Guedelon castle is nearly finished
>>64688978just in time to fight off the Saracens
>>64689060poppycock, my house isn't a castle and it still has walls.
>>64688978Good, now when do we lay siege to it?
>>64690254Just as soon as we build period-correct trebuchets with our bare hands and swipe some bubonic plague samples from an NIH BSL-4 lab. Anything less wouldn't be sporting.
Is there an escape tunnel?
You're on the toilet. You hear the sound of your door being kicked in.Tactically, what do you do in this situation? Animals are most vulnerable when they're using the bathroom, and that stays true for humans. I doubt you're carrying a gun with you to the bathroom either.
>>64690282>>Confirmed fatass. You have no usable muscle in any part of your body. It's all atrophied.Hey, 2026 is gonna be my year. I might be a fatass right now, but I’ve got goals.And if that doesn’t happen, anyway ozempic exists.Also I doubt being fat effects your piss stream distance. Whats next, it determines how far you shoot cum too?
>>64690319>admitted being a fatass>doesn't understand how to un-atrophy his muscles in any capacity (talks about ozempic and not exercise and discipline)>STILL doesn't understand atrophy>quoted the wrong postYou're a fat, stupid piece of shit. I would only pity you if there were something worth saving.
>>64690076>grab nearest serviceable "weapon">WAAAAAAAAGH!!!>run in such a manner that there is a thunderous sound and the floor shakes with each stepIf they don't make it in before I get to the door there's a good shot they'll fuck off. If they do they'll see a large yoked naked man charging them with something that isn't normally a weapon but absolutely is one today.If housing prices ever go down to the point I don't need a roommate I'll probably put one of those biometric/code lock pistol safes in there and stash a hi-point. OH NO! MY YEET CANNON RUSTED! Anyways...

What are the strategic implications of Russia deploying (literal) cavalry wave attacks against Ukrainian positions and drones in the last month of 2025? Has the eyebrow been raised?
>>64690247>šre-warpre*sausage fingers strike again
>>64689062>Advancing does not mean winning when those advances require hilariously unsustainable losses.ThisIt is all well and good to raise a flag on an additional village but if it's done at the cost of 20K KIA and WIA over a period of 2 years while not even crippling the enemy operational or strategical capabilities, it's just pissing away lives.Even the Red Army, which was rather confortable with pissing away lives, knew it was trading them for something.Russia here is just doing it to save face and try to push its luck in a diplomacy game that Ukraine can just postpone as long as the EU is showering it with money.
>>64690247>Turns out having the backing of the 2nd largest economyEuropoor here.We are either the 2nd or 3rd largest economy in the world, depending on how the RMB is trading.Not that it changes much : we are basically generating as much profit as China while having 1/3 of its population... and still have 3 times the population of Russia for a whomping 10 times its economy.Every time Russia is scraping 1 billion together, we can dump 10 billions if needed.Now, that might not be efficient spending but that's the kind of margin where, if the project is something you really really want to see happening, give you considerably more leeway than your rivals.Said project being TZD.

How does this change the global balance of power now that the US has closed the hypersonic missile gap?
>>64689092>>64689188i do not think it was trump decision. Despite what Trump may be wishing he doesn't have full power and support among republicans and military to completely screw over europe. Doesn't mean he isn't trying though
>>64689047>This is gonna be another case of the Mig 25 vs F15 debacle, isnt it?Nah. On the other hand, this is basically a dead ringer for the GLCM story.The short story is that the Russians had no countermeasures to deal with the Tomahawk when TELs first started being deployed to Europe, and Pershing IIs had a flight time of like four minutes from West Germany to Moscow. Regardless of the fact that this was in response to the USSR moving their missiles closer FIRST, this also meant that it would be possible for the US to launch a totally undetected first strike with Tomahawks and then follow up with Pershings more-or-less immediately after decapitating the entire Kremlin and destroying a ton of nuclear assets. Russia's response? Move to a launch-on-warning posture, ie. "no bro it's totally not a first strike doctrine".The Russians later agreed to come to the negotiating table for the INF after they had made the absolutely galaxy-brain decision to try to gather intel on whether or not NATO was planning a first strike during the annual(!) Able Archer wargames and almost faked themselves into starting a nuclear war. Fucking chimps.

