Maybe CHINA feels better for them to bring fight closer to home where their large number of less gold plated forces can travel shorter distance to battlefield, plus unlimited basing from mainland.Sorta like how USSR started beating Nazis once the supply lines and partisan situation changed.Ever think of that, numb-nutz?I mention 'partisan' because regardless of what the official position of local Govt, and how bought off by US Govt the stooge is, there are Chinese deeply embedded all over those islands, especially in professional positions like doctors, dentists, electricians, mechanics, you name it, so it would be major burden to Intern them or WTF.PLAN doing battle with USN off CA coast? Problematic for PLAN. PLAN and airforce, advanced land based drones, etc, in a "hairball" in the Island Chains landing hits, and taking hits, but landing hits on the limited number of gold plated USN ships? Much more possible.
>>64631998>Implying it would reach the strait before it gets intercepted in the Indian Ocean by drones.we can do this all day gutter oil
>>64632004>oil can only come from the Indian oceanror
and if the USN gets slaughtered/skullfucked in the SCS, what makes you think they will fare better in the Indian ocean esp near SEA? Like do you even look at a map?kek
>>64632018Bitch where else is it supposed to transit from to get to Chinese ports? Space?

A geran drone flew around the port of Odessa, then struck a ship.https://files.catbox.moe/jqgjqq.mp4 (strike at 0:38)The ship is claimed to be a Turkish cargo ship.
>>64631876Isn't the EEZ still, for navigation purposes, international waters?
>>64631886Yes, but who cares? If ziggerstan is going to act like subhuman orcs they can be treated like them. Impounding the ships is already be being generous, we should just hit them with a quicksink the second they dare to leave Russian waters.
>>64631928why do you post stuff like this every day all day
>>64631948I don't, it may surprise you to hear this but the opinion that Russia is a subhuman stain on the earth is not an uncommon one.For reference, the last time I made a post on /k/ was here >>64629794.
I don't want to make a thread and risk a ban. Ukraine recently claimed they've achieved full-rate production of the Hrim-2 ballistic missile. If true, what could they actually hit and destroy with these things that they couldn't already?
Honest thoughts on the Rafale?
>>64630972It's literally their only point of military pride worth mentioning. Everything else has been retired or is trash meant to bully niggers. Charles De Gaulle by contrast is absolutely brag-worthy since it's the only real CV on the seas that isn't American

>>64631912I've been fleshing out a faction of war-traumatized and autarkic Space Mormons for a pulpy story. Overmatched by massive neighbors, relying on terrain and alliance. Often I've considered North Korea to be an obvious touchstone.Holy Mother of HELL does reading this thread get me supercharged.It's just unreal; the Norks are surreal.Norks are an Astounding Stories baddie. They're a tributary of Ming the Merciless.
>>64629075Forgot something: Specific awards get your survivors and 3 generations increased state benefits as well as permanent life advancement opportunities. These guys got their highest. Imagine if getting a Purple Heart got you, your parents, grandparents, children and grand children $20 a month for life and a Bronze Star got them $50. These guy just got a Medal of Honor which is a multigenerational gold card.Beyond anything else about their system there are very real economic incentives to being a good soldier. >>64631966I'm quite sure that Joseph Smith and Sung would have gotten along quite well. Here is something that most people don't know and should silence any accusations of me working for their government:>According to Kim, his family was always a step away from poverty. Kim said that he was raised by a very active Presbyterian Christian family. His maternal grandfather was a Protestant minister. His father had gone to a missionary school, and he was an elder in the Presbyterian Church.Sungs childhood literacy came from Proto-Nork Presbyterians.
Literal china simping thread made by the chinese lol.Anyway dying for your country is not worth and will never be, now i dare you jew, reward an incel with a virgin girl if he goes to war survives it, see your army tripling in size lol.I will be the first in line, no need to pay me any monthly income or any of that stuff.
>>64630887>They are starting to more or less force single women to find partners by threatening withholding benefits if they aren't married by a certain age.Why is the West copying China’s internet surveillance model instead of this?
>>64632000Good soldiering is really the best they can do, and from more read people I know, they know their shit in that field. Afaik their materiel situation isn't great, but they're pretty solid in terms of infantry tactics and well-trained junior officers to lead with a fatter reserve of them than most countries these days keep, so they can replace the experienced/trained leadership that dies or becomes invalid, something both Ukraine and Russia have been struggling with. Hence the Norks do decently in Ukraine, because they've focused on the thing that both belligerents aren't that good at due to their forces originating from the USSR and its rapid advance mobile/armoured thinking, meanwhile it's pretty much the backbone of the North Korean force iirc since they'd be mobilising millions of footmen in any prospective war against the south and could never really afford all the materiel that modern thinking requires anyways. Give them half decent equipment and they hold their own. Even if I'm totally wrong, it's better to overestimate because when push comes to shove, either you were right and did your homework or you steamroll them that much easier.

