>>64691064Above O6 you are no longer a real service member, you are political officer (General Officer). You no longer have service requirements like qualifications or PT tests. They no longer do anything for themselves. When General Officers retire, they have to attend a mandatory course where they are retaught basic life skills like driving your own vehicle, making coffee and shopping at the commissary. Again, the military has these courses because there have been issues. General Officers no longer know how to take care of themselves after being waited on hand and foot for years and years. And not all of them are rich fucks or get millions converting their connections into consulting or lobbying. So they get booted out suddenly for retirement after being part of the Illuminati class and have forgotten how to buy toilet paper and do laundry. So no, they are useless old fossils that don't know how to do anything other than say yes or no to their staff based on gut instincts.

>>64691124he was a better shot than the rest of us. My dad was his personal mechanic in the early 90s. him and my dad would shoot my dads Uzi in the back of the shop. he had a lot of mean mugging motherfuckers with him. we knew if he was going to show up because the tv and radio went stupid we lived out in harnett county off line road back then. our old place is some big house now.
Now that the Chink chimpout over the $11B Taiwan weapons deal and most recent numbers print from their imploding economy has wrapped up, I want to tally some numbers for the 'explicitly presented as the largest-ever military exercise around Taiwan'. This exercise was also explicitly stated as a blockade exercise vs the strike exercises of 2024.Taiwanese sources have reported that >6:00 a.m. Dec 29 - 6:00 a.m. Dec 30, 130 PLA aircraft detected. 14 PLAN warships + 14 CCG vessels.>6:00 a.m. Dec 30 – 6:00 a.m. Dec 31 Aircraft: 77 PLA aircraft detected. 17 PLAN warships + 8 CCG vessels.What's so damming to me is that the area of operations for the exercises were 2x larger than that of the 2024, and 3x that of the 2022 Pelosi chimpout. Yet there were less aircraft than in 2024, 130 in a single day vs 150 in a single day. The sorties also started slow, taking till the mid afternoon to get to peak detection rates as per Taiwan MOD. So this is where I really get to the main bit. A blockade requires substantially more sorties, I'm talking 48 sorties just to get 8 planes on CAP for 24h. Yet the PLA did only 130 in a day, barely enough for a dozen planes to be on 24h CAP. There's just no excuse. You NEED to have CAP or else US and Jap planes can just sneak in and rape you. The second day is so pathetically bad with 77 aircraft so I don't even wanna talk about it, just assume it's 2x worse.So you've got what is >supposed to be the biggest exercise ever>covering an area 2x bigger than previous ones>supposedly have 1600 aircraft stationed east of Beijing>yet can only muster up 130 sorties 6 hours laterImplessive. My theory is that the PLA airforce not only has a low readiness, but the logistics are so fucked that they actually can't turn around airplanes fast enough with things as basic as fuel.picrel is taiwan missilehttps://news.usni.org/2025/12/31/china-wraps-justice-mission-taiwan-blockade-drillsComment too long.

I once met a Congolese warlord, when I was a naive young man. I had signed up for an aid program and ended up spending three weeks on a malaria ridden ferry. The brown stinking waters of the Congo and the persistent heat drove even the locals mad. I'd like to say it was something like the heart of darkness or a bit like that time Anthony Bourdain explored the Congo. It wasn't anything like either. It was just a long, sad expanse. Natives squatted on the sides of the river and stared as you passed by. Occasionally in the distance you'd see curling smoke past the tops of the jungle and wonder why. Other times you could taste in the chemical runoff from cobalt mines deep in your nostrils.Eventually we ended up about fifty miles west of gonna, and eventually the local Tutsi warlord learned that white men were giving out medicine. Our conversation with him was passed in equal parts Swahili, Pidgin French and even Classical Arabic thanks to a local Imam. His grandfather was a Simba rebel, his father a Maoist, and he knew no creed besides the almighty dollar. He was charismatic, and had a deep laugh. But there was something lacking in his eyes. When he left, he carried off a daughter from the village who was never seen again.I'm reminded of this, because even that deep into the Congo, he was whiter than >>64708799

It's almost time for $0 tax stamps. You can finally, legally, have fun. Buy a $400 P1S from Bambu, some Pa6-cf filament from polymaker, and get to work. Some 3dp2a guys released the FTN 5.0 suppressors recently. There are suppressors for pistols, pcc's, and rifles. Let's talk about the last one.To start out you will need ONE of these muzzle devices:>Breek threaded muzzle+ Castle Shield <-Best one>KAK slimline micro flash can>1/2x28 to 3/4x16 thread adapterNow you can print an insert that will attach the suppressor body to the muzzle device. The breek insert is a clamshell design. Put the two halves onto the castle shield and screw on the suppressor assembly. The other two will need some epoxy.IF you want the suppressor to be permanent, epoxy the threads of the insert and suppressor body. It'll help with the longevity and make a better gas seal.The main body will NEED to be supported by a sleeve. You can print the sleeve, but the lifespan is shorter with a lot of restrictions. You can use a 56mm ID and 60mm OD aluminum OR carbon fiber tube with jb weld. You can also use fiberglass and resin wrapped around the tube, but this is less effective.Comment too long.

