60km long fiber optics spools for FPV drones being built right now. Does this mean that FPV drones literally outrange all ATGMs and most artillery that are in service right now?
All that fiber that could help ziggers in Bumpkinnowheroshvok get better than 6Mbps internet... All wasted... So, what stonks do I buy, looks like fiber will be in high demand for the next few wars.
>>64663536>Excellent material for nestsWe don't know that yet. It's going to be a few years before we have the data to say how it affects the chicks.All we know now is that it is>material for nests
>>64663583>how the fuck do you even go about doing it?Harvest bird nests and hope that the birds grow up ok in it.
>>64663614>I assumed that this was left behind from the drone because of the weight but the drone carries the wire with it, but man that means the drone is going to have to be hugeOne thing, these drones are a bit bigger and two, the weight reduces as the fibre is unspooled.The drone becomes increasingly energy efficient as the fibre is unspooled so the range is a little better than if you did a naive weight:battery flight time estimate.
>>64665106>They can hit your SAMs and other expensive assets completely out of blue in the rear.You still need actual observation on those targets first to know where to fly the drone. That's why you see them used against targets of opportunity more often than not.
What the fuck is going on, they filmed everything, one SU-27 and one SU-30, 100 million in damages, did russia lost that many soldiers that they can't even muster a few guys to secure their air bases? Anyway, what's going on these past few days, they're getting a lot of shit destroyed, mig 31, S-400, bunch of fighters and even a fucking submarine
>>64664854>. Smuggling explosives carries a big risk of getting caughtLol. Lmao, even.Rapid explosives residue testing is unknown technology, and bomb dogs do exist but are few and far between. Why would FSB-adjunct border facility go for an expensive bomb-dog when they could go for a manly attack-dog instead AND pocket the difference?Then if you're actually caught you can always bribe your way out. Yes, HE bribes will be more expensive, but even small/broke state actors would be able to marshal enough cash money to bribe any Russian borderxir..t kum used to smuggle onions meat-substitutes into country while smuggling dairy products out. He was a credit to economy.
>>64664854Smuggling anything in Russia is as easy as how much money you have to bribe with
>>646663711. obviously whoever did the sabotage weren't pilots2. why would you even send a pilot on such a risky operation3. Russian AA will kill Russian aircraft even if they don't suspect it's being piloted by Ukies
>>64664854Thermite is easy to make and would have done better damage.
>>64664830A small gasoline fire is not going to get hot enough to melt that intake. Are there images of the actual damage? It shows them in the cockpit but they burned the outside instead of dumping the gas into the cockpit?
If you can't carry hollow points, does 45 make sense or it's an obsolete bulky shit regardless?
>>64664494>a complete memeNot completely but the hyper-focus by CC'ers on "w-what ammo should i buy" and expansion characteristics of different pistol pills is misplaced. Shot placement, is what it is all about in the end. Oh, and 230 grain FMJ

>>64665149I literally only fear God Almighty, Chum.But cops and legalities are a fixed unmoving Intelligence Test and are worth the zero-dollar effort of thinking up a way to nullify them.Professional Workman = "I run this hazard every day = I must nullify it before it statistically inevitably catches up with me."Different never-seen-before-probably-never-to-be-seen-again hazard" = "Dangerous and super-sketch but I can get away with this once"Such are legalities.

This is the new Bundeswehr service pistol, say something (nice) about it.
>>64658970>their cheap guns suck (see the UMP)UMP was fairly successful all things considered. No, it never fully replaced the MP5 and isn't as nice to shoot, but it has some advantages over it and had a decent amount of adoption.
>>64659081Better to overpay on service rifles rather than pistols most soldiers will never need
>>64660657literally thisI fell for some big names in handguns, too.But always when I shoot a Walther I have i instantly better results than with the way more expensive guns I train with.Next one I get gonna be a carry PDP
>>64666492I have only shot a P99 but that was one of the comfiest guns I have ever used.Can't say anything about its reliability though of course.
