LOCKHEED MARTINF-35s are piling up on Lockheed tarmacs, presenting ‘unique’ risks to the Pentagonif US refuses to buy, will they get cheap enough that i can afford one?https://www.defenseone.com/business/2024/05/f-35s-are-piling-lockheed-tarmacs-presenting-unique-risks-pentagon/396646/

>>61686343For unprepared landing abilities. The F-35B/C need it for carrier landings and landing on unprepared runways with minimal equipment and ground crew. It helps with keeping the logistical footprint small when you're operating in dozens of countries and off dozens of ships. All while worrying about your European partner's logistics needs, as some need to be launched/recovered from civilian highways with minimal gear. It also does help keeps maintenance to a minimum in that area. Sure, you want your plane to be in top condition, but, on the F-35 the Z-13 topcoat isn't REALLY that important to its RCS. The RAM is a composite sheet made of carbon fiber nanotubes that is applied to the individual body panels as a top layer before it's put into a kiln to pressure and heat bake it into a one-piece composite body panel ready to bolt on. Which is why it's so groundbreaking compared to the F-22, which does rely on a spray on RAM top coat for a lot of its RCS reduction.>>61686957That's just going to add unnecessary weight and complications when you can just build the fucking ladder in.
>>61686385Morale will NOT improve until the job search stops being hell and wages increase. We need those to live and employers are being dicks. Also, two-party prevention measures since they're both shit right now and age limit of 70 for politicians since ours are out of touch and have no inventive to improve the country if they have only like 5 years left to live.
>>61687277>stealHaha there's the funny word they use right before they flee country with half it's wealth.Newsflash, capitalism is a game and I'm actually fine with it, but we all know you need money to make money. If you want people to play the fucking game, you better make sure they have enough money to participate, perhaps in $1000 UBI monthly payments?

It’s been over 2 years of conflict in Ukraine. What is /k/‘s verdict of the Ukrainian T-64’s (and its updates) combat performance in the conflict. How does it compare to the zigger tanks the Ruskies have?
>>61690796Why weren't there T-64s in Operation Flashpoint?Big sad!
>>61690689I wish Russia was a tenth as cool as Cold War propaganda made them out to be
>>61690689It depends, if you’re in a post war vehicle put into service with whatever happened to be laying around then you’re probably feeling like a mobik shoved into a T-72, but if you’re in a Bulat with the best equipment that Ukraine could afford then you’re probably in the MBT equivalent of the M-55, a flawed Soviet era vehicle operating at it’s peak
>>61690689I think the Ukies used it as SPGs early war. I haven't seen any recent footage of them.

>>61692246they're not reinventing the wheel here, they just have to heat treat their fucking pistons and not overgas the rifle. For all the pistons they've mailed out to people they should have done like the original with a rifle length gas system. Hyperbolic I guess. I'd be curious to know the actual rate of failure on these rifles. It's obviously high, but like, how many end up shitting the bed? I want data.

White Genocide is happening right now. It's been in play since 45' but, now you are witnessing the mid/late phase of the operation. Once the boomers pass away you are REALLY going to understand the gravity of the situation at hand.

What's it like having a dad whose a vet?
>>61690541Based. He's keeping you ready. >Don't trust anyone. Not even yourself.
>>61690521my dad was an army vet who did non-combat stuff. he had some cool stories about meeting presidents on bases and shit, but didn't seem to effect his life that much except helping a bit with post-military career opportunities.
>>61690521He cures and treats sick animals and doesn't afraid of anything
Well he's drunk all the time and he only stopped beating us because he can't anymore.
My dad was a cav scout and a drill sergeant. Honestly pretty friendly laid back dude. He started me shooting at 7. Bought me my first gun when I was 8. Had us deep into Boy Scouts, hunting, and fishing. Always made a big deal about “putting your name on your work” and doing shit the right way. He was kind of weird in that sometimes he would tell us to do stuff that was clearly above the capabilities of a kid. For example when I was 10 or 11 we were raising 4H steers and he somehow expected me to hold this fuck huge ass cow pinned between two pieces of fence and I ended up getting launched by an 800lbs black angus.
Does this count as trigger discipline?
>>61692421>>61692429>>61692451>>61690297k poop or weebs, which are more mentally ill i wonder