does chaff still work against modern radar?
>>64706305software differentiation doesn't change the objective, physical effect of chaff even if it becomes ineffectivewhat anon said is correct even if his conclusion from that isn't
>>64707537>Ackthually you puthe missile...Yeah. No, dimwit. You put the radar threat in the post. If it happens to be a radar seeker, then yes. Otherwise, not so much.
>>64706163To answer your real question: dispensed chaff slightly increases detection times, which is real good if you're the US right now. It's real bad if you're not because it won't only be radar, it'll be the analysed composite signals of multiple insturments by man and machine. Only if it's bare chaff against bare radar of any kind from a single non-networked source (brown people places), can it do it's job.

I also don't get guns like the CZ 600 trail or the mini mausers. Most ranges aren't long enough to justify needing something further than a 5.56, 7.62x39 is dead and if you wanted a super accurate target rifle, why would you go with a savage axis or ruger American?The CZ 600 trail has got to be for like yuropoors or some kind of weird restrictions where you can't have an AR like the boomer scout rifle shithttps://www.youtube.com/@OnTheScout

>>64708769Anon, if you live in my country, the AR-15 is the most generic, boring rifle on the market. It functions great, but it's the Honda Civic of rifles around here. I don't know where you're from, but around here no one is drooling for an AR-15.

How many Tsar bombas(100megaton ones), would you require to completely sterilize south asia?
>>64708260you could probably sterilize a continent-sized area with a relatively small number of enhanced radiation devices in the megaton range with ground bursts ("cobalt bombs"), along with hitting bunkers. it'd need to be timed with the prevailing winds so that the entire area is covered in the fallout.
>>64708069the ussr actually planned to use a small number of high yield unitary warheads to knock out civilian and military electronics (country-wide), and they'd be followed by lower yield unitary rvs and mirvs for destruction of targets. russia probably has a similar attack plan.

>>64708809Correction>Energy retention is mehIts leaving the barrel with as much energy as a .308, but at 500yards it has about as much as 30-06 has at that distance. Which is ofc nice, certainly puts sneedmore to shame.but the problem with sub-30cal bolt actions, is that somehow, and i dont know why, the end result is always a penis, embedded deep inside of another mans shit hole. its a real mystery.
Bulgaria now has F-16's. Does this change the balance of power in the Black Sea region?
>>64707272>>64707305Realistically if Russia's goal is to return to power in the Black Sea then its primary focus should be on naval aviation, ground based anti-air and anti-ship missiles, ground based air defense, and missile boats. Anything else would be a vanity project.
>>64708428Switching to the Euro prevents one from using monetary policy to influence one's economy.
>>64706531>the balance of power is that russia is backed into a tiny corner and everyone else is on nato's side, it's just that nobody else is yet willing to get directly involved in the war, and quite frankly their help would be more appreciated on land than on sea, as ukraine pretty much has that covered by now, taking control of the northern black sea without even really having a navy.Russia is more backed into a hole than a tiny corner02.01.2026Tanks — 11494 (+6)Armored fighting vehicle — 23851 (+2)Artillery systems — 35720 (+42)MLRS — 1589 (+2)Anti-aircraft warfare — 1267 (+1)Planes — 434Helicopters — 347UAV — 99043 (+590)Cruise missiles — 4137 (+1)Comment too long.

My great grandfather was a decorated officer in the US Airforce during the Korean War. My great uncle has a display case with his medals, and his service rifle, which is a select fire M2 Carbine. I haven't inspected it closely, so idk if it's functional or demilitarized. If it is functional idk if it registered or transferable.Has anyone heard of a scenario like this before? I can't find any examples online of an officer being given an M2 when they retired. I'm also certain that it is an M2, not an M1 Carbine.My great uncle plans to give me his guns, including that one at some point in the near future. Obviously I hope it's transferable, but I think that could only be the case if it was registered when he retired. I doubt that he submitted any paperwork for it later in his life, and I know that my great uncle never did.Any thoughts or advice?
>>64706610>Contrary to popular never-served belief, NOBODY has ever been "given" a military weapon upon discharge that wasn't specifically built for that commemorative event.I think that's a myth that has been pushed by people stealing arms.

Sorry glowniggers, that was 20 years ago and they were aquaintences whose names I can't remember and are probably dead now anyway.
