how does their society not react at all to sending hundreds of thousands of men to die horribly for some boomer trying to play HOI4 irl? You would think only somewhere like north korea could get away with this level of submission.

>>61201508>Road airfieldsThis isnt a viable solution for UK or Germany, they each have around 200 fighter aircraft. Parking them at the side of the autobahn/M1 is fine for a few sorties but anything more just isnt realistic.Also a massive missile strike is likley to be carried out imediately in case of war, most combat aircraft will be sat in the hangers at the side of those airbases.
>>61196789> The operation of Taurus requires immense data processing, "It's not about giga- or Terabytes but extremely high data volumes which require specialized systemsIt’s a fucking missile, what the hell is it going to process?

Can someone tell me what rifle was used here?
>>61200859>only the military aspectLmao wrong place, this is k/eddit for a reason after all
>>61201554Probably the AM-50 Sayyad, its an iranian weaponbut please don't post gore/actual killings in my thread, thanks
>>612007922 Tier tank. not western T1 not a T3 thridy shit bucket. Carried by the fact it's used fo Police action 97% of the time and never has to face any difficult terrain and is never deployed more than 100km from a repair shop.The troops seem to be averaging upper middle eastern standard. Terrible but ok considering the enemy. A competent enemy or current standard AT weapon would have made Gaza a graveyard. But Hamas firecrackers don't even scratch the paint so they are pretty lucky. No efp no idea etc. but they don't need anything more so probably a solid investment. Met the goal without going to much over.
Ignore the derail attempt by the bigger above Why does the Merkava carry more machineguns than most other MBTs?
https://files.catbox.moe/4stqpy.mp4since small drone warfare is really new its extremely interesting watching it evolve in realtimeTalking from an aviation entusiast pov, what is the optimal payload weight for portable drones? i find it hard to believe thats more than 1 kg since every bit of weight really hinders those small motors and smaller batteries,

did this retarded exchange really begin because a retard doesn't understand the "100%" figure in context?
>>61201701I don't hate /k. But I honestly despise our fanboys on the internet, especially the American ones who tend to dumb down this war to the level they can grasp.
>>61201495>Russia has taken catastrophic losses.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FozvYM2Zhpw [Yeah you weren't joking. Those are some insane losses. By 2025 they'll run out of towed artillery if they continue at this rate.

>>61201521of course it is. >>61201562just a cool historical fact, no need to get your panties in a bunch.
>>61201616>of course it isI would be willing to go as far as to say that in the entire history of warfare that nobody has ever impaled 6 men (who were alive as they became 'paled) at a single time and nobody ever will.There are no man-kebabs on the battlefield.
>>61201462Something out front of the front line that forces the Calvary to loose their speed. >Barriers that force the horses to leap and land right into spikes or have to approach slowly. This layered with dudes chucking spears once the Calvary are forced to stop the charge

Bros are medium esapis actually 5.5lbs? Do you REALLY need to wear backers? I guess it's certainly a risk reward thing, but if I get shot 3 times in the chest with 7.62 AP idk if the alleged deformation protection is gonna help much realistically.
>>61196571Literally who
>>61201496The cyclic rate of a 240 is >1000rpm if you get hit with one burst you’re taking 10 rounds center mass. If you’re getting shot at by a platoon to company-strength force you have 30-150 people potentially shooting at you. If a claymore goes off within 15 feet of you you’re getting hit with >300 ball bearings. The lethal radius of a M67 is 5 meters. 81mm mortars is 35 meters, 155mm arty is 50m.Multi-hit ratings exist because war isn’t a duel between two individuals 10 paces apart each firing one shot
>>61201540Point taken. I guess it's "mission specific" for sure.
Bros I need your honest opinions. I received my 2 Highcom 4sas7's yesterday and they were VERY mildly damaged during shipping. Both plates were individually packed inside bubble mailers, then they were stacked in a cardboard box separated by additional cardboard. The problem is there wasn't enough packing material to keep them from moving side-to-side so the plates apparently banged around enough in the box to wear a hole through the mailer, through the box, and through the covering on the plates. I contacted the seller and basically said look, I know these are meant to get shot at but they're "delicate" and arrived damaged. They took responsibility and they want me to send these plates back in exchange for a new set. Is this enough cause for concern that you'd say it's worth it to exchange them or should I just keep them and ask for some type of compensation credit? Structurally I'm not finding any issues, but I mean damn these things could've dropped off a truck and busted through the box for all I know. What would you guys do? Pic related.

