>>64752294>That's the huge reason everybody prefers analog over digital NVGAnalog NVG have phosphor decay time. Also both digital and analog FPV drones have very low latency and can have high refresh rates.Digital NVG will replace analog what is holding them back is custom NVG OLED screens with the appropriate pixel density and brightness settings.
>>64752269Nylon is significantly stronger than cotton, more comparable to silk. Are you saying that Cotton armor is in any way comparable to Kevlar?
>>64751642How could you be so retarded and wrong in such a short post
>>64752473I am saying nylon armor is possible and obtainable for thirdies to manufacture.
>>64752636But Cotton is cheaper and we've seen quality products being swapped out by dogshit look-alikes before. Specifically by Russia.
By using quantum sensing instead of traditional lenses and a CMOS camera, and then running reconstruction algorithms over time on the input, it's possible to get 20x the range, 1000x the processing speed, and sub-diffraction images. It also reduces size and cost from Hubble scale to a big cubesat size.
>>64752480Promises cost nothing, working proof costs something.
>>64752540While I understand what you are saying, this isn't some handwavey bullshit written by a team of Chinks at some Chang Technical Institute. Zachary Dutton is as legitimate as a defense scientist can be. Whatever he's been doing for Raytheon for 20+ years was good enough to earn him a VP position within the company.
>>64752266>sub-diffractionSo they're literally claiming to violate the known laws of physics. Seems legit.
>>64752616It seems to be glownigger DLSS. What I want to know is what the camera sensor is made of? They are very, very vague in all the articles I can find on this, but most of the Diffraction personnel have backgrounds in EE with a focus on photonic computing, and all of Dutton's early work has shitloads of applications in photonic computing. Dutton also has citations with pic related Jeet (Saikat Guha) when he was with the University of Arizona. U of A also does lots of parallel work in metasurface lensing for satellite imaging. What I do find interesting is that this appears to be a retrofit type system for existing satellite imaging rigs.
>>64752645>Pic related JeetThey have been at this for a while it seems. There are citations for similar work going back to 2016.

Out of curiosity could you load modern 9mm into an MP40 without it blowing up or jamming up in the case of HP/SP ammo? It'd be pretty neat to load modern self defense rounds into a WW2 submachine gun, imagine a future doctor breaking into your house at 3am only to catch a burst from a fucking MP40 to tge chest.

