I have a severe dairy allergy that I have just been informed is incurable. Is there absolutely any military on earth that I can join? I just want to fight and escape my current hell.
Robert, you are completely and utterly worthless.
>>64673684You don't even sound believable, because that doesn't even compare to what Robert has done.
>>64673142What you said isn't even racist, it's just hilarious.
>>64673684>Is there absolutely any military on earth that I can join?The US military, is whom.
Why were the huge Qing Dynasty armies so ineffective in the Opium Wars? They have to be the most one-sided wars in history.
>>64673192If you read the article its a combo of extreme poverty and Chinese patriarchal culture. Trad Chings normally didnt off daughters, they just fucked their wives and hoped for a son next time.Thing is, during times of extreme hardship, daughters become a liability. Not only would they not continue the family line, they're gonna leave you pretty early to get married off to some other family and totally belong to that other family by the age of 12 or 13. So you're literally raising someone who will leave your clan village.So to low IQ peasantchud clans trying to survive a particularly bad famine, baby daughters were burdens. These aren't exactly great long term planners.
>>64674035Their entire culture was twisted.
>>64671209Are you stupid?George VI married an anglo/scotTheir daughter married a danish/greek
>>64674035Same thing happened during the one child policy but it wasn't just the rural retards. Sons were simply more valuable to the Communist Party too so we're getting the same shortsighted results in China, but the internet has made it less of a time bomb of violence and more just a time bomb of troons outs and prison gays.
>>64674035>So you're literally raising someone who will leave your clan village.I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than having a daughter honestly, think about it rationally. You are feeding, clothing, raising and rearing a girl for at least 13 years solely so she can go and get ravaged by another man. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little girl - reading her stories at bedtime about your great ancestors deeds, making her go to singing practice, making sure she had a healthy diet, educating her about a womans role in the clan, playing with her, all of it has one simple result: her body is more enjoyable for the men that will eventually fuck her in every hole.As a man who has a daughter, you are literally dedicating at least 13 years of your life simply to raise a girl for another man to enjoy. It is the ultimate and final cuck. Think about it logically.

>>64673126>Dude marketing waffleMost the workers will be British, there will be some imports like with the CEO but the workers will be primarily British.
>>64672745The biggest problem with FCAS is not the design of the plane which doesn't fit the German requirements, it's that Dassault wants to define all the suppliers. That means they can kill Germany's aero industry or at least thousands of jobs would be at mercy of the french government.FCAS was a Merkel Project. Her idea was that we can subdue Russia economically. Any military project for her was an economy first, political second and security third project. The design of the plane and if it fits Germany's usecase was the least of her concern since she thought Europe can corner Putin politically and economically.Obviously that idea backfired. However, in 20 years there won't be a Ukraine war anymore. The loss of an immediate military conflict will also reduce the need for choosing an immediate technical solution like the GCAP. Germany will have ceded its aerospace industry to France or to the UK for what? A plane that's no longer needed?People talk in this thread like Germany will get their 6th gen fighter tomorrow if they decide today but the reality is very different:> Go with FCAS- Get the first plane at best in 2040 - Retain thousands of jobs but lose any technical knowledge- Get a plane that doesn't fit Germany's requirements 100%Comment too long.

