Wouldn't people just recognize they're soldiers just by their pants, shoes, groups, muscular build, where they came from and political situation?

>>64754175>Sperging out over patterns is a /k/ thingPerfect. Found Finnish M05 Snow that is a one-off reproduction jacket that seems my size. Might just get that to start with. No idea what I'll do for pants but I wish you didn't have to be a soldier to legally own clothes that cheap and that good. It's just not fair.
>>64753175>Since apparently asking about military uniforms is ok on /k/, can I get away with making a threadThere is nearly always a camo/uniform/milsurp thread up on /k/ on any given day, just post there unless you're opening a big topic that isn't covered.I think there's usually a camo general or something that hunters like to chat in.
>>64753447M84 hasn't been in active service for years, and wearing it sterile is unlikely to get any frowns, let alone fines. Wearing the desert M01 under any circumstance is autistically frowned on by the vets unless you got it issuedIIRC, fines are only issued if you can reasonably be thought to be impersonating a soldier (so presumably full uniform with insignia). I've never heard of anyone getting fined for wearing a pair of M84 pants while hiking or his Arktis jacket off duty or whatever.
>>64754997>Found Finnish M05 Snow that is a one-off reproductionYou can get all kinds of M05 Snow brand new from sites like varusteleka and origopro.
>7.62x54r, 7.62x39, 7.62x25>6.5 creedmoor, 6.5 grendel, 6.5 cbjExplain why we dont standardize diameters across the board to appease my personal autism
>>64751200Deal with it
>>647527999x19, 9x39, 9x39
One could hope anon
>>64751200During the 30s and 40s the Soviet Union more or less did that, having ~.311 diameter 7.62x54mmR, 7.62x25mm and later on 7.62x39mm.It has been said that they did this specifically so they could use the same tooling for pistol/SMG barrels as their rifle/MG barrels. Or even recycle worn rifle/MG barrels for SMGs. They do have similar twist rates so this is theoretically possible and maybe something along these lines might have happened in WW2 given a dire need for weapons and a shortage of everything. There is hearsay of this happening during the Siege of Leningrad but not much actual documentation that I can find.Either way I don't think it was intentional. 7.62x54mmR was a holdover from the 1890s.7.62x25mm was adapted from 7.63x25mm Mauser (soviets really liked the C96 and used them in large numbers during the interwar years).7.62x39mm was cut adapted from 7.62x54mmR much the same way that 8x33mm was derived from 8x57mm Mauser. Perhaps the thought of tooling cross-compatibility or recycling barrels was a bullet point on the list of reasons to keep the bore diameter the same, but the leading reason would have been convenience. There wasn't a strong reason to alter the exact bore diameter since it was close anyway and it allowed them to work with what they already knew for better or worse.Later on when developing calibers like 9x18mm and 5.45x39mm it would not have made sense to restrict themselves to the same bore diameter across different weapon systems. They had their reasons for developing each of the above, and maintaining the same bore diameter across different calibers with different roles was just not important. That said, I think the thought remained in their heads. They designed a 5.45x18mm pistol cartridge for the PSM pistol alongside the AK-74, but it never saw much use.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.45%C3%9718mm

Do you guys think actual dogfighting will ever come back? What technology/weapon developments would be necessary for this to happen?
>>64755108Bigger problem in laser dogfighting would be blinding. With normal cockpit canopies it will be permanent blinding of the pilot. The canopy could be made to darken or filter the laser but the pilot will still be blind in that direction and a powerful enough laser will still damage it. Next step would be to ditch the canopy and go with cameras with automatic shutters all over the airframe so blinding one doesn't leave the pilot or drone system completely blind in the attacker's direction.
>>64755276Unfortunately, if this camera array is able to track a target (or at least the direct of the dazzler) well enough to provide a usable firing solution for guns, then it is also good enough to guide a missile, which means we're back at over-the-shoulder missile instakills instead of circle turn fights.There's no margin where a human can see something but a sensor can't guide a missile into that something. Even if fighters end up lobbing massive armoured missiles at each other from 5km away because stealth, hardkill and softkill are so completely dominant that you literally cannot acquire an aircraft beyond that distance or engage it without having your missile hardkilled/softkilled, that still leaves guns as a tertiary weapon at best because missiles end up performing like guns except they can be launched in every direction and have a far less limited payload or velocity.
>>64755334True and if true enough we could see Macross style micromissile spam become viable if there's no point in carrying bvr missiles.
>>64755276>Next step would be to ditch the canopy and go with cameras with automatic shutters all over the airframeYou probably want some shutters and stuff on the EO/FLIR/whatever but you're right that opaque cockpits are the future in this scenario.Are you sure you need optics in a dogfight though?I think it would be possible to design a sensor-fusion system that would give you situational awareness at dog-fighting ranges without necessarily needing blindable sensors.>>64755334>There's no margin where a human can see something but a sensor can't guide a missile into that somethingSure.The advantage of the fighter in that scenario isn't sensors, it's armour. Or at least having enough mass, active cooling and passive heat pumping to distribute thermal energy such that lasing it isn't very effective.>massive armoured missilesThat's a possibility, it makes your missiles chunky though so you do get back to WVR missile fights at least because your missiles need the fighter's fuel tanks to get within engagement range while still carrying armour etc. Their own fuel lasts less because of the added weight and adding bigger rocket motors means an even bigger missile and the rocket equation comes into effect.You're saying a fighter is a missile that kills with bullets but it's a much more efficient flying machine than a missile.Comment too long.

>The Americans can no longer be trusted>Russia is threatening>China is threatening>The Americans are threateningWhy don’t all countries just acquire nuclear weapons? If sufficient numbers of countries take this step then all threats of sanctions from non-compliance lose their significance. Israel already set the precedent by showing how nuclear weapons inspections and the sanctions tied to them have no meaning.First one should build a large stockpile of nerve agents and genetically modified biological weapons so that deterrence remains in effect while the bombs are being built. Olympic pools of VX being pumped to cheap drones with spray tanks would be enough since the poison will remain in the terrain as microscopic droplets for months thus neutralizing enemy population centers even if the vast majority of launches are intercepted.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGE_oMVJ50I
