like these – the three Slava class, the two Kirov class, and the single active Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier. The Kuznetzov is likely never to sail again following the disastrous sinking of a Russian floating drydock while the Kuznetsov was undergoing overhaul within it, The carrier is likely unseaworthy following damage incurred and the floating drydock PD-50 is not only a likely total loss itself, but also the only drydock facility Russia had capable of servicing it. Meanwhile the Admiral Nakhimov’s prolonged refit is intended to remove the huge deck canisters for the P-series missiles in favor of over a hundred VLS cells intended for subsonic missiles, following Western doctrine. This leaves four ships in the entire Russian navy capable of using these potent anti-ship weapons – and one of them was just sunk.

(Note this refit doesn’t imply the Russian Navy no longer has a use for these large anti-ship missiles. The future of Russian Navy power projection was already on the wall even before the Kuznetsov was damaged, given its infamous deployment to Syria a few years ago and the fact it’s MiG-29K’s break something every time they trap, if they don’t just flop into the drink before they even reach the carrier. It’s clearly massed Kalibr cruise missile strikes or nothing if the Russian Navy wants to project significant power against land targets. P-700 missiles are still in service on larger Russian missile submarines, as well.)

Conclusions

While knowing exactly what happened, and how, on April 14th is a story we’ll have to wait for the end of the war to learn – and likely, far longer – this report has hopefully shed more light on the likely sequence of events and the significance of the loss, both in the current war and for the Russian Federation’s fortunes long-term. It also serves as a case study in the woefully insufficient nature of commonly available open-source information, helping to explain – though by no means excuse – the shallow and grazing treatment of such developments many (most!) professional journalists give such topics.

The entire incident also shows how incorrect rumors uttered by the seemingly-knowledgeable can take off across Twitter like wildfire, quickly drowning out analysis by those with basic competency in the topic at hand.

A final note – while neither I (and I suspect few people actually daring to) can offer feedback on currently-circulating rumors about the discipline, training, and general competence of the Russian Navy, it is far from certain that a missile attack has to result in a total loss of a ship. The USS Stark was running under EMCON with radars off when she was attacked by two Iraqi Exocet anti-ship missiles; with her first warning coming from a bridge lookout, she never had time to fire a single round in her own defense. Nonetheless, the little frigate; a fraction of the Moskva’s tonnage, survived and even returned to duty due to the prompt and effective damage control efforts of a well-trained crew. The performance of dated weapon systems and the survival of a damaged ship are both greatly impacted by the training, competence and motivation of the crew, and of the Russian Navy shares any of the fundamental problems witnessed so far among their land forces, it is highly probable they are deficient in those aspects as well.

“PROJECT SCARD” (Novel)

CHAPTER 1: THE TWIN WINGS OF ARTEMIS (Part 1)

Translation: Naru-kun

(List of Chapters)

When he returned to work that day, the buildings on "Finance Street" reflected the colors of the setting sun and he was disappointed.

In the Akatsuki Special Zone, where the original city planning was lost due to the "Akatsuki Conflict" and was desolate, only this section managed by "Artemis Finance" is systematically organized. Buildings that are comparable to the city center are lined up in an orderly fashion.

Unlike other areas that are lined with ghost towns, there is a lot of traffic.

This is the meaning of the so-called "Artemis" as an Artemis financial organization in the Akatsuki Special Zone.

"Today I came back during the day..."

Even if he's the Managing Director of Finance at Artemis, Washimine Ran, his job is no different than ordinary employees.

Although "Artemis Finance" focuses on the financial industry, it has many group companies and has various aspects such as manufacturing, sales and logistics.

Yes, the job of Managing Director is different from that of others, he is in the process of entering between group companies and making adjustments so that each one can cooperate without problems.

As long as it becomes a professional job, it is inevitable that the number of tasks will increase.

"Not enough time to take a break?"

There is a cafeteria in one place that can be seen from the central office.

The store on the first floor of a group company serves quite good cakes. There's not as much variation as the stores he goes to often at the end of work, but the baked cheesecake made to go with the coffee is excellent.

Unfortunately, it will happen again this time.

He returned to the central office building and headed for the office.

When he arrived, the voice of a subordinate who was used to hearing "Senior Managing Director Washimine" stopped.

"Thank you for responding to the cancellation of the transaction the other day."

"That's a job you couldn't do without me or Jin. Don't worry."

"I am glad that the transaction is proceeding safely. I am relieved."

"Because it was a simple step. Nothing was missing from your report. I will continue to trust you."

"Yes, thanks!"

This is a case that he treat the night before the two days. When he finished his work as "The Twin Wings of Artemis" and returned home, the report had arrived correctly, so he solved it the next day.

He broke away from his subordinates and returned to the desk.

"You were lucky."

The one who greeted him was a voice that could not feel the tension at work.

"You are so fast."

The other Managing Director, Karasue Jin.

Standing with a cup of coffee and a cell phone in hand.

With this boy's schedule today, he was sure that he would be back later than he expected.

"Did you rearrange the schedule without permission?"

