The 3-day SMO has now lasted longer than the Great Patriotic War
>>64746397The average person doesn't wanna live surrounded by shit, humans are naturally cleanly animals, some of the oldest human ruins ever discovered show methods of waste disposal and we have evidence of indoor plumbing that's almost 4000 years old. It makes sense that keeping the place clean would be generally appreciated by normal people.Of course, these are Russians we're talking about, who seem to just have zero issues living in garbage piles.
>>64746408I think Anthony Beevors book about the battle of Berlin said something about that Basically the NKVD/Commissariat were sidelined in favour of military efficiency but after the victory they got their power back and then cracked down on the army
>>64746269Tbh, the Russians probably wouldn't have done anything to save Maduro (because they couldn't lol) and Khamenei remains to be seen.

Do wooden logs work as armor or is it cope?
>>64677114>>Blyat! I will dig that out and hammer on it by the fire later. Maybe valuable inside.
On aggregate level it's not worth it as it causes extra wear and tear on the engine and transmission system of the vehicle. However individual crews don't care about that, so in their view even little help is worth it.
>>64682830The cope cages are supposed to help keep the roof protected from the small shit dropped by quad copter drones, not a javelin attack.
>>64743826The original cope cage was expressly an anti-Javelin measure, that's why they're called cope cages. They do have some utility as slat armor though, which as you pointed out works against the flotsam dumped on tank roofs from drones. The Israelis deployed Merkavas with cages for that purpose when the current Gaza imbroglio kicked off.

Where's everyone that claimed that attack helicopters and air assaults were obsolete now?
>>64716908You may be correct in the theoretical sense, but with no money it does require a higher caliber of people
>>64722703>or a drone that can kill your heloThe only drones that can do that are large multi-million dollar attack craft that at best can achieve parity with ill-maintained Russian gunships. Pound per pound, drones are absolute shit at Air-to-Air, and the vast majority of attempts to shoot down helos with them, even in Ukraine ended up with the chopper on top.
>>64717359NATO is the closest thing. Same equipment, same training.Never thought they would be viewed as an adversary though.

Could plastic garbage from the ocean be used for 3D printers for printing guns like FGC-9?
>>64728214>They are pagpag eaters in the eyes of westernersWesterner here. I don't know what that is. You're all SEAmonkeys as far as I'm concerned.
>>64624726That’s PETG and a mix of HDPE won’t be all that great The plastic used in 3d printers is a byproduct of food waste anyway like the yogurt run off and high fructose corn syrup
>>64624726You can use bacterial readily available to break the plastic down and turn it into nuclear missles.
>>64624726I thought bacteria has already evolved and is slowly eating away at the plastic trash island in the ocean
>>64740970>>64743919Bacteria that break down plastic are pretty rare. No reason they cant evolve, its still a form of hydrocarbon so there is useable energy in it. But they would be extremophiles. Thing is, if they ever evolve and propagate at scale, plastic starts to lose its primary use of being a hard material that doesnt decay (other than from UV). If plastic just decays because badteria eat it, then at that point wood and metal would be more useful.
Why is French firearm design so strange?
>>64746253The joke is that in Britain, the women have to be threatened with violence to fuck smelly Pakis, whilst in Upper Morocco, they have no such qualms
>>64746270>hey we let our daughters get raped on mass, but at least we aren't French God is there a people more despicable than the bong. not for the casual accusation of race mixing, but at casually joking with their own rapet-not even a real country
>>64746280It's not a joke, it's a fact. French women are some of the loosest and most open to miscegenation this side of the Donbass. Not my fault that you live in a nation of whores and cuckolds.
>>64746297>I'm Frenchwrong by two countries but please regale me how loose women are worse than your daughters getting raped and the authorities doing nothing and population taking it all with a stiff upper lip instead of lynchings
>>64741881It's honestly puzzling we voluntarily send the dumbest, darkest, most baboon-esque recruits straight to the régiment du train instead of building a somewhat competent logistic force with people of average intelligence. I wonder why that is.
What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.
>>64746392Blows can very much defend an area with adequate preperation. Their rate of fire is much better than a crossbow or black powder musket/rifle. You're not going to be sprinting and jumping around like legolas, with a compound bow especially, but english archers were supposedly able to put out 10-12 arrows a minute in rapid fire scenarios.

