The premise is simple:Could the DPRK launch a offensive war with the goal of seizing Russia's Pacific holdings and win?

>>64733770I put in 1905 as a conservative date, because the existence of dragons date would probably have done much to speed up evolution of any and all technologies related to air war>If dragons could be mass produced and specialized relatively cheaplyI assumed that would have already happenedPercheron dragons as heavy bombers and troop transports, Arabian dragons for aerial combat, tiny Mongol dragons who eat little and fly far for daring SF raids way behind enemy lines
>>64744703a dragon may have, oh, say about a centimeter of alternating nanoscale (natch) layers of chitin and nacre with a very hard tooth enamel like outer layer and that would allow it to laugh at muskets from 100 paces alreadyin such a circumstance development of long rod penetrators would happen much sooner than it has irl
>>64727411depending on how intelligent the dragon we might be living in a world of rival dragon kingdoms, probably way less advanced technologically and certainly no airplanes because that would directly oppose their power and its hard to oppose a government that has 500 years of experience clinging to that power, maybe forces of competition between rival kingdoms still allow for innovation but it would probably stifle it overall.

>>64750773>>64750212The main issue I have with Tasmanian Tiger is that their designs are straight up dogshit. Check out picrel. It's like every bad idea rolled up into one carrier. > Absolutely retarded "air mesh" that absorbs sweat, mud, and dirt, and makes the carrier only good for airsoft in mild climates? Check!> Dual bulky shoulder buckles? Check! I hope you don't like shouldering your weapon, lol! > Floppy, unreinforced, and weak-looking laser-cut MOLLE? Check! > Floppy elastic cummerbund? Check!> 2.2 pounds empty? Check!!> $500?! YEAH!And that's not even their worst carrier. Look up the "Anfibia". A $40 Amazon.com carrier puts it to absolute shame. In fact, I don't think that TT have any good designs. Everything is deeply flawed in some respect. Also, the quality is Airsoft-grade, and they've always been an Airsoft company. That's not even close to the biggest problem with them, though.

I can’t believe it took a 30 minute video to say what we already knew, which is that 10mm Auto is the superior automatic handgun cartridge, and that only after having to water it and then .40 S&W down for the women, manlets, and fags in the FBI did they just settle on 9mm because there was no difference at that point. Amazing.>But muh fire rate!Literally doesn’t matter in a combat scenario, doubly so if your shots don’t actually land. Paul Harrell already established this in his 1986 Miami Dade shootout analysis.

>>64749374Why not go for warrant? What gave you cold feet?>>64749576I strongly recommend trying to get an option 4 (airborne) or option 19 (duty station of choice) contract for Drum, Bragg, Campbell, or Hawaii. As infantry, being in a light unit = vastly better training and better chances of actually deploying. I also strongly recommend starting to use tuition assistance the minute you get to your duty station and starting a gym routine and basic running routine ASAP if you haven't already.>>64749600Shut the fuck up. Being near a tracked vehicle = endless maintenance hours and shitty units that spend half their lives at NTC. I would know, I was in an ABCT for 5 fucking years. If anon signs up looking to do cool shit and ends up at some hellhole like Fort Riley he'll blow his brains out.
>>64750284Prefacing I was enlisted for 10 years, and am now an SNA - still in training so I can't offer any real fleet insight. I will say that working with admin, pay and in general, other support staff is so much easier. Those types tend to give you the run around if you're junior/mid enlisted. Going from a more senior enlisted position to being a junior officer, the cultural differences are there, and there is a bit of a sense of uneasiness starting "fresh" again, and not really knowing where you stand. Like I was a good Corpsman and NCO, but will I be a good pilot and Officer? Since you're going straight in, its kinda better in that way. With that said. Don't plan on failing out of OCS. Its actually quite difficult to, but besides that, yes keep running. The longer distance stuff is important for building your endurance for the PRT and anything else. In OCS your last PRT is the one that really matters (though, if you fail multiple physical events in OCS, you'll earn demerits, and could go to a board sent back a class, or worse - attrited). Before I went OCS my PRT scores were around a good-excellent medium, but I maxed out my PRT by the time I left. They're actually pretty good about getting you in shape. Just practice HIIT workouts, running 3 mi is good, but try to push it to 5-6 once or twice a week and you'll be glad you did. That's what I did anyway.

