Why does Japan always have such a strong navy?
>>64750015Finishing out the 12 Mogamis, starting the Sakura OPVs, another boat in the Teigai class, Tomahawk capability for their DDGs, and starting to plan out the pair of large Aegis surface ships. Japan is busy these next few years.
>>64749836Japs mostly didn't experience the RN in WWII. They sank two capital ships then experienced what the RN was teaching the USN. Hard.
>>64750242What's Russia's actual ranking when you discount all the hulks they keep on register despite them barely being able to remain afloat, let alone sail under their own power? I would wager below France.
>>64750382I would imagine they are still in 3rd, but with a much smaller gap. The Russian Navy has so much tonnage tied up in soviet era rust buckets that it's simply impossible to tell. So much of their tonnage is wrapped up in wrapped up in retarded shit that also fluffs the numbers as well. They seriously have like 100 different tug boats all varying from a couple hundred to a couple thousand tons. Their oiler fleet is made up of gigantic 1970s rust buckets. They have a stupidly large amphibious fleet for a country that doesn't even utilize them for amphibious landings or a strong maritime tradition. Overall their sub fleet won't change much, but like 90% of their surface fleet tonnage is all pre-Russian federation where the RF hasn't actually built anything larger than a frigate. It really is annoying looking through the list and seeing how much of their 2 mil figure is just propped up by nonsensical shit

Where my arm chair generals at? What the actual best way to pull this off? Apparently only springtime is possible because other than that the strait is too choppy. Eastern shore is all rocks so you can’t even do a landing over there.Also can’t do any of the tactics from ukraine since basements aren’t a thing due to the water table, there a ton of parking garages and subway stations though.
>>64749877Its impossible without the permission of the United states.
>>64749877first few days would likely be just waves of different types of missiles, drones, and autonomous loitering munitions.
>>64750277they could probably keep the US in deadlock for 1+ year by actually helping either party (or both) commit election fraud and having it exposed. They already make fake everything, probably not hard to make fake ballots and voting machines
Sleep agents and collaborators , 10% of Taiwan population supports unification also is quiet easy for China send a few hundred sabouters and spec ops as civilians there every year. Those will give intel and help destroy military facilities. They all look the same, it will a perfect infiltration, jeez even the current KMT is under CCP pockets.
why didn't the vector catch on?
>>64750385NTA. Say I make a foot long grip for my AR (straight line recoil) and grip it at the very bottom. There isn’t going to be any extra muzzle rise because the recoil is still going directly back into my shoulder - the thing the gun is braced up against. No leverage, yes, but no leverage against my shoulder, not my firing hand.
>>64750377Crap, I meant for this post (>>64750390) to be in response to you.
10mm Vector is pretty swag. .45 or 9mm though idk
>>64750390>>64750392When you've got it properly shouldered. I'm not saying everyone should or does intentionally shoot smgs from the hip like eighties movies, but for instant reactions to nearby surprises or for stances that are working around awkward environments, it could matter.

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?

Hoffman has MIM super safeties with updated geometry listed on his site. If you have the funds, be sure to buy one (or a few) just to show your support when they go in-stock
>>64749027you know the life span of these?
>>64749031I'm not sure he's shared an estimate. Had just seen him tweet about it and thought to check his site.I could care less, and would still buy several even if they were backyard cast pot metal. It's my opinion that Hoffman deserves our support especially with RB trying to ruin his life.

Got some stuff in the mail today
>>64750789good
>>64738248>The world is continuing to become more population dense and people are moving into cities. The increasing littoralization and developing urban centers mean that having some gigantic battle rifle that sucks at everything isnt actually going to do well in these conflicts. Small arms are going to be an even smaller part as the conflicts become tighter together.ive had a similar thought to all those larptubers training infantry tactics and doing LRRP shit in the forest. like okay i can understand why that may be useful but if da boogaloo (n)ever comes i would imagine most of the fighting would be urban/around cities, where most of the population lives and where ideologies will clash. just like we are seeing today with Minneapolis, people arent getting into riots in the forests.
>>64750921I agree. Combat in major American cities will be a new level of shitshow if rule of law is truly out the window. Also people aren't going to be able to "escape" to rural areas as quickly as they think. Highways will be jammed up / blocked and the average person isn't good for a long march on-foot, especially when laden with all their belongings. This goes double for larpers that don't exercise and are either horribly under or over weight. Like hell, I remember a bunch of plebbitors who genuinely could not make it up a set of stairs with a slick carrier and two Level IV plates. It's sixteen pounds guys, c'mon.
Are living suicide bombs a viable strategy in an open war? I thought that suicide bombing was only good for terrorism at checkpoints/markets but not for a frontal assault to a fortified enemy position.Banzai charges barely worked...
>>64738413>I heard it's a popular scheme for many women in Russia to marry soldiers to get some nice money when he get's killed.They recently addressed exactly this issue, if I recall correctly now you have to be married for more than one year to be eligible for those payments.
>>64738607>pic>lure poor people with no futureNot just women, it's children/teenagers.The pitch is something like "come to russia to study in elite innovative tech school! learn real skills! for free!". Some kind of school for those kids actually exists there, but the trick is students have to fulfill some "practice quota"(building drones) or be expelled/have to pay.

if I ever had a time machine, one of my favourite things to do would be to go back in time and get modern high quality photos of iconic warrior troops that disappeared before photography came about.

We have just seen the US carry out Operation Absolute Resolve, a flawless raid in Venezuela but there's so much more than what meets the eye.The fact that the Nightstalkers could just infil and exfil on gunships guns blazing is insane in the era of gay drones and MANPADS. They didn't even have to worry about the overall IADS. IR dazzlers or just shooting back was very effective against any fuckers that tried to get a shot off. More than half of the air assets in theater being SIGINT and EW just shows the importance of spectral dominance in addition to SEAD and as SEAD itself. It's obvious Growlers used their brand spanking new mid-band Growler pods to jam fire control radars, F-35s used their Barracuda suites, but what the EC-130H's were doing could be anyone's guess. But the power went out and that says something.

Is there any chance Denmark will buy out the entire stock of R 360 Neptune to just spam them in case of the (more and more likely) case of invasion and how effective would it be?
>>64750876I'm just telling you why people are riled up. I personally doubt anything will happen. From what I have seen talk about military annexation has always come as the usual "not ruling anything out" which is the one thing you can never get Trump to do. He will never ever say something is off the table. Back during the 2016 he also wouldn't rule out nuking Denmark, way before anyone put the idea of getting Greenland in his head. That was a nothing burger and by the end of the day I think this will be too. It's just that politicians and analysts on both sides on the pond take is very seriously.Personally I can't help myself responding to these threads because part of me enjoys retarded arguments.
>>64750640I guess?>>64750665>>64750717That sounds like a better deal than what they have now, Greenland should take it, make something out of their nation.
