>US Under Secretary of State Thomas G. DiNanno:>"China has conducted nuclear explosive tests, including preparing for tests with designated yields in the hundreds of tons… China has used decoupling, a method to decrease the effectiveness of seismic monitoring, to hide its activities from the world. China conducted one such yield producing nuclear test on June 22, 2020.">The size of the blasts and decoupling are consistent with Chinese developmental testing for 4th Generation nuclear weapons.>That is, pure fusion nuclear devices which do not use either plutonium or highly enriched uranium fission to start fusionCan any anons explain? Are those just Hydrogen bombs but with smaller 1st stage fission?: https://x.com/i/status/2019814148188803461
>>64851516That's not how thermonuclear fusion works. You increase the size of an H-bomb by staging. Much like how the chemical explosives initiate and sustain fission the fission reaction produces the environment needed for fusion, then that fusion can be perpetuated in larger "stages" an arbitrary number of times though size increases and reliability decreases with stages. Triple stage weapons are considered completely reliable but were never fielded. A pure Fusion weapon would simply be skipping fission part an instead initiating small fusion reaction which could then be staged to initiate further reactions.
>>64853164Since Gen4 doesn't specifically mean "without fission" the techniques for a pure fusion device could be applied to increase the efficiency of a fission-fusion device of a given volume. Size actually does matter for strategic weapons since it means you could put more MIRVs on a missile.

I firmly believe the only good optic for an ar15 is the T2 + g33 magnifier combo
>>64854295
>>64854370Nah it's a COG+piggyback dot, but T2+G33 is close.
>>64854379>nah it’s the super short eye relief + plus the extremely high HOB chinweldIt’s definitely not
>>64854383>super short eye reliefskill issue
"Hypersonic" missiles are a memeUkraine achieved a 89% interception rate last night and keep in mind this is on the lower end
>>64854257They aren't hypersonic
>>64854257> Ukraine achieved a 89% interception rateactually they have a 220% interception rate, but putlet cheated and used dark magic to destroy Ukraine's power grid.
>>64854257
>>64854269>destroy Ukraine's power gridDidn't they already do that in 2023? How was there a power grid to destroy in 2026?Very curious.
Ballistic missiles from any range are a great leg to a nation’s potential nuclear triad. Ballistic missiles with conventional warheads are just silly. You could get some hypersonic glide vehicles to stick on em and then you can reliably shrink your CEP, but your still hammering in a nail with a meteor impact. In a retard war like Ukraine I could see something like this being neat if say, you knew where a VIP was going to be within a certain window of time. Outside of that they’re great for pretending you’re going to push through AEGIS and sink a carrier I guess. I’m far more interested in agile hypersonics and how DARPA will apply that strange quiet boom tech since Amerisharts are apparently the only fucking country that is innovating materials sciences.
MP5
>>64853125Its unfortunate but I got my SP5 for $2500 and got a $150 giftcard to HK store with it I think. I was really happy with that deal. SBR'd it and got it engraved by the GOATs at Tar Heel in Matthews NC. Love that gun, runs so damn good. It has never once jammed on me. 100% worth it as a long term investment in an HK, which always hold their value, there will come a day when they eventually stop importing these and then prices will skyrocket up. We're lucky we can even import these from Germany. Given how hostile they are about not letting us have a G36 (Even in semi auto), we've seen how they cucked down the UMP 45 and SL8 rifles are. >>64853152There is just something special about having a real imported from Germany SP5 with the HK roll marks and proof stamps. I have handled both and found the SP5 to be of higher build quality, fit and finish. Granted it should be for what we're paying. To me its a buy once cry once, not a gun I ever plan to sell, something I paid $200 to SBR (well before the $0 stamps) so I wanted it to be the "real deal". Well, as close as one can get without paying $100k for a factory full auto pre 86 transferable MP5.
>>64852703>More magsI was trying to bias it a bit more towards low profile>>64852768So I really like my SLEDS Drip 9 rig, super easy re-indexing and insertion of mags etc, but I actually really don't like my SLEDS-K placard. Maybe I can fuck with it a little, but the tegris at the openings catches on mags during reinsertion/re-indexing and mags it hard to put mags in. Also the hook on the rear is super weak and poor quality. It is clearly different spec hook than the hook I see on other pieces of kit from CRYE or others etc. Bummer because I really wanted a chest placard that could do AR 5.56 mags, 5.56 AK mags, and 7.62x39 AK mags. >>64853137army pilot grape >>64853143>>64853152It should be noted that the MAC (Mertsav) MP5s are NOT identical to the MKE ones. I had a MAC MP5k and after 6000 rounds the chrome on the bolt was flaking off, the whole thing had rattles, it came with a sussy receiver weld/crack looking thing near the magwell, and worst of all the trigger pack just straight up died after 6k rounds. Not sure what exactly broke, but it would just hammer follow auto, completely non-functioning disconnector. Either disconnector spring or sear engagement surface wore down, not sure. It was funny because A2 was like stop being a cheap jew and just spend the extra ~$150 for an MKE but I reasoned how different could two Turkish MP5s be... Comment too long.

>>64853143Call me when those faggots sell an unfucked MP5 AND an SD variant. Until then, MKE reigns supreme.

