Book on the Su-75.

Light tactical aircraft T-75

Work on the creation of a light tactical aircraft (LTS T-75, "The Checkmate") began at the Sukhoi Design Bureau on its own initiative in 2015. Based on the results of scientific and practical work on the rational composition of the aviation group, an aircraft concept was proposed. The main aspects of which were the creation of a modern aircraft designed primarily for strike missions, but at the same time possessing high survivability rates, as well as providing a significant reduction in operating costs. In fact, an aircraft with the functionality of a fighter-bomber (similar to the Su-17 and MiG-27) was needed, but with a modern level of characteristics and new properties.

From 2015 to 2019, more than 20 alternative layout options were developed, taking into account various options for the composition of onboard equipment and weapons. The main areas of research were:

- determining the impact on the appearance of low visibility, the number of engines, the composition of the complex -
equipment and aviation weapons;
- research of alternative aerodynamic configurations.

At the first stage, institutes of the Russian Ministry of Defense were involved in joint research, based on the results of joint work with them, the main requirements for the aircraft were formed. The most rational options were recognized as those using individual properties of the 5th generation and ensuring a significant reduction in life cycle costs, which confirmed the correctness of the initially chosen development directions.

UAP's are doing reconnaissance as we speak, how would you even fight them? they switch direction at an instant with lightspeed and go underwater from the air back to orbit with no problem, reverse engineering is beyond us and even just being in the vicinity of them apparently gives soldiers PTSD and insomnia.

Needs are irrelevant.
A population focused on dominance and conquest regardless of any need to do so, will fundamentally out-compete any populations that do not focus on these factors. You can not win a race, unless you actually take part in it. If you don't compete, you'll ALWAYS lose.
That means there will always be a constant selective pressure for domination and power and superiority, regardless of if you need it or not. That also means that any successful species out there will have these traits in them, or else they would have been out-competed by a population that did have them. Again, you can not out-compete if you refuse to compete in the first place. Any competition at all, means you lose, unless you put in the effort to dominate.
Take the US as an example again. If the US stops enforcing its power, stops fighting wars, stops enforcing diplomacy, stops maintaining its superpower status, it will collapse in a matter of years, if not decades. Replaced by whichever power manages to compete their way to become a replacement. The US either fights for dominance, or it stops being dominant.

Just deport the Ayys's

A long bolt travel behind the magazine widens the weapon's operating window on a given bolt initial velocity thereby mitigating both harsh recoil from overgassing and short stroking from undergassing at the same time.
Camming extraction and chambering reduces force required for chambering and extracting by providing leverage and also provides a slower extraction velocity.
A pre-engagement stop shelf reduces total BCG sliding friction when picking up a round from the magazine.

All of these features significantly increase firearm reliability and do not have any downsides. There is no reason not to include them in any automatic rifle design, other than the fact that many weapons designers don't really even know about them.

Given that all of these features were found in WW2 staples like the Garand or the MP-40, any weapon designer after that who did not include them in his military rifle design is simply a hack.

I know, it's like a gun which chucks little spears at that point (and it very quickly WRECKS the barrel to shoot it out of water, so they don't want you to do it much), but the point was that the rifle would be able to if it had to, and then it turns out to not actually matter.
Sling an AKs-74 across your back and then draw it when emerging if you gotta fight on land all of a sudden, it'll do all it needs to.

>>62894961
Perhaps in earlier days, but they definitely would carry more magazines over time, as the magazines themselves gradually became lighter (thick steel, light steel, aluminum, then bakelite), and then eventually the ammunition too as they moved to 5.45mm. It's very easy to carry seven magazines with you for your AK-74.

No they won’t. This is a very range restricted poorfag way to counter jamming of command links and GNSS. They will still play a role in avoiding blue on blue in specific situations, but generally we likely will see fully automated drones using TERCOM to get into position.

The ones Russia uses have up to 10km of range. The only limit is the size and weight of the fiber spool, so in theory a bigger drone could travel hundreds of kms without any signal loss. Of course that wouldn't be practical for a variety of reasons, but it's possible.

Force field, energy shield, force shield, energy bubble, energy barrier or deflector shield.

What are the possible examples of such things that could be achieved in the real world? Plasma shields? Some sort of energy converter shield? We've had theoretical ones mentioned a few years ago but nothing has come out.