>>61692451LMAO
>>61692466there is no doubt some, but I highly doubt its mostI seldom see k poopers on weeb threads and boards
Trigger discipline is for fags who are scared of their own guns. >>61691263lol fat spic
I don't have much, My grandpa was a soldier in the Iraqi army fighting in Iran, he was captured very early on and spent 9 years in a POW camp :/ my uncle also fought in the war although briefly.
>>61689958Have you posted this before? I remember reading something here like a month ago about some SS officer personally executing a shit ton of slavs with a .25 handgun. Did he like to wear gloves while doing the deed?
>>61689958What was his name?
>>616871731600's colonists. Stories about them getting attack by indian slavers are in the family.
>>61691492Hope he had a good life with the wife
>>616871731066 on my mom’s side. Oldest namesake was reported to fight at Hastings under William the Conqueror and was given a manor in Kent for distinguished service.
Ukros has no time or personnel to built cages and additional armor.
>>61689523>They were on before the war started and drones were an unknown threat at that pointHOLY tourist Azerbijan literally defeated Armenia with drones alone months prior If anything javelins were more obscure
>>6169238999% of all applique armor in the world was copeamericans knew sandbags were useless in WW2 as tank armor and despite offiically banning the practice, they quietly allowed individual crews to sandbag their tanks if it meant an increase in moralegermans also noticed that crews had a habit of adding concrete or track links to their tanks and issued an official ban on them, though photos of concrete-armored stugs indicate that some crews still kept doing itthe japanese were perhaps the only force that successfully enforced the ban on slapping things to the front of their tank, going so far as to ban attaching bags for personal effects outside of the tank, which is why so few photos of japanese tanks have them with the usual mess of bags and binsthis may have something to do with the fact that beatings were common in the army, so slapping a bag on your tank would be met with a slap instead of a reprimandthe soviets werent unique in allowing useless but morale-boosting armorbut they were perhaps unique in how much they outright encouraged itbedspring armor was known to be useless against all but the earliest and most primitive panzerfaust, but official kits were made and distributed to armored forces

what are some good interviews or podcasts where the guest extensively talks about his experiences in the armed forces? both about the training, the institution, and combat.I'm a Gordon Ryan one with Tom Spooner who's a guy that's been in for 22 years, 10 years delta, and yet in a 4h long podcast he doesnt talk about his combat experiences but about his alcoholism recovery and sbit for the first 2h.so could you give me some good ones? I watch them as war memoirs, so I dont care about them if it's just a therapy session.

>>61692209desu i thought he was more self reflective than the other SRS guests who just talk about how awesome they are. The tactical apparel modeling is gay tho
Spooners podcast is excellent and if you've ever worked with or even just been around these men in any capacity you'd understand that.
The US’s military is not the most powerful because of it’s advanced technology or massive firepower, it’s because of logistics.They have bases all over the world, seven of these are based at key locations, they are so equipped that they can support thousands of troops for months of sustained fighting. They can open up a new theater in matter of days, simply occupy a runway and they can fly in portable bases which can be assembled in a few days.They have fleets patrolling in almost every ocean of the world, ready to assist in any conflict at a moments notice. This is what makes them so scary, it doesn’t matter if you’re a landlocked country in the middle of a continent thousands of miles away from mainland US, they’ll literally fly in and build bases inside your territory before you can even mobilize.Russia and China have lost the fight before it even began.
>VGH the Based Chinks will save us against Zionism Literally every Asian group will act like Jews the first chance they get. Jews just have a head start due to have millennials of experience and being situated in Europe and MENA which were home to large empires.
>>61692292he's right, you know
>>61692349>doubt they have a grip on china at all,>He actually believesChina is Israel's third largest trading partner and Chinese and Israeli tech companies collaborate with each other. They even done military exercises with each other https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Israel_relations
>>61689115And they were right. After every war the US military is either in shambles or gets cut back. We've literally had to relearn the same lessons in every war, and then recuperate and reorganize for years after. Have you read about the opening stages of Korea, or the post-Vietnam period?
