We're undeniably in the age of the drone, modern militaries have very little cost effective counters to small mass produced drones, but that wont last, better detection and interception technology like interceptor drones, lazars, specialized ammunition, better EW are being developed and slowly rolled out, the Ukraine war will be viewed like how we view world war one, a strange inflection point of bad and outdated strategy meeting new more powerful weapons. the drone will eventually be just another tool in the arsenal instead of a wonder weapon,
>>65033483Isn't the warhead to fuel(battery) ratio also better?And higher loiter time enables mission profiles missiles don't cover.
>>65033483you can have cheap drones and expensive drones at the same time.Its extremely valuable to have swarms to terrorize infantry and then have an advanced loitering drone ready to attack something important when opportunities reveal themselves. drone technology will also only get cheaper over time so what may be wasteful today will be disposable tomorrow
>>65033532they work hand in hand. missiles deliver payloads that drones can't at speeds that you can't take cover from.drones can change targets at will and choose the most opportunistic time to strike while being able to pick out individual soldiers
>>65033593It's not a binary better/worse thing, it's different and has both benefits and downsides:- electric power allows to use multi-rotor designs with a fucked up level of maneuverability and rapid acceleration;- basic bitch internal combustion engines with propellers elevate a drone to a cheap cruise missile, which is too costly to counter with conventional AA, and also harder to even lock on because no jet stream of heat exists;- and so onThis doesn't mean that missiles are bad or anything though. A missile is obviously harder to shoot down by a guy in a pickup truck with a machine gun. A missile can bring 1000+ lbs warhead to the target, reach it faster and so on.
>>65033255Computers aimed laser turrets will negate the slow drones and force them to be guided missiles. The tech has already been demonstrated on ships. It is surprising that Ukraine doesn't already have a working system for shaheed defense around their major cities.

>>65033957Hormussy stays closed due to jewish insurance and market speculation.Jews are winning at every end of this, and smart investors are too. Sadly, most Americans don't have enough money to play the market and shamefully; Not enough time or knowledge to do so.

why do they keep talking about a summer "collection" if the deadline is October? the feds don't even work over the summer...
>>65033993because we have had several long, trying winters which has collectively depressed the population. summer is hugely significant for Canadians as a morale booster and highlight of the year. if they can put a damper on this time period and ruin it, they will have driven yet another nail in the coffin of the Canadian psyche. the timing of these threats and exercises are not random nor are they done with their expressed purpose in mind. it is meant to serve as a constant, never-ending barrage of demoralization and harassment to remind you of their power structure and to reinforce who is in charge.

Pretty sure this is the first time an AWACS has been taken out by enemy fire, even if on the ground.
>>65021088I have nothing to contribute to this thread except that AWAWACS pic anon shooped like 2 weeks ago that I found funny. Also checked.
>>65030750They're now saying TWO AWACS were damaged/destroyed, not just one. NPR reported they'd confirmed this.

>>65030511>clean you AR-15 with a pull throughWell here's your first mistake. Bore snakes are an abomination. They don't clean anything, what they do on the other hand is literally attract all the dirt, grime, shavings, and embed that shit in the textile. Congratulations, you're basically wiping your ass with toilet paper already full of shit.Use a proper rod and a brush, animal.
ITT: aircraft nobody likes or cares about
>>65033501>F/A-18Ethat's the Super Hornet which is a different airplane entirely.The only valid timeline of comparison (and even the F/A-18A-B-C-D is a different step beyond, after Northrop handed off the Navy fighter project to McDonnell Douglas) is the F-5 through F/A-18My post you replied to was about the relative difference betweent Northrop's initial twin-engine P-530 proposals, and the resulting Lightweight Fighter competition entry YF-17<--between which there was little size or weight difference.Once the YF-17 was shunted into a Navy fighter (_and_ Attack aircraft) program, it became a different airplaneNorthrop (during the 1975-77 period) had a "YF-18" navy fighter proposal but this, like the few-years-later resulting F/A-18A had different landing gear, wings, fuselage configuration and weight increases over the original Air Force YF-17 prototype. The Air Force's 1973 YF-17 was supposed to be a Light Weight Fighter (and look today decades later at the Block 50+ F-16s), bloat is inevitable
This probably has been asked a lot, but are bolters realistic? And if they could exist, would they be as good at penetrating armor as the tabletop game suggests?
>>65031811he says only superficial damage, you say he's right, superficial like an assault rilfe. i say he should kill himself for doing real world physics with the fluff of a tabletop game and you should kill yourself for not knowing what agreement means. i will allow you the dignity of choosing which gigachad i should be portrayed as.
>>65028560They are posible to make and yes they would be probably good at penetrating armor Being a 75caliber but the cons are they are werry expensive to make plus who would use them when other weapons are good enough for the curent Job any way so why bother
What about chainswords?
>>65032145They'd instantly stop and get clogged.
>>65031722He really isn't. Had some video a while ago that he had to stop making videos because he was going to the doctor too much. He thought he had testosterone deficiency because he's 33 and still looks 18, but it turns out his test levels are literally off the scale, which, combined with his looking 18, means something is going fucky wucky in his endocrine system. Idk if he's done a medical update since.

Do soldiers in the military have any countermeasures of protocols for dealing with flame weapons?
>>65024266That's because they're too retarded to realize "orange hitler" won then and in 2024 because he got the vote of the blue collar union workers, which the leftists have been taking for granted for decades.

What was the worst military you worked with?
>>65031102To expand on this, every shit thing that's happened to me was done by or caused by someone wearing the same uniform as me. It wasn't a French corporal that "forgot" to relieve me on stag, causing me to get hypothermia in Wales. It wasn't a Danish MP that kicked the shit out of me when I was caught pissing in public. It wasn't a German officer who sentenced me to three weeks ROPs for racing down aldershot high street in shopping trolleys. It wasn't an American major who barred me entry to the cookhouse after weeks in the field because I was "dirty". In fact the americans made us welcome in their D-Fac after that.
>>65026870like the other anon said, this thread is a staple of /k/, but only an idiot would believe anything said ITT as factual. It's all made up stuff from neverserved virgins.

Illiterate conscript army who weren't given live ammunition until they were out of range of any officers.Egypt is so typical of a thirdie military dictatorship you could probably use it as a "control group" or yardstick by which all others are measured. Like the army is really big and dressed up in grotesque kitsch while also being total ass and everyone in it hates themselves and everyone else and Egypt itself for making them be there and do nothing but be insulted, degraded, and humiliated by the most moronic people in the country who just have you do pointless parade training: https://youtu.be/3QL24qK1H6o
How the fuck do you stop the Houthi? I'm sick of them camping out in the mountains and periodically crashing my portfolio. What weapons does it take?
>>65019315Maintain a constant presence of AI-powered surveillance UAVs that detect threats and automatically send information to nearby USV drone carriers to send out drone swarms at them.
>>65032531>but the GCC actually want Iran to fuck off and stop.True, but the problem is they keep getting bombed in response even if they want Iran to actually be stopped, and the current threat is to their various industrial sectors that keep them afloat as countries. I think we could protect them for the most part but someone is inevitably gonna get hit and then that'll reflect poorly.
