Are there any videos/articles that predicted, either horribly or eerily well, how Russia's war in Ukraine would go? Especially concerning the military campaign.This popped up in my feed for some reason and think it made some good predictions but completely missed the drone warfare aspect and overestimated how well the Russians would do, but atleast captured the fact that it wouldn't be over in days/weeks like some did during the time. https://youtu.be/Z9c_HhpvBpg?si=23WNr_6ZRtzhcFqM

>>64742485>ommentating how much smarter Putin would have been if he'd just had the military practice on the border and that was itIt absolutely would have been. Not only does he avoid the humiliation and casualties, he would probably successfully communicate to Zelensky: "You're all alone, NATO isn't coming to save you" and then strongarmed him into whatever sort of deal he wanted, while at the same time diminishing american credibility and making NATO look impotent.

>>64750195Dugin is not my comrade (and y'all pay way too much attention to him anyway), and I don't extend my nationalism to random Slavs until they at least start writing in Cyrilic as the Apostolic Saints intended.It's just that it actually didn't end well for any europoors who ventured into Russia with ill intent in the last 500 years, slavs included. Polacks got as far as installing a false czar in Moscow, got rekt by a militia and suffered at least 4 partitions since. Sweden ceased to be an empire and is still salty about it, which is why they're whipping up the Finns to jump into the meat grinder after the cockhols. French had to learn rapid dining service under Cossack boot (hence the word "bistro", which means "a small inn" in French and "quickly" in Russian). Germans got rekt, occupied, partitioned and generationally cucked (though the last one is mostly an American achievement). And that's just the highlights.Don't come here, there's no loot here, only пиздюли. T-shirt for illustration.>>64750212Reports on TT quality vary so wildly I have to suspect that either they have a non-obvious two-tier catalogue or are massively counterfeited and do fuck all about it. It's really weird. The items I've laid hands on have been top notch.
>>64750414I have a TT Vest and it's rock solid, even with heavy IV+ plates. I don't know what these anti-Tasmanian Tiger guys are smoking. Did they taste sour grapes on anything cheap? Perhaps from some dude's YEHANKY amazon carrier's platebags blowing out on the range and AR500 steel breaking a few toes?

>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
>>64733831I got banned from their discord for saying that something is retarded. It wasn't even directed at anyone.The devs of the game are terminally woke, and I would suggest nobody give them any money. They don't deserve it.
>>64741333Good taste but the objectively correct way to play is full iconoclast with a slight dash of dogmatic. Also autistic elfussy is the correct choice of waifu.
>>64747289>>64747297love that game
>>64750422Shoulders sounds like a good idea, thanks. Glad to see some people are interested, /agdg/ said the concept was unappealing. Pic related is my first steps into making a hex playboard system, map is roughed out manually but cells are procgen based on the underlying map. Threw some units in there too to see what they'd look like.
>>64750767this looks worse than an 80s hexmap, I hope you don't have this in mind as the final productusing Google Maps to generate hexmaps is a 5 year old trend, hint hint
>>64749753For dots and holos, with their unlimited eye relief, you have a tradeoff between the ease of finding the dot with a rear mount, and the ease of "blanking" the sight body with a front mount.

I'm hoping you guys can help me, a few years ago I was involuntarily held and now I can't pass a background check. I'm in a bad relationship situation right now and I'd really like a firearm.Is there anyway I can get it expunged from my record or any legal work around?
>>64750434>>64750208Also, why were you committed? If you're schizophrenic, get fucked, take your lithium and Zyprexa and stop going on crazy monologues about God
Let's put it this way op, if I wasn't sure you were a retard before you made this post the mental hospital sure was. >inb4 scary ex yeah yeah get over it, if you're really that scared break up with her/him/they'nt and hit da bricks.
>>64750208Have you tried to pass a background check? Just getting emergency 302ed or whatever won't cause you to fail, you have to have been to mental health court and had a mental health judge commit you.
>>64750208Get another boyfriend with a gun. That could lead to its own issues though.

If you're the dictator of a shithole how do you prevent the hollowing out/paper tigerization of your military over time? All of these had strong capable militaries until one day they didn't and got their cheeks busted and wig split
>>64750693>We made our nuke before doing anything that would upset IsraelBullshit, goyim existing is reason enough. Prepare for your government to be circumcised.
>>64750683Apartheid South Africa literally fought a proxy war all-alone against the Soviet Union and didn't lose unlike the US.>Between 1966 and 1989, South Africa waged a long and bitter counter-insurgency campaign against the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) in South-West Africa.[34] PLAN was backed by the Soviet Union and a number of Warsaw Pact member states, as well as several sympathetic, newly independent African governments.[35] It also received considerable combat support from the People's Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) and a sizeable contingent of Cuban military advisors.[36] In response, South Africa underwent a massive military expansion to combat the PLAN threat, which included the formation of several elite special forces units such as Koevoet, 32 Battalion, and the Reconnaissance Commando Regiment.[37] South African troops raided neighbouring states to strike at PLAN forward operating bases, which occasionally entailed clashes with FAPLA[38] and the Zambian Defence Force.[39] This largely undeclared conflict became known as the South African Border War during the late 1970s.[40]
>>64750477>If you're the dictator of a shithole how do you prevent the hollowing out/paper tigerization of your military over time?Having a strong economy that isn't run by retards or is a one-not economy. Something that is antithetical to dictatorships
>>64750477You don't. Paradoxically, if you want to have a strong army, you need competent, well led armies, which cannot happen since you will also need to install generals loyal to you (or that can at least be bought by you)
>>64750477North Korea seems pretty stable in terms of leadership. Hardcore indoctrination and nationalism to the point where people believe you’re so good at golf that you only ever hit hole in ones. Also tightly control your borders and be a nuclear armed state with a large quantity of munitions.
Could you make a ballista with only classical or medieval materials strong/large enough to penetrate a steel armored tank? Let's say an M4A2E8 in case exact specifications are needed.
what a retarded braindead thread
>>64745053Theoretically yes, but it would be the size of a small building or like an 18 wheeler trailer. At optimal efficiency you're getting maybe 300fps, and so you just have to scale up until your huge iron spear is the weight of a car.
>>64746741No.You cant move the missile fast enough to pen.You could move a large enough missile to crush at a certain scale. But thats not penetrate.
>>64745053The probability of you shooting down the tanks barrel with a regular ballista shot is higher
>>64748372With a long enough penetrator you could poke a hole through even at crossbow speeds.

