Whatever happened to the patch threads?
>>64760458That's sad. I wasn't ever a patchfag, but I scrolled the thread from time to time. My favorite was the spooky opossum skeleton patch. Shoulda saves a pic of that one.You should start them again. If that fagott with the soft core nip porno mags can't kill /hg/ some trolls shouldn't be able kill the patch thread.
>>64760601No, but they are directly military and law enforcement related.

>>64768094Everyone should have at least one Ruger Mk with a bull barrel

Once you have all three, you can practice any action you want at any time.>kinda want a revolver but feel like anything other than .38/.357 is sacrilege.Nah, .22 is a rimmed cartridge, so it's a great revolver cartridge. Getting a target pistol in .22 like >>64768165 recommended is great, and then you could get a revolver in .22 and be able to train both handgun disciplines too.
>>64768165I can’t decide between a MK IV or a Glock 44
>>64768407MK IV, the glock 44 is trash. Or get a Taurus TX22

>>64766785More hints throughout would have definitely been helpful in selling the idea of being trapped in one's mind in one moment. An existence between life and death, it's the Twilight Zone and there were so many episodes of that series they could have used for inspiration. Sprinkle more hints throughout to establish that things are off. Instead they just give some very shallow imagery and a silly reveal at the end. Wasted potential, indeed.
>>64755931you should have realized, having read thousands of books, that Le Carre does that intentionallythe idea is you're hearing the story from Smiley, or someone like him, basically
I want to throw in an odd one.>A Very Long Engagement (Un long dimanche de fiançailles)At its core it is a romance and detective film set directly after WW1. So if some of you fucks are looking for a movie to watch with your girl, this might be your chance. Because it is also a hidden war drama.And for all the loner war autists on here - the WW1 scenes are abso-fucking-lutely great.All that aside, it is really just a great movie overall. And Audrey Tautou is just as cute as always.
What causes slavabooitis and how can it be cured?
>what causes itAppreciation for top tier technology produced economically without MIC budget rape>how to cure it Overdose on CIA propaganda
>>64766422>>64766927An additional contrast is how familiarity turns things mundane and foreignness is exotic. If you know your cousin Jared is in the Army and he's a cringe doofus but you see Russians how Russia exports its own image then you'll think Russian men are tougher and more masculine.You look at a "tough Russian man" and don't see how he was a cringe kid too, but took a few beatings from an alcoholic father, then got his dose of dedovshchina in his mandatory service, maybe did a stint in prison, etc and his toughness is a shield to prevent being victimized again.You'd think an army of tough guys would solo NATO, but turns out they'll start torturing and executing civilians for no fucking reason.
>>64766422I just think Soviet stuff looks cool, why do you hate me so much? :(
>>64766977>top tier technology produced economically without MIC budget rape
>>64766927It's the same thing with economics. A surprisingly high number of iditos in eastern Europe will see influencer vlogs from Moscow, and think "Wow! What a nice place. The EU could never do something like that for us. We should join Russia again."Of course, outside Moscow, everything sucks.
Do standard fortification and entrenching method counter onky artillery or also air strikes?
>>64768167that's not smart munitions that's fire contol
>>64768136Rare pepe
>>64768223Yes, because we used to not have smart munitions. Now we do, therefore the era of dumb munitions is behind us.
>>64768226For a blue board the pepes here are immaculate.>>64768136Wouldn't we be seeing more airstrikes in Ukraine if they didn't protect soldiers? For some reason I don't hear of air power being used, must be the stingers.
>>64768227>Now we do, therefore the era of dumb munitions is behind us.Huh, I didnt know the thosands of 81mm mortar shells in warhouses I will be issued in case of war was guided. Good to know
"The French copies nobody and nobody copies the French." is what made me think of this. So say you have a small nation with competent industries to execute on original designs as need. Something like a denmark or or an estonia. This nation sometime around what would be the ww1 of a strangereal type not irl 20th centaury is a state that is on the periphery and can operate next to allied in larger conflicts. They are mentally cursed to be infinitely insistent on going for some 'other way' option on most everything when it comes to doctrines and military designs. Armoured trains, airships, Submarines that can also drive over the surface of the ocean floor and other things that just never got picked up.How much value would there be having 'stuff' that the enemy militaries would by necessity have low on their on priority lists for countering in practice?
You can't polish a turd.
>>64768166>How much value would there be having 'stuff' that the enemy militaries would by necessity have low on their on priority lists for countering in practice?If they are using things easily countered (airships especially) it would be trivial for a military to issue incendiary bullets to counter said weapon, and airships as they stand are fucking useless. Many militaries would probably work around the advantages provided by 'unconventional' sources of military strength, especially those which are expensive to counter without already having some hard counter (such as aircraft to destroy armored trains). If the country is small, advantages provided by these potentially money eating ventures would be negligible, and overall probably work against the nation rather than for it.
A large number of small modular multipurpose biplanes such as the the glorious Po-2M concept. Make them so they can be configured as small missile trucks, light cargo carriers, marine patrol, seaplanes, VIP transport, drone hunters, ambulances, ect. The Po-2 had several dozen variants most of which would be still useful to this day and something that could perform all those roles would be quite handy.As part of a larger coalition they would be great not only because everyone would find some use for them but because you could divide them up among all your allies: Everyone would see them being used and thus reminding them that you are doing your part. By making a visible contribution that attracts comment you ensure support, praise and aid not to mention ensuring a positive public image in the general populace. >Oh look, it's one of those biplanes from the Norktardistani weirdos dropping off a few of our wounded guys. I heard they stopped a Durkastani drone the other night, those guys are OK by me!

