For $109 million I fully expect it to be able to make a cell phone call

I think the Anduril Corporation's Fury unmanned fighter would be the next biggest gamechanger in the future of warfare. It fulfills one of General George S. Patton's quotes that is perhaps the most pragmatic and sensible applying to warfare in general: "The goal of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his". Military victories are not determined by martyrs and courageous last stands, but casualties, damage, and psychological morale depletion inflicted on the enemy camp. The Fury with AI integrated, but human override capable and remote controllable manual mode would be a ninja in the night sky on the battlefield of the future.

A manned enemy jet pilot and their commanders, even if they get a lock on the Fury, would come to two realizations:

1. "Even if we manage to shoot that thing down, we'd just have knocked out a moderately expensive toy which that country, which is now colonizing Mars, can produce at a rate of one per factory every 8 hours at very little cost."

2. "If that thing gets the upper hand and shoot us down, we'd lose our expensive plane produced at the cost of thousands of starving peasants, and most likely lose our ace pilot too."

Fury, and it's next line of equal vehicles land/sea/air, would inflict psychological dread on potential enemies the way the first nuke did...

Random zero shift

Looking for some input on an issue I had today at the range I have never experienced before.
Some details on the rig for context
TL3
Proof Pre-Fit .223
Razor gen 2
manners TCS
75 eldm lapua brass 24gr varget

So I have ran this same setup for about 900 rounds now and has been a solid performer.

Today mid range session my zero shifted 8mils up. I couldn't understand what was going on and went to a 100 meter paper range. I checked torque specs on everything ( action, rings, base) nothing was loose. I re-zerod the gun and everything grouped fine and held zero.

My thoughts are something in the optic shifted.
Next step is checking the torque spec on the barrel and head back to the range to confirm.

Anyone ever come across an issue like this?

Prayer request: My Dad just jad a stroke. UPDATE: He's doing MUCH better! THANK YOU.

I'll find the Natto amd send it their way. At their ahead they're not the best with the interwebs.
3/4 of natto is made in china, and has no therapeutic effect. I would try Designs for Health Natto Serrazime to get started. I could sell you some for near cost if you wanted to buy a few months worth. One bottle, 120 caps, 4 caps a day is a month's supply. Has to be taken totally away from food or it will not work. I would use it for 6 months, maybe more.
