Seems like NATO is under alot of flak lately. Let's share some fun/memorable stories about joint-trainings, deployments together, exchanging MRE's and good banter to reminisce about the good old times.
>>65041010Lmao you're fractioning and falling apart long before you manage to subvert and destroy the US like you so desperately want. You'll never even control Europe to the extent you desire.
>>65041087And America will have all those nice things if we focus on ourselves and let you collapse into your death spiral.
>>65041010>I do think we have successfully reached into major population centers in the US though. I think we could propose to states like California or New York to join the EU and it would be cheered on by those populations. Any violent attempt would probably go badly.Delusional lol
>>65041087Lmao
>>65044295lol, lmao even
Can't the USAF get the air tractor, put a bigger engine, then larger wings, reinforce the fuselage.And then put the GAU-8 on it?The GAU-8 could fire in sync with the propeller.
>>65044918The GAU-8 is stupid as an aircraft weapon. Its best application was the Goalkeeper CIWS
GAU-8 is like 6 meters long and weighs 4000lbs, it would be incredibly awkward on an aircraft of that size, even if it could technically carry it.The biggest issue isn't even just raw size/weight, it's recoil and weight distrobution. You need an airframe that can handle the recoil and rate of fire that sort of gun is going to impart to the aircraft.
What was the worst military you worked with?
>>65023681>What was the worst military you worked with?
Got attached to US PJ’s in Iraq. Absolutely the finest warriors I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I thought they’d give me shit because I’m a bong but they were hands down the coolest guys I’ve ever met in any military.
>>65026274>exercises>OUR SUB SNUCK PAST U AND SUNK A 100 BAJILLION DOLLARS NUCLEAR CARRIER IN ONE OUT OF TEN OF THE WARGAMES WE RAN!!!! GET THE NEWSPAPERS!!!!!!!!Even Iranni AI is more credible.
>>65034191I did nothing wrong in any of those situations.
>>65044177Different Euro but Eurotard me once read the story of an European fraudster who went to jail(s) in the US and he basically said federal prison is fine but state prisons are rape camps
>hey Uziel can you make us a gun>I don't want to>pleeeeease>okay fine just don't name it after me that's all I ask>sure>alright here's the gun>cool thanks bro oh btw we're calling it the Uzi
>>65044564>cock suckingExcellent job mentioning that (You) expertUzis are pieces of shit
>>65044473>1200–1500 rpmUncontrollable dreck
>>65044473Not going to argue that the uzi isn't fashionable and cool, but since the 80s terrorists started using real guns so law enforcement/military had to stop using the Uzi.
>>65044090> Israel stole his invention and refused to pay him royaltiesNoooooo. Whaaaaaat? The Jews?!?
>>65043945I've got a few patents for mechanical systems, and I wish I could talk with the guy once regarding the Uzi.I'm pretty firm in my belief that he'd tell you any engineer could come up with the broad strokes of the platform, because it's really simple and common sense.What I think he'd be most proud of is the trigger/fire control system.I think this because that's what I'd be most proud of, and vocally so at that, it's genuinely brilliant.It's incredibly compact (less than 1/2" tall), safe, and robust.If I had come up with it I'd be insufferable because I wouldn't stop telling people about it.
Thoughts on USAF pilots survival gear?
Why hasn't the downed pilot been found yet? Surely they have satellite comms link to his/her location?
>>65040786Nigger he's got a flight suit on and they have a pretty good idea where he is, he could have dropped with a M45 quad mount and it wouldn't have made a difference.>>65044943I figured his long forgotten SERE kicked in and he's hiding. Iran would have gloated if they found him already, dead or alive.
>>65040786They can build ballistic missiles and develop nuclear weapons and you think they don't know pilots have guns? I'm sure the guy carrying an American military rifle (in a country under extreme Western sanctions) would have blended in perfectly fine if this one Twitter user didn't spill the beans.
>>65044951How long do pilots' supplies last?
>>65044961I legit have no idea about today's kit but cold war was supposed to last between 3 days and a week.
What should I get for my next handgun?
>>65044938Fuck dude I'm honestly a little stumped, like you've got all the bases and many extremes covered. I guess a 1911 for completion's sake, that or one of those Olympic style match pistols. Failing that, a BFR or Deagle or some other fuckoff huge handcannon
Glock or cz or hi power
I'm working on a sci-fi universe and I want to know which spaceplane concept would be the most practical among all concepts and implementations for fighters, bombers, transports, reconnaissance, helicopters, and other military or fleet aircraft across Army, Navy, and Air Force roles. I am open to including the rule of cool as a factor in the decisionPart 1: >>64971918
>>65044853Bring it on.
>>65044853Did you misquote?I posted the Skylon concept, of course it would have RCS. Realistic RCS.>>65044120>For any type of large scale ship your going to need X Y Z primary and thrusters otherwise your falling into the trap of thruster bank and go foward fast but can't turn.>gundbuster spaceshipYou do realize that in the vacuum of space REAL SPACESHIP only need to vector the thrusters, rotating the ship 360° around, then burn in any direction you need?Any mass you waste is mass you cannot have in propellant, reducing your deltaV budget, and thus your range.Lastly, given how dangerous nuclear thrusters are, you don't want them pointed carelessly in every direction, if the reactor is too dangerous to even have the ship dock itself, you'd not need extra thrusters and rather use specialized tugs or docking robot-arms.That said, I'm a proponent of the paper-armor balloon spaceship designed to move the thrusters anywhere it needs inside itself.
>>65044738the little fires are pretty goodand there's a guy tumbling out in to space in the middle(I suspect MPAA ratings stop movies from showing more than a handful of bodies sucked out in space, otherwise they would have put in dozens of them)
>>65044899>>65044875You asked about technology in OP setting, I provided a reply with all the links to his current developmental lore.
>>65044684>>65044690check the dropships herehttps://youtu.be/sNR1XdnjC0I>>65043373Zeta-class transport is a great design with the orange cargo pod underneath.
What would happen if Iran started to destroy F-22A raptors
>>65044533The F35 got proper a2a kills before the F22 did. Imagine the seethe.
>>65044001The Chinese would try to acquire it, we would hit it with so many missiles whoever found it would be picking burnt fibers out of buildings trying to guess what they were.
>>65044314ThisNobody’s ever seen the T-14 Armata in action and they were in ukraine according to the Russian MoD battle testing them.
>>65044628The Alaskan air base used them all the time to turn away Russian bears and their escorts.

