>The whole debate about the Booker and other airborne armorSo perhaps I'm just retarded... but wouldn't a better solution than mini tanks that need their own logistics train, factory, trained engineers/specialist crews etc be bigger cargo planes so you can just directly transport full size tanks? The C130 is getting pretty old by now anyway, but even if you did get a whole new airlift fleet of shiny new planes it's not like you can't keep using C130s for normal cargo runs. Am I just missing something obvious here, such as those pesky laws of physics, but with modern tech metallurgy etc. shouldn't it be possible to build a new cargo plane class specifically to fill the role of airlifting very heavy shit into areas with shitty runways? Not to mention the obvious benefits of "if you can carry full size tanks you can carry a lot more regular cargo too" and being able to cram much bulkier, if not heavier, things in there like AA systems/rocket artillery (in a "roll off and shoot" configuration)/full size shipping containers/etcBasically just a new boring workhorse for the military, minimal frills and mission creep just >Big durable cargo plane with huge lift capacity and built from the ground up to be as simple to maintain, reliable, and affordable to mass produce as possibleIt just seems to me that the whole debate about specialist airlift armor is missing the point when you can fix the carrier rather than the thing being carried.

>>64201708>they had them while they where spending over 2%lol no>they are still perfectly able tookay then Ukraine is safe and sound in the hands of the Europeans and the US withdrawing support is a nothingburger
>>64201683>the booker being able to be carried on a C-130 was a bigger deal that it initially sounds.The Booker and the MPF prototypes that preceded it were never at any point able or intended to be transported on a C-130. Decades earlier there had been work done on a program that was intended to result in a C-130-transportable AFV, among other things, but that program was canceled because it was determined that its protection level would unacceptably low for the environments in which it was intended to be deployed.
>>64199500>If anything the complaint I have is the smug Euros who try to act like they're superior for having their nice welfare systems and completely ignoring that the only reason they could afford that luxury was basically just ignoring the 5% defense spending thingI understand we have it because we use a single-payer system and half of the cost of employing somebody's just taxes related to healthcare and retirement plans.We basically straight up earn 50% less than we would under the US system. In any case, we already had that system in place during the Cold War.The 90s cuts to defense spending happened because the Neoliberals were very enamoured with the whole "End of History"-thing and tried to cut back on defense spending. Europe was just... more successful at it, as its international politics happened under the Pax Americana, which precluded it from making good of its international interests through force of arms anyway. Painting it like we we did it to fuck over the US is very out of touch and appropriate for out-of-touch brainlets like Trump and his donor.

A significant portion of the US is starting to question why AIPAC and Israel in general has so much influence over our government despite Israel being a shitty ally currently commuting an ethnic cleansing.

>>64201581Sorry to hear that, man. Are you the guy in Colorado? Prosthetics are getting better and better, so maybe you’ll be able to hop back in to shooting later on down the line. In the meantime, I’d recommend learning how to shoot with your non-dominant hand as >>64201602 suggested. Maybe I’m biased because I’m naturally left handed, but I’ve had to learn to do a bunch of shit with my right hand, and I don’t feel clumsy at any of it.

>>64201642I think comparing an densely populated slum which the kikes can't properly genocide due to a combination of cowardice and incompetence to a sparsely populated expanse of fertile steppe with a hundred times more acres of wheat and cattle than people which the Russians can't conquer due to a combination of drunkenness and incompetence isn't really accurate. Also Russia is full of Chabad jews including the Prime Minster who larps as Orthodox.
