is it really worth it or overrated ?i mostly see cringy redditors use it for they commute i'd like to know if their bags are really that good before i drop 1k to replace my rig with theirs
>>64700623>Tell that to literally every other real surplus shopMost "real surplus" shops have racks filled with newly manufactured stuff.
>>64700692Origopro makes an M05 smock
>>64697022>and it's finishI wish we could publicly execute europhiles in the states
>>64702012Your gear makers have everything made in Honduras and Mexico, is that so much better than gear made by whites?
>>64702051You've never met a europhile have you
Why don't modern rifles have a cleaning rod along the barrel anymore with a cleaning kit in the stock/grip?Seems like a pretty inelegant solution to give the soldier these separate maintenance packages when it all could be mounted on the gun, easily and quickly accessed when needed, and never misplaced/lost.
>>64700925Only time I've ever seen a failure that resulted in an obstructed barrel was with steel case Tula and a WASR.Round didn't fire and when the bolt was pulled back the bullet stuck in the chamber and the case ejected.Only time in my life I needed a rod to clear the barrel
>>64697544South Korea's present existence is proof we also won the Korean War
>>64697573Probably suffers regular power outages and half the country dies of heat exhaustion every time it gets warmer than 80 degrees
>>64701090t.
>>64685900I've done it during a training event where a battlefield blank round (UTM produced, no bfa needed but uses a special bolt, for context) got stuck in my chamber. Same scenario you describe, our position was being probed in the middle of the night, no sleep, remedial action didn't work. Had to withdraw back to my ruck inside a building and get my cleaning kit, assemble it, and muzzle thump my rifle a few times to clear it. I use an ak cleaning rod tucked along the hand guard to act as a clearing rod now. Another good solution is the extract-r from black hills designs. Spendier than a paint can opener, but doesn't bend on really stuck cases like chinesium paint can keys do. Easy to tuck into a pouch or through PALS webbing on your kit to always have on hand. >>64686512so what do you do, just give up? or fix the problem and get in the fight.
I lost the template :(
>>64701867Why do you like the ballistic knife? I don't know anything about it.
>>64701874Because it's cool nigga
>>64701876Oh, okay, was just curious.
>>64699357Waifu is my OC.Raifu sadly never ever.
>>64702033Fuck you faggot.
Horsie is safe :)
>>64701594>Tanks — 1 1488 (+7)
The price of an horse is higher than a motorbike or used car in the oblasts on the border. So it's not cost-effective to procure horses versus cheap vehicles.Why do they use horses instead of those options then? Is the maintenance cost of an horse cheaper or what? What do they run on in a battlefield? Is the fuel shortage in pidorstan that bad?
>>64683540Hello you history legend
>>64701474Why are there so few tanks and armored vehicles now?
>>64702037Horses need daily fodder (several kg of it) and are very fragile animals, can't 'repair' a horse either nor salvage it for spare parts.My guess is that the central planning/logistics of the military is just shit and the troops on the ground manage with what they can. Horse available? Take horse. Requesitioning vehicles and distributing them takes organizing.Harkens back to the era of the USSR where people were standing in bread lines and shops had empty shelves while at the same time food was spoiling in warehouses.

>>64701133they really need to make an enclosed dot that doesn't fucking suck. they all either leak or fall apart. Might just put my rmr back on the ledcog, my placeholder chinkshit is such an eyesore. I'll take my chances getting killed in the street.
>>64702031they do, it's called an aimpoint t2
>>64702039too chunky on the ledcog, though I love it on top of my atacr. >>64701526very tasteful