>>64658802The only tolerance that really matters is the lockup between the barrel and the slide, which the sights are mounted on. And even that lockup doesn't need to be perfectly consistent, striker-fired polymer frame pistols have mechanical accuracies of 8-12 MOA. Let me guess, you NEED more?
Why do modern soldiers get PTSDs from killing sandcoons using drones from 40303 miles away safe and with air conditioning when soldiers 2000 years ago rejoicide at the chance of slaughtering the local populance with impunity?
>>64666284Most PTSD is bullshit these days because1) Pussies tried to normalize it for their own political reasons and "destigmatize" it. Thus claiming PTSD isn't discouraged systematically within the military as it once was. There is no pathology by which PTSD can be identified which cannot be faked or is their some high standard imposed upon the claimants.2) Due to the government doing nothing worthy of loyalty it receives none in turn. Combine that with darkies and women using it is a gibs program and white men who do all the fighting have no reason not to claim everything they can to squeeze as much money out of the system as possible. And if you are getting money for it you can just tell your buddies you are lying and they will also laugh at the government for giving you money. There is no social pressure not to lie.3) Its not even Post Traumatic, its just stress which causes problems. If you are constantly on edge while waiting for action it does fuck with your brain chemistry which causes lethargy when you aren't under stress anymore. Hence why the phenomena became more apparent after WW1.4) Actual brain injuries can cause similar symptoms as those attributed to PTSD, and on the modern battlefield repeated brain injury is more likely even just from riding around.
>>64666284You're conflating PTSD with moral injury. You get PTSD from illegally invading a country on behalf of Israel and the banks and watching your friends die in front of you, but you get a moral injury from invading that country and killing children.
>>64666284>Why do modern soldiers get PTSDsThey don't. 95%+ of combat veterans don't suffer from PTSD. It's just a media meme propagated through movies and the like.
>>64666284People obviously had PTSD back then but life was hard. They were preoccupied living in the moment.A similar phenomenon on why a lot of complete shit hole countries rank happier populations than some first world.
>>64666284Becauase 90% of soldiers should never be soldiers. It has always been this way.
And snipers don't?
>>64662408There's actually a number of air rifles rated for large game.
>>64665617Yeah it the whole paper, still tiny.Also people like to shit One 10 meter air guns but there are loads of others olympic shooting. There are 10/25/50 meter pistol, sket and trap shooting, 3 position rifles.They have been talking About adding IPSC to the olympics for decades now but they same safety concern stuff is always brought up>I wonder how accurate pistols could get with bracesIdk what is the MOA of a 4.5cal airgun?There is a competition shooting that can answer that its called Bench rest .>>64665685Not quite, it does not give that big of and advantage because at there Core there still is Shooter skills. Where as in F1 the cars have to be leveled or the best far wins more Often.As that turkish guy proved you dont really need the gimick they just Help. Go to the range and shoot One handed with both eyes Open ,then try only one eye, then both eyes with the other covered. Do you need it to do well? No but it helps. Same with the ear plugs, helps you focus but it doesnt actualy Change anything.As you Said the diferentes between top and mid table as less then a milimeter
>>64665392Were you even a legal adult for Trump Term 1, zoomie? Hell, do you even remember the obama era anti-gun pushes?

>>64665390The 23 mm guns themselves remain a major weakness but unfucking the radar definitely addresses a lot of the problems

/k/'s beloved actor James Ransone, known for his interpretation of Cpl. Josh Ray Person in board's favorite series Generation Kill, dies by suicide at age 46
FWhy couldn't he have been more like Trombley?
>>64664594Depression makes you more selfish
>>64663192Doubt it was suicide
>>64665952I mean here's the thing, the content is fine, I enjoy a good whatever movie as much as the next person, but actors are insufferable freaks who are mentally ill enough to pretend in front of audiences for purposes of extreme narcissism and vanity. Actor dies? Whatever, replace him, stop bawling your eyes out like a fucking child because someone you don't know in a business you'll never touch an hero'd.