>>64760759Yeah I agree, the AH 1Z would have been better than the T129 but, the government probably chose it for Political reasons too since we signed that massive deal with Turkey to build munitions factories in Bangladesh. The AH 1Z uses the same engines as the AW149 (and Blackhawk) too so, that combination would have had some good synergy as well. But, at the end of the day I don't mind acquiring bellow par (using that term loosely) weapons if it means we have to opportunity to create our own supply chains and manufacturing capabilities.

>>64764541any news on the frigates?
>>64767151Yes, but from the Dutch.

Is there a branch that is sort of functional and elitist in the russian military? >vdvNigga pleaseIn India, the Navy is the most elitist branch, they are professionals about it>Black sea fleet is now the submarine forceYeah, I know they were pathetic in this war
>>64767605Nah, Mykolayiv was in fact up to doing this sort of work, but russia decided that they'll do everything themselves and had to use their own northern shipyards, which usually worked on subs.
>>64767752While an oppressive and micromanaging government can fuck up just about anything and have it still kinda plod along the rules for getting to space are the same for everyone so you have to let the eggheads do their thing or you don't get to space. It's not that they don't have smart people working on anything else, it's that the space program is the only thing where the smartypants nerds weren't constantly hamstrung since building big fuckoff rockets is a big national security concern that the government is going to throw a lot of resources at.
Every time I look up Russia's current warship construction schedule, I laugh. >Remember the fallen
>>64767752They had nothing special. During soviet times they were drowning in resources, both financial, industrial and human. You could read soviet butthurt of some of the people in charge of the state how each retarded space program launch (which usually had a ton of failures because "hurr-durr must overtake americans") would burn the amount of money it would take to build a new city kek. "We're launching cities" (while people didn't have food, toilet paper, apartments, etc). Post-USSR it was mostly about having a ton of retards working for peanuts (don't look up salaries in RU space sector, you'll have a heart attack) and using proven old designs, where everybody knew what they were doing basically to the point of automation. It was in face every time when they've tried to do something new that shit happened, e.g. when they've moving shit from analogue to digital and such. Basically the program ran on fumes for a decade, while shit got hollowed out slowly. To the point that the moscow offices of some of the space-related companies had more value in terms of real-estate: demolish shit and build some overpriced commie-blocks, ship off the people and tooling to bumfuck of Omsk where you have pay the shit salaries easier. Any real new stuff basically got stuck. Look up their programs on the Angara modular missile. Or the new space station. Or the new space ship (Federatsiya / Orel). Everything is either downsized after decades of spinning in place or just continues to be "we'll have everything done later, I promise" bullshit kek.
>>64767957SSO == special operation forces
What are your views on these?Will they dominate or are they overhyped?What are their advantages and drawbacks?
>>64768241Sure, but like FPVs their logistical role in Ukraine is greater than it would be otherwise due to the scarcity of VSHORAD. Compare with a hypothetical midfuture firstworld army:-a halo of scouting drones and FPVs-surrounding the local AA units, which are also IFVs, and carrying the infantry-spotting for the deep strike artillery-trailed by traditional logistics with onboard AA, every RWS is also an anti-drone gun linked into the BMSIn this scenario logistics is going to be split between extra supply on the IFVs, no need for the same forward supply since artillery is moved back a few hudnred km, and 'conventional' quick resupply which is logistics trucks plus heavy-lift aerial drones for delivery.
>>64768199yes its spike firefly
>>64767844nice dubsI propose some future solutions to these issues:>Battery/fuel tanks restrict distance and how long it can operate. solar panels>has limited amount of ammo, will require human operators to reload/unjam it.eventually, a single robotic arm could be used to place a magazine into an exposed magwell, and quadcopter drones could just fly low and drop the magazines or even hand them off to the robot arm.>if it flips it will require human operators to flip it back up>if it gets stuck in the middle will require a recovery vehicle to pull it out robot arm also solves these if it's strong enough>no defense against FPVsyou could build in a ring of defensive bird shot chambers around the turret oriented upward>susceptible to EW, unlike an FPF I imagine it’s very difficult to run a fiber optic cable on it because it rolls around in the ground. as AI advances, it is possible (although terrifying) that they will one day be completely autonomous. For now though, you are right. pic related
>>64768347>can build star wars droids>cant even build a shitty prop droneStrategic implications?
When trying to destroy a stationary enemy surface drome, is level bombing like its 1943 really the most effective way to engage them, or is Russia utilizing suboptimal methods here?
>>64766440I think of that rocket spam clip everytime someone says drones have made surface ships obsolete (and also the webm of the night attack where a Russian sailor tries to brace a PKM against slick bare railing while a seababy does donuts 50 yards away) and realize we should probably hold off on judgement until we see how drones do against an opponent that is competent enough to offer actual resistance.Related note, does anyone have said webm of the night attack as seen from the perspective of the Russian crew?
>>64768212>>with satellite guidanceAND ground stations to augment/correct the satellite data!
>>64768235>does anyone have said webm of the night attack as seen from the perspective of the Russian crew?this one?
>>64768168>in the first months of the Russian military intervention in the Syrian civil war, Russian aircraft equipped with the SVP-24 usually missed their targets by around 100 metresTo put that into perspective, in 1943 the notoriously under-performing Norden bombsight delivered a CEP on average of 370m and it was a self-contained mechanical computer. No electronics, no radar-fed data, no satellite guidance signal, just someone adjusting knobs by hand while squinting through a telescope at 12,000 feet.
>>64768280The one I'm thinking of had someone shining a spotlight on a seadrone that was literally doing donuts right next to the ship
