>>64748802>AFV tier weaponryInfantry has used 20mm guns for a hundred years, despite the average height then being much less than 6 feet. An exoskeleton would surely make them more viable again, and in bigger calibres. Bigger guns, more ammo, more power to dig trenches, faster reaction times for heavy weapons in a harder to hit package, less busted knees, more resistance to explosives and fragments that still cause most infantry casualties. If it can fit some wheels or tracks, it'd also serve as a motor transport. It's just a matter of cost and how to best employ such units. Putting them in a frontline trench to get destroyed by a few HEAT FPVs is obviously not it.
>>64751260I mean, there were serious technical limitations for it. Like requiring power from the entire Shiva Star capacitor bank to function. Now what I do bet is that some of what they learned went along to other projects (cough...Dugway Zapper). Kirtland AFB is the home of the Directed Energy Directorate of the USAF, after all. God knows what else they were doing at KAFB/Phillips Lab or Sandia. Speaking of "what ever happened with that", we should add hafnium isomers to that list. https://www.afrl.af.mil/RD/
By using quantum sensing instead of traditional lenses and a CMOS camera, and then running reconstruction algorithms over time on the input, it's possible to get 20x the range, 1000x the processing speed, and sub-diffraction images. It also reduces size and cost from Hubble scale to a big cubesat size.

>>64751676Army is buckbroken due to years of IRGC buttfucking them, but there were multiple reports of IRGC (and possibly basij) commanders getting surprise visits at home.It's one of the well-established facts that a secret police only works as long as people cower in fear. When the commanders are being lynched while police are magdumping into crowds of thousands, that fear is obviously not working.Which may result in fragmentation instead of (counter) revolution, but who knows.
>>64752031>secret police Sorry to break it to you but that was only a thing under the shah which was a major why the Islamic revolution took place. This failed regime change operation will never take off because it just a bunch of pajeets and kikes smuggled in through the gulf

Why does Japan always have such a strong navy?
>>64751034So the Japanese navy quickly became the favorite child, and the place where ambitious families would send their men to be officers, in comparison into the army. Also, now it was the 1920s and Japan was realizing that they’d won every fight they’ve gotten themselves into, and they were surrounded by a bunch of kind of minimally-tapped markets, thanks to Europe being so far away. So they began to fancy themselves an empire. empires need logistics, empires need force projection, empires need massive navies. so yes, Japan is an island, but also basically every possible factor worked together to make sure that their navy received a ridiculous amount of attention. Their Civil War was won on the idea of making a strong navy, they gave the strongest faction that won that war control of the Navy, the Navy kicked russia’s ass in the first public display of Japan as a modern country to the delight of everyone the government, and then they wanted to be an empire.

>>64752188>you're trying to weasel out by moving goal postsamateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics, my dearthere's no point in showing me your bespoke 19th-century precision fuze mechanism if it is not mass-producible for millions of shellsand if it is too inconsistent for reliable battlefield use, as was the case for Napoleonic-era artilleryWW1 is the moment when artillery shells made the leap from simple powder fuzes to more complex types, eventually attaining mechanical time fuzes by war's end which is what most armies used through to WW2, in turn eventually succeeded by proximity fuze>variable time fuzes are 1905 tier techrepeating your statement doesn't make it any less wrong
>>64752208but it's not wrong at all, that's the issuesuch fuzes were not put into mass production because there was no need for them, impact fuzes were still deemed good enough until 1914 rolled along and showed everyone how wrong they had been in believing that
>>64727248Depends a lot on how tough the dragons scales are, if it can take pistol rounds it rules the skies of early WW1, if it can take rifle rounds it rules until the interwar period.As for the ground attack role it would probably get fucked by late 1600s cannon, hard to hit but it would be eventually.

>>64749382Which is worse for turd world delusions, the US is so good (or the Venezuelans and Cubans so bad ) conventionally that a few choppers of Rangers can yoink a dictator out of his palace in a running gun battle, or the US has tech so advanced they can simply incapacitate an entire area with directed sound?
>>64752227you know that common take that everyone parrots about semi-auto being superior to full auto in a gun fight that even SEALs parrot?yeah it doesn't apply to Delta.It's just a cope for anyone who hasn't trained enough on full auto.

>>64721873I know the thread has devolved into useless shit-flinging (as usual) but how old were these radars and what missile systems were they paired with? You can't shoot anything down with radar alone.

The ziggers have come up with another brilliant plan to counter drones, walking tents! Guessing mostly for night ops to reduce thermal signature? Because these are definitely not good for day time at least. Though it'd be hilarious to see them try assaulting with these fucking things on.

Sup /k/, i need your support in reasoning with my 73yo father. So naturally he does lot of old fasioned choices. Like hunting roe with .222, i mean its a nice calibre for foxes, where i want little holes in the fur, but .222 in roe just destroys to much meat so i use 7x57. Next thing he loves .308. .308 isn't a good hunting round, 7x57 is in all term superiour aside killing power and then i use 9,3x62 anyway. Only reason i can imagine is he tries to be cheap on ammo. How can i reason with him? Also feel free to share stories about old men gun wisdoms.

Russia has for the first time deployed new strike drones, the 'Geran-5' and 'Geran-4'.>Russian forces first used the new strike drone 'Geran-5' during attacks on Ukraine in early 2026, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. The drone is a large jet-powered UAV with a classic aerodynamic design, differing from earlier models.>The 'Geran-5' has a length of about 6 meters and a wingspan of about 5.5 meters. It is equipped with a Chinese-made turbojet engine, capable of carrying a warhead weighing about 90 kg and hitting targets at a distance of up to 1,000–1,050 km. Its navigation system includes a 12-channel 'Comet' satellite system, a microcomputer-based tracker, and 3G/4G modems.>According to Ukrainian intelligence, the design of the 'Geran-5' contains elements similar to the Iranian drone Karrar. There are discussions about the possibility of launching this UAV from aircraft, such as the Su-25, and its potential equipping with 'air-to-air' missiles.>As for the 'Geran-4', it is known that it is an intermediate jet version between the early 'Geran' models and the new 'five'. According to preliminary data, this drone may have a warhead weighing about 50 kg, a speed of 350–500 km/h, a range of up to 950 km, and can also be launched from the Su-25.>Thus, the 'Geran-5' is a new jet-powered long-range strike UAV, comparable in its characteristics to a cruise missile, while the 'Geran-4' is considered its less powerful predecessor