"the best tank of the early 1920s to see service in WW2".Is it fair to say its overrated?
>>64853250Pretty sure it had a radio.
>>64853241>It basically set the design template for most tanks afterwards to this very dayNo, not at allMaybe you're thinking about the FT-17
The B1 is tactically dangerous for its armour and armament, but strategically weak for its lack of mobility. A Panzer 2 could maintain 40km/hr crusing. A B1 could accelerate to 28km/hr, but had both a slow acceleration and inability to maintain that speed. War is about being in the right place at the right time, or as the funny quote goes "firstest with the mostest"
>>64854096>furthered Germany's own belief that they needed heavy tanks.Which was a mistake, reallyThey just needed more integrated anti-tank weapons

German last-ditch>"Hans, use these Panzerfausts to kill as many T-34s as you can, and try shooting around corners with the Krummlauf. Try not to die."Japanese last-ditch>"Ror, kirr yourserf."
>>64854278The Nippons on the mainland literally had school teachers drilling pre-teen children to fight to the death with bamboo spears in preparation for massed suicide charges against invading yanks.The hardliners in Nipponistan tried to engineer an apocalyptic scenario where Japan and the US would fight some grand and unimaginably brutal meat-grinder battle where the japs would either win or be completely wiped out.The hardliners considered this scenario to be preferable to any kind of surrender, since they'd keep their "honor" intact regardless of if they lost or not, and in the extremely unlikely scenario that they'd win (US refusing to shove more of their boys into a retarded meat grinder), the Japs would be able to negotiate "favorable" peace, allowing them to claim some kind of "victory" on paper, even if they lost control of everything but the home islands and their own government.
>>64854278yeah I was just reading a manga about the schoolgirls they drafted super fucked up, I can't imagine the trauma they carried until their dying day
>>64854282That's just confucianism baby. China was so bad they aborted all their girls and giga fucked their demographics. Ironically that's causing things to bounce back there because that gave women insane leverage in demand. Korea wound up being in the middle ground where they were more heavily influenced than Japan, but not so hard that the pendulum could ricochet like China. Something like megalia arising in a country like that was just inevitable. If half the population is treated like shit, they aren't going to just sit there and take it.
>>64854301The Himeyuri students weren't drafted, they thought they were going to serve at red cross hospitals away from the fighting. Instead they were sent to the frontline in the battle of Okinawa as ammunition carriers and medics. >I can't imagine the trauma they carried until their dying day211 students and 16 teachers died out of the 222 students and 18 teachers part of the nursing unit. The surviving 11 students and 2 teachers must have the severe levels of PTSD.
>>64844302Konichiwa, dude!
Found an AI slop war channel sucking in gullible boomers and polititards featuring a fake WW2 veteran that's suppossedly 104-years-old, giving interviews about how he hates non-white people. Shitty fake photos throughout the video feature Japanese soldiers in US uniforms executing US servicemen, beheadings, live grenades and firearms exploding yet staying intact, etc. Yeesh!
>>64854107Look at the lil nigga in the back with Tojo glasses lmao
>>64853789>Why do oldfarts and boomers even fall for AI slop?I'm getting up there in years and from observations of my now dead father, it's due to how limited media was back in the day.You had a couple of newspapers and maybe a TV channel or two.What was written in the newspapers and they all printed the exact same shit was "the truth". They couldn't even fathom that somebody would outright lie and bullshit like a motherfucker.So that mindset lives on only now there's endless amounts of slop everywhere and it looks real enough for them not to question anything at all.
>>64854335This is why the mainland is currently called West Taiwan by anyone with at least a shred of legitimacy to their name.
>>64854367I prefer Communist occupied China.
>>64854368We need to crush and dominate COC on the battlefield. If COC gets uppity, strangle its supply, choke it, throttle it.
Is this a good armor? With a helm of course
>>64848931better in what way, exactly? plastic shit that doesn't even have a purpose of looking like real mail is hardly good
>>64847329nobody worn mail sleeves that loose, if you couldn't afford tailored mail to your size you'd just get a short sleeved shirt instead
>>64854317It's not loose, that's the aventail of his helmet.

>>64849067>Norman force of Christianized vikings invadedthe invading Norman army was only a third from Normany, the rest being French and Flemings.the French where a collection of various second and third sons drawn in by the promise of land.the Flemings came from Willem's father in law the count of Flanders.the Flemish would end up being settled up north and in Scotland after Willem was done harrying the north.the arrow that killed Harold Godwinson was probably shot by a Flemish archer since they made up a large part of their contingent. in short the the anglo-saxons lost to the very thing that got them england in the first place and what every ruler of england has feared since, a strong alliance from the continent

Are there any Ruby magazines that work with IS stamped pistols other than IS stamped magazines? I looked on the internet and couldn't find any that matched my pistol, and I was curious if there are any with known tolerances that are close enough to work fine

Been rocking my E. German early 80s stichern pants out and about in the freezing weather the last month. Feels comfy.
>>64853551 NVA stuff is always very comfy. Durable, non constrictive, but also just slightly snug. Quite nice.
>>64851324Cool. I’ve always wondered how many Chinese SKS’ made in the 60s saw action in Vietnam. Seeing your post made me check the serials on my 2 Chinese SKS’. Pic related is Factory 906 with a 1.7 million serial. The one in the photo that I used in my 1st reply is a factory 26 with a 4 digit serial and a “W” prefix, which according to research puts it at around 1960 I guess. Obviously went through a refurbishment at some point, but still retains a 1 piece gas tube. The scope and mount were slapped on by the Chinese prior to import. It surprisingly holds zero.
