Vietnam recently unveiled and put into service their new VCM-01 anti-ship cruise missile. It’s the reverse engineered version of the Russian KH-35 (not sure which variant though).

Specs:
> Range: 80-130 km
> Warhead: Approx. 145 kg
> Can be launched from ground and ship

If the specs are true. This would make it one of the worst anti-ship cruise missile ever created. But I’m surprised that Vietnam even has the R&D and industrial capabilities to produce missiles in the first place

I don't get why this map shows the MNDAA, TNLA and AA as PDF affiliated groups while the 4k coalition is listed seperately. The former three are more closely allied with each other as the Three Brotherhood Alliance and frequently engaged in ceasefires with the junta. They are more aptly described as co-belligerents of the PDF and maintain close links with China. The 4k coalition on the other hand has some groups who are fairly loyal to the NUG such as the KNDF.

>>62086838
>irrelevant
It is very relevant. Maces in sport armored fighting are limited by weight for safety. Consequently, there's no advantage using one compared to the other options. A falchion designed for sport armored fighting has more reach and hits harder on account of the greater allowed mass. If they could use non-gimped maces, it'd be a different story.
>>
>>62089313
Doesn't matter. If the mace was heavier it would be slower to swing and easier to parry and dodge.
>>
>>62080533
>The mace is a short weapon so you often swing for whatever you can reach
Since it's a shorter weapon, you have to be in closer range to hit anything. That means if you can reach one part of the body, odds are you can reach most of the other parts of the body.

>rather than make called shots on guts, arms, and legs
skill issue
>>
>>62092398
Possibly if your enemy was a stationary target but more likely they're going to backstep whenever you step in. You'll have to swing at anything that's in reach just to get hits in.

>But what if we're in a press of battle and he can't backstep away from me.
Then you also don't have room to swing freely. The only angle that won't have someone in the way is above and that raises the chance of hitting someone in the head significantly.

Interesting
>>
>>62086465
interesting indeed but two things in my mind speak against its practicality outside of a one time use:

1. Its not practical for anything else than stabbing with much force, therefor a blade aint makin as much sense as more like a naillike tip.

2. the soft dildo would be damaged if youd use it with full force.

That being said; i am thinking of rather making another knildo knife for /k/ this year but may actually make the handle outta wood. Im thinking of a puukko style blade, if i get the handle like a bollock dagger it could be a really cool practical tool. Now i need a good wordplay with puukko and penis..

Taurus 605 defender with cerakote/altamont grip. Just got back from 4th warranty service and went through 50 rounds no problem, will have to test more thoroughly. Previously the cylinder would constantly lock up, wouldn't spin freely, and 2 of the 5 chambers were unfirable, each time i got it back from taurus nothing changed until this last time. Warranty paperwork stated chamber headspace and cylinder adjustment each time I received it back. Fuck taurus. The cerakote is dog shit too, wears right through on cylinder immediately after firing. At work but might post a pic later if can remember. Owned a taurus 856 snub before that and had no issues but one bad experience like this is enough to just go with anything but taurus in the future. They wouldn't refund or exchange me bc I didn't purchase directly from taurus.

Ukraine is fighting against a much more numerous opponent with extremely heavy and deep fortifications. Would tunnels be a good way for them to evade Russian bombs and bypass Russian lines?

Both the Viet Cong and Hamas have made heavy use of tunnels, for logistics, hiding their fighters, and infiltrating behind enemy lines. North Korea has also secretly constucted many tunnels to infiltrate South Korea, and the tunnels of Azovstal enabled the defenders of Mariupol to hold out for quite a while against superior forces.

Tunnels can be dug with few resources. Reportedly, Hamas tunnellers equipped just with jackhammers can dig 4-5 meters per day. Ukraine has some 5.5 million pensioners between 60 and 69, many of whom may still be fit enough to operate a jackhammer or push wheelbarrows, and with proper shift rotations and better equipment,, would probably be able to dig faster than Hamas.

These tunnels would allow Ukraine to sneak special forces behind Russian lines, deliver supplies to their forces without facing the threat of Lancets and FPVs, launch FPVs behind Russian lines to hit trains thought to be far enough away, move artillery around without threat of drones, store supplies, detonate bombs below Russian positions, and protect civilians by relocating the civilian population underground. Mud would probably be irrelevant 20-30 meters belowground, as well.

So /k/, would it be worth it for Ukraine to mobilize its elderly population as tunnelers in order to gain a major battlefild advantage?

Tunnels were used by RF to attack Chasiv Yar. There was an issue with the width of the tunnels, however, and this meant that the RF couldn't casevac through the tunnels at all, which really limited their effectiveness.

I haven't heard of Ukes tunneling since Bahkmut.

I assume OP knows something and is using this thread to mock Ukraine
>>
>>62093073
>What are you even talking about?
You keep being told that the distances in ukraine would make a tunnel system unreliable, vulnerable, impossible to build without being detected and a waste of time and resources. The similarities with Gaza are null.
You keep being given valid reasons as to why it's a stupid idea and you continue doubling down, then pretending you don't understand plain English. It's because you want it to be a stroke of genius, you didn't consider the variables and you're utterly desperate for validation.

Russians had to lose several hundred men for basically no casualties inflicted in return, but on a tactical level it was a literal undermining of one of the most well-fortified points in the entire war. It's actually an excellent demonstration of how important tactics can be - a bunch of mobiks with no equipment larger than an infantry mortar managed to force a withdrawal, while the mass armored attacks with obscene costs could not.