Any military vets here? I just discharged last year after 8 years in the US Army. I spent 3 years in infantry (11B) stationed in a really rainy German town and got deployed to a country full of commieblocks before I applied for the Special Forces and managed not to washout of SFAS and after 2 and a half years or so I spent the rest of my time in Army as an 18B in SF. Since I did the full 8 years active I'm not IRR and pretty much a full on civilian now. I have no idea what I want to do. Since getting out, a case worker at my local GI forum got me this job doing basic maintenance on folding machines for a laundry business, and honestly it kinda sucked, so I got a different job now working in a really cold warehouse for an online grocery store. I have little to no prior work experience outside of the military. From my service I do have experience in some building/construction, mainly basic shit like excavation and laying concrete and I've installed basic electrical wiring but I don't have any certifications in that type of stuff. I'm also bilingual, fluent in spanish and ayacucho quechua (lol) but even with all that my case worker can't get me a job that pays more than $16 an hour like shit man come on. I'm having to live back at home with my dad and my mentally ill sister. I was going to take advantage of the GI bill and go to school but I have no fucking idea what I want to study as a career. I don't want to get a bullshit degree and reenlist and go the officer route (there's a lot of bs involved) and tbqh I don't feel like going back to the military in any degree. I have no interests other than my hobbies and no aspirations of what I want to do. I tried looking into PMCs/PSCs and I found this website called Silent Professionals which seems kinda fishy desu. Idk man. Anybody in a similar position?
Silent Professionals is legit, but it's super competitive. Most of the employers are seeking former U.S. or U.K. tier-one guys like Delta or SEALs or British SAS. Not saying you aren't qualified, OP. But if we're being honest, Special Forces is considered "tier-two" in the elite units hierarchy. Also, you're really young for a former Green Beret. These guys you're competing to get jobs with have over a decade or more or so experience in tier-one units. Think of Silent Professionals like a dating app. Delta, SEALs, and SAS are like the Chads who get the majority of the pick. You're like a mid-tier omega male trying to get laid but the Chads are getting the 10/10s.

>>65043354Are you not on the disability scam? My buddy spent 4 years in the navy during peace time and gets a free $4k/month for life for PTSD. He took a coding crash course and just coasts thru life working at some menial tech job doing the minimum, knowing he'll never have to worry about finances again.

>be USSR>start a bioweapons program>start pumping out barrels of anthrax on an island in the aral sea>the sea dries up>the state collapses>leave those barrels rotting in the open until the Americans go in and sterilise the entire place by spraying the entire area down with bleach>nobody tries to step foot there again Why is Russia so incompetent when it comes to dangerous substances and making sure they don't leak? This shit happened at Mayak, it happened at Aralsk, and by the latest news it seems to be happening again.