You retards are so useless, when I asked if I should go to a different recruiter last thread, none of you mentioned that I would have to start the paperwork bullshit (SF86, references, history) over again.Unfortunately went back to my recruiter who took two and a half months of leave, only to hear from him that he's waiting for the recruiting station commander to come back from leave in two weeks before I can proceed getting my waiver shit sorted.I feel like a dick trying to cheat on my recruiter now but also fuck me this is taking so god damn long, I haven't even signed a contract yet.
Anons I'm 27 years old, civilian, been working out hard for the past 4,5 years with decent results, not fat, masters degree, fluent in two languages, I love guns, I own a couple and have been shooting them regularly for years. I even worked full time as an instructor at a commercial range, and thats when I realized I want to work with guns for the rest of my life. I have had a couple of corporate desk jobs, but I don't think that's my calling. I have a strong military history in my family, my great grandfathers have fought in literally every theatre of WWII, my house is decorated with their medals. Despite that I have never even considered a military creer. That is untill past year or a year and a half or so as shit around the world continued to escalate, I realized that I eventually will serve anyway, so might as well serve now on my terms. Is going to a military school beforehand a good idea? I also would like to attempt joining special forces instead of regular military, do you think its possible? How out of touch am I?
Starting with this piece of shit. Any gun that gets a cracked frame within 20,000 rounds is an irredeemable hunk of absolute dogshit. That isn’t even a high round count for 9mm. Glock runs circles around beretta.

That fits the bill for 90% of people.

Why does Japan always have such a strong navy?
>>64749237It's navy was actually kind of crappy pre-Meiji; their vessel of choice was the bune which was somewhere between a barge and a cog and could regularly be outfought by the western merchantmen at the time; even the ancient Spanish galleons, some of which that were literally over a hundred years old when they were finally retired in the early 19th century could take on a Japanese fleet all on their own. Commodore Perry's little trip was what spurned them into shaping up into a serious naval power, and it was the Scots who showed them the ropes of a modern naval manifest.
>>64751034So the Japanese navy quickly became the favorite child, and the place where ambitious families would send their men to be officers, in comparison into the army. Also, now it was the 1920s and Japan was realizing that they’d won every fight they’ve gotten themselves into, and they were surrounded by a bunch of kind of minimally-tapped markets, thanks to Europe being so far away. So they began to fancy themselves an empire. empires need logistics, empires need force projection, empires need massive navies. so yes, Japan is an island, but also basically every possible factor worked together to make sure that their navy received a ridiculous amount of attention. Their Civil War was won on the idea of making a strong navy, they gave the strongest faction that won that war control of the Navy, the Navy kicked russia’s ass in the first public display of Japan as a modern country to the delight of everyone the government, and then they wanted to be an empire.

