How much uniforms did the military produce per year? By uniforms, i mean combat fatigues. From my understanding, they spent billions, but the amount of uniforms is pretty vague. However, there is always some kind of surplus that resulted in them getting stored or whatever.
>>61655164>Congress tried to pass a bill that makes it illegal for non vets to wear uniformsI don't really think it's that big of a deal as long they would have allowed exceptions for collectors, reenactors, filmmaking, Halloween costumes and people who wear unmarked surplus cammies. You gotta think no other profession was impersonated to the same degree as service members were during the GWOT, so it makes that a law was made because it did become a legit problem. If you're not doing one of the aforementioned activities, there is no legitimate reason to wear a uniform with name, rank, medals, and unit patches. Again the problem wasn't people in old BDUs going hunting. It was people buying Marine Dress Blues and pretending to be Sgt Major of Marine Corps at Waffle House for 5% off their meal. I honestly don't think things would be that different if the law were passed assuming Congress didn't fuck it up.
>>61656056What if they don't have the resources to even get the patches/names off, retard? Are you going to arrest some poverish guy because he was wearing some BDUs/ACUs he got from good will that still has the patches and names? Overall, what Congress tried to do was stupid and violated the first amendment because you may never know if they are committing stolen valor unless they actually try to defraud the VA and gain some fame. Some people like to Larp and some people don't really have the resources to take off everything. Even the stolen valor law that Congress revised got taken down by the supreme court in 2012, because it doesn't do anything aside from harming people who does not even try to get benefits from the VA.
>>61656273>What if they don't have the resources to even get the patches/names off, retard? Are you going to arrest some poverish guy because he was wearing some BDUs/ACUs he got from good will that still has the patches and names?If you can't figure that out, you shouldn't be free to walk the streets. Literally take a knife and cut them off.
>>61653091No, it just makes the most nothing going on welfare queens seethe and scream.>>61649120Military often make the standard for the uniform then farm them out to textile and clothing manufacturers. During the M81 Woodland BDU days, they used Gentec, which was prison labor. So lots of these makers will often sell uniforms or the government will overstock purchase their orders since it is quite literally a wear item.
>>61656296Yea, but I wonder how much they make oer year
Surely there must be some interest in this board for things made before planes and machine guns. Ive seen some sword threads floating around from time to time.Primer questionsAny period/culture your like or are autistic about?Have you been to any museum recently and seen or photographed any cool stuff?Do you own or collect anything or is in the process of building a kit for reenacting/living history/Larping?
>>61651182feel free to post as much as you like, its not like your taking the space from other anons considering that 95% of the thread has been just me trying to keep my thread afloat
Finally got around to taking a new family photo. And of course I forgot the mace...>>61644900To add, the bit that ended up against the rules were the locking gauntlets (which would be locked closed and thus make it near impossible for the king to drop his weapon). The rules change/clarification/ruling came in when the harness was "functionally" done, but before it had been decorated, thus the (relatively speaking) severely plain appearance. The other 1520 armour was the one made as its replacement.>>61647657Alas, at that point in his life it appears he was in decidedly poor health. Severely overweight, likely suffering from gout, with a festering leg wound that refused to heal since '36, and if the pus-filled boils hadn't quite shown up yet they soon would. He didn't live to see February of '47.
Gun drone
>>61654046Just shoot single shoots and aim better. There is no need to fight recoil when you can ignore it.
>>61656026>Just shoot single shootsA revolver would combine both options.Probably really easy to vent a revolver like >>61654111 and >>61654062 too.

>>61654858Judging by the drone advancements in the last couple of years probably by mid 2030s, just without the blades. Guns would be cheaper than choppy chops.

My jet bro anons, do you think the NGAD, or some future jet fighter, will have two PW-100 engines side-by-side, for a staggering 86,000 lbs of thrust in afterburner? And give it 2D vectoring like the F-22 and it would be the most bonkers fighter ever. I need to see this in my lifetime.
>>61655548>>61655580>>61655586Lifting body and ground effect more than likely played into the design as much as where to locate the mechanicals and systems for the swing wing.I'm sure a lot of wind tunnel testing went into refining the overall design as well.
>>61655021>>61655157I get that they were designed separately for their respective branches but the F-15 and F-14 would have been great if they swapped places. >>61655586There's a lot more aircraft whose fuselages provide lift than you might think. Given the amount of supersonic and other high performance aircraft that (intentionally) feature this, it doesn't seem to be a problem since it would be an aerodynamic surface anyway, possibly even moreso. >>61655762It'll be dual XA100s or XA101s, if not a brand new engine design entirely. over 90k or possibly even 100k ft/lb of thrust. >2D thrust vectoringProbably not a priority, but based on the concept designs coming out of Lockheed Martin it seems like they could easily do it without compromising stealth.

