Space Delta 3, USSF's space electronic warfare unit, is getting a space EW weapon. The ground-based Meadowlands system from L3Harris is intended to jam chinese and russian satellites in the opening stages of a conflict.

>As of last month it has "completed all system-level verification testing" and is "on track for delivery next year," Space Systems Command said in a statement to Bloomberg News. Between January and March, the Space Force will assess when the first five of a planned 32 weapons can be declared operational. https://archive.is/braig

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/s-korea-to-use-homegrown-transmission-for-k2-tanks/ar-AA1t36JZ
>SEOUL, Oct. 28 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's defense authorities approved on Monday a plan to build K2 battle tanks with a homegrown transmission system, the state arms procurement agency said.

>Under the plan endorsed by the Defense Project Promotion Committee, K2 tanks will be equipped with a locally developed power pack, which comprises the transmission and the engine, starting from the fourth batch of production that will be built by 2028, according to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).

>"The K2 battle tank's power pack will be completely localized and is anticipated to contribute to a smooth munitions support process as well as overseas exports going forward," DAPA said in a release.
>The K2 was first built with a German-design power pack, and the arms procurement agency has been pushing to replace the power pack with a locally developed one.


What are the advantages of having a fully localized powerpack in the export market?

Reminder that these tanks were put up for sale by the Slovenian MoD at something like 300k per tank (iirc). There were no buyers except for one Czech collector that bought one example iirc.

The USSR was giving away AKMs because they were being replaced with AK-74s, they have never given away 5.45 rifles at the same scale because it's their current service cartridge.
>>
>>62784293
personally prefer the 74 for a very simple reason. 5.45 is stupidly flat shooting in terms of trajectory, so it makes zeroing it at realistic engagement distances a piece of piss. zero the optic at 100m, and it will be fine out to around 300m at least.
>>
>>62784293
AKM because you can’t find cheap 7n6 anymore.
>>
>>62784979
Hard cover sure but it sucks against soft cover unironically. Bush will fuck up 5.45

A .32 bullet bottlenecked into a 9mm casing that has a .30 meplat that weighs between 80 grains to 100 grains that travels at 1600fps minimum, preferably at 1800fps if possible from a 4inch barrel.

The wide .30 meplat would take advantage of cavitation at high speed. And since its a lightweight bullet little muzzle flip occurs.

Bruh, how can you say that an increase in nearly 550fps holds no ballistic advantage whatsoever, even the army uses 1320fps flat nose 9mm. https://www.ammunitiontogo.com/750rds-9mm-winchester-active-duty-115gr-fmj-m1152-ammo

>>62777594
Very interesting. I think that it may duplicate 7.62x25mm Tokarev in a different form and, now, my personal conspiracy theory is that the Soviets in the 1930 have surely chosen this cartridge after _extensive_ testing on "live targets" - so to speak. It's probably very effective (they later replaced it with 9x18 just because they went for a small and light package in their backup weapons)

this isn't an argument, nor is your inability to know that you can just stick a different projectile in almost any caliber to change its terminal performance.

The Army uses flat nose because they have to. There's no reason not to use a minimally expanding JHP like Critical Duty if you have the option to do so.

>The Army uses flat nose because they have to.
They don't use flat nose because they have to, they use it because they want to and because its beneficial, in some ballistic gelatin videos you can clearly see it tears apart gelatonin because of it.

Many threads discussing infantry squad, platoon and company tactics often go very similar to tactics described in field manuals with full strength units and highly motivated soldiers. Often times in the real world however, platoons will typically be half to 2/3rds strength or even less, with many squads and "tactical groups" having to be formed ad hoc because the actual squads and platoons have been attrited so badly.

My questions are, what are truly the most ideal squad sizes and platoon make ups with this problem of attrition in mind? And how unit leaders actually do things like movement and maneuver in combat when working with such an ad hoc force?

This aspect seems to be such a major part of combat experience written about by many soldiers after fighting in a war, and yet there is so little information or attention given to it in things like field manuals, with said FM's always assuming that you should always be at full strength which seems to rarely ever be the case.

They're not, as I said many posts ago:
>>62785212

If you lose at any unit level casualties amounting to a full element, you already need to start consoldiating and combining that element, OR reorganise e.g. if a battalion loses a company, it should ideally be pulled off the line, if it continues fighting it is really fighting as a half-battalion rather than as a nominal battalion i.e. have to be given smaller missions

You can lose maybe 1 guy in 10 or 2 in 10 and absorb individual replacements fine but more than that starts getting serious

>Ww1

>Germans
There are a hundred reasons why the Germans lost, from oil to wunderwaffle to bombing etc ad nauseam, you cannot attribute overall German performance to one factor

Anything else?
>>
>>62785769
>you cannot attribute overall German performance to one factor
For the purposes of explaining the advantages of the replacement depot system, it works fine
Germans literally repeated the same thing that the Americans experienced in WW1 as a result of following the same system

The repple depple system had many faults, but attrition was not one of them
>>
>>62785842
>the reason why German infantry divisions took heavy casualties is solely because of their replacement system and nothing else at all

nta but if you want a modlite the PLHV2 is their balanced offering. You can see it comapred to an M600 here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJD44ZOKyLM
You can also get a PLHV2 head with an arisaka 600 body which is slim and whatever tailcap + pressure pad you want (if you even want one) from the arisaka website's light builder section.
https://arisakadefense.com/18650-series-lightkit/
The Rein 2.0 also has pretty similar performance to the PLHV2 but it's a warmer color tone.
You also get an all in one package.
The only caveat is you are stuck with using Rein's ecosystem which is pretty bare.
The Rein's use a surefire mounting footprint though so you can use whatever mount you want. as long as it's a surefire footprint which is pretty much industry standard anyway.