When the Geran/Shahed drones first appeared, I figured Russia would use them smartly in a classic SEAD/DEAD role: send waves of them to force Ukrainian IADS to light up radars and reveal positions, then follow up with VKS aircraft, with anti-radiation missiles to systematically dismantle those defenses. Russia instead has chosen the most brain-dead and wasteful approach, by treating the Geran/Shaheds s as nothing more than slow, low-cost cruise missiles hurled directly at static infrastructure targets, while leaving the overwhelming majority of Ukraine's air defenses intact and free to keep operating. They're banking entirely on brute-force volume and saturation to get a few through, completely abandoning any effort at SEAD/DEAD. But the thing is that they're not even achieving any kind of saturation effect since, the launches are scattered haphazardly across random cities, regions, and targets all over Ukraine that changes every night (some they they go after energy infrastructure, some other go after some depots, some others they try to hit some cities...), instead of making up their minds and concentrate them single high-value area, frontline sector, or even one major city at a time, and keep hitting them until achieving disruption or collapse. This is also precisely why so few targets are actually hit despite hundreds being launched every night, and so many of them are intercepted.By contrast, even in the recent U.S. operation in Venezuela, the LUCAS drones (the American Shahed clones) were properly integrated into a coordinated SEAD/DEAD package.
>>64751659>having your own boiler running on a diesel tank will see you last through winter independantly of the rest of the world.unlikely. ukies boiler houses still work without electricity, too. but pumps/valves/... don't. so if your own boiler is in your basement, which would be its natural place, you still face the same problem without electricity.
>>64751659When power was out for half a million in Kyiv, power was also put out for half a million in Belgorod. The difference is the outage in Belgorod would ahve effected the Russian ground forces far far more than the outage in Kyiv would have effected the Ukranian military ground forces. Russias rail network has a great deal of electrification and is their critcial logistic component. Belgorod is a vital logistics hub for the front line Russian forces.The population of Moscow, which has largely left the fighting to Russian ethic minorities sittinng in it's potemkin village supporting their dicator who flooded Europe with immigrants as part of hybrid warfare and celebrated Russian war crimes in Ukraine deserves death. It is the nexus of where the spoiled children of the dicators servents are concentrated along with St. Pteresberg where his propagandists are concentrated,They all have to die for what they have done and been part of.

>>64749451Ok but russians did get things done during world war 2 back when they were the ussr even if they had a lot of american and british help. You could say they were always like that but it does not seem to be the case to me. Russians always operated on izzat but back then it looks like they actually scored wins here and there, during the cold war too. What changed?
>>64751733>Ok but russians did get things done during world war 2Did they? They started WW2 as Hitlers allies and their tropops marched in victory parades beside Hitlers.They have school textbooks that tell them WW2 began in 1941 when Hitler betrayed his deal with Stalin.They stalin used the cover of WW2 to murder ten million of them and add their bone count to Russian losses in WW2 and without US and British convoys and material Russia would ahve been conquered,Then after WW2 they immediately turned their gus against the European nations and teh US and elslaved half of Europe just as the Naxzis had, the Russians quite literally moved into teh same gestapo tirture centres the Nazis had used and continued.The current eneration of the war criminal and yes, fascist Russian dicator and his supporters in St. Peterberg and Moscow is the grave, they had no hand in any victory in WW2. The Russian state deliberately used mass immigration into the EU to try and destabalise it, it bankrolled quislings and subersion operations throughout teh USA and EU and UK and Canada, promoting riots, muder, terrorism, haterd, outright attacks and intereference on the democractic process and then poured more weaponised migration into the chaos itw as causing, kremlinblm, kremlinyellowjackets,kremlinmaga,kremlinfarage,kremlinafd,kremlinantfa,kremkincommeis,kremlinnazis.Kill them all, kill every single kgb member and their entire family line, fionnd and kill every single propagandist for Putin.Comment too long.

Hello everybody, Bonkanon here. Today we'll be making a morning star from exotic African hardwoods.Most of the materials are in picrel. Wenge for the head and shaft (hehe), a piece of black-and-white ebony for the handle, and some African Blackwood for handle accents & pommel.
>>64748986Are you using a metal lathe? I was thinking that some brass fittings could really kick this one up a notch, particularly where different woods meet.
>>64749158I'm doing this on a wood lathe. I do have a metal lathe and a lot of metal shop experience so I could make turned metal fittings, but I'm specifically focusing on woodwork with these projects. The point is to get experience *out* of my comfort zone. I do agree with you that metal collars where the different woods join would look cool though. Something else I've been meaning to fool with is nice-looking thread wrapping, like you see on pool cues and fishing poles. That is incredibly strong too. I've used that method to reinforce tool handles but never tried to make it look nice. That could be a good solution to the issue mentioned in >>64730086
A Turks Head knot would be a simple addition.
>>64713236When I was a kid I used to have a shitty wooden morning star toy and I remember the wooden spikes on it were simply glued to the thing and they would fall off. I wonder how the original medieval morning stars had their spikes attached. Did they also screw it like you did? Or is it your original idea? Great thread btw.
