She should just get on the War Thunder forums.

    First, we need the F35 on the game, then we need russian players paying the devs to nerf it until any il-2 can take down the F35, which will prompt an enraged player to leak classified info on the plane just to prove his point about a minimal stat change.

    I'm actually like 60% sure the reason War Thunder doesn't have an F-35 in the game is to prevent leaks.

    Realistically though china stole everything they needed years ago. The J-35 is an absolute pisstake ripoff.

    It's really, really hard to say from just the airframe.

    Now that the USSR is gone, and the files public, we know that the "Concordsky" was totally independently developed from the Concord, and completely different except on the outside.

    If they did manage to copy the whole thing, that's very bad news in any war with the West, because we're not about beat them on quantity of anything.

    Buy her some flowers while on a date. If she carries them stems pointing up, then boy, you're about to make hella rubles

    There was a famous case of a Soviet spy who got caught by the FBI because of the way he carried his flowers.

    In the US, if someone buys flowers, then while walking with them, the person normally carries them with the flowers up, stems down. The 'normal' way.

    In Russia, to protect the flower tops from rain, snow, cold, and wind, the average person carries the bunch of flowers with the stems facing up/forward, flowers pointing down/back.

    This spy bought flowers for some reason, and an FBI agent noticed he carried them the Russian way.

    If you ever get a chance to read any of Joe Navarro's books, he's a very good writer. I highly recommend "3 Minutes to Midnight"

    Okay but like, being a honeypot girl must be really hard because you kinda have to care about a topic to retain information about it. My husband started working with military ships or something like that and whenever he tells me ship facts (that are publicly available, he always cross-references Wikipedia) my eyes just fucking glaze over and I zone out because I have no interest in anything ship-related.

    So Lockheed Martin girl must have a special interest in airplanes. It must be so hard to fight the autistic urge to correct a guy who gets his airplane facts wrong.

    She don't have to. Record it via hidden mic, and it's just an art of asking correctly. Like "Oh I remember something about F35. My professor told and that's why it's worse than..."

    Obviously you need to know the subject a bit but mainly you need to know the cognitive tricks.

    I swear this whole "defence engineers get honeypotted" thing is just a recruiting ploy. I have been cheated out of my rightful duplicitous russian waifu

    Yeah, OP better prepare for some fanboying.

    Except, we can't ask too much, or we're literally a less sexually appealing version of this meme.

    Because if my preferred side doesn't, worse people will. (Although for all we know OP is Chinese or Russian)

    If that sounds like a slippery slope, sure, it definitely could be. It doesn't really seem like Canada is sliding into evil empire any time soon, though. And, when it does get to that point, they usually de-emphasise the idea of just war in favour of some version "patriotism", anyway.

    Start ranting about sprints and how you took 25 story points last sprint and STEVE THAT LAZY BITCH only took 18, but you think on top of it the tshirt sizing of your features was too optimistic, and make her fucking dread the agile.

    But key thing is to lead her on a little bit here and there, like if she asks what you work on, just say "oh can't talk much about it, kinda nuclear related", so she never gets pulled off your case. And promise to tell her the intimate details and tell her one day you can send her the source code you're helping integrate.

    Then send her bootstrap.css and go into way too much detail about how how you're aligning buttons for the top secret application

    Imagine that: you're a nation and know the enemy wants to steal your secrets by seducing your people. The best way to avoid it is to have them waste as much time as possible on fake targets. So you hire a bunch of lonely nerds who work in totally mundane fields and give them a crash course in looking like they do top secret stuff.

    I'd watch that movie.

    When arms manufacturers hear that their weapons were used in mass tragedies are they proud their weapons performed well? Do they wish their products would fail more? Or is it all just business?

    I don’t works in the industry myself but have some insight. ‘Performed as designed’ is a key phrase. The customer, typically the US government, presents a use case and a solution is designed to meet their specs.

    It’s oddly mundane and a lot of well engineered shit never gets used.

    If anything she would angle for a straight simple relationship. Get his trust and and have a lot of texting emailing going on. Then send him an email at work with a back door. Hopefully a funny one or interesting one so he shares it.

    Then she/they have access to the computer network and data base. If they were smart the target would be in either IT or management so they have more access rights.

    While this is funny, the entire honeypot issue can be avoided if the state sanctioned 1 girlfriend for every guy.

    No trust me bro, the government deciding on romantic partners and matches is totally not something ripped straight from a mid-tier dystopian novel.