Where can I buy replicas of bronze age armor /k/?: https://youtu.be/aM-TuFkUXEA?
>>64677027>every footman has charioteer armorstupid>>64677031that's what actual bronze age armor looked like retard.
>>64685980>he thinks noble soldiers actually walked to the battlethey had chariots, retard. the illiad is full of references to dudes using chariots. they didn't ride horses because horses hadn't yet been bred to be big and strong enough. the first cavalry in the region only showed up like 500 years after this.having cavalry in a trojan war setting is like having a challenger II show up at the battle of agincourt
>>64687177>Even lowly soldiers in Homer's epic had metal armor and fine weapons.everyone mentioned by name in the illiad was some noble guy with probably dozens of retainers
>>64687177>why not this 2008 Toyota Camry huhI mean, yeah, why not?
>>64690044>they didn't ride horses because horses hadn't yet been bred to be big and strong enoughEuropeans with skeletal deformities associated with frequent horseriding have been found as early as 3000 BC. That's before the chariot in Europe. Before the spoked wheel at all.Also here's a Hittite carving a cavalryman that predates the trojan war lmao get fukt
presented without commentary
>>64684831Yep. Drones and thermals used to cost literal tens to hundreds of thousands dorrars. Now they cost pittance and with vastly improved capabilities. I call all the drone deniers here as "Horse Cavalry Majors" for their obstinance.
>>64683848Multicam tropic is clearly the best here, closely followed by a-tacs ix
>>64684747Yes, since many drones in UA still have no thermal imaging and low resolution (or effective resolution due to transmission issues) cameras to keep costs down.
>>64684747yes because its always better to be low visyour enemy wont always have thermals
>>64686715Multicam tropic always felt like a massive cope by Crye to me>Yes we made the perfect camo, effective in every environment>except it doesn't work if you are not in an arid middle east wasteland, so here's a greener version that actually works in green areasAbsolute bollocks
Were bombers instrumental to WW2?
>>64689535
>>64685539>Premeditated mass murder, which even Arthur Bomber Harris conceded would result in his own Nuremberging if the war went the other way (to say nothing of Churchill's starvation blockades maintained 8 months after Armistice in the first round).Completely dubious nullities UNLESS they were deployed against Soviet Russia and/or Imperial Japan, because they were that primitive domestically and dependent on foreign capital transfers/materiel they hadn't taken and seized, and/or stockpiled prior.
>>64689535I've taken to reading aircraft action reports from the Pacific theater, and some of the missions flown by the Navy B-24s are frankly incredible. Regular instances of commerce raiding by bombing at 50-100', sinking smaller vessels by performing strafing runs where every gunner opens up, raiding Jap trains, Army bases and fortifications, and thats before you get to the air-to-air component where they describe chasing down Japanese aircraft in a heavy bomber.
>>64689978Forgive the poor quality, took this at work, but I dont think I'd ever have imagined that a heavy bomber ever chased a Jap dive bomber into a box canyon then patiently waited outside for the dive bomber to try and escape so he could murder him. Yet here we are.
>>64689978>commerce raiding by bombing at 50-100', sinking smaller vessels by performing strafing runs where every gunner opens up,so basically they killed some defenseless fishermen.
was the P 26/40 comparable in performance and role to a Panzer IV or even a Panther?

>>64690063Disregard this post, I suck cocks
>>64689208Fun fact: Anzio's school uniform is a near 1:1 copy of the Italian fascist youth female uniform. The author pretty much just changed the chest badge and made the skirt shorter because anime. Even the cape that Chovy wears was historically part of the uniform.I guess the reason why they didn't do the same with Kurmorine is that HJ uniforms are somewhat more recognisable, and they might have felt they could not get away with it.
Solgw gets one fucking military contract and immediately does this shit
>>64689461It's a microbest bcg that they squirt teflon onto. Their large fram bcg is made by LMT. This is the Knights model where they gouge the shit out of the government and retards pay out of the ass for a gun that's inferior to HK416.
>>64689461Was considering getting a MK1. Glad I went with a Goysseile Super Duty instead tbhbeit. SOLGW is effectively just a marketing and assembly company. Not to mention the fact that the high-speed l337 operator “contract” they continuously harp about is some small $100k nothingburger.
>>64689957It is some impressive marketing to be able to shamelessly sell cheap aero/ballistic advantage as if it were Gucci tier