>>61199722Honestly I get the best art advice through autistic people in discord how to fix specific details. /ic/ these last few years just give the default answers which aren't helpful in case to case. I blame the big post 2014 changes everywhere across the website.
In the sense that both sides generally played by the rules more often than not, did not throw double-digit percentages of their whole population into meat grinders, were willing to use diplomacy, and knew when it was time to call off the war.
War is madness.It should be accepted as such.
>>61200924>may I see it>NO!uhuh yeahI know the answer already, fuckwits, I was just leading you on to teach you why one shouldn't build speculation on top of speculation, or repeat speculation as if they're facts. it's just one theoretical model for ancient combat which we have no actual proof for. the other model is simply that the superior side inflicted a higher casualty ratio until eventually attrition AS WELL AS morale took its toll. and the casualties inflicted in the rout are nowhere near "90%". best argument we have based on Greek and Roman battles is 1/2 or 2/3rds.
>>61198255Look up a couple battles that were one sided stomps, a couple draws and a couple hard fought ones that ended with one side finally losing.You will notice that draws usually have comparatively low casualties while stomps and hard fought battles have higher casualties. But counter intuitively hard fought battles have lopsided casualties like stomps.The reason as others have explained to you already is that infantry is very vulnerable during a rout and prone to surrender.
>>61201468>the other model is simply that the superior side inflicted a higher casualty ratio until eventually attrition AS WELL AS morale took its toll.That doesn't measure up with the accounts and casuality figures of a lot of battles.We can also verify both theories with more recent battles and campaigns. It's pretty clear that a rout has the potential for massive casualty figures even today.tl;dr: Faggot.
>>61201523>But counter intuitively hard fought battles have lopsided casualties like stomps.the ratio of (reliably reported) casualties for one-sided stomps is not the same as that of hard-fought battles>>61201633>We can also verify both theories with more recent battles and campaigns.Uhuhand attrition was even, was it, until the rout occurred?>That doesn't measure upIt does, and it is one of the suggested scenariosYou fuckwits just ran with the more fantastical option because it appealed to your fancy
Hey /k/, what weird shit do you have (or would like to have) for home-defence? Guns are hard to get in my country so I've gone with psychological warfare. Right as you enter my apartment, you will see on your right a hat-rack filled entirely with fetish gear, dildos, and a kids plushy on top for extra decoration. I've only had one break in, where nothing was missing, and only the lock was damaged. When I have a property inspection I pack it into a box and place it in the wardrobe, takes all of 2 minutes to pack up, and redeployment takes a further 2 minutes. It is a very capable & practical residential security system.
>>61199395>Halo brute>Cowadooty sniperMGMI
>>61199395I don't live anywhere with home invasions (nobody has even bothered to steal my bike even if it's on my porch unlocked all the time). But I also live in a place where home defence with a gun is doubleplusungood. I have a long hallway so a polearm would probably be ideal
>>61199395>When I have a property inspection
>>61199395Dragon dildos hanging from the ceiling. Beside my bed, I keep a g-string thong to wear backwards and olive oil to put on, focusing extra on my balls, for when I face the invader.

How do you protect your petroleum infrastructure from hundreds of cheap, long range precision suicide drones?Is it unironically over for Russia or is there anything they can do? What kinds of systems does Russia have that could help with their SHORAD problem around these oil refineries?Is it unironically over for Russia if they can't protect their oil infrastructure?
>>61189630>using spare partsLmfao so any machines that break now don't have a spare part stockpileYou've traded a working machine in one place for a demolished one in another
>>61201402>And those production (pumping) facilities are in far away shitholes which can't be reached by drones.Yes of course. Everybody knows to destroy the production facilities you need three Azerbaijani mujaheddin