No politics, no industrial feasibility or cancellation talk allowed.What is the logical military use case for a huge expensive "battleship" with 3x more displacement than a Ticonderoga and only a few more VLS cells? What advantage could it hold over Flight III Burkes, DDG(X), VPM SSNs, or an SSGN Columbia variant?>1. The core use case would be a large fast cruiser able to escort carriers at prolonged high speeds around the Pacific, in situations where conventional escorts and their oilers couldn't keep up, or would slow the carrier down with UNREP making for risky ASBM attack windows.This is reliant on it being nuclear powered, which isn't confirmed and makes it more expensive and industrially intensive. Perhaps the Navy has done the math and found that cruising around at an unbroken 35 knots is useful to increase the PLA's sea search volume or complicate ASBM kill chains. But it doesn't have that many VLS cells so it must rely on novel weapons as an escort to avoid magazine depletion. >continued
It's big because it's meant to hold an AI datacenter for the embarked commander.>>64673945
>>64673926It's not nuclear. And the claimed speed on paper, which is all this is, is 30 knots.
>>64673745that's only for the first salvo. after, your vls batteries will be empty and you will need to sail back to your harbor to refill.meanwhile airwings will just keep going.
>>64672493A nuclear powered heavy cruiser is perfect for carrier escort, requiring no oiler to follow it everywhere. Using nuclear energy, which for mission duration can be regarded as endless, should mean you can carry less and lighter physical ammo, with lasers doing medium distance interception duty and the railgun doing long range (no physical propellant having to be carried, just the impactor and its sabot). Probably a couple of nice niches for electronic warfare and strong radars that the reactor can power.If its conventionally powered its useless.
>>64674113laser is for point defense and won't be able to protect the carrier.railgun is vaporware.
What was this thing supposed to do that couldn't just be done by some kind of shoulder-fired missile?
>>64674102That question has a lot to do with it getting cancelled
What the fuck is going on, they filmed everything, one SU-27 and one SU-30, 100 million in damages, did russia lost that many soldiers that they can't even muster a few guys to secure their air bases? Anyway, what's going on these past few days, they're getting a lot of shit destroyed, mig 31, S-400, bunch of fighters and even a fucking submarine
>>64672937>If I had a manual that included the pre-flight check list, You don't.>I'd rewire a few of the initial switches that have to be swatchedWhich switches?>that have to be swatchedOk, now you've chose then colour palette you're going to use, what do you do with it?
>>64673007>that has its cockpit lockedThat doesn't seem to be the case, the rest of your post stands though.>It's like your understanding of reality comes from cartoons or vidya?I think it's clear anon is 15yo and not on a STEM trajectory.
>>64666371>if they had people with enough clearance to get to the hangars, why not simply steal the planes?By clearance, you mean two weeks of surveillance to identify the guard patrols.As for stealing, you need:>a pilot>a ground crew>fuel>air defence clearance to not get shot down (no guarantee in Russia)>active assistance from Ukraine to avoid hotspots on the front when you crossThe last one is the easiest to get.I feel like a plane autist from /k/ would have a halfway decent chance of getting a jet airborne and on its way if they managed to find one that was stored as 75% prepped for launch so it could be relocated in the event of drone raids or sent out on a strike at short notice.If it's fueled and it's just a matter of removing safety toggles and wheel chocks, you might have a hope. You might still need a few buddies to assist though and I don't know whether you can just drive a jet out of the hanger or need to fuck around with a tow tractor.Doing all the above would drastically increase the time spent on-site and the risk of detection from people who will rape and kill you if they find you.
>>64673749Question for the plane autists: how hard is it to start a military jet plane? How hard is it to fly one if all you have flown is like a cesna or a flight sim? Landing, is it hard with something so weirdly shaped, unlike that of a simple cesna?
>>64664911>Heck, next time plant an electronic device that hacks the fighter jet's weapons control so that it fires on friendly targets.You have to be 18 or older to post here
George Kellgren is this century's John Moses Browning and we just haven't realized it yet because his guns are cheaply made and have questionable QC
>>64674041Name 3 innovations from kLOLgren
>>64674041>Is that an unconventional magazine layout or feeding system in a calibre I dont personally have a use for? SAVE ME NIGGERMAN, IM GOOOOOING INSAAANE!The level of dialog around kellgren really just serves to emphasize the difference between people who do and don't have an internal monolog. People really just think his designs are spontaneous and pulled from the ether, because for them that's probably how all their thoughts are, but there's always a clear conceptual provenance and line of reasoning behind them; provided you're able to visualize a turning apple in your mind.
>>64674053The RDB is the potential man of bullpups. Light, truly ambidextrous, with one of the best bullpup triggers on the market and doesn't do some dumb complex shit like the F2000/FS2000 to eject casings. It could be even better with some iterative improvements and if it wasn't made by Florida man with Coke bottle plastic.
Still reeling from the sheer retardation of the Battleship proposal, plus that it'll be replacing the DDG(X) project.But the FF(X) looks good. It won't have VLS in it's first flight, but it'll have an established supply chain and available logistics for repair and maintenance. As long as they don't try to make more capable than it needs to be, i think it'll be a good boat.
>>64672938Jones Act means absolutely no foreign built warships. Good luck securing the votes to amend that when your tag line in those congressional districts is "shipped your jobs to Japan."
>>64673510They are smaller Burkes showing what the navy wants is very possible. Pretending that isn't an impossible task to create mini-burke frigates is bizarre.
>>64673606Why not buy cargo ships if hulls are needed? Or even ribs? The hulls the USN needs need to fill a purpose, getting hulls for the sake of numbers is not what the USN needs. It's a waste of money manpower and productive capacity.
>>64671743It will be cancelled. Trump-class battleships, that will be also cancelled as soon as admin changes, will eat all the funding. You will have no navy and you will be happy.
>>64674045>It will be cancelled. Trump-class battleships, that will be also cancelled as soon as admin changes, will eat all the funding. You will have no navy and you will be happy.The US will enter a soverign debt crisis in 8-10 years. Then even existing ships will be cancelled. See https://usdebtclock.orgAt present, the fedgov is borrowing money to pay interests on its debt. You do not need much of a brain to realize that it is not going to work out for long. Unironically taking Venezuelas oil is a viable strategy to stave off the debt collapse - for a little while.
My dad has been wanting a Glock for quite some time, though he has never owned a gun and isn’t the type of person to go buy one for himself. So I figure it’s the perfect gift to get him for Christmas. The only problem is I’m not sure how my stepmom will react, as they have 2 11 year olds in the house. If I do get him the gun, I also intend to get him a case with a lock on it. For added context, he gifted me my first gun (Mossberg 500) when I was 17, which was kept in their house when I lived with them while the children were toddlers. How should I go about this? ChatGPT says to tell him ahead of time but that seems very gay.
>>64673971Wrong Unc, the 2000s boomer anti islam slop is over and people know the heroic struggle of the Palestinians
>>64673973Which is why they want to ban immigration from muslim countries (shitholes) Lmao
>>64673988Okay? So even more of a reason to support Palestine and have diaspora Muslims do Dawah. In sha Allah
>>64673993Shut the fuck up nigger. No one likes muzzies in america.