Are you prepared for Nuclear War? How do you even deal with widespread radiation? Apart from going south to Argentina
>>64690134>have loads of iodine tabletsthis only helps if youre directly in the local fallout zone within the first few days AND if you are a child or teenager, because those 2 groups are at risk of later developing thyroid cancer in such a scenario. it got shilled super hard to have a cope "radiation remedy" for the gullible voter sheeple that do not understand radiation, medicine and statistics.
>>64690271do zoomers actually believe thisi have cds older than that and they work just fine
>>64690322all the cds i burnt myself in the 90s have heavy defects. many files cant be read anymore or are heavily corrupted.
>>64690128>nuke all cities nobody winsThe nobody wins is still an unavoidable consequence, due to power grid failure, global logistic chain collapse, and the overall death toll induced by famine and disease. Sure, the entirety of Europe won't turn into a glass parking lot, and a lot of side effects like radiation and climate change might be debated, but that doesn't mean that if you're not gone with the blastwave you won't be gone soon anyway. Russia won't be able to roll through the Fulda Gap anytime soon (or ever again), but that doesn't mean it wouldn't use its nuclear stockpile in pure countervalue capacity in case someone starts thinking he might win a nuclear war, at which point it's game over for everyone anyways. Especially in today's world, society's points of failure are energy and logistics: when refineries and powerplants get glassed everything else stops and almost everybody dies. In the end nobody wins anyways.

Discuss cheap solutions to the drone problem.Not welcome:>dronefags>laser fags>missile fags>unknown technology fags
>>64686411You’ve been able to detect people in real time for ages with minimal hardware. The requirements for a hunter-killer fully autonomous drone are totally different. >>64686428Even with something like a raspberry pi 5 or nvidia jetson Nano it flickers. A person gets a branch in front of a third of their body it’s not going to recognize it as a person. If you put it 150 meters up into the air and have it look down at a position it’s not going to pick out a person in the clutter. It’s not AI like ChatGPT, it’s not going to ”remember” that a person is behind a tree or car. It’s not able to deduce things. I’ve seen drones with image recognition like 1.5 years ago. If it was as simple as that ”hurr durr just have it fly towards the area then towards what it spots” that’d be done. It might work in an open desert but that’s not what we’re talking about.>>64686646Yes, because it works. Things like AI image recognition allow you to do it a lot cheaper and more accessible. If you know how a plane is going to look parked at an airfield you can train the model on it, have the drone fly towards that area using INS and terrain recognition for the path it’s trained on then hit whatever planes it sees parked there. Or for things like power-stations. That’s an actually realistic fully autonomous mission impervious to EW. You don’t just slap a raspberry pi on a drone, train it on ”people” then you’ve got a fucking T-1000 with rotors.https://youtu.be/Hu3p5ZR_i5sOoooh, so scary!!>>64686726Retard.This is the same sort of stuff I talked about, no shit there are actual uses for machine vision but being able to detect whether what it’s directly pointed at is a tank or not is not the same as being able to autonomously go attack a trench system.>>64688618Wrong, if that was the case they’d just make it go ”Am I within area X” and have area X defined as a clearly hostile area with a large margin of error with INS backup.
>>64681868>A duck wont kill you if you happen to miss itA goose on the other hand...
>>64681585>CheapChina tier nonsense. If our screws, nuts and bolts dont cost $100K each, if our toilets dont cost $100K each, then we're doing something wrong.
>>64689013>”Am I within area X” and have area X defined as a clearly hostile area with a large margin of error with INS backup.My retarded brown theoretical friend, have you not hears that the reality on the ground is that there's no solid front-line? For all the jokes about WW1, it's not actually like that. It's fuckin' porous, the gray zone is wide and has soldiers of both sides. There's no clear "enemy zone" and "safe zone", that's the fuckin' problem. Your approach works only for long-range strikes into the enemy's depth, which isn't the scope of the battlefield we're discussing.
