Behold, the worst tank ever made by man
>>65021220It really isn't. Especially not in the 70s after it got a laser rangefinger and some composite armor.Any tank that has ammunition, especially semi-combustible, lying around the fighting compartment has similar issues with ammunition fires (ie most tanks, with the Abrams as a notable exception), and sticking to the carousel mitigates a lot of the turret tossing.It's a pretty good tank. Not the best, but far from the worst, even in its era.
>>65035213To be fair, the 115mm unitary was a good round that was just underdeveloped because the Soviets figured out APFSDS for the 100mm, the T-62 didn't get a ton of sales because it was dramatically more expensive than a T-55 and the T-72 and the 125mm came along quickly enough while not being that much more expensive than a T-62 with more upgrade potential. So R&D focused on 100mm and 125mm ammo.
>>65024145the majority of tank attrition back then was mechanical failure.
>>65040559it could be a side armor penetration ?
>>65044984it's just the camera angle, t-72 isn't that small, IIRC iraqi domestic built is a bit more spacious

Well as a surprise to no one, the UK can't afford a defense project and is trying to slow GCAP down by not paying.https://www.ft.com/content/c3de1d53-4aa8-4e11-87b1-409172bdc3ef?syn-25a6b1a6=1
>>65045961Canada is joining as an observer, they're not involved in any further way beyond that.Really it's just a way for canada to get access to classified testing data that isn't available to non-observing members. They're probably kept more abreast of the program timeline, and they'd be one of the first nations they come to talk to about export orders.
>>65045979Given Canada’s plane procurement woes I think they’ll observe the price tag before doing a 360 and walking away. In the ideal scenario I doubt they get the unit cost below $150 million, and realistically I could see it going higher.
>>64997553when you look at this shit you have to understand that the british government is deliberately burning vast sums of money on destructive bullshit (immigrants, green energy) for the sole purpose of completely destroying the economy in order that the country can no longer survive independently, forcing it back into the eu as a vassal state.that's when it all becomes clear.
>>65046020Realistically I don't see anything below $200M as even possible.Even if GCAPs scale breaks 500 airframe orders in the first decade. It'll still be $200M+.They'll be lucky to bring it below $250M.
>>65046020>before doing a 360So, the same as before? Fitting for typical canucks, kek

>>65046889>>65046993My asshole has been itchy for like 8 months now. At first, I thought it was hemorrhoids, so I ignored it, thinking it would go away. It got significantly worse, so then I thought it was parasites. I took some parasite medication, and it didn't really help. So I went back to the hemorrhoid theory and bought some preparation H. It helped, but hasn't really solved it. Every now and again, the thought of ass cancer crosses my mind, but getting that diagnosed would involve having someone look at my ass hole, and that's extremely fucking gay. So idk, I'm just going to keep using the preparation H.

Why did older, obsolete SAM systems outperform the supposedly high-end ones? Both the THAAD and the S-400 have been major disappointments.
>I stole a post from /r/NCDThis might be a self a report, but I'm bringing you with me you faggot.
The whole point of IADS is each system is optimized for certain targets, THAAD and the S-400 are both anti-ballistic missile systems that get dunked on by crop dusters throwing VOGs out the window.The issue right now is there isn't any small drone optimized systems leaving a capability gap.

>>65046306>paki propaganda AI slop andLmao okay. Just for reference some of those images are downed paki aircraft (old Mirages) and even so maybe you missed the part where 12 of their bases were rendered unusable and their C&C centre blown up and pakis went begging to their benefactor for a ceasefire. In a real war i'd know which side was "winning">>65046312This is exactly why i'm against the Rafale deal and India's approach in general. It's going to be a shitshow. Just try to scalp (usually disgruntled) the designers/engineers as needed they way they had a German who designed their old Marut or how USA had a Taiwanese as chief designer of the YF-23. Rafale is too expensive for what it is. If they are going to lose other potential buyers lile UAE then Dassault is going to have problems
>>65046306>RafailYou are a shitskin Paki lol. Imagine losing 2 AEWCs to s400

What is France's deal anyways?>No no zis fighter must be centibaguettes in length exactly it also has to have a plethora of features only our carriers and tech use and Germany will pay for it ouiThen they expect people to go along with that. I don't get it.

The recoil spring in my old pocket pistol had been busted, so I replaced it with a furniture spring. It's noticeably weaker and has less tension, but the pistol cycles dummy rounds so smoothly and easily, I almost can't believe it.I'm afraid of testing with live rounds and risk causing a damage.How low quality can you go with recoil springs? Is there a way to tell beforehand if a recoil spring is going to be able to handle the blowback?
Any military vets here? I just discharged last year after 8 years in the US Army. I spent 3 years in infantry (11B) stationed in a really rainy German town and got deployed to a country full of commieblocks before I applied for the Special Forces and managed not to washout of SFAS and after 2 and a half years or so I spent the rest of my time in Army as an 18B in SF. Since I did the full 8 years active I'm not IRR and pretty much a full on civilian now. I have no idea what I want to do. Since getting out, a case worker at my local GI forum got me this job doing basic maintenance on folding machines for a laundry business, and honestly it kinda sucked, so I got a different job now working in a really cold warehouse for an online grocery store. I have little to no prior work experience outside of the military. From my service I do have experience in some building/construction, mainly basic shit like excavation and laying concrete and I've installed basic electrical wiring but I don't have any certifications in that type of stuff. I'm also bilingual, fluent in spanish and ayacucho quechua (lol) but even with all that my case worker can't get me a job that pays more than $16 an hour like shit man come on. I'm having to live back at home with my dad and my mentally ill sister. I was going to take advantage of the GI bill and go to school but I have no fucking idea what I want to study as a career. I don't want to get a bullshit degree and reenlist and go the officer route (there's a lot of bs involved) and tbqh I don't feel like going back to the military in any degree. I have no interests other than my hobbies and no aspirations of what I want to do. I tried looking into PMCs/PSCs and I found this website called Silent Professionals which seems kinda fishy desu. Idk man. Anybody in a similar position?

Don't give up. You've overcome so many challenges, you won't fail at this one. Alot of Veterans I know have turned fitness coaches or coaches for Military Fitness, preparing people for SF or SOF selection. If you maybe get a degree or certificate in sports, this could be something worth looking into. I am a western European however so I don't know how easy this is for americans.
