If you were in the Ukrainians’ shoes, what would you target with long-range drones and cruise missiles:The May 9 parade?Or an oil refinery that would be highly vulnerable because all the air defense systems have been pulled back to Moscow?There are currently about 100 S-400 launchers concentrated in the Moscow area.
>>65132460I'd hit Lenin's corpse with an FPV as revenge for the famine of 1922.
>>65132460Best plan probably is to increase the number of submarines in the Russian fleet, if you need to do anything beyond bombing refinery infrastructure.If you want propaganda, just make some drones pulling Ukie flags cross over the parade.
>>65132460their pride parade? token amount of anything sent in the general direction, just to get the alarms blaring, no actual targets of any kindmy reasoning for this is twofold - one is that if there is any place with the best air defense, it has to be moscow, especially at this time, so you'd need way more serious hardware to get this through. And it doesn't have any targets of military value, and it can easily backfire (since it'll be full of civilians)two is that just a singular air raid siren is enough to turn the parade into a farcethere's simply nothing to gain, other than reddit upboats, from sending anything serious to moscow. The not-as-prestigious bombing runs of their oil infrastructure and military complexes are extremely more effective
>>65132460Just poke the AD enough to make it start firing all over Moscow, Novorossiysk-style.
>>65133903Frankly, hitting the mummysoleum would be hilarious. Not sure how well-advised, but hilarious nonetheless.

Does anyone have experience with Arktis? Specifically their C111 combat trousers? Worth it?
>>65133253arktis is very solidnever wore their pants
>>65133253nigga get some ski pants from goodwill or something
>>65133253Only arktis pants Ive had were ranger pants, I found them thick and kinda stiff, felt pretty rubust but overbuilt in a way I didnt really like; they may have softened over time but I sold them before that could happen. I will say replacing the worthless ankle pocket with a TQ pocket shows they put thought into the design rather than just blindly copying Crye like every other manufacturer, so credit to them there. Being a much simpler design than the ones I had, the combat pants may be better since less material and seams to bulk it up, idk. Are you buying them locally or importing from the UK, Arktis didnt have a US branch when I was buying from them and I got violently raped by like 3 separate taxes/duties, would not recommend going through that if things are still that way.

How useful is it in that theater anyway? Don't fighters have to fly at treetop level and then pop up to shoot?https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/us-approves-373-million-precision-munitions-package-for-ukraine-18509
>>65132833They try to get me with the Jewish Children suffering emails, I'll happily pay for Russians to suffer, just send me a picture of a happy ukrainian man after he crashes his FPV drone into a T-72 and the lid pops 26 feet in the air and cooks everyone inside.
>>65133466>The US DIB can shit those things out like 50k a year. I'm sure Boeing is more than happy to take money from multiple countries.The air campaign against Iran will resume soon. 50K glide kits are gone in an instant, particulary if they are 500 pounders. A single B1 should be able to chuck scores of these in one sortie.
>>65132576Which aircraft can carry these?
>>65133486I gave it some tought, since I sadly know some of these. They are all people that failed (or most likely never even tried) to achieve their goals in life, and cope by saying "it was impossible". To see Ukraine resisting, instead of accepting the "reality" is a personal attack to their worldview.They care not for puccia, nor are sadists (in fact gore has a surprising effect on that, but the strategic use of gore is a topic for another lecture) but Ukraine must be punished for that.Truly thirdworldism is not genetic, but an illness of the spirit. Believing all is a zero sum game, taht only the leader has agency and that (percevied) strenght is the only thing that matters are the symptoms (and, ironically enough, the reason third world is a mess).I have found that relentless mocking it the only cure. It is not cruelty, but self defence. We cannot let them take root and feel confident enough to speak out their mind, infecting other.>t. anon MD
>>65133413>I didn't really give a fuck about Puccia before they did the stupid and invaded. Just like I don't really care about the Ukraine. But I do now. Every single part of this retarded conflict has shoved Puccia under a microscope and shown me their disgusting attempt at a civilization in great detail.Same.Well said btw.

