We can go invisible at a moment's notice, not even thermals can detect our cloaks, we have the best marksmen in the world, who can sweep a Tec-9 in the general direction of a crowd of soldiers and get perfect headshots on every single one of them, not one round wasted, in full auto.Our brains think much faster than goyim brains, we process information faster than the world's most powerful AI powered super computer, we can see supersonic bullets leave our enemy's guns and travel towards us in full detail like an infant crawling towards it's mother, we subsequently dodge those bullet.We can move as fast as the flash on steroids even when we're blackout drunk, the world's most highly trained MMA fighter looks like a paraplegic compared to our close combat specialists, we can tear commercial automobiles to shreds with our bare hands and it doesn't even hurt.When someone disrespects Mossad, when someone disrespects Israel, we bend time and space to ensure that they live their entire lives and their children also live their entire lives in pure agony from beginning to end.We are God's chosen and you will respect us or suffer in ways you never thought possible.

What are the strategic benefits of blocking your own fleet of warship's access to the sea?
>>64648051>Too easy to blast holes in them.Is that what the Ukrainians did? Or were the nets just not in place at the time the sub drone slipped into the harbor? Anti-submarine nets are a technology that's been around since at least WWI.
>>64648275Thanks for reminding me of Berdyansk supply landing.
>>64648392I will never not be disappointed that the other ships didn't go up, too.
>>64648384>expecting WW1 tech from RussiaIt isn't like they had been planning out this place as a major naval base, shipyard and their main civil harbor for decades and even if they did so what? You can't just place a major port in a confined naval environment and expect to have a perfect defense against infiltrators. You'd need a gigantic 8km wall with flak towers, locks, underwater sally ports for subs and dozens of machine gun bunkers lining the base, that would be impossilbu.......Oh wait, Russians are just fucking lazy.
>>64648339>Those whose ships can float above the barges will stay with the fleet and most likely be moved further south>Those whose ships can't float above the barges will be dissolved into skeleton crews needed for maintenance reasons>Those whose ships can't fling missiles at Ukraine will be shipped to Ukraine and thrown into the grinderScreenshot this post and laugh in the coming months

When we're a manufacturing powerhouse again and you can grab usa made titanium handle knives off the shelf at Walmart for $30, historians will look back on the today era of usa knives as an oddity and how we would pay upwards of $400 for fucking usa made aircraft aluminum handle knives with 90's era super steel.The greatest depression era of knives (circa 2008 - ???)I hope it adds great collector's value to my knives when that day comes.
If you were tasked with designing a military transport plane, how would you prevent this from happening?
>>64647486NTA but everything does, if it's not being built then it's degrading. Same is true of your car, your house, your body. Difference with planes is that there's incredibly strict standards for monitoring these things and either repairing them or pulling them from service when they risk reaching unacceptable levels. And 'unacceptable levels' have very, very generous safety margins built in. Early aviation had issues with this. Australia started the first serious standards for fatigue inspection back in the 40's after (from memory) the first crash ever conclusively connected to it, and when the Comet first started living up to its name, the discovery of why it was happening led to not just every early model being pulled from service immediately but the entire book on commercial aviation design and maintenance being rewritten.And if that still sounds scary, don't look up what a minimum equipment list is.
>>64646020In decadent wect, plane waste many litre of good drinking fuel to desant to ground. Proud soviet plane not insult worker by waste of product of their labor, go straight to ground as efficient as possible!
>>64647289>>64647326did I miss something happening to another russian sub?
>>64648173>>64639816
>>64648017I've been watching videos on aircraft incidents lately, things get wild. After an equipment failure, and a miscommunication, one crew believed that management bypassed the freaking fuel gauge minimum equipment requirement. Factor in some silliness related to early switches to Metric done by the guys fueling the plane and you can guess what happened next.
They are doing the "slow column advance on an open road" meme again.
>>64648427Its definitely some fsb psychological operation. Its well documented by observers on the ground and data directly from hospitals, that there never was any targeting of civilians of scale, by any side, before the '22 invasion. For some reason tankies really bought the lie hard.
>>64646245Its literally just cope>we never needed those fathers, brothers and husbands anyway!
>>64646596Apparently (I dont speak Russian) he claimed in that speech that Europes goal, its reason for starting this war with Russia, was to steal Russias natural resources for itselfI thought that shit was a meme we made up here, I had no idea actual Russians were actually saying it lmao
>>64648453>some fsb psychological operationAt this point I'm almost convinced Putin trained them wrong as a particularly spiteful joke
>>64646797I hope they got out and lived long enough to die in one of the Lada assaultsthe russians that died early in the war got off too easy
Are there any reliable accounts of falling debris/detritus killing civilians? All those 8th Airforce droptanks ditched over Germany, for instance, had to kill a few civvies.
>>64642606>We also don't see the massive swarms of planes we did during WW2