What's the coolest fictional sword?
>>64748185And those were just cheap imitations of Conan comics.
Ugliest motherfucker ever, but cool to use.
>>64718147>tfw faggots are too young to know about soul calibur
>>64747167Variable swords were monomolecular wires rigidified with a stasis field. Non-stasis uses did exist but tended to be variations of the same theme: really thin wire is unthinkably strong, so use it to cut things. One variant was a set of guided bolas in space, which could not be destroyed quickly because of course superconductors do not melt even when bathed in lasers. (Sure, the whole wire "instantly" heats to an averaged temperature, but that should still be many times the melting point. Niven seemed to put a miraculous superconductor of heat in any setting he could.)

>>64750178You make it sound like Navy officers have a higher quality of life than Army officers with that speech about pomp and wealth. Pretty sure Army Os have it better though
>>64749374Why not go for warrant? What gave you cold feet?>>64749576I strongly recommend trying to get an option 4 (airborne) or option 19 (duty station of choice) contract for Drum, Bragg, Campbell, or Hawaii. As infantry, being in a light unit = vastly better training and better chances of actually deploying. I also strongly recommend starting to use tuition assistance the minute you get to your duty station and starting a gym routine and basic running routine ASAP if you haven't already.>>64749600Shut the fuck up. Being near a tracked vehicle = endless maintenance hours and shitty units that spend half their lives at NTC. I would know, I was in an ABCT for 5 fucking years. If anon signs up looking to do cool shit and ends up at some hellhole like Fort Riley he'll blow his brains out.
>>64750284Prefacing I was enlisted for 10 years, and am now an SNA - still in training so I can't offer any real fleet insight. I will say that working with admin, pay and in general, other support staff is so much easier. Those types tend to give you the run around if you're junior/mid enlisted. Going from a more senior enlisted position to being a junior officer, the cultural differences are there, and there is a bit of a sense of uneasiness starting "fresh" again, and not really knowing where you stand. Like I was a good Corpsman and NCO, but will I be a good pilot and Officer? Since you're going straight in, its kinda better in that way. With that said. Don't plan on failing out of OCS. Its actually quite difficult to, but besides that, yes keep running. The longer distance stuff is important for building your endurance for the PRT and anything else. In OCS your last PRT is the one that really matters (though, if you fail multiple physical events in OCS, you'll earn demerits, and could go to a board sent back a class, or worse - attrited). Before I went OCS my PRT scores were around a good-excellent medium, but I maxed out my PRT by the time I left. They're actually pretty good about getting you in shape. Just practice HIIT workouts, running 3 mi is good, but try to push it to 5-6 once or twice a week and you'll be glad you did. That's what I did anyway.
>>64749600that shit sucks he would be better off going SoF
You retards are so useless, when I asked if I should go to a different recruiter last thread, none of you mentioned that I would have to start the paperwork bullshit (SF86, references, history) over again.Unfortunately went back to my recruiter who took two and a half months of leave, only to hear from him that he's waiting for the recruiting station commander to come back from leave in two weeks before I can proceed getting my waiver shit sorted.I feel like a dick trying to cheat on my recruiter now but also fuck me this is taking so god damn long, I haven't even signed a contract yet.
Why is French firearm design so strange?
>>64749201>lately the Mario one is infinitely better in french.Almost every language but English actually bothered to do an Italian accent, didn't they?
>>64723479annon every language where it the cost of dubing is lower than the extra profit you get by dubbing will do so.you'd have to some sub 10 million speaker language not to get MSM dubbed it isn't about frog arrogance, Italians dub, the Spanish dub, the Brazilians dub (sorry Portugal), the Germans dub, the Pinoys dub, the Jeets dub, the indogs dub.that being said the French have been taking considerable effort to improve English education. but as long as they can get every bit of media you'd possibly ever want to consume in French they are never going to be great at it just as the Germans, Italians, ect. ect. that's also why when you rank european countries by how good they are at English it's the smaller ones that cluster at the top.No one is going to bother dubbing anything but children's movies into Finish, so you'd better learn English
>>64749329It improved, but the current generation will be an anomaly. I bothered to go the extra mile because I lived in an era where games were sometimes not translated (SNES/PS1 era), or fansubs were only available in english and/or sooner, same for live TV series. Now you get simulcast and shit. And I'm not even dabbing in the shit that will kill any incentive to learn another language: AI slop, and it's already doing great damage. For everyone.The current generation is an exception. Next one will feel like they're out of 1850.

Hoffman has MIM super safeties with updated geometry listed on his site. If you have the funds, be sure to buy one (or a few) just to show your support when they go in-stock
>>64749027you know the life span of these?
>>64749031I'm not sure he's shared an estimate. Had just seen him tweet about it and thought to check his site.I could care less, and would still buy several even if they were backyard cast pot metal. It's my opinion that Hoffman deserves our support especially with RB trying to ruin his life.
