>>64687652Right.A fiber optic cable is basically a tunnel you shine a flashlight into. A tunnel so tiny, the light has no room to bounce around in the manner it does on our macro scale. So the light comes out the other end exactly as it entered. That won't work if there are holes in the tunnel. There is absolutely no crosstalk whatsoever between these SM fibers.
>>64683832>It could have been over already if Putin didnt have Epstein related blackmail on Trump.But he doesn't even NEEED to have them. All he has to do is pretend to have them. This is the most dramatic part.And this is precisely why you don't elect someone that can be blatantly blackmailed, it's just so easy to make someone dance to your tune.Europe should also play the music and make Trump do the funny dance, really. EU plays way too nicely and by-the-rules.

>>64689412age of consent on epsteins island is 14, ergo no crimes were committed
>>64689435They will because the still need to protect shipping lanes. Both sides will attend to interdict enemy shipping while maintain their own. China won't be able to project naval power, so they'll do it with proxies. Every rogue state and third world shit hole aligned with China will be encouraged to prey upon Western shipping and if there's nobody there to actually engage in naval patrols it'll fucking work. What's more, is that the war isn't going to start over night. There will be a build up and thus concentration of US naval assets into the Pacific, and you'll still need people to fly the flag during the build up.>The FF(X) can only patrol home waters if there are no sub threats.No shit, hence the initial commentary on the state of the USN surface fleet.

>>64688477Yeah, PDs can buy NIJ certified plates for cheap as fuck using DOJ BVP grants. The grants will cover up to 50% based on need, so your local Sheriff can buy Hesco 4601s for $405 a set (assuming 10% bulk / LE discount) but you pay $900. You cannot NIJ certify a shield, because they fall under NIJ 0108.01 and not 0101.06, so PDs need to pay full price. Take a Hesco 4601, make it a 20x30 Level IV shield, you're at over $4.5k. Shields use expensive materials, and a lot of them, because weight is on a premium. Many ceramic shields use Silicon Carbide, which is very expensive from American sources but barely more expensive than Alumina from Chinese sources. Jinwudun sells big III+ SiC shields for only $1,200, and last I checked, they're still paying import charges for you. 20x35.5" windowed one here:https://jinwudun.com/products/nij-iii-bulletproof-shield-silicon-carbide-ceramic-material-spray-polyurea-layerFive monopoly bucks says they'll make a Level IV version if you ask, but it'll need to be wheeled unless you're the T-1000.
I'm going to buy a jinswoosdon shield and a botach battering ram call me The Doorfucker.
>>64673341>>64688510Cool, thanks. In your opinion, or anyone else who reads this, is there any reason to get the 3612 over the 3810? More or less the same weight, thickness, and price, but the 3810 offers slightly more protection being able to take a 7.62x63mm JSP round. Also, generally speaking how much space is inside of plate carrier pockets thickness wise? Since these plates are light, I was wondering if I could put backers in for some more protection
>>64689373>is there any reason to get the 3612 over the 3810? More or less the same weight, thickness, and priceThey're rather redundant. 3612 is slightly lighter and somewhat cheaper, but loses out on 7.62x54R LPS and .30-06 JSP. If those two aren't a problem then 3612 is the better buy. 3811 is much lighter but is significantly more expensive.>generally speaking how much space is inside of plate carrier pockets thickness wise?Rule of thumb is that you don't start running into fit issues until the plates are 1.15" and up, but that depends on the carrier. Plates thicker than 1.2" are iffy. My Protech 2230s for example need to be worked into my TT vest and they're 1.2" flat. Once in I can squeeze IIIA backers behind them.>I was wondering if I could put backers in for some more protectionThat will reduce BFD but not likely increase threat level by a substantial amount. At that combined weight you'd perhaps want to look at LTC 19513s or Hesco 3411s which add M855A1 protection.

I need a safe for muh gunz. It needs to be able to be wall stabilized or not a tipping hazard. Needs to be able to fix six rifles, and around a dozen pistols. Other room for bullshit like mags and ammo, and bullion would be ideal. It doesn't need to be high end, it's quite literally only being purchased so small children cannot access it with ease. I am not worried about burglars.

