>>62091161Technically CA stands for "Armored Cruiser".
>>62091783>cost as muchprobably not but, after Dec 1941 everything became very resource intensive, both Alaska and Iowa class gunboats were large hulls requiring lots of steel that could be going into fleet carriers. It's why these classes were cut short (and the Montanas never built either) especially after the key naval battles of 1942
>>62092310I don't remember the fire arcs for Kongo's main battery but not all ships fired directly over their bows/ sterns. The turret FCS likely had some sort of interrupter to prevent it from firing in that part of the arc.
>>62089473> I’m considering the ww2 heavy cruisers more of an evolution of the protected cruise concept.Literally the exact opposite.
>>62089459> What even was the point of the Alaska class?Diddle the super cruisers the USN thought Japan was building.

Here it is, your moment of zen. US long-range missiles will return to the heartland by 2026. Meanwhile, euros will design and build their own long-range deterrence. The program will be called ELSA (European Long-Range Strike Approach). There are said to be multiple parts.Most specifically, we know of Deep Precision Strike System. This is a ground-launched missile system to hit Moscow and 2000km targets. Euros have wanted their own Typhon for a while. At Eurosatory, MBDA introduced a missile for such a thing.Who is involved: At this week's NATO summit, France + Germany + Italy + Poland signed an MOU. Spain and Sweden might also be interested. The US will deploy Tomahawk and gang to Germany while the eurofrens get their act together.spiegelhttps://archive.is/SO1FSbreakingdefensehttps://archive.is/kMSeM

Moskva was sunk, Kuznetsov is out of commission, the last 2 victory day parades have had a single T-34, the turtle tank was bombed. What else of note do the Russians have left? What will they still have if this conflict ends?
>>62092537Oh wow russia has more planes than ukraine, I am shocked and demoralized
>>62092713>>62092724>>62093060>>62093105What about what I said was not correct? These things are objectively correct:>Russia took land in the invasion>Russian military doctrine has historically been based on the idea of trading land for time, lives, equipment, and resources (Napoleon's invasion, Hitler's invasion, etc.)>they still have more planes but can't use them to their full effect because of AD>Russia is wrecking occupied territory while Ukraine has been confined to repelling Russia and surgical strikes on oil refineriesRussia is not in a good position. They can't make any serious advances, but that doesn't mean that Ukraine is in a good position. The Russians have wrecked a lot of infrastructure, destroyed several cities, and severely depleted Ukraine's pre-war population. I don't see it ending any time soon because Putin is willing to throw everything and everyone he has into a meat grinder to "win" his current holdings.I'm not even Russian or on their side. Denying reality and laughing at memes doesn't end the war on favorable terms for Ukraine.
>>62093046Go get him Poland!
>>62092537>trying to argue with a cultThat said, the russian air force is only big because large parts of it isn't really involved in the fighting. All the frontline squadrons suffer heavy casualties either when their bases get bombed or they fly anywhere near a manpad. The second russia tries to commit more air power those losses will climb proportionally. Even lobbing PGM's from across the border is resulting is losses, there's no real hiding
>>62093172>The Russians have wrecked a lot of infrastructure, destroyed several cities, and severely depleted Ukraine's pre-war populationAnd russia has lost the vast majority of it's pre-invasion forces, their stockpiles are running lower than ever and their economy is being held together by sheer denial of reality.Compared to russia Ukraine is absolutely in a good position.

>>62077970That's a nice antique I hope it is where it belongs now in a museum looks late 18th century or early 19th (it has a ring and not a swan necked hammer so probably 1805-1830) stock type is very similar to the US 1816 model or late Georgian English pistols. It is also incapable of firing as the top jaw on the hammer is missing
>>62090872>>62092318Its 100% real imo

Alright /k/ Give me the facts or just opinion on the .40 S&W round. History, shit talking whatever I wanna hear it all.
>>62092662unless that comp also weighs 2 lbs I think you're being delusional
>>62092700To be fair my 10mm is an xdm elite so my 460 has a half pound on it before the compensator.Regardless I shot them both side by side (180gn ammo inc jhp for the 10 and underwood 185gn jhp for the 460) and the 460 was softer shooting to my hands.Back on topic, they were both more fun to shoot and more effective than my .40.
>>62092277>.40 has maybe some significant punchit does period. (9mm, .45 ACP and others included)nta with the bestMM bros but .40 has a lot of practical deployement in the correct suited platform >>62087438If it works and you select the right pistol for you there's nothing at all wrong with .40it's probably not as suited a caliber in many compacts and most subcompacts, for exampleI wouldn't be expecting good or worthwhile overall performance from it in less than, say, 3.5" barrels

would thiccc mud actually eliminate your thermal signature?
Wasn't the jungle so hot that ambient temp and body temp would essentially be the same, and therefore mammals would barely show up on thermal? I bet that jungle was 98 degrees or thereabouts.
>>62093048yes I am disabled. how dare you?"dispersing" thermal radiation doesn't work. you just turn yourself into more of a black body. there's a reason thermal radiation shielding tends to be shiny
>>62092977>thermal>radarIt's all the electromagnetic spectrum. (You), however, are on an entirely different spectrum.
>>62092977He does because he's an idiot, but at the same time if the sun is out you are reflecting heat as well as releasing it, mud could well mask your body temp by reducing infrared dumping in bands that IR cameras use.But you'd have to test different materials.
>>62093082you do know that different parts of the EM spectrum react differently with different materials, right?>>62093098true, the only way to settle it is to actually measure the emissivity across the relevant parts of the spectrum
