Are living suicide bombs a viable strategy in an open war? I thought that suicide bombing was only good for terrorism at checkpoints/markets but not for a frontal assault to a fortified enemy position.Banzai charges barely worked...
>>64739392>western Europeans ignoring people from Poland the Baltics about russia and just discounting that as some rabbit russophobia.I admit having been guilty of this and would like to take this opportunity to (once again) apologize to Eastern Europeans. This horror show of the past few years has enlightened me to the necessity (and moral categorical imperative) of TZD.

Post gear. Discuss gear. Chico's got an M1 Garand in the Streetz Edition. Level IV required.Old: >>64713312
>>64739281>AA wasnt crye bootleggerSure they were. They've grown way past it by the war's start. In the same timeframe as this PDF ('21-'22), AA already had their in-house designed harnessed carrers with a full complement of frag accessories and StKSS implementation, a less-than-overt carrier made of laser-cut laminate (A-20 Beskar) and full set of uniforms.Gr99 was always very cool, but boutique, they didn't even sell their shit except through Kalashnikov brand stores, and even there it was permanently out of stock and absurdly pricey. VKBO 3 and KBS Stelok are probably in the top 5 globally as far as GI gear goes, and competitively priced, but before they got those contracts, they never shipped any significant quantity. If anything, Gr99\Triada is the Crye of Russia, lol.

>>64739459Guess what, half of the PLA's installed 'Anti stealth' radars are JY-27A radars. The rest is the also 10 year old YLC-8B. The JY-27V was unveiled at an airshow in July last year. Gee cool your super anti stealth radar exists on paper but it'll take 5+ years to phase out the old one in any meaningful volume.
>>64721873are you being serious right now?come on
>>64721873Between this and the laughable performance of Russian radars/sams in Ukraine I have been forced to reach the conclusion that eastern AA is a complete meme, only capable of engaging(but not even reliably identifying) passenger aircraft in an uncontested EW environment. From this day forward I will never be able to take a threat from a russkie or Chinaman seriously. They are such pathetic jokes that the english language lacks a suitable term for them.>Can't detect and engage 40yr old non stealth rocket artillery reliably>Routine large FPV and small plane sized drone penetrations of protected air spaceAll the speculation of saturation attacks were wrong, they just can't do it, at least not with any sense of reliability>Couldn't even find pelosis planeSpeaks for itself>Accidentally engaged multiple passenger airlinersHanlon's razor at work, what we all assumed to be typical Eurasian malice wasn't. The systems literally told the operators that they were military jets. We just didn't realize how shit they were back then
What would you do if you owned an aircraft carrier for a month? Yes you own all the personnel and equipment too.
> use it to capture another weaker carrier like the thai one> use those two carriers to capture even more carriers> carry out airstrikes to obliterate the united states federal reserve forever> everything else then sorts itself out

It turns out ex-Luftwaffe German pilots have been in China training Chinese pilots. How are they supposed to teach the Chinese how to fly flankers when the Germans never had flankers?
>>64739464EU countries who bought US got the immense "privilege" of subcontracting parts.It allowed them to not totally lose face when accused to be US vassals, and pretend they have some semblance of defense industry, which is false.Germans tried to pull this shit against Dassault recently. They argued that they had an industrial base for airplane manufacturing. But they don't know shit about airplane design, they're just parts manufacturer.
