Praise best pony for her mere appearance will stop the war!
Still building up by the looks of it, bet it will be awesome when it comes to fruition! Xd
it was great seeing derpy! Xd
Um... from the mouth of babes I guess?

....what are you talking about?

'tis an old saying, referring to an observation so simple and obvious that only a child would think of it.
9408804
Ah, thanks for clarifying that. Xd
The only things carrying sensor gear that good that far up are U2? although all the fly guys wear pressure suits, The Blackbirds were retired and only the far older, nearly 60 year old U2 are kept unless Predators are used?
Still, thats a Long way to go up and theyre not that much subsonic. Being a Mars atmosphere glider, they have as much manouverability as the the Great Pyramid, and dont read about their flight dynamics if you want to keep your pants clean. Its scary dangerously sensitive.
At least Derpy got a lift out, but will they C130 her back?
No Airboat, Seatruck, WIGE float craft able to ply the ocean, leaving just the ships, trains and dirigibles?
Maybe the Flimflam brothers can find other materials that are cheap in Equestria that humans cant afford? then again, recetnly dicovered titanium wood? Just what can sapphire stand as a barrel, breech, as in far too expensive on Earth for large enough, malleable, given you need tungsten moulds etc to cast the parts due to temperatures?
Has a pony equivalent of Samantha Smith emerged?
Someone get the major and that kid a medal!!!!
...... And Derpy gets 2!!!
I think its pretty ridiculous that ponies can reverse engineer weapons in weeks or even days. It takes months or even years to reverse engineer and develop a similar design, and even longer when you have nothing even remotely similar to work off of, even with magic, they are in the stone age compared to humans when it comes to military technology.

Magic probably helped them to a high degree, which is why they got flim and flam to recreate it. Say what you will about those two, but in thier own way thier geniuses. They built from scratch an automobile, a giant vacume, and a cider making machine. But as it said in the story thier weopons are simply copies of the originals and aren't AS good as them, example being they cant recreate military automatic weopons because they lack the materials and manufacturing to produce, the best they could do is a run down copy of it that shoots a lot slower then the original weopons, so even they aren't capable of reverse engineering everything.

A lot of what stopped us from making automated weapons was the ideas involved. Once people had those ideas, it becomes far easier. If you have a working model, the ideas are there, ready for the plucking. Calling them 'stone age' is laughable, seeing as they have combustion engines and electricity as verified in the show. They are playing catch up, not skipping the entire technology tree here.
They also had cannons, which is why they call guns cannons, because to them, that's what they are; hoof-held portable cannons of doom.
For some reason, I really like the idea of shipping the president and queen novo. Xd

I did not know this person, but is amuses me I tuned into that signal.

That'd be weird for me, as while I know this president is supposed to be faceless and fictitious, I've mentally been putting Joe Biden in the role.

Well shit, that's another detail overlooked, then the humans are even more dense xD
Has anyone thought about sending some recon to enemy lands, figure where the cities are, if they have a capital city, or at least search for a weapons factory? You know, to sabotage it, just get rid of it.
I mean, they seem not to give enough of a shit about putting more effort not letting their tech falling on the wrong hands or whatever.
Hope I didn't sound like a jerk, as that isn't my intention, I just think the humans could have done better in some regards. Still, Im really liking the story so far.

Human tech was taken two times. The first, from the house of a dead man, before humans even knew that this could even conceivably be an issue. (How quickly does a dead person have all their stuff collected?)
The second, in an active attack on a military installation. Magic was used grossly to circumvent the protective measures, which there were many, it was a military air base.
How are humans being lazy again?

Yeah I dont have problem with those two... I tought that some guns were taken that time when te equestrian forces attacked a town in Alaska when they fought against the police and armed civilians. That would ve a logical outcome but I guess I probably forgot about the details and it was mentioned that they didn't took anything. If that's the case, then sorry my bad.
On the other hand I guess the problem I had with the humans was aparently not taking the guns situation seriuosly enough, specifically talking about, apparently no one pointing out the fact of how fast and sudden the apearance of reliable enough rifles en their enemy forces. And that automatic weapons and explosives were stolen from the military instalation. Where I'm going with this is, if they can't really protect their equipment from being stolen due to magic, then they should at least start looking for the place where said weapons are being, reverse-enginered and manufactured.
If not I guess they will start looking for ways to counter magic, eventually.
Anyways it seems this will be mencioned more in the story. I guess I'm just looking ahead too fast because this is good, I just finished reading the new chapter and the intentions of doing recon and see where the railways leads to have been showed with that derpy y and the aircraft scene.
So that was that, I understant how messed up of a situation this is, so is understandable how things have been playing out. The same reason I'm really liking this so far. So keep up the good work. 😎👍

They did end up with some pistols pried from the hands of local police folk and defenders, and a shotgun, to my recalling. They discarded the pistol as a silly thing for silly people.
A wild derpy appears
yay
And who shall lead them? A Child.
Hello darkness my old friend...
The power of the derp can stop anything
Even wars
Oof size large
