>>64760846These shitboxes were rattling around until the mid 90's, so it makes me wonder if the T-10M's got all turned into scrap and paperclips so quickly or is there a stash of outdated heavy tank garbage they're sitting onThey got junk like the T-54's and 55's going to appear in limited numbers but maybe the techpriests forgot the startup ritual for the T-10
>>64758519They're at minimum a quarter of the way there
>>64759299>What (or who) will pulling them after Russia runs out of horsesTuvans. Khazaks, if the budget permits.
>>64760843I read somewhere that horse prices in Russia have skyrocketed ever since the MoD started buying them en masse>>64760854>They basically chose to avoid dealing with T-64s due to not being able to handle the engine issues. Is that true? I thought I saw videos floating around where T-64s were still being used in certain parts of the front, or at the very least T-64 hulls were recognized underneath all of the Tutle tank shit thrown on top of them>I'm not sure how bad the rest of T-72s and T-62/T-55/54 tanks are.I believe OSINT sources are saying that T-55/54, T-80s, and T-62s are either scrap metal tier or poor/extremely poor with regards to their "value". Its only the T-72s that have a moderate amount of hulls that are in any sort of "decent" conditions and even then there are far more poor/scrap metal tier hulls than there are "decent" hulls. >>64760873Wasn't there a video or two of a rusty T-10 being rolled off of a flatbed onto a parking lot somewhere in Russia? I wonder if they considered looking at refurbishing the remaining T-10s they have and found that it wasn't worth the effort
Merry Christmas you beautiful anons!If you haven't received your package, please submit an email to me and we will start tallying the late arrivals, and then sorting between folks who are likely to get theirs in the next few days vs those who the dreaded USPS has lost forever. We will be dispatching the Grinch Relief Corps (GRC) as needed to remedy. Send grinch relief applications to wendigohunter at protonmail dot comthread theme: https://youtu.be/HPdHkHslFIU?si=--taGzS1BwZ1KnRTold thread>>64643227
>>64754972Wait 'til next November.

>>64744860Well it's a bit like the old Soviet-era joke.The dad worm and the son worm walk together:"Dad" says the son worm "Living in an apple, it is great, right?""Yes, my son, living in an apple is great.""Dad, living in a plum, it is incredible, right?""Yes, son. Living in a plum is incredible.""Dad? Living in a peach is marvelous, right?""Yes, indeed. Living in a peach is truly marvelous.""So dad... why do we live in a dog shit?""Because, son.... it is the fatherland."

It's been talked to death why space fighters are impractical but let's say the stupid rich dictator of the third world asteroid colony is dead set on having his fighter jets in space. What would a "realistic" space fighter look like? What do you have to consider about space as a medium?
>>64760301>fighters Are actually very practical, especially as drones.
>>64760301>realistic "fighter"A drone swarm control ship. The drones would have a bunch of missiles.>designate targets>upload to swarm>GTFO and let drones do their thingThat's what space fighters are going to be. A human telling a prelaunched and standby drone swarm to wake up, lock onto something, and do their job. They don't even need to look like atmospheric drones. You can pack missiles, terminal guidance, and reaction thrusters in a cylinder and have it sitting there in sleep mode with either a RTG or solar backup to keep it awake enough to receive a signal for years. Just launch a few more every so often to account for natural attrition.>but we want dogfights in spaceNever going to happen. Individual fighter craft engaging each other is ridiculous at exoatmospheric distances. It's going to be Macross missile spam forever.
>>64760503Couldn't fighters just participate in the missile spam instead of dogfighting?
>>64760301
>>64760889This and that drone swarm answer are correct. I wouldn't mind seeing some multi-crew raptors as well m

>>64760600yes>>64760631the video shows the prototype which was the always on version. for the selectable version i have models for it but nothing manufactured yet. because its expensive to do revisions if i dont get it perfect first try. saving money for it though.

>>64760829if its public, do it brah.

This is NOT ok!

>>64760754That is actually every soldier that is trained in how to shoot a rifle in each country.
>>64760754SHOW YOUR FACE YOU COWARDS!!!
>>64760710TBF the US boneyard was Russia tier up until Iraq when we realized how bad that shit was so we actually started upkeeping them instead of just letting them sit
You're tasked with building a kit to help Iranian resistance against the Ayatollah regime, the kits you build will be airdropped into Iranian territory in large dufflebags and then picked up by chosen operatives. You have $3k per kit to try to arm an light resistance guerrilla fighter, you can only source items from the US civilian market. At minimum you should provide a rifle, a pistol, body armor, essential accessories and ammunition for both, as well as any survival or tactical implement you see necessary.What kind of stuff do you pick?
>>64760239Also posted in every single iran thread. Totally organic posts.

>>64757950>You're tasked with building a kit to help Iranian resistance against the Ayatollah regimeman if only there was some competent government agency whose sole purpose was just that

>*shits up gun culture forever*
>>64748652It's a humiliation ritual. They literally specifically make the game that's each to cheat, people cheat, others are ass blasted from it so they start cheating in return and get banned, so people go and buy a new copy. Rinse and repeat. I know retards that bought 5+ copies over the years.
>>64749133Mission Impossible movies are okay
>>64752283Not just Russians, but Chinese too. Maybe it's that communist-driven "every man for himself" crab-bucket/bug mentality.
>>64760473Oh, yea, NV is played by a lot of trannies for some reason. Legit don't understand why though.