Or will things just remain 'put armour on these things and hope it works' situation? Or, possibly 'just go fast and hope you're not hit' situation? I don't mean only personal shields, but shields for vehicles and stuff like that. Is anything even in the realms of possibility?

The "realistic" version of this would be active armor (as oppose to reactive armor). It's be like lining your entire vehicle with trophy APS. Incoming projectile is detected, outer layer of armor bursts to intercept the incoming projectile, the second layer is electrified to turn anything it touches into diffuse plasma, and the third layer is just a slab to catch the rest.

The SiAW is a tactical air-to-surface missile with a shorter range than standoff weapons.

It's intended to attack relocatable targets like anti-satellite systems, cruise missile launchers, and GPS jamming platforms.

According to the US Air Force, the SiAW system will provide the capability to strike rapidly relocatable targets that create the Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environment for 5th-generation and Future Advanced Aircraft.

SiAW targets include Theater Ballistic Missile Launchers, Land Attack and Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Launchers, Jammers, Anti-Satellite Systems, and Integrated Air Defense Systems.

The SiAW missile system is being developed under a Digital Acquisition (DA) approach emphasizing agility and innovation.

Northrop Grumman’s SiAW solution can be integrated on various aircraft and leverages lessons learned on the Navy’s AARGM-ER and integration work on the F-35 aircraft.

It also features a tail-controlled missile for increased maneuverability and survivability.

Northrop Grumman is investing in maturing and testing its SiAW design solution to ensure it meets US Air Force requirements while facilitating rapid capability delivery to the warfighter.

Let's put aside the usual repartie for a moment. What are the defenses of this bridge? If it's still standing i guess russians packed the vicinity full of PDs and the radar coverage is enough to make your hair fall. Am i correct? But if that was the case, then russians would gloat nonstop about how their impenetrable shield is swatting away ukranian ordnance, which is afaik not the case. So what's the reason? Why hasn't ukraine attacked the bridge with a more consistent force? Is it because they think the front lines are priority? Then again it wouldn't justify why they hit power plants and ammo depots thousands of kms away from donetsk
>>
>>62889057
None of Ukraine's weapons can take this out which is why it still exists today. Barely any of NATO's weapons can take this out. It's an extremely well designed bridge. Maybe if the US used bunker busters on every single segment that might work.

complete cope. More than anything else, this war is the result of the legacy of tsarist russia, most importantly the formulation of the ideologies of pan-slavism and official nationality, and their inability to cope with the fall of the Soviet Union. If this was not the case, then the invasion in 2022 would not have occurred as Ukraine was likely going to throw-in the towel and let Russia keep Crimea and the Donbas in order to pursue NATO and EU membership, allowing the Russians to keep their dominance in the European energy market. The fact of the matter is that this war is being waged in order to achieve ideological rather than geopolitical goals, and whatever they might accomplish in regards to the latter would have been thought of as being icing on the cake.

Whats the answer to these swarm drones if they are unloaded in the field? Maybe not densely packed like this, but separated by 50 meters. Each drone carrying an explosive device and some onboard gun with some arbitrary bullet count and high accuracy rating on each shot at a greater than 2 x meat shield range.

Huge nets. I'm thinking like, military grade T shirt cannon, 4 barrels with big weights, splayed out like two intersecting Vs, then like make the net itself out of a ~1-2" weave of kevlar or something and yeet it into the air.

4 barrels would be adjustable angle to change how far you can sling the net before it's fully deployed.

You'd pry need several but I'm thinking like one net could be made the size of a football field or something.
>>
>>62897241
Or hell it doesn't even need to be a projectile just hire two grunts one on each side to run along the battlefield with a giant tennis net between them and like 200ft poles to sweep the area. If a person couldn't handle the height/weight just slap them on some Humvees.

or drag a flying net below a couple of slightly larger more capable drones and fly thru the swarm.

Nets people, the answer has to be nets.
>>
>>62891462
Depends on the drones and the size of the swarm. If we assume that those swarms do not require a command link, jamming could potentially make the swarm less effective by shutting down communication between the involved drones. Then you would probably use a combination of purpose built drones, DEW and ABM AAA to destroy the drones. All have pros and cons, so using them in conjunction should yield optimal results.
Turns out that that’s exactly what most western militaries are developing/introducing at this time.
