No ILA Berlin thread? Is anybody visiting? Quite a lot of interesting stuff from what I can see on Twitter. In the picture, an Airbus U145 (unmanned version of the H145 helicopter) equipped with Quantum System drone interceptors.
>>65227569Good on Europe for that than. It'll probably drive down the costs for heavy lift launches even further
>>65227451That looks pretty cool, but is there a real need for autonomous/manned cross-overs? I feel like there's little overlap between the kind of thing you'd want as a quick response unmanned vehicle and the kind of thing you'd want to stuff a human into, but I guess the only difference between a prop plane and a prop drone of that size is the pilot's seat so fuck it why not slap one in?
>>65227639I guess it makes it easier to operate in a mixed environment, say intercepting lost drones over Estonia, while you can send it unmanned in more dangerous situations.

Let's not get bogged down by tech, and just assume a roughly late medieval tier metallurgy.How do you think would different fantasy physiologies affect the weapons they use (or others use against them)? Most settings seem to just give other races mostly normal human weaponry and armour while giving them some more unified visual theme, without really considering the efficacy of the equpment in their hands.Take dwarves for example. Short stature, bulky builds, high strength and endurance. Would poor reach and short arms make swung weapons ineffective? Would they need to rely exclusively on polearms if they were put against normal sized humans?What about giant races, say 3 metre tall humanoids, what would be the most effective way for them to fight against normal sized people?
>And men saw his sails coming up out of the sunset, dyed as with scarlet and gleaming with red and gold, and fear fell upon the dwellers by the coasts, and they fled far away. But the fleet came at last to that place that was called Umbar, where was the mighty haven of the Numenoreans that no hand had wrought. Empty and silent were all the lands about when the King of the Sea marched upon Middle-earth. For seven days he journeyed with banner and trumpet, and he came to a hill, and he went up, and he set there his pavilion and his throne; and he sat him down in the midst of the land, and the tents of his host were ranged all about him, blue, golden, and white, as a field of tall flowers. Then he sent forth heralds, and he commanded Sauron to come before him and swear to him fealty.>And Sauron came. Even from his mighty tower of Barad-dur he came, and made no offer of battle. For he perceived that the power and majesty of the Kings of the Sea surpassed all rumour of them, so that he could not trust even the greatest of his servants to withstand them; and he saw not his time yet to Comment too long.

>>65224760Okay but I've got my eye on you.
>>65226134>Tolkien evades the problem by depicting orcs as clever and not really primitive, just evil and uglyI kind of like how this meshes with the Tolkien's idea that Orcs are twisted and corrupted descendents of Elves.Even in Tolkien, there was the idea that Orcish works were fiendish but crude and ugly. This isn't because they can't create finely crafted items, it's because they don't like that poncy shit.An orcish weapon is crude because it's meant to be an affront to the fancy-pancy elves, a mockery of their aesthetic and their pride in craftsmanship.

>>65228567And I would still suckle on those itty bitty titties like they were milk filled udders any day
>>65228584LEWD
>>65228584Unrelated but is it an actual fact that smaller breasted women have less milk? I get that larger breasts equals healthier woman or whatever the fuck, but I don’t see why a flat woman couldn’t lactate. Is there a scientific study about it or something?Asking for me
>>65229004Technically speaking yes but not enough to actually make as much of a difference as you'd think. Breasts are mostly fat, mammary glands are fairly compact. Large breasted women can potentially store more milk than smaller breasted women between feedings, but smaller breasted women with lower storage capacity can produce more milk since regular emptying of the breasts triggers more milk production. In short, it really wouldn't make much difference when it comes to feeding a baby, too little milk production would be a hormonal issue, not a breast size issue.
Hey guys, I recently bought my first gun, a ruger mk4 tactical (and I live in sweden so even a .22lr plinker is a huge thing here). Thing is im having issues - i get a lot of stovepipes, brass getting caught by the bolt coming forward, and occasionally the last round bolt hold open doesnt engage, it just clicks closed.Im running really cheap ammo, so I can shoot a lot, but its a problem during competitions.I figure it might be that the stock spring on the Mk4 is a bit too heavy for the cheap ammo? Does that sound right?
>>65226460>don't use wimpy American outdated .22 rong lifle, use the new and implessive Chinese .23 rong lifle
>>65226342Take the rail off if you're not actually using an optic.Take it down, clean it, and give it fresh lubrication.Try different ammo.
Its either the ammo, no lube, or a bad mag.
>>65226342it's one of 1. not broken in yet. .2. lubricate and work the slide a bit more. 3. Get some Eley or CCI mini mags, those both work perfect. Try different ammo before you start trying to diagnose your gun.
>>65226342Make sure you're not running it with the factory grease or whatever they coat the bolt in from the factory. Field strip the bolt, clean it with a CLP or equivalent, and re-assemble oiling the outside of the bolt so that it's wet, but not dripping in oil. It's also possible that your cheap ammo is under-powered. Some types of ammo are meant for bolt-actions and revolvers only, thus won't properly cycle the semi-auto. Even if you only buy a small 50-round box, try CCI Standard Velocity 45gr round nose. My Mk4 loves that stuff. Ruger's aren't immune to issues, but try these things first before chasing other leads.
Okay, but seriously HOW do you 'actually' protect a $100M-$300M corvette against $500-$2500 flying or surface craft drones? CWIS? ECCM?Audio version, if anyone cares.https://litter.catbox.moe/anuxcw.mp4