burger Anons, you know how annoying as FUCK it is to ship handguns, due to how you have to drop it off at a UPS distribution center since USPS won't take em because of some weird ancient reg?Well, not anymore!https://www.justice.gov/olc/media/1423701/dl>I hope this isn't viewed as political, I just wanted to share the news.
>>64760841It'd be very nice if next time I need to ship a handgun for repair (hopefully never but lemons happen) it didn't cost stupid money, but to be clear USPS isn't under the DoJ and that letter by itself doesn't do any instant change. DeJoy may well go along with it, though since it'd be directly and unilaterally violating the law it'd probably go to court. If the DoJ's interpretation is correct then it'd be struck down, but just saying it could be awhile. Or maybe we get lucky and it's quick, but this isn't like some of the moves made.
>>64760858I mean ship handguns as a random non-FFL to a FFL, anon. That's the point of this thread. To celebrate how you can just use USPS now.sorry if I wasn't clear :(
I remember during peak covid when carriers would ignore Signature Required and would just toss gun-containing packages at the front door of shops when they were closed... fun times
>>64760841ive had gunbroker boomers get pissy with me for not sending handguns via usps and straight up tell me "i don't care if its against their policy and also possibly illegal i do it all the time" so byeah
>>64760878fun fact you can perfectly legal to mail long guns to someone in a different state if it's in 'your name'. Like if you intend to pick them up at his house (unopened) to go hunting in their state or whatnot.done that trick a few times
I just got a high paying job and in celebration I'm going to update my arsenal. Pls give input on my choices for these roles and let me know if there's something better:>Ruger SFAR as main DMR rifle, open to other short receiver .308 ARs or a .308 bullpup>M&P9 or 10mm Witness as handgun, I do live in grizzly country and this will be my primary HD/clearing gun>Kel Tec RDB as building clearing/HD rifle>KSG as HD shotgun>Mossberg Aftershock as drone gun to be worn on a scabbard, can also double as bear gun with slugs>300WM rifle as sniper (undecided but either a cheapo Savage bolty or go all in and get a Desert Tech SRS for $6k)Already have my carry guns set and most of the common rifles for range funs but want specific ones that best fill those roles. What are your go-to's?
>>64750963>KSG as HD shotgunSmith & Wesson one. >M&P9 or 10mmRuger 10mm levergun's fun, for full anti-ursine mode.>RDBDesert Tech WLVRN caliber swap convenience is more regretful purchase proof and could sub in for the .308 below.>SFAR as main DMR>other short receiver .308 ARComment too long.

>>64760728Sounds like you're better organized than me then. Can't imagine dropping 10k on a few guns will interfere with your plans.
>>64760770I manage to save a lot by not being into expensive cars and not expecting much out of housing. Almost bought but 2020 price skyrocketing happened so have just been renting janky 1 bedrooms in semi shitty areas but even those are $2k/mo where I live (the worst state, but with good paying jobs in some sectors at least)
>>64750963I'd get the 10mm Witness. Always wanted one of those.
>>64760865The Steel-framed one, of course. The polymer-framed one is so ugly it hurts to look at it.

>>64755478>>64758835I'm 99% sure that's a South Korean. His hat is in the style of a Ridgeway cap, he has a bianchi M12 holster and a US pattern belt as well. Plus he's too tall to be a nork
Cool shot from Korea, feels sacrilegious scaling these down but I can't post them here otherwise
>>64760624That is a cool picture. >>64758939That's genuinely pretty funny that managed to get on the national archives.
>>64760624You could include a link to the original
>>64760820>hat managed to get on the national archives.anon...
You have a moderately sized military force and you have to deal with several hundred of these things. Here’s what you gotta remember about them:>Nearly immortal, body can be damaged but the only thing that can kill them is fire>sever a limb and it will keep coming after you >burning them isn’t advised because the gasses inside will reanimate any corpses around them, including animals >They do feel pain, from injury and their rotting bodies>eating brains relieves said pain>they’re very smart, able to fake calls for backup and set up ambushes>speed depends on the state of decay, fresher corpses run like a human>nuking them would kill them, but it would spread the trioxin gas further and make a bigger outbreak in the endWell, /k/? You gotta get creative with this one.
>>64760467In ROTLD2 the military gets massacred in their ground operation. There's a scene with zombies riding around in an APC playing with their mounted turret while another is chowing down on a soldier's brain beside him.
>>64760444The threat of the Romero zombies was always that everyone was already "infected" (I say this in air quotes because it was never clear if the zombies were really sci-fi zombies from a disease or radiation or if there was something supernatural going on) and would reanimate unless their brains get blown out, a concept taken wholesale on the tin by Walking Dead.Even if the military wipes out every single zombie that raises initially, society breaks down from the paranoia of the realization that eventually, they'll all turn. This is also why paranoia and betrayal is a central theme to all the zombie movies Romero worked on.
>>64760476They do, which doesn't work, then they cut him apart, and that still doesn't work.
The man whose head was bitten off by the Tarman in the basement never reappeared as a zombie.
>>64760790the later movies used an entire electricity substation to kill a horde, then the late movies had the Trioxin stored in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. we aren't working with fresh 245 TRIOXIN.easily diluted

>>64760458Sad. I have been trying to get some meme patches made, and was hoping to ask a few people in the thread what I needed to know to try and do that. >inb4 that's expensive bruvMemes can be expensive. You ever looked at /arg/? Half of them are a joke.
>>64760804Download Inkscape and start making some vector images. Get the Inkstitch plugin and convert them to embroidery files. Run simulations to see how things work and learn what tweaks you need. Pick up a used embroidery machine and a 64 pack of thread to start playing around.For making one offs and small scale it works okay. Takes me about 15 minutes and ~5 thread changes to make a 3" round.
USA spent on average 250 000 bullets per kill in Afghanistan & Iraq.