Can someone redpill me on the realities of nuclear capabilities of the USA, Russia, and other countries?Types of delivery systems, probable range and yield, realistic destructive potential estimates, most probable targets, reliability, etc. Also the possibility of survivability/recovery after a strike and the means of maximizing personal chances of survival.
>>61656054go 5 minutes without mentioning zoomers or trannies you brain-fried motherfucker. DEFCON is not a nuclear war simulator
>>61656063>DEFCON is not a nuclear war simulatorclose enough for government work
>>61654187Nuclear weapons are an example of what is sometimes referred to as a "Schelling fence"; the short version is that there are certain "natural" boundaries that make precommitments between opposing sides easier to coordinate.Think of it like this: you and another rancher are trying to divide a large section of land between the two of you, but it's very hard to figure out where the halfway point is. However, there's a convenient stream that bisects it (more or less), so you make that the barrier because it is a clear-cut, easy line. And the result is, it's easy for BOTH sides to defend. If either rancher encroaches beyond it, it's very obvious, and so both sides are incentivized to stick to it, because if you instead have to choose a less clear, more arbitrary boundary, it will be much harder to say when the line has been crossed."Don't ever use a nuclear weapon" is a useful Schelling fence, because if you say "only use a nuke against military targets", for example, then it very quickly becomes a slippery slope of debating what is and isn't a military target, and that increases the risk that nuke use escalates to global thermonuclear war. The safest thing for everyone is if no one uses nukes for ANYTHING, lest they get normalized over time and eventually nuking each others cities enters the Overton Window.
>>61653971>source: trust me bro
>>61653641>range = irrelevant, everyone has enough range to hit wherever they want in enemy countryNot true. A slow icbm can be shot down. A nuke dropped on top of your head by a stealth bomber cannot.Usa clearly has massive advantages in choice how to deliver.
>17 units of armored vehicles were used by the occupiers at the same time in the Novomykhailivka area, and Tavrian paratroopers immediately destroyed 11 units.https://files.catbox.moe/w4gm97.mp4
>>61650691Well, that remains to be seen. The PLA is largely unproven, they tend to lie about pretty much everything, so it could be that, it could be another SMO right in Siberia.

Wheeled or tracked for infantry troop carriers?
Yesn't
What the fuck is the point of s400? Is it capable of anything at all. I constantly see spam about how great Russian air defence is, but I have seen no evidence whatsoever to support this. Are Russian missiles even capable of any kind of tracking anything, or is it a complete fabrication? Why would nations like Turkey buy this shit? Did they do no testing and take the Russians completely at their word?
>>61654619Nobody cares about this irrelevant distraction
>>61655080So the Iskander isn't a ballistic missile either, huh?
>>61655546>xaxaxa ukropiggers wasting their precious western munitions on useless SAM systems and obsolete combat aircraft again ))))))))))))I really can't tell if this is bait at this point.
This appears to be an s-300 missile (Ukranian) hitting a russian ka-52 helicopter from Dec 2022. I just wanted to post it because it's both spectacular and (if it is an s-300) a perfect example of how these systems can be effective and devastating to aircraft. If it's not an s-300 than please hold me in the contempt I deserve. Still amazing footage tho'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AODmj9HnyGg
>>61649561S400 is very capable, it is capable of missing its target reliably at a range and altitude where patriot would also miss.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdNUPIRrvj0How the fuck did the nips even get past the wall of lead? Look at that shit. Are Americans such bad shots?

>>61654081all the good Kamikaze pilots were killed in training
>>61654125>practically: weak.if that was true, then AA armament would get weaker rather than stronger over the course of the warbut AA suites only ever got heavier and was prioritized above all else by the end of the war
>>61655894Meaning to say the Americans were just that incompetent. A plane is a large target and they miss.
>>61656429>Meaning to say the Americans were just that incompetent.AA complement increased for both the japanese and the USthe japanese were already phasing out their 5in guns for the 100mm DP gun because it was better at AA duty, despite the superior surface fire of their 5in gunswhile older ships had yet more guns stapled to them every time they got retrofittedthe point being that if AA was only for show, then they would have removed it from the ship entirelywhich is what they did to inefficient AA weapons like 1.1in gunsbut AA in general wasnt just necessary, it was crucial
What's the suicide rate on casualty collection units/personnel?
>>61649387My cousin was airborne infantry in Afghanistan and supervised the removal of bodies from a plane that crashed at (I think) Bagram. Some were difficult to get too in the wreckage and he said the smell of the bodies was terrible.
>>61655625>They self-select for people who're wired differentlyThis. They'll take you to the Morg and find the most unsavory example to show you and Guage your reaction during your initial training. From there they weed out some personnel.
>>61649387Funny story. My brother showed up to a call and the guy had filled the tub with charcoal and slit his wrists in there and left a note that he hopes it'll make the cleanup easier and he was sorry for the hassle. The dude in question was the guy that trained my brother as his replacement 2 months prior
>>61655082>DETCORDIs that suicide or accident or yes?
>>61655336>more people died in chicago in 5 years than all the gwot in over 20 years>>61655082 has 3 KIA out of 13 which is pretty high really. I assume most units were way lower. Though maybe EOD is a bit above the average.