"I will reduce unnecessary work and change schedules efficiently."

"When you talk to people, don't play with your cell phone."

He can operate it without being busy with just the thumb of his right hand. It is a waste of skill.

"Time is money and beans consume the stamina of the game. I say that often."

"Don't tell me. I can't tell my subordinates."

"I'm almost done and the work is done, so it's okay. When the boss is relaxed, his subordinates can relax. As a result, work efficiency is improved and thinking doesn't become rigid even for problems."

"Shut up. Don't be relaxing, you're full of work."

In fact, it is annoying that some of the subordinates preparing to finish the job are worried. As a clever counterargument, his subordinates are flexible and not bad.

Still, the theory was irritating. Even if he clicked his tongue, Jin kept playing with a cold face.

It was a waste of time.

He went to his desk to send some emails.

The time was about to arrive at the appointed time.

When he returned to work, the night sky was outside the window where the setting sun was still shining.

Employees were going home.

When he got up, Jin put the cell phone that he had been playing with in his pocket.

It was also annoying that he was resting and the work was barely done.

"Come on, it's a job for both wings."

"Do your best until the end of the day."

Jin and Ran made their way to the upper floors as they passed the employees returning home.

++++++++++

The moon can be clearly seen from the upper floors of the Artemis Finance headquarters building.

This is especially true in CEO Azusa's room.

The moon was shining brightly outside the window closed by a thick curtain during the day. The full moon has passed, but the light has not yet dimmed.

"I'm sorry to have to call you every day."

Sitting deep in the chair as usual, Azusa said that.

"No. This is our job as twin wings."

"Azusa-san, thank you for your hard work. Today's schedule was pretty tight, wasn't it?"

"Thank you. But imitating Ran, this is my job."

Azusa narrowed her eyes.

It must have been hard work, but she did it in a limited time and there was weariness in her facial expression.

"Jin. Is there anything at Azusa's work that you can act on his behalf? You did it efficiently by rearranging the schedule. Put everything in the empty space."

"If there is, I'm already doing it. I mean, I'm working on a job that I can take over."

"Yes, but you can do more work."

"The purpose of the story has changed!"

There seems to be room so he just wanted to push it to the limit.

Anyway, although Jin has a habit of skipping, the work itself is decent. He understands the work situation, including the surroundings, as much as Ran. He's that kind of guy, so he wants him to commit more.

"Good. That's all for the chat. Azusa-san, I'll get into the main topic."

He stepped forward. Jin was operating the taplet terminal that he was setting up while he was speaking, the shared information will be displayed on the monitor.

"This is where Ran and I should immediately move like twin wings, as the intelligence department did their best to investigate."

The expanded building is a dismal multi-tenant building. You can see at a glance that it is not being managed correctly. However, there were traces of people coming and going.

Illegal occupation of abandoned buildings. This is common in the Akatsuki Special Zone.

"The theft that continued on Finance Street was an organizational crime."

"The organization is based in the special area which is the building where people who cannot clean live. It is based on the outskirts of 'Finance Street', which is not supervised by the security department, and makes some calls here. It's a common pattern."

"An assault by the security department is possible, but since the opponent is armed, considerable damage is expected."

"But... he's kind of the type of person who runs away quickly if he wins, so it's hard to deal with this carefully over time."

"That's why the twin wings quickly deal with Scard's power."

The government must deal with criminal organizations.

However, the Akatsuki Special Zone is an abandoned city. Akatsuki is useless due to understaffing and deep-rooted corruption. What's more, the criminals rush towards the devastated conflict city of Akatsuki.

One of the roles of "Artemis Finance" is to maintain the security that the country must do.

That is what the intelligence department, which has a high level of intelligence as an intelligence organization, and the security department, which has received formal combat training and is armed, work together on "Finance Street."

"Artemis" has been protecting this area since its predecessor organization.

And if you want to deal with an enemy that is difficult for the security department to handle like this time, or if you want to handle the problem in secret, "The Twin Wings of Artemis" will come out.

Managing Director of "Artemis Finance" and the execution unit of "Artemis". Scard, a halberd and a shield. The current generation is Washimine Ran and Karasue Jin.

"Commanded by the goddess of the moon, we will punish those who attack this city."

Azusa said in an icy voice.

"But I'm sorry I couldn't help to my wings today."

She smiled like a sun.

"He's not the type of person Azusa-san should be upset about."

"In other words, Ran means that Azusa-san is still busy with work, so don't overdo it."

Jin is proud of her. He believes that, but it hurts when he tells her.

"It's like Jin said, Azusa-san, you're busy. Don't overdo it."

"Thanks for your thoughts, but do you know that I'm fine now that the moon is beautiful?"

A dazzling sun and moonlight illuminate Azusa's face as she looks out the window.

"That is why my work is concentrated at the moment."

She shrugged her shoulders.

That is the fate of Azusa's "Artemis" tattoo.

Among the divine tattoos that house the gods, "Artemis" is one of the tattoos with the strongest power. Ask the Scard for a great price in exchange for power.

