>>61501354And you believe them? They made so many outlandish claims as damage control, just remember when they reasoned the golf carts are a good idea just to name the newest cope
>>61501354>about toable to*
>>61501366I mean, it sounds believable to me. They're running out of shit loke MT-LBs and BMPs so they're reporting to whatever the fuck this is
>>61501379it doesnt sound believable to me, not after so many lies. I think they honestly believe this protect them, or they get possessed by the ork spirit, and the higher ups doing damage control of the mad max shit the grunts creating

NGAD speculation threadWhat will it look like? Will it even be manned? Questions abound
>>61497951Because that's the word the random name generator that some intel nerd at NATO used came up with
>>61497955In this case, it’s not a NATO name, but Russian-chosen one. It doesn’t even begin with F.
>>61497972Good point. Just vatnigger cope then. I hope if there is ever a new Mig it is called the Migger.
>>61497918The Su-75, if it even gets made into a real plane, will be a glorified 4.5 gen at best. >limited to stealth capabilities, but still likely better than the Su-57 on account of DSI, S ducted intake, and better shaping than the Felon>3D thrust vectoring, not that it would matter that much anyway>worse avionics than American 5th gen and updated 4th gens, considering Russia can't even bring its all of its Flanker fleet up to speed>probably the exact same weapons Russia has today with some compatibility with Indian and Chinese weapons and equipment>internal weapon stores greater than the F-35>"virtual cockpit", actually just a dressed up version of the current Russian HMDThe Su-75 was 20 years too late when it was announced, let alone how long it'll be when it will enter service. Sukhoi's last dying breath.
>>61492826>What will it look like?Less cool than you'd want, but still cooler than dumb-dumbs on the internet will say
Buks getting M30A1 GMLRS'dAnd other radar as well.But oddly, AGM-88 HARM never given as the AD killer, despite Ukies often posting PR vids of launches.TOTAL BMP DEATHWelp, hope the brick factory in Krasnohorlivka was worth it...
>>61495634 damn smokers
>>61490568There's no way that's real.That's like 8:1 ratio if I'm counting correctly.
>>61501058So about average for the past few months.
>>61501058Pretty normal when the Russians keep plowing them into prepared defenses.
>>61490568>But oddly, AGM-88 HARM never given as the AD killerThis list is based off video confirmed losses, so you're not going to see a weapon that is used without a spotter.

>>61497148Nice.
>>61498199Italy won't build a Leo 2 factory. What is more likely is that they get a Lynx and a MGCS factory.

>>61496097I worked at a tire shop like 6 years ago and, like a moron, I kinda miss cracking and prying apart seized-up split rims. Very satisfying, not too complicated but has its tricks, can toss your weight around.

>>61495930If you're just gonna be driving around African scrubland doing battle with poachers or the odd nigger militia/Pringles Pirates just a plain truck with a gun seems like it'd do the trick just fine when you consider the size of their military budget. Sure you could go in there with a Bradley and be basically invincible to anything within 500km, but "Toyota Truck with turret" is something cheap and easy to maintain when you're working out of literal African scrap heap garages with a military budget that's like what the US spends just on toilet paper for marines to eat as a side dish with their crayons.

>Mig 25>no cannon/gun>tiny control surfaces relative to the plane so not maneuverable>literally the closest jet visually to a flying brick>americans saw this and were shook to their core which led them to make the f15There's no fucking way it wasn't just the MIC hyping up the soviets to fleece the US out of taxpayer money.

>>61499455most f16's STILL dont have a radar that the mig-25 had lmfao, except like Japans or something>webm tangentially related
>>61494677>its because the missile couldnt hit the broadside of a barn unless it was a 5-alarm barn fire, for like the first 10 yearsNot really. The AIM-9 Sidewinder worked fine at high altitude (See 2nd Taiwan Strait Crisis) but at low altittudes over the damn jungle? Way too much background heat. However, for a long range head to head engagement, the F-4 favored the radar guided AIM-7 Sparrow.