>>64739380Everyone here knows about the fucking Starfighter.Lockheeb offered your politicians bribes and they accepted them, now decades later you're saying it's all America's fault instead of putting the corrupt fucks in a guillotine (Like ALL corrupt fucks from ALL nations deserve)You can also see anon's post >>64739464 for plenty of examples of us buying shit from you.We don't buy planes because our entire doctrine revolves around air supremacy and we're not going to depend on other nations for that. And other than the one case of the starfighter (and mostly just because of how they sold it to you suckers as a ground attack plane instead of the interceptor it was designed to be) America is the fucking BEST at it. You keep saying that America has been hamstringing the EU or whatever the fuck, but your only citation is a single scandal involving your crooked politicians and the tiny-hatted hand-rubbers in Lockheeb.I REALLY doubt that the Rafale, Gripen, etc. or any of those other plane programs can really hold a candle to American aviation. Even if one of them could, I suspect it'd be a wunderwaffe situation and they have fuckall ability to scale production to the levels that America demands.Let's say, hypothetically- Trump wakes up tomorrow and decides he really LOVES eating snails. He tells Lockheeb, Boeing, etc. all to fuck off and tells France to build a gorillion Rafales for the entire American air force- Do you think they could actually fucking manage that, logistically? I doubt it.If we're building the best planes in the world at industrial scales anyway, why shouldn't our allies buy them? The only reason is an equally self-serving one: Wanting to invest the money in your own industries and putting NATO capability second.>>64739489>They're out to get us!! Any actions to the contrary are only just because they still sorta need us!Take your meds.This is the sort of shit we mean when we talk about Europe making us their fucking bogeyman.
>>64739528> Wanting to invest the money in your own industries and putting NATO capability second. Pick a narrative and stick to it. Orange man says NATO countries must not rely on US, but at the same time it endangers NATO if they don't put all their monies in the US MIC?
>>64738964Spending on American weapons, yes. Trump never said and is actively opposed to, the EU doing shit like making their own 5th gen stealthfighter or to invest in power peojection weapons like ssbms.
>>64739528>They're out to get us!you're the one who needs to take your meds if you think that statement makes you into Europe's bogeyman
What is the most autistic /k/ type of thing you do regularly?For me, I like eating food from the can pretending I'm eating a C Ration from WWII.I'm also kind of uncomfortable when I'm not wearing my OD M65 pants (the button in liner is God tier).This is a friendly thread: no euro or american bashing, no twitter, and we'll most definitely NOT be talking about politics. Thank you.
>>64736318/threadDefinitely the most autistic dude here by a wide margin, I was gonna say some retarded shit about eating whole loaves of bread in a shitty foxhole in my backyard but this is better
>>64732389I larp that i'm behind enemy lines and I have to stay out of sight in the woods. I once nearly got pneumonia by stealth camping in winter.I also do "recon" missions and stuff like that.
I inspected and cleaned with an oily rag hundreds of rounds of milsurps 7,62x51 NATO (German MEN milsurp) and carefully arranged them in a .30 cal ammo can in staggered rows to fit 421 of them. Removed one as I don't like my ammo to come in odd numbers.Not really autistic but probably mild OCD.
>>64732389I trigger discipline my coffee mug
>>64732389Whenever I'm playing a video game I will deliberately use/mod in guns that I own IRL, and I'll keep them in my lap as I play. When I buy a new gun (all of my guns are milsurps or clones) I will usually buy some sort of gear, such as period correct webbing, helmets or bayonets and also listen to contemporary music. It could be 60's era war music with my M1A, yugoslav war music when I got my Zastava AK, or whatever. I may even get a regional drink to accompany it, like soju when I got my DR200, or Japanese whiskey for my Arisaka. Basically I embrace the whole thing. Also I used to go bicycling under NVGs at my local park, but there were too many homeless people, and if I had to get in a self defense situation, I figured that would bring too much heat legally.
Are Zerg weapons realistically comparable to Protoss and Terran weapons? It seems like both should have the weapons to wipe out the Zerg without that much difficulty.

>>64739364this is cool and good
>what are you playing right now?>what are your favourite /k/ certified video games? I'll start, I've been recently playhing Read Or Not and as someone who played SWAT 4 back when it came out, I've enjoyed it so far
>>64738554Based. It’s crazy more games don’t do this. Devs are famous for finding ways to stretch a basic game into a full game using little cheats. Ammo types seems so obvious. Fallout 4, despite having a huge gun mod function still ends up feeling stale within a few hours when you realize pipe weapons are pointless. They easily could have added some ammo variants to add another layer of customization. Those little things add up to so much more replay value. NV had like 13 ammo types just for shotguns. Even though at the end of the day it didn’t change THAT much, it was interesting to craft them all and test them out.