Do people unironically think America is going to beat China lol? Literally all China has to do is inflict ukraine level casualties on the US, which is maybe 2k a week and Americans will be in the streets protesting to end the war.Tucker and Fuentues will be calling for an end to the conflict, blaming the sitting president, fox news or CNN will be railing the administration 24/7 depending on which party is in office. America has no chance unless they have some super weapon that can cripple China instantly.

Are you prepared for Nuclear War? How do you even deal with widespread radiation? Apart from going south to Argentina
>>64687303>fucking Fallout reaction imageSo you really DID get your entire understanding of nukes from a videogame.
>>64684970In a scenario where Europe is rendered completely or nearly uninhabitable, like in those declassified wargames from the late 80s, Switzerland is fucked as well. Almost all towns are on the Swiss plateau in frontof the actual alps, not IN the mountains. And all the talk about bunkers for the civilian population is a meme. A higher percentage might survive the initial exchange and might survive for longer after, but they'd be just as fucked as everyone around them. There's also scenarios in which the major Swiss cities get nuked, because they're obviously entangled with western elites financially and possible logistical hubs for finance, communication, evacuation etc.
>>64683800You can't prepare for nuclear war. No where on the planet would life still be easy, no matter how much planning you do, even if your country isn't hit by nukes. The ozone layer would be destroyed, if you went outside during the day without heavy clothing and goggles you'd have crippling burns in minutes and every person and animal would be going blind from cataracts.The UV won't let seeds germinate so crops fail, pollinators die off, and the marine food chain collapses because the plankton gets cooked.Most people and animals on the planet will die from malnutrition and diseases not nuke blasts and radiation.

Hey anons, I’ve started getting interested in weapons, militaria, and artillery. But I have no idea how to study or research this topic. Does any anon know or have resources for that? I always look at /k/ threads, or some messages in militaria channels on Telegram, and I get completely jealous of people’s knowledge. They can identify weapons by name, know about calibers, understand military history, etc… I wish I could have the background to join those conversations.
>>64688029>>64687980thanks.>>64688029>maybe your time is better spent elsewhere.Thanks for the advice, but honestly, I just like the subject. I don't think I need a purpose or anything like that. I just have an interest in militaria and want to learn more.>The other point is that there is just too much - an aircraft weeb and a navy weeb won't necessarily have much overlap with a tacticool and a HAM weeb or range weeb with a HEMA weeb, etc. Decide your weeb class.I want to be a jack-of-all-trades weeb :D
>>64688326What stupid questions do you have now OP? Honestly asking stupid questions is how you learn.Why does a heli kill a tank?Why does an IFV get killed by a tank, but the Bradley sometimes doesn't?Why did the Tomcat get discontinued?Why do you still need ground troops when drones win wars?
>>64688213Thank you for the text, it was very informative. I will take notes. What did you mean by 'Hopefully you don't end up as a PDF hoarder like me.'?
>>64688382It takes minutes to recognize the value of a text book, download and flip through, days to plain read hundred page, and more to take notes and do practices. After all it takes half a year of 5 hrs a week to finish a book when your parent paid money for someone to nag you into finishing. The powerful feeling of getting a valuable book that feels like would answer your problem deminishes when actually invest time reading it as you don't actually have a problem at hand or would take on the problem. Retard like me just keep adding more book to the harddrive for that hit of rush.
>>64687976First understand the system, e.g.>artillery>tanks>armored cars>etcThen understand the components of said system,>cannons>armor>electronic modules>engines Finally, after mastery of understanding some simpler, earlier systems, read about more modern weapons and tactics. It is useless to try and understand tactics if you dont understand the equipment used same for vice versa.WW2 era tech would be a good start, as most systems (disregarding digital ones) were in use, albeit simpler precursors. Analog is much simpler to understand than electronic voodoo, starting early and working up is the way to go. Truthfully, other than some books from the library/digital downloads, Wikipedia has a majority of whatever you need to understand. Books will contain anything more specific you want to know, I would recommend New Vanguard books, they are detailed, but also relatively light reading with plenty of illustrations.Comment too long.
