Probably. I remember in (Air Force) BMT one of the instructors was complaining about how expensive switching to OCPs (This was the ABU-OCP transition era) is. He even showed us the math on how expensive it would be for him to switch to OCPs, and it came out to... $500... and how he had to save up for that.
Don't get me wrong; if you're in a position where you have to buy new uniforms, but the military won't give you a uniform allowance for whatever reason, that is bullshit and you should complain (preferably to finance, not some trainees). But this dude, an E-6 (with special duty pay!), was acting like $500 would financially destroy his whole year lmfao. bro I've seen E-2s manage their finances better than this dude ahahahahahaha.

You're right, I'm not, but I'm also not making any quantitative claims about WBP vs PSA vs IO Inc vs Riley, vs Pioneer etc failure rate. I'm just talking about manufacturing processes and metallurgy.
I will claim the failure rate for all these shit AKs is significantly higher though than what we hear of or see from real AK manufacturers, or real kit builds done by good builders.

Recently, a group of a certain demographic settled in my neighborhood and I want to protect myself. The lord here doesn't allow for "exterior modifications" so shit like window bars, motion-activated lights, and cameras are apparently out of the question, even though a pack of "teenagers" tried to break in through one of the windows (but thankfully had a skill issue navigating the broken glass and blinds). If you guys have any suggestions for things I can do to improve my safety, I'd be happy to hear them. The main weak points in my security are my ground-level windows, glass back door, and the front door which has an unkeyed deadbolt (so I can only use the shitty knob lock when I'm out of the house).

Obviously I'm already armed, but that's just the last line of defense and doesn't apply when I'm out of the house (and I don't own a proper safe). I'm working on gtfo of this shithole country, but I need something to improve my odds of survival while I remain for the time being.

I haven't used k since all of the ukraine tourists started shitting the place up but hopefully the new jannies let my thread stay.

It's not even slightly hard to jam. You just use another baofeng. It's not like they support spread spectrum or anything else that would make it hard to instantly enumerate the frequency in use and blast cheeki breeki on in.
>>
>>64339840
That's fine because the general rule with jammers is that you need 10x the power of the radio to fully jam them once you account for distance and conditions.
Directional antennas and NVIS can make this harder as well.
Or, perhaps, a repeater with codes.

The Vortex Spitfire is the same. 5x reticle is small, 3x is tiny.
I don't understand why PA or Vortex can't make a prism with just a simple crosshair reticle. We shouldn't have to pay for ACOG/ELCAN/Steiner to get a decent reticle.

Look man, every military ship classification is relative. If I wanted to be pedantic I'd say a "cruiser" is any habitable ship with a lot of delta-V compared to carriers and battleships, and a "destroyer" is basically the smallest habitable ship that still technically has enough firepower to incapacitate a battleship or carrier under the right circumstances. Carriers carry fighters or at least landing craft and battleships are too awesome to use. I did zero research to check any of this because I'm really making a point about how there's little point in caring about anything beyond trying to get a show to stick to its own rules, which is too much to ask for when they won't stick to sanity.

No, it's completely solid. I'm glad I got it for "only" $1500. I know the syrup drinkers can (or could) get them for cheaper, but still.

More agile, worse electronics and armaments, especially in the then new airframes compared to very mature and fleshed out Phantoms by that point. I doubt Viggens benefitted from US Riven Joint research on IFF and cockpit ergonomics at that time ether.

Hypothetically speaking, let's just say I'm the new leader of a politically unstable, resource-rich, third-world country. My nation is being plagued by terrorists who are funded by a neighboring power, and local security forces are not up to snuff to deal with the threat. How feasible of an idea is it to hire a PMC and integrate them into the military or security services and allow them to execute operations against the enemy?
>>
>>64340358
Retarded thread, not enough specifics to actually answer your question.

The resources in question, are they actively being exploited and providing you with cash flow or are they merely theoretical avenues of income? Is this "neighboring power" a peer adversary to you or will they absolutely fuck your shit if you attack them directly? Are you a pariah state that's actively being sanctioned by the civilized world or are you on good terms with the major powers?

Speaking generally though, you'd be better off hiring PMCs to train and advise your own local security forces and spend the extra money you'd pour into paying the PMCs to actually fight on better equipping your own soldiers. When I hear "politically unstable" I think "you want a competent military on your side".

You'd think that instead of all that 40mm ammo, you could just carry anti-personnel warheads for those RPGs and have the anti-tank gunners pull double duty as enti-emplacement gunners.

Also, if we're assuming that fire & maneuver is the basis of their small unit tactics, what do you do with not one, but two guys ONLY carrying RPGs? Isn't the APC gunner supposed to provide the "fire" element in this scenario? If you encounter a dismounted infantry ambush along a jungle road, are they expected to charge the enemy positions, or just hang back and fire PG-7Vs wildly into the treeline?

With the "Drone Age" quickly coming upon us, what is even the answer to them in warfare? I'd never want to be a soldier but even now, I'd want to be one even less. If all it is is just you waiting around to get dunked by some pencil neck playing with a controller, what is the point? I sometimes hate the turn that the evolution of warfare takes because it just ends up making things even more miserable for everyone. Granted, it is warfare sure. Anyway, what is the answer for drones in warfare and how do you expect things to sort of evolve around drones? Like when tanks first hit the battlefield, what options were made to address them? What about when planes become widely used in combat etc?

Can small drones be detected by current radars?
Continuous, all-around surveillance using powerful radio waves poses the risk of the radar itself being detected and attacked.
>>
>>64339397
I think the most immediate and low-tech solution is AGLs with airburst munitions. I know Benelli was talking about an anti-drone shotgun but it sounds like a PR stunt. Shotguns can intercept drones but nowhere near reliably enough to warrant adding a whole extra guy to each squad who's just there to shoot quadcopters. From that point forward its an EW arms race until we can get lasers strong enough to at least blind a drone reliably mounted to anything bigger than a bicycle
