Solution to ai piloted drones?
>>61264376>SolutionNuke the world >AI dronesYou know, how hard would it be to make an in-board Javelin UI/AI type of thing? You fly the drone, you spot the target, you lock the target and activate the kill switch. Sure, it's more expensive than a few hundred bucks, but they'll be way more accurate and have way more uses than your average Javelin/Drone.
>>61270877Even the worst of dronebrained can get some sense when you tell them that faster kamikaze drones (aka missiles, rockets and shells) are handy to hit targets that may run away or let you kill the enemy before he fires and would not costing insane amount if not cost-plus contracted with 300 pages of requirements like functioning after -40 degree storage after 40 years as milspeccing makes drones cost 40x.The drone people are arguing against the "combined arms people" that would say stuff like "if the airforce killed everything actually dangerous, the tanks can plant the flag and be the most important part of the force structure" or "if tanks are destroyed it is because infantry didn't leap between the projectile and tanks" and "surely shotguns and claymores pointed up is the final solution to bombs, missiles and aerial threats forever" and "according to FM123-332-12 published in 1972 the enemy shall be defeated if I maintain a 25mph rate of advance across 3mile front with 4000 rounds of divisional artillery support per hour and any deviation means incompetence."
>>61269800>American Reaper is a fucking meme. It cost a small fortune when compared to a Lancet and fails to deliver the same effectiveness.wat>Comparing long loiter time armed recon drone with single use suicide droneA lancet is a bad but relatively cheap cruise missile analogue. Literally nothing about its mission profile overlaps with what a reaper does.
>>61264442The DOD policy explicitly notes that they're allowed to stop doing that the moment they think it becomes a problem, so unless you think there isn't a couple of funny image recognition software programs that are just waiting to get patched in if required, I wouldn't bet on that saving you.
>>61264376AI piloted anti-drones, obviously. Or some kind of microwave emitter that just fries their circuitry if they fly within its range, like that crowd control device they tested years ago that makes you feel like your skin is on fire.
Tactical gear thread.Post gear, discuss gear.Old: >>61214509
What do you guys think of a 2x1 mag pouch on your cumberbund? I already have a 3 mag placard up front but I'm thinking about adding another pouch on my side. Thoughts?
>>61272188It's ok as long as your weapon sling isn't getting caught in it, belt mount is usually preferable
>>61271084Can be for very specific auxiliary equipment like a pouch for a thermal clip-on or a gas mask. just to make it easier to identify while still maintaining a somewhat tactical color. not really necessary though
Any hunterfags that can recommend a good brand for goretex/shell jackets in mossy oak?I know Marmot did em in the early 2000’s and they’re unobtainable, everything modern I find is that gross endurasuede material.

>>61269332Kill yourself chink
>>61268292If the U.S. is not at war with Russia in Ukraine, why should it go to war with China in Taiwan? Especially when you consider that Taiwan's main economic advantage is its human capital, i.e. engineers and scientists who can be easily transferred to the US and its allies if needed, while Ukraine's main economic advantage is its fertile land which is now either occupied or constantly shelled/mined by Russia. In the case of Taiwan, you could simply issue H1b visas to all TSMC employees and their families, move them all to Seattle or Silicon Valley, and leave the mainland Chinese with the ruins of the Taiwanese industrial complex and a few million people who don't mind living under CCP control. No need to spill the blood of American citizens, no need to risk a nuclear holocaust, no need to sink the world economy. Taiwan is an even bigger outsider against China than Ukraine is against Russia. Defending Taiwan militarily ("boots on the ground, cruisers at sea") is even more foolish than sending troops to Ukraine or Israel. Yes, give them some ammunition and equipment to cause more pain to China, but that's it.
>>61271065>Especially when you consider that Taiwan's main economic advantage is its human capital, i.e. engineers and scientists who can be easily transferred to the US and its allies if neededThe Taiwanese may object and consider the CCP the better option if you're going to evac the engineers and leave everyone else to rot