>>64750921>ive had a similar thought to all those larptubers training infantry tactics and doing LRRP shit in the forest.Two fold. First, its significantly easier to access undeveloped woods for training so most of it biases towards that. Second, Its foundational for urban fighting. You build the concepts in the less complex terrain and then add on complex terrain (MOUT, mountain, jungle, littoral, etc) so people have a lens to observe the differences through. Its far easier to teach people who have a common foundational level of small unit skills and end up bending them to meet the advanced situation as need be.Thankfully the obsession with larping as SF is creating some accidental successes as far as urbanized fighting is concerned. Lots of people possess low profile belts, slicker carriers, short rifles, etc and some generalized concepts about what to do in cqb situations. These cargo cult takeaways might be right, might be wrong but having some foundation is better than dropping a tribal shaman into a cs:go match >>64751025>Guerilla fighters in the woods never win. Urban centers is historically where things get settled in modern wars.https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691177076/small-wars-big-data+https://www.rand.org/pubs/commercial_books/CB543.htmlThe vast majority of conflicts were successful in rural situations where the urban success rate was drastically lower. Historically the transition from one to the other was also market by turbulence and failures. >>64752276Petzl E+Lite>>64752426Velcro rocks.
>>64752486I'm saying the trend is that asymmetric smaller guerilla forces can hold ground or cause issues but are not able to have real victories. FARC is a famous example of holding out for a long time then getting tricked and losing. Something like the American revolution, civil war, and the Yugoslavian war is meaningfully transformative and required a level of symmetric warfare. Taking large urban centers and holding things like capitals is where victory is derived even if there are meaningful skirmishes in the woods on your way to occupy or do other things at the urban centers. My main point is smaller poorer guerilla forces are not able to win I used in the woods as a pejorative since they don't have real bases and infrastructure.
>>64750108Maybe. I know the GOST-5A / 6A and then BR4 / BR5 Granits are Alumina. The solution to tackling substantial tungsten penetrators like 7N37 just being a thicker alumina strike face is just, IMHO, inefficient. They're leaving serious performance on the table by not using a better ceramic. The concern with the BR5+ Granit is that it's very heavy, well, that's a way to fix that.There is the possibility the Alumina is something like ZTA - zirconia-toughened - but that isn't in common use because it jacks up price and doesn't get you anything truly noteworthy over mainstream SiC.As for the backers, I remember a few papers about Russian advanced aramids. Odd to me they wouldn't at least be licensed here if they're competitive with good Dyneema or Spectra. High end PE is stronger pound for pound as a backer, but aramid backed plates exhibit very good v0s on account of how aramid fibers function.As it stands, the Chinese could probably reproduce the Alumina+PE BR5+ plates if they aren't using anything exotic. Throws a real wrench at the M7's XM1184.
>>64752561>>64752561>Taking large urban centers and holding things like capitals is where victory is derivedNot at all, this is the extremely rare outcome. The majority of the time the forces are victorious and result in a withdrawal of troops from tenable held positions. French indo china war, algeria, rhodesia, tigray liberation front, eriterean peoples liberation front, taliban (2020), FARC, IRA, etc etc. All of these forces committed to a long violent rural struggle resulting in eventual withdrawal of their opponents and/or political settlements that effectively transferred them into power regardless. Historically gorillas have used these rural areas to build ranks, train forces, transit supplies and maintain a general presence in a larger area of footprint. It always will be important if not from a strategic or human capital standpoint but rather from an operational standpoint.>FARC>LostDawg the president of columbia is a former M19 member and is giving FARC anything they wantLack of external sponsorship is a much greater determination than the area the conflict is fought in or where the decisive battle occurs.>Mao something something water, something something fish something something

Indonesia is one of the countries that will become a superpower someday and rival the US.Indonesia is now set to have a capable Airforce once these jets land in Indonesia early next year not to mention Indonesia is buying 5th generation stealth fighter jets from Turkiye.Indonesia also has long range ballistic missile strike capabilities thanks to Turkiye.take note that indonesia see australia as frienemy. australia is a friend, but have high potential to become an enemy. if you read history about relationship between the two countries, the two countries already find them self as enemies many times in history. there's even a prophecy by king jayabaya from 7th century that said nusantara (indonesia) will go to war with it's southern nation (australia) to become the regional superpower that rule indian ocean and south east asiaLooking at how the US turns a blind eye to Israelis killing women and children, Indonesians fear they would be treated similarly to Palestinians if there were conflicts, for example, between Indonesia and Australia. Historically, Indonesia has been mistreated by the US and Australia before. Indonesian has more realistic view of relationship with Superpower.In fact, Indonesia is the one who has to worry even though it is non-aligned but is surrounded by American military bases. such as in Singapore, Papua New Guinea, Australia, etc. there is a possibility that other countries will attack it to take its resources, for example, Australia, which has a military backup from the US, could help Papua become completely independent, especially as Indonesia's military equipment is much more outdated than Australia's. especially because Indonesia is flanked by China and Australia, where the issue will definitely be related to the blurred South China Sea and Australia's potential to help Micronesia push for the liberation of Papua... so maintaining and increasing Indonesia military strength is important

People get confused. You shoot at and enemy aircraft, you see it smoke ,leak fuilds , maybe even loose chuncks. Its going down but you had to Change target or evade ,in your head you got a kill, but there is no way of knowing if that aircraft really went down or not.If you go by reported Kills the USAAF shot down like twice as many planes then the whole jap Air force

Its going down but you had to Change target or evade ,in your head you got a kill, but there is no way of knowing if that aircraft really went down or not.The book "Piece of Cake" goes into this in detail with things such as multiple aircraft firing at the same target in the confusion, both seeing it go down, and both reporting a kill, occasional friendly fire incidents (like the Battle of Barking Creek), etc.