Continuation of the last threadA united European military would have:>3.1 million personnel>8,700 tanks>7,700 aircraft>2,250 shipsIt's safe to say they'd be the new military superpower, but whose equipment would be dominant? Would different country's divisions use different rifles and just have interchangeable ammo?
>>64648421>they leech of wellfareEveryone who uses welfare 'leeches' off of it, that's how welfare works.>they commit all kinds of crimesAnd yet Europe continues to be the safest region in the world by far.>they openly hate western societyCoincidentally, so do the right-wing Russian puppets that call for them to be removed who hate the liberal values of western society and want to be an authoritarian shithole state like Russia
>>64648436I give up, you got a good ammount of replies out of me, I highly doubt you live in europe and If you really do then you must be either insanely sheltered or straight up autistic to not see the problem.
>>64648446You're falling for Russian ragebait news cycle. Statistically Europe is doing very great, look at the actual crime rates and there is no 'crime wave', the economy's doing well, QoL is rising, and if you just turn off the news and walk around there's nothing much different about the country.
>>64648457You have not lived around them, I do.

How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>64642901The Aztecs and other Mesoamericans conducted enough cannibalistic raids into what's now the Southwest US that there is plentiful archeological evidence.>raid village>set up pot>eat a couple captives>the rest of the villagers watch from the hills
>>64647358>>64647867mesoanon, this guy's question is my question too. An obsidian bladed club has amazing cutting power though it degrades with use. If a 10 year old hit me with this it would make my arteries spray out blood like a Kurosawa film. But if you're trying to take captives alive in a flower war what do you actually use?
>>64647358Why are you latinxes so violent and smelly. Your farts are like a portable nuclear holocaust.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNV0Hp5vkdM
>>64641826>>64641831Did "the guy" talk about how that couldn't be possible as there were no horses in mesoamerica at the time... I can understand though, for slaughtering animals
>>64648092I'm not him, but throughout history the best way to get captives is to first beat the enemy. So driving an obsidian flake into someone's throat does help you get captives if it induces his friends to break their formation and/or rout. Much easier to capture the enemy when they're alone or running rather than when they're actively trying cut your chest open with their own macuahuitl as part of an army.