https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/germany-fcas-gcap-italy-invitation/how the tables have turned
>>64665976true, but that takes time Germany doesn't really have either and we need a strong air force not too far in the future too. that's why I brought up the F-2. GCAP already is pretty much what the German air force wants, so paying royalties in exchange for getting the design and playing with it to your national needs would probably mean way less required time than a clean sheet design yet still German industry could get the work it needs, Airbus the airframe, MTU the engine, Hensoldt the sensors.But just to be clear, this is all me making shit up and imagining things, I have no idea if or how seriously anything of this is even being considered by any side that would be involved.
>>64665976Germany can't afford to do a cleansheet design without paying out the ass to license tech from GCAP/US/France (if they'd even allow it) or spending 10-20 years developing the needed tech domestically.If they want a manned fighter by the mid to late 2030s they really can't start a clean sheet German design and expect to make that deadline.
>>64665999>>64666003I agree that GCAP is basically identical to Germany's needs. They can't use Safran's engine if they are doing their own designs, it's going to be too small. I can see them either licencing the GCAP engine or working with RR to develop their own and include MTU in the process. The combat cloud and CCU would be flexible, they could partner with France/UK/US. I do want to see Germany work more with the British, it's a shame this didn't happen earlier so they could truly join GCAP. Either way it'll be interesting to see what Germany does.
It's there room for Spain in GCAP as anything besides a customer, I know Indra and Airbus (Spain) have some specific knowhow/expertise in low obsevability and radars, as well as broader integration expertise that could be applied to GCAP.

Why did america only destroy iran's nuclear facilities while they cant do shit to north korea?
>>64664352The Mujahideen was conglomeration of movements (many with otherwise differing views and goals), you retard, he was not the king of them all.
>>64661517>Can't do shit to North KoreaIs this true, though?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanggang_explosionIt's definitely not a "criticality accident" like They® claim it was because no airborne radionuclides, and the mushroom cloud was reported by Chinese media, so it definitely happened.
>>64661517Best korea is a chinese puppet state, attacking them would almost gurantee a direct war with the chinks, which america would win, but it would be costly as fuck. On the contrary gayran doesn't have any friends other than puccian "promises", nobody would come to their help.
>>64666457>Best korea is a chinese puppet stateHave been in a coma the last three decades?
>>64664255Yeah, arabs are retarded like that, especially the balestinians.
The general for discussing homemade and amateur firearmsLast thread: >>/64549287/I often see homemade firearms being constructed very crudely out of things like pipes, sheet metal, dremeled slabs of mystery meat steel, and all other sorts of things, but why is it that I don't often see homemade guns made by people who know what they're doing?A significant amount of homemade firearms I see are done as a hobby, and making a firearm takes someone who knows how to work with metal, but you dont often see them actually milling guns with a machine, pic rel.Or maybe those types of guns tend to be so well made that they arent usually distinguished as homemade?
>>64659909These Indonesian .223 revolver
>>64664127That rules.
>>64664127I really wonder if these work because taurus once tried to make revolvers chambered in .223 but just like all other bottleneck cartridges it doesnt work that well in revolvers...The cartridge push back and expand, due to the expanded bottleneck it won't move forward again make it unable to rotate the cylinder...That's why we only really have cylindrical cartridges in revolvers
>>64664871They seem pretty common over there, so they probably figured a solution out. I had a similar issue designing a revolver where the primer would bulge .5mm just from my loose tolerances. The trick I came up with was to leave the breech face raised but cut a shallow circular channel to let the fractionally enlarged casing to still rotate.
>>64664871I know they make the bfr in .30-30And they had historically bottle necked cartridges like 44-40 and 38-40
How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>64663511appreciate it, thanks
>>64665061>>64663511worth noting some of the stuff there is outdated, EX: plus ultra legado came out, and I forgot to update the text
What if the Aztecs won?