>>64738674As cliche as it is to say that mods fix it, mods fix it.Now excuse me while I spend the next thirty six hours fixing my list so I don’t have thirty different mutually incompatible 7.62 versions.
>>64738744I haven’t modded 4 very much. I think I just have a minor fix mod for settlement building and a mod that makes the dialogue options show what you’re going to say, because I was not dealing with that crap.
>>64738156the soundtrack is still burned into my brain
>>64738605>>64738674Technically F4 had alternate ammo types but it was behind those gay legendary modifiers on weapons.>>64738744>mods fix itNo. Despite there being 6 gorillion stupid weapon mods none of the F4 mods ever expanded on the actual weapon mechanics. It's all just surface level because it's easier to make 20 nuAR15 mods, which completely don't fit in the game world by the way, and get a bazilion downloads, comments, whatever than it is to code something. All the autistic code monkeys stayed with NV. F4 only got the lazy window dressing retards.
Why aren't modified airliners used as strategic bombers?I mean these days they are expected to just lob lob ALBMs and cruise missiles.Modified civilian planes are already commonly used in military operations as tankers, AEW&C and maritime patrol aircraft.>E-7 is literally just 737 with big radar bolted on>P-8 is literally just 737 with bomb bay and hardpoints>KC-46 is literally just 767 with a glorified sippy straw bolted onSo why are B-52s still kept on life support? surely it would be cheaper to operate a (more or less) off-the-shelf airliner instead of wasting billions on modernising such an antediluvian airframe
>>64722220>AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>64736312
>>64739263also a modified airliner btw
>>64739306Also a nuclear bomber. Pretty much anything RAF was a nuclear bomber at one point, even the helicopters.
>>64722018because airliners are made to carry 1. less weight 2. weight in a different location 3. be extremely fuel efficient.
The T-34 is the best tank of World War II. What about airplanes? According to /k/
>>64738984>Name the tank something the Germans or Japanese spotting it could never pronounceClever.
>>64739197Then why did you lose the war?
Tonnage sunk award goes to.....
I think it would be appropriate to choose only from the weapons of the victors, not the fucking losers. Maus also had high performance characteristics, but now it is gathering dust in the corner of the largest (nearly 16,000 acres) Russian museum of military equipment, which houses a collection of trophies from all Russian wars and their allies. Maus is a tank of the losers; despite its characteristics, it did not fulfill its task, which means that, logically, it cannot be the best, just like any military equipment of the losers
Over the past century, technological changes have come about which would actually make the Ratte a viable platform.>miniaturization of nuclear reactors>miniaturization of nuclear warheads>lasers for defense against drones and missiles>improvements to computers for fire controlThere is no better time than now to build the Ratte.
Is this some kind of trolling or someone being this retarded sincerely.
At first I was mad then I realized this was bait
>>64739401It still can't be transported to anywhere where it would be useful in a reasonable amount of time, and it would still sink into most terrain it was deployed to.
I want the land carrier from HAZE
Why isn't Russia putting explosives in their "advanced" super sonic missiles? This is the second time the "oreshnik" missiles have been used and they were empty again. I read they're very expensive, limited. People theorizing they were out of them already.
>>64739284Vatniks would've been insufferable for a week because the EU wouldn't immediately declare war, then they'd wail and gnash again when the next weapons shipment got extra large instead.
>>64739284Dennis and Mandic would spend days spamming the board with porn.
>>64737643The helicopters were picking off mobility-killed tanks that had to push through minefields.The mines did all the fucking heavy lifting in Zaporizhzhia.
>>64738951>first and second Congo wars had like killed like 10 million peopleThere were less than 100k soldiers involved combined, on both sides. The death figures in the millions is just people who are supposed to have died indirectly because of the war, but most of them would have died anyways.
>>64739449>The mines did all the fucking heavy lifting in Zaporizhzhia.It was actually a combination of all three. Mines themselves wouldn't be that big of an issue without a rapid response force and arty with additional air cover.
Police officers and private security professionals, do you have any videos of batons being used against anyone?
