Chile sending Marders to Ukraine, possibly Leopards.Chile has sent an initial batch of 30 Marders to Europe as part of an extended ringtauche scheme. They will be refitted and sent to the Ukrainian frontline. Chile will recieve Skyranger equipped vehicles in return.It is likely that aging Leopard 1s in Chilean service will be sent along with more Marders.Chile planned to refit it's Leopard 1 fleet as missile destroyers and smart mortar carriers as Chilean Leopard 2s and Marders are upgraded by FAMAE and Turkish partners to totally replace all Leopard 1 tanks and M113 remaining in service. Now it seems that the Leopard 1 and YPR76 vehicle pools may be done away with entirely at a rapid pace, sent abroad, as the Leopard 2A4CHL and Marders become the reserve units at an accelerated pace.A staunch NATO ally, Chile has flirted with purchasing new build Leopards over the years as well as Puma and Lynx infantry fighting vehicles with German arms makers even proposing domestic production. The time for that may come soon. With the sometimes hostile neighbor Peru set to soon induct the K2 MBT and an 8x8 IFV variant of the K808 into service and rival Brazil likely to acquire the CV90MKIV and a new yet announced MBT soon, it is likely that Chile, now with a new pro-military cabinet elect will choose to acquire new build modern armor.
>>64698093>it's seeing a nation which pretended to be developed, morally superior and better than us dragged into the mud, their peoples suffering and ruined something which fill our hearts with delight and joy. We delight in seeing those we hate humilliatedSold.me, Peru it is.
>>64696130>>64696314>>64696459They would need at least 15-20 years to replace their losses even if they are all new hulls.yeah
>>64696104This tends to happen when your country is working normally, in a boring way, while the other side is a clown TV reality show that not even dumb Japanese variety shows would even dare to stage. Of course you'll now more about it, that's how entertainment works.
>>64695919Militarily maybe. But generally he is remembered for; sabotaging the American labor movements and Iran contra, in Europe. Its not positive.

>The oil tanker Bella 1 is fleeing U.S. forces after the U.S. Coast Guard tried to intercept it in the Caribbean. >During the pursuit, the crew painted a Russian flag on the ship and now claim Russian status.>The tanker is under U.S. sanctions for carrying Iranian oil and was heading toward Venezuela. Its tracking signal went dark on Dec. 17, and it has since changed course.>The Bella 1 tanker is still being pursued by U.S. forces after refusing to comply.

>>64697343This thread is a fond one. You are the cancer of this world and a disgusting leeches
>>64698130*good
>>64698028I have some advice; instead of catastrophizing and working yourself into a state of panic, ask yourself one questionIs this a problem I can fix? Or is this out of my control?If the answer is "no"; you don't need to worry about it
>>64697866Yes, this is why Christianity is different from the other two : they reinvented pedophilia without the middle Eastern medieval culture.Arguably that's worse, it could also be considered worse because the Church protected these people by moving them around exposing many new victims every time.
Horsie is safe :)
>>64697690Donkeys are simply too cute to be labor animals, it doesn't make sense. There should be an ugly animal to do ugly jobs. Like the pitbulls of the donkey kingdom should be the ones doing the heavy lifting, and the regular ones should be for cherishing.
>>64697891Sorta hope so. I'm anticipating it might be bad enough to make the 90's in Russia look like 'just a rough spot' compared to what the late 2020's might have in store.At least they'll have plenty of HIV>>64697914It might be the camel, they have a mouth like a sarlacc pit and tend to have their moments of spitting on and biting people for no apparent reason. Like with a lot of livestock you can tell they're unhappy, agitated or need a bit of space, there's areas and ways of approaching them so they don't get anxiety. But I don't think camels do, like they might be fine all day and then just decide 'fuck you' and its all over, its not like they're small either. Full grown camels are pretty big guys
>>64696447>The problem is that most EU nations do not have enough munitions for a long term fight against Russia.You assume it would be a long term fight. European NATO has a massively outsized airforce with large numbers of 5th generation fighters. Russian AD can't deal with the Ukrainian airforce and deep drone strikes. What makes you think they could deal with an actual airforce? >Russia has so many targets that you will need several thousand cruise missiles to really significantly damage their combat capabilitiesThe aim would be to cripple the Russian ability to supply and maintain their forces on the ground. Do the opposite, do you realize how big the rest of Europe is? Russia basically has two major urban conglomerates. Moscow and St. Petersbug. Meanwhile you'd have to deal with everything from Lisbon to Helsinki. The Russians can't even deal with Ukraine and they still have 70-80% of its pre-war industry operational.>EU countries only have several hundred with production in the dozens per year. Europe has an exceptionally decentralized industries owing to the fact you're dealing with 30+ countries>The real question is if the populace outside of the Baltics + Poland are actually willing to fightThe professional standing armies in Europe already outmatch the Russians. If every EU country commited a brigade sized units, excluding minnows like Luxembourg, and larger states commiting several. you'd already be fielding an army in the hundreds of thousands.Even if you only consider the Baltics and Poland, you're already looking at several hundred thousand troops. Adding to that, there are NATO tripwire forces from a dozen European countries in eastern Europe who would not take kindly getting shot at.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>64697690>I dunno if he will go that far, there's enough cash in the sov wealth fund to toddle on at the garbage rate they have been doing.There's not, they're selling oil at $35 per barrel, the budget for 2026 planned at least $60 per barrel. They'll run out of money by the end of 2026 with this persisting. They're already introducing additional taxes and taking away tax deducations and incentives starting with the 1st of January. There's a ~100 billion shortfall in funding.
>>64694606>but that same crudity sometimes gave them more material tolerance in a "will bend a lot but won't break" wayThis comment is completely false and has nothing to do with reality. Especially in Estonia, where western goods were more prevalent, the people always preferred them over soviet garbage.