Logistics guy here. These things are brilliant from a logistics standpoint. The clubs themselves are made of a really sturdy hardwood and can potentially last for years of repeated use if cared for. The obsidian teeth would be child's play to set up production for.Have one or two guys lugging baskets of teeth and you're golden.
>>64634465>extremely painfulFor (You).
Which caliber is better? Does the shorter length of the .308 while being mostly the same ballisticly make it better, or does the slightly longer length and ability to use heavier grain bullets of the 30-06 make it better?Or is 30-06 better because it sounds cooler and is an American classic?
>>64665495>numbnutsDo people still say this
>>64665576Fair enough>>64665596All the time
>>6466463030-06 better for 180 and heavier bullets. More case capacity. 308 only matched 30-06 at 150 grain and modern powders help it keep up with slightly heavier. I shoot both
>>64665966You did the little blighter dirty nabbing him in the middle of lunch
>>64665466Basically this. >>64665474I have found Moose to be kinda wimpy compared to Elk unless its a bull in the rut. .30 cal just kills different than 7, 6.8, 6.5 >go white tail hunting with father in law>he has newfangled springfield waypoint in 6.5creed rifle using 129 grain Hornady SST, I brought my trusty 2003 Sako 75 in .308 using 165 grain Hornady SST>he shoots doe in the lungs, doe runs 40 yards. We come up on it 30 min later. it’s still breathing and looking at us. We dispatch it quickly.>when cleaning it the bullet did some damage and had decent expansion based on the exit wound being about thumb-sized, but heart and lungs mostly in tact.>Next evening at dusk, I get a doe, shot it in practically the same spot, a little high for the heart. DRT. When cleaning it when we get past the diaphragm the whole chest cavity is soup. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, .30 cal+ just kills different. .300wm drops elk and moose the way 7mm rem mag or 7mm prc just doesn’t.
- What was your key of sucess before joining Elite unit in respect to physical training and character development?- What did you do when there was toxic leadership, colleagues and groupings within the unit?- How did you handle favoritism in group evaluations in selection?- Which are the most important attributes to develop for someone who wants to join an Elite Unit?
>>64661280You're a fool only if you don't go back. If you've truly done the self reflection from the first failure, youll make it no problem. I had a hard time with peers being a senior NCO, i didnt vibe well with the IBOLC officers. I ended up peering super high by the time i got to Florida, learned how to play nicer with others. I did a BRC recycle in mountains for spots of all fucking things. That was painful. You'll hate yourself forever if you get out without getting your Tab.>>64661244Unrealistic is very different from unreasonable. Unrealistic is waking up and wanting to be an Olympic runner without the genetic predisposition. Unreasonable is doing what gen-pop wouldn't want to do. Emphasis on the want. I didn't want to work out today, but I got out of bed and ran 6 miles. I love a big slutty American breakfast, but I very rarely eat anything for breakfast other than Greek yogurt or overnight oats.I have hard shit I want to do in the near future, so I ignored the voice inside of me that said to rest. If you do this consistently, its not a big ask of yourself. Discipline turns into easy habits.Furthermore, if the people around you think that doing shit like ranger school, or just joining the military in the first place, is unrealistic, then you need to associate with different people.
>>64663237The truth is I still think about ranger school weekly because it was multiple years of my life preparing and recycling so many times. But I ETS already a year ago.I do plan on getting in the guard infantry during college, so there is a chance I suppose.
>>64663295I hate that for you. You let yourself down and your leaders let you down. If I had a young stud who made it to Darby, then came back to station- it would've been my life's mission to get him back there to finish. I hope you actually find yourself back there, they allow nicotine now!
>>64663370Sounds like a s-tier leader. A lot of leaders where I am at prioritise their carrier.
>>64661375I personally didn't ruck at all or really even train up. IMO its completely doable if you're already training like you should while in the infantry i.e. parallel mid distance running program and a lifting/occasional crossshitter workout. Good luck, just be a good dude and you'll be fine.