Post your unpopular opinions or whatever grinds your gears that is either weapons or war related. I'll start:>WWII era US infantry TTP's>modern era US infantry TTP's, squads should have designated scouts running small patrols in front of the squad formation, the idea of fireteams following in travelling overwatch or bounding the whole way is stupid and gay>Rhodesian and South African shit being popular is only based if your take on it is because their infantry were incredibly good, their overall strategy for fighting insurgencies were very good and that they were white fighting to have their own countries in Africa against the hordes, none of that "their camo is cool and so are their shorts, isn't that funny? lmao" type shit>there is no reason to replace 5.56, shooting at anything beyond 300-400 meters is for the mortars, artillery, snipers and tanks. Having a "do all" caliber is gay and defeats the whole point of combined arms>hi points and PSA rifles are great for an American insurgency because they're cheap and you can ditch them if you have to, like how an actual insurgency fights inna real war. You don't want any expensive shit on your rifle because you have to be willing to ditch it>magdumping around corners and frag grenades will always be superior to SOF fluid dynamic high speed low drag shit>plates are nice to have but are not necessary and can be very detrimental if you have to move around a lot, if armor is needed, then you're better off with lvl 3A vests for frag protection while still staying lightNow you
>>61500618Objectively correct and it should have incorporated Iraqi armed forces in the new government.
>>61464560There were no good guys in the Iraq war.

>>61500742People forget burglars aren’t mindless idiots. They be retards but there’s a science to finding the right house to rob, and having those three precautions basically makes your house kryptonite. Unless they’re hard core on drugs, but you’d have to live in a total shithole to worry about that.
>>61500575of course, otherwise we would have needed to turn around and say "hey Soviets, quit being Napoleon 3.0 and spreading your revolution" and nobody wanted to deal with that for some reason

what does the platoon sergeant do in combat deployments? what's his role and tasks?
>>61484276In our doctrine (insert tank force of a smaller european nation here) the platoon sergeant is the "mother of the platoon", basically he is responsible for (communcating up) any supply or maintenance needs of the platoon. He is also responsible for preperation of defensive positions or the base for the platoon, i.e. where does the tent go and where are fighting positions located the need be. The platoon leader only then checks that these are done correctly and may dictate some improvements or changes the need be.Platoon sergeant is also responsible for all of the platoon's equipment and it's his job to make sure nothing is left behind. In combat he commands one half of the tank platoon.
>>61484276>Platoon leader tells NCOs what needs to be done>NCOs make sure the privates do it
>>61498066PL tells PS what needs to get done on their (officer tasks) and coordinates with the tasks the PS needs to have accomplished, then the PS tells the SL what the tasks are, orders coming down follow your direct chain of command, and the PL is still learning how to lead and all that jazz while working with the PS who probably has more than a decade of service more than them to provide experience
>>61484497Pretty much this. Add in Casevac and sustainment >>61486143This guy gets it
>>61500908The PSG is the leader in all but name. The LT is in probation/on the job training for his real first officer job as a captain.In theory NCOs could lead up through company level, arguably battalion level; but then they'd be wizened 90yo men by the time they ascended up the ranks to generals. Tactical and operational level are legitimately different skillsets. So is strategic level. So you have to fasttrack some guys by starting them at operational level.

>>61500303Same here, for pistols I turn my head so my dominant eye is in line with sights. For rifles and shotguns I close an eye but don't have much knowledge as to whether that works well. I refuse to be wrong handed but it's a good skill to hone anyways
>The Finnish Air Force's F/A-18 #Hornet aircraft HN-401 flew its final flight today 26.4.2024. #HN401 was displayed at the Finnish Air Force Commander's media event at the Satakunta Air Wing in Pirkkala. Following the event, the Commander flew the fighter jet to Halli, Jämsä.>HN-401 is a fleet leader, meaning it’s been flown more than other F/A-18s during its 27+ years of service, and it’s been selected for flight missions more frequently than average, particularly those missions known to put the aircraft structure under the most strain.>The F/A-18 fleet will be retired as planned during the transition period at the turn of the 2020s and 2030s, with the F-35 system replacing the capability of the Finnish Air Force's F/A-18 fleet between 2025 and 2030.

>>61486298When they're battle-tested, to start with. A hurdle the CCP has conscientiously avoided.
>>61498014QBZ > 86s but not by much. Not like they were designed for the same markets though. The QBZ is a military rifle first, designed for domestic use and foreign contracts. The 86s was just an American commercial market exclusive designed to get American consumer dollars before the chinks for their shit banned. Afaik they were never sold outside the US, and we only got 2000 or so of them.