Post wheelgats. Just bought this 3rd change hand ejector dated to roughly 1912
>>64652056>>64652084How do you like that beast? I nearly picked one up just because I have pistols in all the common auto calibers but no revolver and I want something that can shoot 357/38. Everyone on here was saying they were shit but it looks better than a Taurus to me.
Are revolver cartridges ever going to get shorter?
>>64667359I would be all over the 3" 692 if it had a fluted cylinder. I just do not care for the unfinished look of a smooth cylinder. Otherwise it checks just about every box I could want in a revolver of that form factor, with the added benefit of a spare 9mm cylinder for cheaper range plinking.
>>64671710no such thing as cheap .357, even 38 costs as much as 5.56
>>64671805>>64672125Excuse me chuds, he declared himself competent with guns one handed now, so you can stop lying. Those are clearly all bullseyes.
would a starship-based gunship or dragon-based gunship work?
>>64673885remove heatshield and wings, add RCS pods and you have a perfectly good orbital spacecraft. especially since spacex is moving towards methalox RCS thrusters and long term cryogenic storage in orbit
>>64673919>good orbital spacecraft>cylindrical fuel tanks>aerodynamic one-directional body>half of engines atmospheric>huge radar reflection>single housing with no redundancies or critical component separationAs lame as it may be, first generation orbital battle ships won't be flashy Burke-class inspired sci-fi destroyer monoliths but more like dispersed oil-rig style construction site.
>>64674024that is the shape you'd want in a military spacecraft you'd put armor and whipple shield at the front and minimize the crosssection maybe even a stealth shield like those stealth sattelites they tested in the 90s.as for the raptors you could run the millitary version with a different engine configuration like all 6 having big nozzles instead of 3 big nozzles and 3 small nozzles for that 30 extra isp. and high acceleration is not a bad thing if it ever gets into a gunfight even if its overkill for 'normal' orbital manuvers
>>64673857Congratulations, you turned one missile into a frag shower still coming at you at 7km/s
>>64674059which is greatif its blown up it cant maneuver anymore so its more likely to miss and in many small pieces its much easier on the shields

Can someone convince me not to buy a set of GTS OA+RF2 plates? My first plate carrier is coming in monday and I want something cheap to throw in em to train with while I save up for non poorfag plates.
>>64673372emt. you're right though, it's an obscure feature, just wanted to show the app is more than just a medication database>>64672346super comfy on this carrier, supports the weight really well.

Why do modern soldiers get PTSDs from killing sandcoons using drones from 40303 miles away safe and with air conditioning when soldiers 2000 years ago rejoicide at the chance of slaughtering the local populance with impunity?
>>64667722You misunderstand life expectancy stats. If the life expectancy is 50, that includes all those that died in service. If you survive that and retire, your expectancy shot up many years.
>>64666284Plenty of ancient soldiers had PTSD, why do you think Trepanning was so widespread?I think 6-7 times in Suetonius alone but Herodotus talked about soldiers at Marathon with symptoms. Caesar though his men were upset in the night about past losses (lol). Plutarch... Seneca...OP you never read any of this why are you here?
>>64666358I mentioned this with Caesar but it comes up OFTEN."My men wail for their mistakes" as if they worry about doing good for Caesar and not just the paycheck. Alexander and Patton thought the same way. Pure ego.

Trump class BBG vs Type 055 Renhai class cruiser. 1v1 ship combat Who wins?

>>64672409Trump Class is likely to be a nuclear powered carrier escort meant to keep up with rapid movement in high sea states. It will need to leverage new weapons like powerful lasers and maybe ABM railguns.