>>64697139yuropoors invented gay sex and trannies and created the EU and nato to mandate faggotry. 1.5% of russians have aids because gay sex is mandatory as part of basic training in yurop

>>64676372It looks really fake. Also, the interior looks like a 90s cabin cruiser.
>>64697224Hah, i'm so old they were still doing that high speed low drag shit when i was in.>>64697243It's a armored train, of course it looks like the inside of a boat. That image is photoshopped btw, they blacked out the windows in front of him.It really is a nice train, one car has a very well made fold out stage that can be configured with a desk, podium or even conference room while camera angles don't show that the entire side opens up.It feels like this particular one is new, maybe some sort of mobile unit that can be removed from the train and placed somewhere else, maybe a command vehicle that is carried on the train and driven off. The rooms on his train are much wider and the finish (especially the trim) in this picture aren't up to the usual standard.
>>64676372>>64697645>90s cabin cruiser.Huh. While boats and trains share alot of fixture that doesn't mean... >activates autism Look at the ash tray, he's on a boat. Good work anon, damn good work. I think i may have seen it a while ago at a unrelated event in the background and not realized it. Great intuitive noticing anon, really.
>>64697660>>64676372Look at the base of the chair and the shadows, they photoshopped in a wheel to make it look like a office chair instead of a fixed swivel one.
>>64676713Because North Korea never said death to Israel, that’s why.
>retconned as amazing commander >actually complete shit >failed to do even the bare minimum to protect the landing zones in France >planted like 4 mines >crews were so poorly trained they did not fire on ships at all with large gun batteries
>>64696582Ok, but what do those guys know about desert combat that a bunch of fat neck beards on youtube don’t?
>>64697769If luck is constantly on your side, you're just that good.
>>64696470Italy was Churchill's doing. The Yanks didn't want to but was convinced by the promise of airbases closer to France and Germany. Churchill fancied himself a modern day Wellington and thought he could expand the British Empire in the Balkans. The Italian campaign did eventually allowed for the invasion of Southern France and liberated France much faster than if it didn't happen.
>>64697897If your skill goes untested, you're not good the other guy is just shit.
>>64695046You're not cool or intelligent by shitting on genuinely good commanders. I hate this new /k/ trend.
>>64697452> Who do they sell to then?I don’t know. It’s been a while since the competition. If they were gonna resume public sales, they would have done so already. Why buy a company then effectively discontinue its entire catalog?
>>64697261Pics?
>>64697478To sit on the patents, presumably. Many such cases.
can I use a shorter suppressor the longer my barrel is?
>>64698151You can use a less voluminous primary expansion chamber the lower your muzzle pressure (and quantity of unburned powder) is.
>You could fit every Tomahawk the US has produced since 2016 into the number of VLS cells the PLAN added to its fleet in 2025Is this true?:https://x.com/i/status/2006080291098816551
>>64697999Do you actually believe any of this shit or are you just baiting? Either way, here's your (You).
>>64697919>Have thousands of cruise missiles lying around in storage>We need to build more of them because China is building something completely unrelated!What manner of retardation is this?
>>64698118That explains the 25% failure rate of Tomahawks (3/12) in the recent strikes in Nigeria
>>64697919Does that mean the Chinese will produce that number of their Tomahawk class missiles and put them into their VLS cells in 2025?
>>64698159Yeah: >>64697971
>the Army wasn't okay with Forrest Gump being a dumbass>but the Marines were
>>64694306You can't be a moron to enter the Air Force. They get the pick of the litter because they have 18 years olds fixing 82.5 million dollar fighters flown by 22 year old pilots.
>>64696426t. Sun Ta-zoo, the Chinese Prince Matcha Belly.
>>64694306Simple-minded wisdom. Certainly, the Japanese underestimated the Marines up until they had to eat their comrades to survive the onslaught.
>>64697850I can't hate the guy because he loves some stinkers that I also love and he hates some popular shit that I also hate. At the end of the day, it was his opinion, and that's what he thought of the film. People who share his demeanor probably hated it too. People like me (Read: retards) probably like it.
>>64698148Japs were impressed by some wild shit, like the Navy retards dying their shit yellow instead of khaki and not taking cover. Retarded? The Japanese thought they were the an elite suicide unit. Just imagine being a Jap and all two inches are throbbing for those dudes who you will never equal because they're just that badass, and they're fighting you. Meanwhile, everyone on the other side thinks they're retards.
Yes yes the Cold War ended and we are shelving the entire SOSUS system and idk we’ll let universities rent it out to study whales or something. We CERTAINLY haven’t moved on to some other subsurface global monitoring tech!>what do we think the USN has in place these days to vector attack subs in for some easy kills?
>>64696597your assumption is krillect, there is literally no use for old SOSUS technology anymore, there's no use case except to shrimply shut it all off.
>>64696836The WHAT
>>64696922Lidar and radar are now sensitive enough to detect the wake from whales and submarines.We also have enough computing power to link the various neutrino detectors and spot live reactors.
>>64696597They have James Cameron. Seriously. He's doing spook stuff. All the "ticket sales" from the Avatar movies are just cover for the USN/CIA to pay him. GabeN too.
>>64697080>>64696922>>64696836Only sort of. From my reading of the literature it depends on depth and speed.
Post wheelgats. Just bought this 3rd change hand ejector dated to roughly 1912
Based model 10/m&p/victory/most prevalent double action revolver in the world guy here! Just added two more to the pile! Going on 23 copys of this wheel gat in my collection. These two came from a local sheriff's son who I drink and do coke with.

