Turkish-made Aselflir EO for drones picks up car sized targets from 150 km range and aircraft sized targets from 200 km range

The only time they showed the 150km distance was once. And you could only see some buildings at max zoom…

Actual identification of surface targets is ~30km max with that sensor unless it is a large target (ie. ships or planes).

America: Highly globalist and xenophilic, they don't give a shit where they get something they just want it to be cheap

Which never happened, your ilk then ALWAYS extrapolate from this delusion that the US will lose future wars because they left afghanistan.

Different mindsets. The aztecs were a murderhappy deathcult that terrorized it's neighbours for sport and slaves. Warfare was just the political tool to get free shit and clown on others. Europeans meanwhile came from a continent with a long history of adpating to fucking weirdos trying to take their shit for free.
So you had a ragtag group of insanos showing up, talking about redemption and some guy nailed to a stick who died for your sins and they didn't murder people every year due to whacky divine reasons. They also had cool swords and giant animals that scared everyone.
On top of it, Lady Luck gave Cortez all the stuff he needed to succeed.
>>
>>64634359
That was Malinche. Having survived smallpox (she was imprisoned with a ship wreaked Spaniard which is how she knew Spanish) she learned about it, how it worked and it's effects. She had a slave who was infected serve a diplomatic mission of a few dozen nobles, rightly assuming that they would be fascinated by his appearance and not notice how sick he was.

Also if you read Diaz carefully the entire time the Aztecs though she was in charge and Cortez was her servant. He was, he just didn't realize it nor did Diaz..

Mayas were stone age manlets with low IQ. They had shitty clubs made of light jungle wood and rocks that fell apart after the first hit. Also the lack of actual martial arts training was showing. The Mayans were violent savages who killed each other all the time, but it's just basic monkey shit. The Spaniards in the other hand had proper swordsmanship training.
>>
>>64637497
I thought Malinche was just a nickname for Cortez when I first read it, mostly because of everything she was doing, until I realised about halfway through that it was the translator. Crazy stuff.
>>
>>64637531
Malinche, also know as Marina, accompanied Cortez everywhere. She was very witty for a woman, she gathered intel and helped with diplomacy all the time. In the paintings she's shown wearing armor too.

Because additionally money doesn't magically fix things. Without it resulting in more shit being made it will just fuel inflation.

The Feds are the ones more likely to get mired in trouble over there. They're the ones commonly overstepping and overstretching themselves, be it internationally or domestically. They've done it before, during the fucking Coal Wars, for instance.

Whats everyones experience with buying guns, ammo, other sporting goods, hunting gear, reloading equipment.

How do they compare to Cabelas, BassPro, and Sportsmans Warehouse. And Gander Mountain?

I do love their price match, was able to get them to price match with gunmagwarehouse on gen 3 pmags.

This is what I dont get how come both the HK SP-5 and SP-5K are the same price?
>>
>>64637044
Because the MSRP is the same. The work I do now involves setting MSRP and MAP for products so if they're like any mfgr I've ever worked for, MAP is dictated as a percentage off MSRP within line. If MSRP is the same, MAP will be the same and thus they'll cost the same in stores. If you're asking why MSRP is the same, there are dozens of factors that play into that, not least of which is just "cause the people who decide feel like it."

Generally better shopping experience, selection and pricing than most corporate chain stores. Their used guns aren't priced at crackhead prices either, with some occasional genuinely good deals to be had. On the whole I prefer an LGS, but if I had to buy something at a chain store I'd take Scheels over SW/CAB/BP by miles. I haven't been in a GM yet so no comment on that.
>>
Better customer service though more modern selection as far as guns go. You'll fine treasure more at Cabela's and bass pro, but enjoy a mandatory several hour long wait for them to actually sell you the gun. Scheels is probably the best out of the bunch

Fuck no, you've convinced me not to do that.

I last watched him back in late '22 I think, maybe early '23. Maybe he's gotten more doomer since then but he was repeating hopium when I watched him, about how the Russian front would collapse any minute now.
Maybe the failed counter-offensive broke him.

Nothing to do with the recruitment pool. There are only so few hours in a day, therefore only so few logbook, class room and practical hours. This is how you fuck up your surface warfare branch. This is how you get class A mishaps like the collisions mentioned in the thread. Overstuffing their bandwidth.

>>64637471
first of all it has everything to do with education and IQ of recruits, since an educated person needs less handholding and introductory courses and a high IQ person can learn more, faster, so suddenly you have more time available for activities
second, the cognitive load of driving a boat is too much only for niggers, women and certain math/theoretical physics postdocs

Replicas have been made and tested, and the results are that it kills real good actually but is also very brittle (as the cutting edge is literally made of glass). It is significantly sharper than any steel sword you can create due to the properties of volcanic glass.