was this ever used in combat? pretty sure it wasn't

Thoughts about medium tanks?
>>65132217The Booker worked perfectly fine retard, it was dropped because the Army didn't want it anymore precisely because the concept was of dubious use. >>65132566>take proven chassis that is also being used for a concurrent cousin project in the US>take gun with no known problems in another vehicle >invent new problems that literally never existed before How does this even happen
>>65133225If your tank doctrine isn't stuck on the idea that all tank warfare from now till the dawn of time will solely take place in the Fulda Gap its a perfectly sensible choice of gun offering a great deal of flexibility at a lower weight while having more than enough capability to deal effectively with any Tibetan monks you come across.
>>65132479Any tank does pretty well in Ukraine, but the ones capable of taking multiple fpv drones are the Western MBTs like the Leos
>>65133720Depends on the season. Only in the Summer and the really cold bit of Winter do you get the kind of hard ground conditions that let Leos and Abrams move around properly.The rest of the time, they have mud problems. One of the reasons people like T-72 and 64 tanks is that they were actually designed to function in Ukranian springtime, when vast swathes of it turn into mud soup and you very quickly run into the any tank is better than no tank kind of situation.Yeah they've got less armor, but getting stuck is an immediate death sentence so the mobility charts for heavy tanks either turn red completely or worse, there are like 5 green spots on the entire contact line.
>>65132040Almost all tanks are medium tanks. Modern MBT is outgrowth of medium tanks.>>65132078If you take a chassis that is about 30 tons with 30mm gun turret as IFV and 25 tons as APC with 12.7mm RWS, you'll end up with roughly 40 ton vehicle if you put tank turret on it. The fact that your "light tank" uses a chassis from something else that is already in service and also present in the theater is essential part of the concept. It shares spare parts with 'em and that helps with logistics.>>65132224Concept isn't retarded at all or at least wasn't. The fact that US army dragged their feet thru mud for 15 years when they might have benefited from it was. Lighter and logistically easier expeditionary tank for fire support would have been perfect fit for Afghanistan. Now cheap as fuck FPV drones probably have possibly made it obsolete. The point was to have direct fire support that doesn't cost 50k to 100k per shot. 120mm or 105mm shells are quite a bit cheaper than ATGM's. FPV drones have kinda changed it.China has quite different, but essentially similar reasons why they have continued to develop light tanks. There are parts of China where roads are too shitty for "real" tanks, it isn't expeditionary warfare against 3rd world subhuman savages, they have that at home and on their own border with India. Tibet and south western China are places where "real" tanks suddenly get rather useless outside of major highways due to mountains and swamps. A tank is better than no tank, even if its inferior to "real" tank.
What weapons could be used to increase these numbers across the board?
>>65133909Where do you get such a moderate wife?
>>65132939Can't risk the archeotech relic when there's a risk of ukrainian drones visiting the parade.
>>65133710>good for the planetTuapse videos say otherwise.I mean, I'm still for TZD, I'd just prefer it to be done with less damage to the environment.
>>65133813> but knowing flamingo's accuracy track recordWhat, you mean the ~80-90% accurracy?
>>65132705A photo like this with NATO troops would result in multiple officers being discharged and potentially the national leader resigned/being removed/lynched.Conversely, the Iran war is unpopular and the only negative affects to America have been gas prices and fewer dead than can be seen in that one picture alone. Atleast the Iran war has been militarily impressive.
The Spanish Tercios were widely regarded as one of the most elite military forces in Europe from the early 16th century into the mid 17th century

>>65132978The other Anon here. My my gripe was that 65116456 and 65120327 made it out that the french cavalry (or infantry) directly engaged and won against the spanish infantry. Which just wasn't the case.
>>65133842>My my gripe was that 65116456 and 65120327 made it out that the french cavalry (or infantry) directly engaged and won against the spanish infantry. Which just wasn't the case.They didn't have to, because at it's core that is the weakness (and always was) of pike and shot formations. Pikes are the stop gap solution and "evolutionary" dead end, shot part is good, but arty does it far better than infantry. Pike and shot is cheap to deploy and is an excellent choice for poor or/and small places, like myriads princedoms of HRE, but it should have been never used by big boys like France, because they had the means to use the specialized forces.
>>65133910France used Pike and Shot armies as well. They abolished the usage of the pike in 1703.
>>65133937I know, but they shouldn't use it to begin with, because the circumstances that lead to abolition of pike in 1703 existed in year they introduced them, because the ideal ratio of pikes to muskets is 0:1.

I'm an European anon and I can finally get a pistol. I can only own one for now and I want to get really good a it. My end goal is to be able to be proficient at shooting a subcompact 9mm for self defense. Should I start with something like a .22 LR or should I skip all together to a full size 9mm? I have a few experience shooting, I was in the navy in a non combat role for 3 years and shot a couple of mags with a CETME C like 3 times and a G36 4 times. I even shoot some old STAR pistol a couple of times, but I have zero experience outside of that and they really didn't teach me how to properly shoot. I'm a poorfag but I will try to train as much as possible, shooting one ammo box once a week is enough to get good? At some point I would like to get into IPSC too but I have to be in a club for a couple of years before I can join IPSC.
>>65131125Well shoot weaver not isosolces that's the main thing if you don't want to miss and be gay/dead
>>65133579honestly I hate my CZ75. I don’t like the way the trigger breaks on it and it’s unreliable, even with Speer 124 meanwhile everything else I have eats that stuff up like butter
>>65131125>for self defensedoes eu even have self defense laws?
>>65133927Mostly against it, but some post communist countries have pretty good gunlaws.

Romania seem to have bought their way into the NGSW program and might be the 2nd country to adopt the 6.8mm calibre.Is this a good deal for either party?
being blindly anti-sig is the most pseud shit
>>65133651You might not be anti-SIG but they are certainly anti-you.
>>65133649Textron did it right but they were being bitches with patents and service
>>65132343Isnt that not okay because youd need a 20" barrel and the Army wants suppressors?
>>65132343>.308More like .30 TC or a new bespoke cartridge along those lines. Which is essentially what we got anyway, just in the most jewish ham fisted way possible
I like these rifles. In fact, I like them so much, I consider getting a hunting license just to get one. How good is, say, a Kar98K for hunting deer?
>>65133655Ok so you bought them where? Your Saiga pricing leads me to think you're talking pre 2014 prices
>>65133389>tfw great-grandpa was in the Pacific Theater in WWII>brings back an Arisaka, bolt matches rifle even>does this to it while statesideI know he took deer with it but God damn this is awful.
>Aim where you want to hit under 100 yards>Aim a few inches above that past 100 yardsIt's literally that easy. There are few rifles so bad that you can't easily hit a deer's lungs up to 200 yards. If you're shooting further than that, you're the one with special needs, so why trash a rifle that only ever had to hit a man-sized target at 100 yards?
>>65133668>Ok so you bought them where?Various online stores, from Armoria to Eräaitta, et cetera.>Saigalol, you wish! Real deal civvie AKM from thelate 1980s.
>>65133930Post a single receipt because while I don't doubt that ammo has cost that little in the past decade, 2022 was not the cutoff. In 2021 alone .308 went up 50%. I know because I bought pic rel that year.>AKM Good for you I guess, I didn't have firearms before the gay cutoff point of 2017