No parades, no sexy media cover, no generals minted, no jobs program, hazardous to store.The only reason why forces are not defeated after spending trillions on platforms and crew with only a week of ammo is that the enemy does the same.Perhaps one can pretend to be serious people and for a moment, just a moment, and celebrate the actually critical asset that wins wars.I'm sorry the humble ammo stocks.
>>61272932We actually hacked their communications networks in both Iraq wars believe it or not.
>>61271395True OP, and it goes beyond shells.You could also apply it to field engineering or recovery vehicles being a bit rare. It's just not sexy or coolguy according to our pop culture.And also the general service-economy / FIRE economy shift starting back in the 80's.>>61272904>you're only doing this online because you can't find anyone IRL who will put up with your shit/threadI sometimes wonder if there's only one guy that keeps posting all these intellectual one-upmanship "debate" threads, or if it's just a common personality type among the population that wanders in here.
>>61272959>I sometimes wonder if there's only one guy that keeps posting all these intellectual one-upmanshipDo you have any counterexamples to the idea that a fairly narrow range of outcomes to any modern conflict is predictable using just one number? Or are you samefagging?
>>61272997ntaWait a minute, I know this feel...This feels like that certain British IFV topic style thread...
>>61272959>or if it's just a common personality type among the population that wanders in here.Go to /pol/ some time, they're insufferable in this way.
Obviously the FN P90 is at the top of the list.

How effective were knights in battle when compared to regular soldiers? And how did their loadout differ from a normal infantryman for the late Middle Ages?
>>61272659>French army of 10,000-12,000 Men-at-arms, 2000 crossbowmen, and 2000 irregular infantryit is likely that the number of "other infantry" (spearmen and bowmen) besides men-at-arms is understated, given that historically English ratios tended to be roughly 3 others to 1 armoured knight / man-at-armseven allowing for France's noted preponderance of armoured knights / men-at-arms in their force composition, if say their ratios were 2:1 that is lots of infantry not included in that countFrench records tended to leave their unarmoured squires and grooms out of the counts while the English tended to be more conscientious in including them.
>>61273062While that is probably true the forces directly involved in the fighting would have been weighted considerable more towards knights. Common soldiers got a lot more of the shitmuncher grunt tier military duties like guarding wagon laagers and carrying shit to and from the fighting lines and holding pieces of ground from which higher ranks could observe the battle. The point of the post was that the efficacy of the knights vs that of the commoners isn't a very clear cut issue, given their mutually supportive roles. The English would have been flattened quickly if they had only commoners but the French attacks failed in large part because their commoners were suppressed and unable to support effectively while the English commoners were able to support their men-at-arms.
>>61272140You're a nigger.
>>61272590Thanks bro
>>61271817>Knights trained regularlyVaries from knight to knight. Some just spent their days drinking.>Had quality armorAgain, varies. Many did, some MAYBE had a helmet. It all depends on how much land one had and how they ran it.>Had horsesThis one is true and that is main thing that differentiated knights from the rest.
>>61272887Glide bombs have a range somewhere in between tube artillery and MLRS, especially when lobbed from low altitude like the Russians have been having to do.They were absolutely near the front lines, near enough for SAMs to be a very real threat.
>>61273012you said deep in russia niggaits like i knew you were bullshitting>>61273043which ones>>61273120pretty sure they arent lobing them from low alt its literally impossible to get a good distance
>>61273213https://postimg.cc/m1T8VFcChttps://postlmg.cc/RJrXbtXM
>>61273213>you said deep in russia niggahow many hundred miles from the front line would you consider an appropriate measure?
>>61272339In case you don't get it, your post makes it sound like you're talking about Ukraine being bombed to shit after Ukraine loses the war, given that all the retarded nu/pol/niggers keep referring to the Ukraine war as a jew war, and russia has recently been spamming their dumb "glide" bombs.