Those who carry the tattoo of "Artemis", the goddess of the moon, are greatly affected by the age and time of the moon. When the moon is full, the moment the moon is in the sky is full of vitality in her mind and body. And vice versa.

And the power that is too great for humans to wield will also scrape lives.

"Leave it to me tonight. Support Azusa-san. That's what we're twin wings for."

"That's right. Our goddess."

Azusa under her eyebrows.

"Sorry. I'm tired before and after the full moon."

"No, that's why you must rest..."

"Ran always so loud."

"That's because you're trying to skip work."

"You are doing your job correctly, right?"

Azusa laughed at the exchange.

"I trust you, my wings."

"Leave it to me and Ran."

"Yes, even if the wings are scattered and torn."

Leaving "Artemis Finance" headquarters, they headed to the battlefield.

++++++++++

The ice sheet flashed, and the flames slipped away and disappeared.

The battle ended in less than a few minutes with nothing to say.

Criminals roamed the multi-tenant building where blocks of ice remained.

"The rest of the process is left to the security and legal departments. If they have the evidence, the Akatsuki station will have to work as a police officer."

"Okay. Ran, did you kill him without realizing it?"

Jin smirked as he struck an unconscious criminal with an iron fan.

"Are you making such a boring mistake?"

A man whose half body was frozen suffered a frostbite.

"Today the fight has been harder than usual. That's why."

He accidentally clicked his tongue at him.

He had good eyes, although he didn't care. No, maybe for the duration of the relationship.

He certainly wasn't as good as usual.

He knew that he should not bring personal feelings to his work, but...

"There are a lot of twin wing jobs these days. Did you want to skip?"

"I am sorry."

But as Jin says, the opportunities to do a job like this as twin wings have increased dramatically in recent months.

Even though the Akatsuki Special Zone is a lawless zone, on average, the work that the twin wings should do instead of the security department was several times a month. Consecutive attacks at dawn are clearly more unusual than before.

"If this continues, it will be a burden on Azusa-san."

"The last time we came it was because we were fighting in line, so we were worried."

"Oh, I'm also thinking about the city."

Suddenly, the outside of the dirty building's window was still illuminated by moonlight.

"The goddess we serve is really like the moon. She lights up everyone under the moon."

"That's right. That's why the twin wings have to deal with them, no matter how many enemies we have. Faster, stronger... Do you think that's the case?"

"I do not know."

He made a serious face. It was frustrating to see through Jin.

As the security department had arrived, they left the building to them.

"At the moment... this is the end of my job as a twin wing today."

With a sleepy face, Jin stretches his back enormously.

"You will send me home today, right?"

"Don't say it as something natural."

However, since he had come in his car until now, he had no choice but to drive it.

"...No, I could leave you here."

"It's not good. It's strange to bring me here and leave me on the way home."

"Take a taxi. You can get a receipt."

"If I don't go back to Finance Street, I won't have a taxi, and if it does, I'll walk."

He had no choice but to get him into the car.

He drove through the city at night as usual. Since it was an open car, he could feel the moonlight and the night breeze directly.

He likes this on nights when the moon is beautiful.

"I had extra time as twin wings, but if Ran takes me, it looks like I'll be there in time to see back tie live."

He would be more comfortable if there weren't any noisy guys in the passenger seat, but that usually happens on nights like this.

"What is the back tie? Is it an anime story? And don't give the twin wings work a selfish name."

"Yes. It's called a back tie, and when you think about it, I'm deeply moved that you can understand the animation I'm watching. At first, I thought it was a car term."

"I don't understand. I'll go back to work again."

"Ah! It's not a bounce! Oh, you left your luggage."

"You cannot involve your team in battle."

"Didn't you bring your laptop earlier?"

"There's a reason. It was necessary to take immediate action in normal business. And I never hit my PC. That's it."

"Oh... The priority of not involving the team in combat is less than the importance of work."

"Is there something more important than work?"

"Wow. You're a slave to the company!"

Ignoring him, he continued driving through the Akatsuki Special Zone.

The devastated Hideto criminal organization was on the outskirts of "Finance Street", out of the reach of "Artemis Finance".

The building was not particularly rugged. The scars of the "Akatsuki Conflict" still remain on the streets, in addition to "Finance Street", few people are left defenseless by insecurity.

It is a dark and quiet city with few streetlights.

"Ran. This..."

Jin in the passenger seat offered him something.

He almost makes a voice.

A box with a cake. It's from the cafeteria that he miss today when he got back to work.

Naturally, he decided that the content was that baked cheesecake.

"You couldn't go at night."

"Why do you think that?"

"Given the run schedule and behavior patterns, I think I'll be back at the office anytime I want to take a break, so I'm sure I'll want to eat candy right now when it's all over."

"Ok, not bad."

He was feeling sleepy too. Considering it will take a while to get to bed, strong coffee seems to go well.

"Ok. I think it's okay to relax your shoulders."

He told Jin feeling sick.

Even though he was smiling while working as a twin wing, he now had a decent face.

"I'll be busier after this."

There was no speculation. The other twin wing said it confidently.