Uhhh how the fuck do you even defend this? What the actual strat? Do you have to rely on an iron dome like system?
>>64701978The fabs are wired to self-destruct with 0% chance of repair if the Chinks try anything.
>>64701450Niggers
Hmmm...how do you even defend this...
>>64702003>Elon spamming orbital bombardment on chinks while they can't do shit without chimping OOKkino
>>64701441Just lure all of them onto the island and unleash the nerve gas
I am trying to draw a cowboy type of guy with a S&W 29 magnum pistol thing, but I dont know how experienced shooters typically hold and shoot it. Can you guys give me some references if you happened to own this gun?I know its probably a meme gun in the gun community but its so cool
You wouldn't shoot this lil guy right?
>>64701943Based magatards hunter
>>64701970The problem was it was a male deer, and she did it on purpose to confuse hunters. The deer had also become really accustomed to humans, to the point it was going in her home, in a local store, and some other places. It was also directly approaching people and cars for food and trying to rub up on them.
Use it as a judas deer>>64701943"me"
>>64701889>blonde>green eyes
Why does /k/ want to WIFE the deer?
Could the Dutch Navy, with black pearl skeleton powers, have defeated the Japanese?
>>64692605>sail upside down>sailThere may be a problem with this.
>>64695114With what power projection they have? Not a chance. 17th century Japan had a comparatively pretty large population and was stupidly overmilitarised thanks to the Sengoku Jidai.
>>64693133>putting spikes on the top of their shipsWhy didnt every ship do that? Now you're immune to pirats
>>64691338I don't think their powers would be that great. Imagine being sunk over the marianas. Sure they won't die, but wont those scary skelemen sink to the bottom of the trench and get stuck in the mud?
>>64691338It is actually a shame that historically Blackbeard lost his flagship just before the confrontation with the Navy.
How has jungle warfare changed in the last 50 years?
>>64701995people get mad at you when you burn down entire forests with napalm.
>>64701995Yes, there's drones now. All warfare has changed.
>>64702021Well when I was last in the jungle there was 80in of rain, power was only 12 volt in the day, and the township power was only 120 for 4 hours a day.as such, internet was extremely limited and bandwidth was unheard of.Radio controlled drones, yes. but limited to observation. military grade RC is not cheap and they suffered a high attrition rate due to humidity, dense terrain, dropouts, operator error. The terrain was so dense that they were really only used by town barracks. We didn't have quad-copters back then, they make better kill drones, I got to play with them when I got home. But there are still the same limitations. The Li batteries operate best at 30-70 charge, their notional 100% charge is a spook. With modern ones you can quick-change the batteries but your loiter time is still limited to the 70% capacity of a single battery. And there's a significant issue of where you take off and land, even with clever setups where they take off remotely to give you some time to get out of the immediate vicinity, recovering them is often more risk than it is worth. we usually just flew them to ambush positions and hoped that insurgents would follow the low battery drone into indefensible positions.Because of the dense terrain operational tempo is often painfully slow, it takes days to get men into position, and men will often spend 18 hours just lying motionless in the mud. the AI on modern drones picks up movement very well, but in dense terrain everything is moving. and when it comes to IR/thermals they don't perform nearly so well, especially in high temperatures. Ukraine, the snow, yes. 80 degree jungles? not so much. the more water is in the environment the harder it is to get a differential. If I'm lying in a puddle, there's no clear separation between my temperature, and the puddles temperature.It's very hard for me to post at the moment so this might be a slow thread
What modern day tech could be deployed for supporting a large scale amphibious invasion that the allies didn't have back in WW2?
>>64701947>property investmentif they can also stop investing in australian property I'd appreciate it, the market is rough
>>64701986>holy crap lol, china is going to fill African landfill after African landfill with discounted chinese crap.FTFYIn Guangzhou, there's something of an anti-immigration backlash because there's loads of African traders who overstay visas illegally to run trading offices and ship stuff back home.I've seen signs on shops saying that no foreigners are allowed in without proving legal residence, stuff like that.Getting Chinese PR and citizenship isn't for the faint-hearted but it is doable and most of the people that apply for it are Africans or Eurasian 'stanians.China has a significant market in the third world and has been working on pivoting to there for decades now.
>>64702002>use your declining industry to attempt to flood the market with cheap shit and push into EU and NA markets>nobody wants it and it all gets bought for bargain bin prices by africans insteadkek
>>64702008I think they just think that the thirdies won't make any fuss about Uyghur slave labour and shit and there's very little competition for that market because the west doesn't make anything cheap enough to sell there.
>>64701986Xi has been begging for consumers to step up since 2015 and they hilariously refuse to because they're terrified. What's not included in this chart is while industrial production is up, the margins which were already razor thin have collapsed by 14% precisely because >>64702002 Africans and thirdies are piss poor.
Let me guess, you think your airforce needs more expensive higher performance aircraft.You could get 5 of these fucks and arm them for the price of an empty KR-67.
>>64700495I think IRL pk is lower assuming no defenses but IRL defenses are less effective
>2070>SARH still being used in SAMsAny real justification for this?
>>64700775They're gimped export models so third worlders can annihilate each other with little threat to actual powers
>>64700489still the best soundtrack, medusa comes right after
>>64699920As the other said it's hitting a niche I always dreamed off:>sophisticated siminstead of arcade shit like AceCombat where you shoot 100 missiles and destroy armies with a single do-everything fighterbut still have the thrill of realistic flight model, weapon loads, more than one type of aircraft, helicopter, and a battlefield that's made of more than AA / fighters>not a full DCS simulatorso you don't have to train for weeks just to be able to fly one model of aircraft (without fighting), nor have to spend 20mn between each flightbut still have to plan your maneuvers accordingly, care to not take a hit, consider the type of munition you use to go through like 5 types of AA>AIthe AI is actually good enough to play with & againstonly flaw would be ground vehicle that are either static, or dumb convoy of vehicle,Comment too long.

Now that a year has passed and the dust has settled... how do we fix the rafale? Its a flying coffin.
>>64701877Its obvious.
>>64701855>le artistique endeavour de la maestro en airbus Pierre baguette
>>64701881how?
>>64701793As much as I hate the Fr*nch, let's not pretend that the Indian Air Force is remotely competent enough to operate any sort of western equipment.These are the same guys that use polka dots for camouflage and have crashed over 400 aircraft in training accidents in the last 30 years
It's like saying MiG-21 is a bad plane because Jews wiped the floor with them flying Mirage III.