Google it you fag I'm not spoonfeeding you>>65043676>no argument Imagine getting emotional over this like a baby and being unable to articulate anything lol>>65043684The deathbed confession from the guy who discovered it, evolutionary genomics, and obvious temporal circumstances say otherwise. I have no opinion on the prion. >>65043686>susceptible to basic bitch 1st gen cephalosporins and doxycyclineWay to out yourself as knowing nothing about this topic. B. Burgdorferi is notoriously treatment resistant once established, as the pathogens sequester away in nerve tissues and spinal fluid. Behavior it was selected for in a lab. All bacterial bioweapons are susceptible to antibiotics btw you actual genuine moron. It appears I'm getting flak for implying the US would ever handle bioweapons improperly (lol) in what is apparently yet another Russian hate thread instead of a bioweapons discussion, but it is well known both US and Soviet bioweapons programs preferred to work with pathogens that required intermediate organisms as they were easier to control and cull than other more volatile and unpredictable formats. Lyme was envisioned basically as a fatigue bomb you could drop on rear lines and ennervate whole formations to reduce their capabilities, a much more realistic and controllable goal than what the Soviets were doing with tularemia at the same time, which is why it was one of the longest running (known) programs at plum island. Obviously this is all very discrete by nature but the program predates the treaty and yet is almost certainly still being worked on in the name of biodefense. Comment too long.

>SAR! SAR! YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO JOKE ABOUT THE RUSSIA! >WHAT ABTOU THE USA! USA TOPIC NOW! USA BAD! USA FAULT!>I WILL DEBATE EVERYTHING YOU SAY! YOU INSULTED RUSSIA, YOU MUST SUFFER NOW!Every fucking time.
>>65043462>Why is Russia so incompetent when it comes to dangerous substances and making sure they don't leak?You have to bear in mind that they industrialized at a breakneck pace from literal serfdom.Most people in the USSR viewed technology and (heavy) industry as something akin to a miracle that pulled them out of the life of trying to get enough firewood and calories stockpiled for winter into the life of merely grumbling about there not being enough meat at the store or having to get on a waiting list for a car, all over the course of 1-2 generations.This has resulted in an incredibly callous approach to any danger that could stem from it, and in most Soviets seeing anyone trying to warn them against the flipside of industrialization and the effects of pollution (which they previously had essentially zero experience with) as a luddite and reactionary at best, and an enemy agent trying to set back their progress at worst.They exported this attitude to all of its satellites, as well."The smoke stacks keep fuming, the Sun squints its eyes.""Go ahead, squint - if they didn't fume, we'd be worse off!"
>>65044885They also put a lot of effort into putting the worst shit in Kazakhstan, far away from Muscovite eyes.
>>65044824I dont care about russia. The title of this thread is >bioweaponsWould you like to make an on topic post?
Why don't fighter jets have armor like the A-10?
>>65041148>nicknamed a "burp gun"I swear to christ I've seen claims of every single automatic firearm ever being called a burp gun but never ACTUALLY read about anything but a ppsh41 being called that by actual people in memoirs or the like
>>65042908Not that video. That's the wing long shootdown.
>>65041148posters like these are so nice, this is the type of thing that should be given to kids as pacifiers to calm them down and keep them busy
>>65042977browns don't value objective truth they just say whatever gets them what they want, language and messaging is a tool to them like meowing is to a cat. They just figure out the sounds that work best and make them incessantly.

The UAE has used Mirage 2000-9EAD to teach the Chinese Air Force aspirant pilots how to counter Taiwanese Mirages. This is the reason why Emiratis have been denied access and technology transfers to modern Rafales and F-35.
>>65044919Oh no the Chinese can counter a mass exported French fighter from the 70s, whatever will the Taiwanese do?

How could the F-35 be shot at by what was presumed to be shoddy Iranian AD?1 F-35 was confirmed to be damaged (landed safely), now Iran is claiming that this time they fully destroyed a second one (I doubt it, but we'll see)The Serbs to this day cherish the memory of shooting down the F-117, when it is known that it was only a lucky shot, as the F-117 had its large bomb bay (relative to the rest of the body) opened during the incident and was flying the same route repeatedly for 2 days and was already on the 4th such bombing runSo how did shit go down this time with the F-35? I'm not aware of any significant weak spot like with the F-117 and it's armed with sufficiently long-range missiles to supposedly always be out of harm's way. Was it pilot error? Got too close, too low and too slow? Gone too risky, in short?
>>65044645If that's your take on the situation then you're probably just not that bright.
>>65044343Read this from decade agohttps://csbaonline.org/research/publications/trends-in-air-to-air-combat-implications-for-future-air-superiority/publication/1

>>65044660>That just begs the question why when JDAMs can be dropped from 20,000 feet where IR missiles fired from the ground don't have a chance.IR missiles can have 20000 feet ceiling
>>65044924the missiles can have any ceilingthe IR guidance for them might be able to have a decent chance of spotting them at that distance provided it is a clear day and there's no fog or clouds.the IR being a shitty, inconsistent form of tracking beyond very close ranges is the limiting factor for these sorts of attacks.