/arg/ denizens...About 5 years ago, I bought some stuff from a place online called ARJunkies. They appear to have been completely baleeted from the internet. Do any of you know what happened to them?
The 6th one. Talk about Russian submarines, the nuclear military, all that shit. Someone probably has a link to the first 5.
>>64646089Mayak was 4000 deaths from radiation sickness by 1986. That's the Soviet number. Not including regular construction deaths or mining deaths or the deaths at Tomsk-7 and Zheleznogorsk or the nuclear navy or of course Chernobyl. Mining deaths were probably the big one.
Gonna go hunt down the sources for Medvedev's work, specifically the section I posted
Not sure if its already been mentioned, but are there any good books on Soviet shittery when it comes to nuclear stuff? I have Groves' book on the Manhatten Project and kinda looking for something similar on what went down on the other side of the curtain
Here's the full source list Medvedev provided. I'm gonna go track some of this down. Even fucking Wikipedia accused him of exaggerating the Kyshtym Disaster.(which is one of the few Mayak disasters well known in the west even if English sourcing is lacking detail). I believe Medvedev. He's a good bloke who was trying to blow the whistle on frankly some of the most horrific industrial tragedy I've heard of outside of Bhopal. The things that happened in the Urals must not be forgotten
>>64648444Anyone have a good tool to translate large PDF files?
Besides WWII, what was the most epic and crazy war of all time?
>>64648221Statius may have made it up, or may have simply decided to use the version of the story in which Achilles was dipped into the cauldron while being held by his heels. There are several surviving versions of the story of Achilles' childhood with various explanations of his invulnerability (or lack thereof). Is some stories he is dipped, in others he is set on fire, in others he is spared all these by his father who realized his mother was crazy and would kill him trying to see if he was immortal/invulnerable. The story of Paris shooting Achilles in the heel/back of the calf is attested in black figure decorations of various clay vessels dating back to at least 5th century BC. Statius would have been aware of various versions of the Achilles myth, and likely picked or altered one that best suited his narrative. It is an overstatement to say that he made it up, considering that about 85-90 percent of all Classical literature is thought to now be lost, based on intertextual references and fragmentary remnants. Statius might have just pulled the whole thing out of his ass, but that would be very unlikely, since at the time he was writing in the late first century AD, it was very in vogue to include artistic and literary references to existing myths, highly regarded poets/writers of previous eras, and even popular contemporary authors that an erudite audience would notice and appreciate. A completely novel version of a hero's origin would not have been very well received by Roman audiences of that era.
>>64647292>>64648030If you faggots actually read anything on the Spanih conquests of the Americas, you'd quickly learn that they more often than not fought close quarters, and the Aztec/Incan/Whoever weapons were quite dangerous. The Spanish foot soldiers weren't armored like knights, and were, instead, quite skillful. The Aztecs and others learned quickly that to avoid gunfire, they had to close the distance, so even in the rare circumstances were the Spanish gunners ran out of ammo, each and every fight was finished "at the hilt" or "came down to the sword". They were braver men than you or I
>>64648366Yeah no shit they weren't armored like medieval knights you dumb fuck. No one thinks that. Conquistador foot soldiers wore steel cuirasses, steel helmets, and large round shields that were the source of their being called rodoleros after these shields. They also carried steel side swords, which were a predecessor of the rapier, but with a wider blade suitable for slashing as well as thrusting. About 75% of Hernan Cortez's troops were so equipped, the remainder being arquebusiers and halberdiers/pikemen. Like I said in my previous post, heavily armed and armored men with metal equipment (bronze or steel, makes little difference) wipe the floor when they fight Neolithic tribal warriors armed with stone clubs and wearing feathers for armor. It happened to the South American savages when the Spanish showed up, it happened to the Trojans when the Myceneans pushed their shit in.

>>64647032My personal favourite is the Taiping Rebellion. Crazy chinaman declares himself the brother of Jesus Christ and more people die than WWI.
I know it's a generic choice, but I've always thought Operation Spring Awakening produced some really good photos.
Taffy 3 at the battle of Samar. Since they actually won it.
>>64647437I consider Stalingrad to be one of the most consequential "last stands" in modern history. If the city fell then Baku oil flows freely to feed the German war machine and Moscow is besieged in a couple months (weeks?)
FictionalHemmingways machine gun at the bridge For Whom the Bell Tolls was always an inspiration to me but people are not so brace in reality when it comes down to it. "Robert Jordan saw them there on the slope, close to him now, and below he saw the road and the bridge and the long lines of vehicles below it. He was completely integrated now and he took a good long look at everything. Then he looked up at the sky. There were big white clouds in it. He touched the palm of his hand against the pine needles where he lay and he touched the bark of the pine trunk that he lay behind. Then he rested easily as he could with his two elbows in the pine needles and the muzzle of the submachine gun resting against the trunk of the pine tree. As the officer came trotting now on the trail of the horses of the band he would pass twenty yards below where Robert Jordan lay. At that distance there would be no problem. The officer was Lieutenant Berrendo. He had come up from La Granja when they had been ordered up after the first report of the attack on the lower post. They had ridden hard and had then had to swing back, because the bridge had been blown, to Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>There' no practical ways to defend yourself against knives
>>64645953Yes I have some money I don't need one day I will take my own advice and get a 7.5" barr'l and experiment. That long successfuleffort to get 5" barr'l .45acp power out of 3" 1860 is a point of extreme pride to me - but it was so difficult it made me a little manic. I already have a cylinder modded for a piezo transducer. In a more relaxed way I think it might be fun to see what a 180 grainer with 150MPa behind it the entire trip down a long barrel (via triplex load) might give for numbers = stupid bragging rights. JFTFOI.
