You could use centrifuges, but there are larger fundamental issues, like the cost of moving the mass of a refinery and inputs into space and deorbiting the outputs. The vulnerability of space launch infrastructure itself. Probably heat dissipation, though I'm not gonna go look up specifics.
Just the time to develop, manufacture and deploy something like that compared to the kind of timeline permitted by war.
I mean, I assume that Russian dude isn't trying to do a deep analysis here, just throw out encouraging outside-the-box ideas, but even with that for context, "space" is pretty bonkers.
EDIT: Oh, saw the bit about shooting things down before they take off. Just gallows humor.
With how much weather could affect small aircraft like drones I wouldn't be surprised if there were a number of mini hidden weather stations in russian territory
In the performance horse world and with many breeds, 3 to 4 years old should be an adequate age to start a horse under saddle. In the racing breeds we start a little earlier (around 2 years of age) and the data doesn’t show that starting these horses early is a problem. But, generally, 3 to 4 years old is a good age and the horse should be plenty mature skeletally for some riding.
Horse aren’t completely physically mature at this point and are still growing, and certainly a 3-year-old Warmblood will look different from a 6-year-old Warmblood. You have to play it by ear and...
SPAATZ [US Army general]: Did the jet airplane really have a chance to win against us?
GOERING: Yes, I am still convinced, if we only had four to five months more time. Our underground installations were practically all ready. The factory at Karla (?) had a capacity of 1000 to 1200 jet airplanes a month. Now with 5000 to 6000 jets the outcome would have been different.
VANDENBURG [US Army Air Force lieutenant general]: But could you train sufficient jet pilots, considering your shortage in oil?
GOERING: Yes, we would have had underground factories for oil, producing a sufficient quantity for the jets. The transition to
jets was very easy in training. The jet pilot output was always ahead of the jet aircraft production.
SPAATZ: Could Germany have been defeated by air power alone, using England as a base, without invasion?
GOERING: No, because German industry was going underground, and our counter measures could have kept pace with your bombing.

Gotta love it. Vatniks lining up for gas.
Sure sucks to suck

Oil refineries in space. Oh yeah, big brain time.

End the war or build oil refineries under the Arctic sea?
Russia:

That has to be translation error, surely? There's no goddamn way anyone thinks that that's a meaningful option

I don't think they intended to be taken literally

It primarily uses gravity based separation so no it wouldn't be feasible in 0g.

Could use drones to deploy them as well.
Kowowow@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 67d
That's what I was thinking and if you did it right you could disguise it as old destroyed drones
lurch@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 66d
this would also help with the balloon drones

Setting aside everything else about this statement, there's some lag time there.
Assuming a maximum rate of horse-sexing is initiated today with no organizational delay:

Then you've got time for a foal to grow and then to train it.

Uh huh. That sounds familiar.
