>>64748802>AFV tier weaponryInfantry has used 20mm guns for a hundred years, despite the average height then being much less than 6 feet. An exoskeleton would surely make them more viable again, and in bigger calibres. Bigger guns, more ammo, more power to dig trenches, faster reaction times for heavy weapons in a harder to hit package, less busted knees, more resistance to explosives and fragments that still cause most infantry casualties. If it can fit some wheels or tracks, it'd also serve as a motor transport. It's just a matter of cost and how to best employ such units. Putting them in a frontline trench to get destroyed by a few HEAT FPVs is obviously not it.
>>64751260I mean, there were serious technical limitations for it. Like requiring power from the entire Shiva Star capacitor bank to function. Now what I do bet is that some of what they learned went along to other projects (cough...Dugway Zapper). Kirtland AFB is the home of the Directed Energy Directorate of the USAF, after all. God knows what else they were doing at KAFB/Phillips Lab or Sandia. Speaking of "what ever happened with that", we should add hafnium isomers to that list. https://www.afrl.af.mil/RD/

The guy that wrote that has gone full schizo. He's on his blog actually wargaming how Canada will conduct guerilla warfare until the US collapses. And it's so absurd that it seems tongue in cheek until he keeps going and going and citing sources about how the clathrate gun climate shift will enrich Canada and destroy America etc.
>>64749626the tariffs aren't as bad as you'd think,the EU got the lowest tariffs bracket while the EU's international competitors on the US market didn't. this gives them a competitive advantage over them.at the same time the blanket nature of the tariffs also drive up domestic manufacturing cost absorbing a decent chunk of the advantage a smart tariffs policy would give them.there's also the fact that the EU exports a lot of luxury goods, those aren't nearly as sensitive to price hikes.

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.
>>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.

Presumably they're not going to use an homme with a good throwing arm for the production version.This provides the exact same benefits as for air-launched cruise missiles, right?

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?

>>64751210Anon what alternate reality do you live in where Glocks are bad? They aren't sigs
>>64751264The MWS is a heavy gun but it's more than worth it for the accuracy and reliability imoMy sister-in-law has an RDB-C and it's a fun little gun. The C and S models are sleek and easy to carry, real handy innawoods. She likes it because it's easy to hide and her parents are furiously antigun but I'm guessing you're not living at home with mommy and daddy. Triggers good, the gun's surprisingly reliable and downward ejection is nice. On the other hand, it feels like a cheap plastic dollar-store toy to hold, one of the screws backed itself and disappeared into the grass (might wanna loctite em all) and the thin barrel is very temperature sensitive. I love my AUG though. It's a joy to shoot, it's more accurate and way more robust. It's a gun I'd actually be happy to rely on in a shooting. The stock trigger is a gritty and mushy but not to the extent that it ever impeded my ability to shoot. I've got the Ratworx 2020 sear in it now and that's made the trigger a lot crisper.

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.

>>64751676Army is buckbroken due to years of IRGC buttfucking them, but there were multiple reports of IRGC (and possibly basij) commanders getting surprise visits at home.It's one of the well-established facts that a secret police only works as long as people cower in fear. When the commanders are being lynched while police are magdumping into crowds of thousands, that fear is obviously not working.Which may result in fragmentation instead of (counter) revolution, but who knows.

>>64752208but it's not wrong at all, that's the issuesuch fuzes were not put into mass production because there was no need for them, impact fuzes were still deemed good enough until 1914 rolled along and showed everyone how wrong they had been in believing that
>>64727248Depends a lot on how tough the dragons scales are, if it can take pistol rounds it rules the skies of early WW1, if it can take rifle rounds it rules until the interwar period.As for the ground attack role it would probably get fucked by late 1600s cannon, hard to hit but it would be eventually.