>>64631233AI has advanced quite a bit since thenFor example, properly trained image detection models now have uses in medicine, where they can interpret MRI scans better than most, if not all, human doctors. I don't doubt we could do real time human detection and targetingThe problem isn't necessarily whether we can do it, but whether it's feasible and practical to do so on a battlefield - it still requires enough computational power that you either need a small GPU farm, along with its own generator, in the back of your truck, or very fast and stable connection to send massive amounts of visual data to a remote computing center

>>64627902So are these ONLY 14.5 inches or is there like a 20 or even 22 inch version?
>>64628428yep, that's a known issue with SBRs, the blast will annoy everyone especially if it's in a indoor range. there's some muzzle boosters out there that exist also made by JMAC and their sole purpose is to create an echo chamber at the end of the muzzle so the blast and noise get amplified, the ones on that gun are not tho, they are suppressor compatible and are standard muzzle brakes
QTDDTOTHow much of a serious difference is there in between various brands of 5.56? Assuming same grain weight, bullet type, whatever. I'm trying to buy ammo in bulk and I'm struggling to figure out what brands to buy for both M193 and M855. Currently looking at Winchester for both just because it's cheap and there's a rebate for them. Both will just be for plinking and hoarding.
>>64631410creedmoor, prc, and .260 should immediately be off of the table if you don't handload.22-250 is a great round, but highly specialized for varmint hunting at range. Of the two left, .243 and .308 are both great short-action rounds, with .308 offering more versatility and ease of OTS purchase.Of the two you picked, .308 is the painfully obvious choice.
Is making an indigenous fighter jet engine really that hard? Why the fuck can't India do it at any level?
>>64596558>smellI avoid Fiocchi shotgun cartridges for this reason alone. Smells like animal piss when fired.
>>64631550The only countries which can make half-way decent fighter engines at the moment are the US, russia, and china.The UK, Germany and Japan could if they poured in enough money.Rolls Royce hasn't made a full engine themselves for a very long time, they partner with GE from the US, MTU from germany for full engines.Both Rolls and MTU could build an engine if they wanted on their own, since they have in-house expertise for most of it, but it would take significant time and investment to get there.IHI is obviously rushing a program and have build prototypes with on-par performance numbers, they could get to serial production faster than MTU for sure and probably also faster than rolls royce.Given that Safran hasn't build anything since the anaemic M88, they don't really have the experience required for an advanced engine, it would take them a long time to get there.

>>64626696Part of my own personal anger at it is that I think it's been genuinely discouraging to people trying to get into the hobby for the first time and that sucks. Guy I knew from school moved back to the area from a noguns suburb and we became neighbors, decent dude and he got into rifles, mentioned wanting to hunt, invited him hunting a few times but he politely said not yet, ask him next time. Didn't want to push but after a few years asked him what was up, wasn't offended or anything just curious if he was busy with settling in or whatever. And he was all embarrassed and said he didn't want to "hold me back", after a few years of practice>"I'm sorry anon I was doing 20 shot strings standing earlier today and I was only doing 2.3moa and the youtubers said I should be doing sub moa do I need to buy a carbon barrel?"DUDE. 20 shot standing and you're doing 2.3 that's GREAT, you don't need more on that front or any of that fucking bullshit they're getting paid to shill you, just to study a bit of basic deer anatomy and let's go I'll show you about scents and hides etc let's have a good time. And we did. I wish I'd asked him earlier, god damn there is "advice" all over the internet from people who have never even shot a fucking groundhog or rabbit let alone anything else saying people must have a $10k 33cal sub-moa superdildo-9000 with nods and lasers or they suck and some perfectly nice people don't know any better and think their efforts are no good.Sorry for the blogpost rant but reeeeee

>>64630392In our defense, as has often been the case with /k/ there seem to be plenty of reasonable adults itt too who can recognize that lead is just fundamentally really shitty stuff from a health pov both for humans and animals, while simultaneously it's got an mix of properties and economics that make it non-trivial to replace. Yeah of course there are folks (mix of retards, copium snorters and trolls) like you describe too, always have been and always will be, but they aren't the only ones which is always nice.