There’s been a noticeable lack of innovation in tactical gear for over a decade now. A Delta operator in 2026 looks nearly indistinguishable from one in 2016. Why are we in this gear plateau? Have we reached the maximum potential for development?
>>64743928because Drones, AI, and Robots are coming.The logical next step to infantry/smalkl arms warfare was exosuits & power armor but that's too expensive now that there's a cheaper solutionand not to mention much less dangerous to those in chargewe're heading towards a globohomo technocracycyberpunk but gay basically

>>64746291There's no RR military engine equivalent to the F-414. It'll take them 5 years minimum to make a new one.
>>64746341>It'll take them 5 years minimum to make a new one.That's fine. I'd rather Europe invest the time and effort in producing counterparts to the F-414 and any future iterations than to shit and piss themselves whenever the US starts doing what its doing now
>>64746341EJ200?60kN dry, 90kN wet Compared to the latest F414 variant, with ~58kN dry and ~98kN wet. The EJ200 also has a software "war setting" mode that allows it to hit ~65-70kN dry and ~95-100kN wet, though with increased engine wear. And just like the F414, there are proposed higher-thrust versions of the EJ200 that have been demonstrated, but never put into production because the Eurofighter partner nations prefer lower thrust and higher engine life. But if someone DID need/want an EJ200 with higher thrust (75-80kN dry and ~120kN wet) they could likely deliver that engine with a few years of development effort, though it would likely not have SUPER long service life without regular overhauls.
>>64746359Save that enthusiasm for whatever VCE engine is going into the GCAP instead of trying to remake a 90s engine.>>64746387Wrong mounting and fuel pump points, plus it's lighter. You're looking a whole redesign for the rear of the aircraft, or the EJ230, both of which will take 5+ years.
>>64746419>for whatever VCE engine is going into the GCAPFantasy, RR themselves confirmed the GCAP engine isn't variable cycle.> Mark Tivey, business development director for future programs at Rolls, tells Aviation Week; “We understand the adaptive engine, and we have looked at that technology for the mission set this aircraft will face, and we do not believe it earns its way onto the aircraft,” Tivey explains. “You will get benefits from such an engine—an economy mode and a warfighting mode—but the trade-off between the cost and the capability is a pretty fine one, and we do not think it is justified in the mission set for GCAP.”
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.

How hard would it be for a handgonner to hit a man sized target at 60m?
>>64743971because they didn't need to be super accurate guns, their main purpose was to provide volley fire, that's why they were deliberately loaded with undersized balls to make reloads faster but making them more inaccurate. using an appropriately sized ball in a smoothbore musket can get you a relatively small spread, but it takes more time and effort to load which isn't the best thing under the stress of battle, especially when volume of fire is more important than the accuracy of individual shots.these days though, muskets are novelty guns used for fun, so you have plenty of time to experiment with different loads and to use properly sized balls, because you don't have to worry about redcoats ordering a bayonet charge against your position.
>>64734714No it didnt lol. Early guns were super expensive. They also required super rare materials (saltpetre, sulfur) mixed in certain amounts and treated in the correct way; that was privileged knowledge of the cannon maker's guilds. Early cannon was WAYYYY more effective and influential than early hand firearms. >battlefield is dominated by rich man covered head to toe in very expensive steel armor>he has literally spent half of his entire life training in the art of killing other people>he is basically invincible What actually killed this was the pike block, and it happened centuries before competent hand firearms. In France they consider the Battle of Nancy to be the end of the middle ages for this reason; it doesn't really matter how skilled or armored you are when there's 30 tightly packed guys with overlapping pike forests and halberds moving toward you.