I love 7mm-08 and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
>>64696858Thanks fren. It’s a cool cartridge.
i think .358 winchester is a most cromulent cartridge
Sorry bro, you’re not allowed to like 7mm-08 anymore. We established in the other thread that it has the worst name of all the cartridges, thereby rendering it cringe.>>64697230>cromulentHey I learned a new word, thanks anon. But do you really mean that 358 Winchester is just a merely adequate cartridge? I played around with the idea of a 358 Winchester with a shorter case (or an 8.6 blackout necked up) in an online ballistics computer. It could be a seriously impressive cartridge. >3000ft*lbs with a very high BC and all from a very short barrel. Could also do ultralight bullets at 3200+ fps, CETME-style. And the more I think of it, the more certain I am that that is what 8.6 blackout should have been.
>>64697422i just think it works is allsimple as
>>64697422worst name but the best compromiseit's not pencil-dicked like 6.5 but still gets 5.56-like velocity with decent BC bullets without burning up barrels

>>64695355You clearly don’t know what phosphate is or what it’s used, you don’t know the percentage of this resource that Morocco controls via its claim to the Western Sahara and finally you don’t understand the lengths that Uncle Sam would go to in order to secure that monopoly via a client state. I’ll give you a chance to do some Google searches and then get back to the thread. Spain, even as a NATO member, would not have 1/10th the strategic value to the U.S. in a hot war against China as a country that can unilaterally shut down fertilizer production for China and any of its supporting client states.
>>64697237>. in a hot war against China as a country that can unilaterally shut downYou can't ship millions of tons if there's a hot war, fucking dumbass. You're mixing the order of things, if the US wants to control that phosphate is to blackmail China during "peace" time. KYS,.
>>64694666They are going to wait until 2040 to see if that promised Euro fighter will even happen? I don't think these Turkish fighters are going to be the stop gap that Spain is really going to want if we are looking at almost two decades for a fighter that hasn't even entered the design phase.
>>64697237>>64697253Anons, China is the largest phosphate producer in the world. It might not have the large reserves left but enough to outlast any conventional war. Controlling Morocco is useful to prevent China from gaining control over the resource like it does with rare earths.