You eat tiny bits of it with rice or porridgeIt's a common Asian condiment, but it's never been my cup of tea(I was just bitching to my mum 2 days ago that no, I don't bloody well know the price of these things because I have never in my life ever bought any)>preserved duck eggsI think anon meant duck century eggs>>65224848The best quality century eggs are eaten on its ownAnother common accompaniment is thin slices of pickled gingerA classic peasant dish is the softest grade of tofu, chilled cold, plus slices of century egg, s oy sauce, any kind of aromatic oil e.g. garlic oil or onion oil, garnished with chopped spring onion
>>65224868only ever had commercial century egg. Honestly, I've always been more a fan of the salted duck egg than the century egg. Much more versatile with what you eat with it. And the most luxurious use of it is the crumbled yolk used to coat fried king/snow crab.
>>65221168>Because a whole scotch egg is fully half a meal in itselfBut that's why I want one! I blame the appetizer industrial complex
>>65224848>nigga, that shit with some drops of onions sauce, sesame oil, and sugar sprinkled on top?

post some /k/ool WW2 photos
Japanese Marines in Shanghai clearing houses. There was a ton of melee combat in Shanghai and often poison gas canisters were used against stubborn entrenched defenders. Melee combat was so widespread that the Japanese commissioned a study in Shanghai on the efficacy of swords after protracted use, with many officers securing anywhere from three to a dozen kills per sword.

How hard is it to shoot these things down? It's as big a flying elephant and it doesn't look like it's going that fast.
>>65227835>the target sites/cities should have AA, so no idea what they're doing.Sending them all to Moscow and Putin's estate because it's a massive political loss every time a random drone gets lucky and doesn't get shot down there. Any other city they can just pretend it never happened.
>>6522794460% interception rate against a subsonic, non-stealthy, and not particularly low altitude target flying across 1000 km of your own territory isn't a particularly good rate. Either the Ukrainians fired more or Russian AD is a leaky sieve
The hard part is in detection and coordination of air defences, Ukraine has a national system co-developed with the west where the operation center gets an air view of the entire country and every single inbound munition, the view is then shared to dispersed air defence units around the country in real-time, so a Stinger team gets the call to be on the lookout, shoots down one, then the rest get tasked to the following AD units and so forth, while the air force is tasked to engage others and such.In Russia, this coordination takes place over cellphones, military radios and landline.Their high-capability systems like S-300 have no problem shooting down cruise missiles, but they cannot coordinate their defence with low-capability systems like Igla or ZU-23 teams effectively, so Russians get AD bubbles at their AD sites, then the attack targets may have point defence, but any en-route defences kinda suck.
>>65228936MANPADS have very short ranges, you have to be at the right place at the right time to get a lock and fire, and cruise missiles don't have huge signatures. The probability of a MANPADS crew being able to spot let alone intercept a cruise missile is pretty low. Ukraine gets away with it because their territory isn't huge and they have a sophisticated early warning and AD control system, and even then downing a cruise missile with a MANPADS is something they celebrate. This is more of a MRAD and SHORAD level thing.
>>65228973>Their high-capability systems like S-300 have no problem shooting down cruise missilesradar horizon is a big issue for systems like S-300. Even with the radars on masts, the effective range of a S-300 battery against even these not-super-low altitude cruise missiles isn't great, at least compared to the size of Russia. The main defense is dispersed MRAD and SHORAD systems like TOR and Pantsir rather than S-300. Agreed that they have poor coordination and en-route defenses though. I think aside from the poor coordination that's mainly down to the absolute beating that their AD closer to the frontlines took, opening holes in the defenses, combined with the size of Russia.
