>20 years ago>People constantly felate the F22, claiming its the plane version of jesus.>Constantly disparage the F35 saying its a an expensive boondongle that can't fight and is shit and is worse in every way to the f22 and they should have just made more f22s instead of axing the program>Today>People lament that the f22 is underutilized as it never gets any engagements>Still question the value of F35 despite its multiple successes in infiltrating enemy held airspace and leading ground attack missions in heavily defended adversary airspace.Its time you admit that F35 is the superior aircraft.
>>64757623>SBX-1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea-based_X-band_radar>The radar never points at land for the safety of the inhabitants.[3]Holy shit lmao>When your radar is so powerful you can conduct EW against the enemy's personnel
>>64757683>The vessel has six 3.6-megawatt generatorswewthat's gotta be the highest powered mobile radar ever
>>64757707That's for propulsion and habitation as well, but I'm sure the radar draws an insane amount of power.
>>64756083>>64756588He must be, because the 260 isn't even finished yet. It's not hanging off anything in an operational capacity.And like you said, it's specifically designed to fit the footprint of the 120 for easy compatibility with the F-22 and F-35's internal bays which were sized with the 120 in mind.The AIM-174 is the Navy just going 'we need that capability yesterday' and sticking a naval SAM on a superbug hardpoint to fill the role. They'll probably end up using the 260 as well for the F-35C.>>64757492The F-35 actually being conceptualised from the ground up with future block modifications and refits in mind like we actually use them is going to be such a long term benefit, people don't even realise it just yet. There's already been three major revisions of the primary computer module, so new production planes aren't flying with 2006's greatest combination of 2004's hardware and it can be added to existing planes down the line too.Becoming the right plane of the free world means the economies of scale are going to go crazy too, including for the future upgrades.
What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.
>>64753815Because we weren't meant to live like this
>>64746392start engineering your own weapons
>>64746392Fucking get an actual gun with a license. You're not some kind of lowlife whose preconvictions stop him from that, are you? Make friends with people who have guns too.>>64746405>>64746414Get a sword and maybe a spear. Real, historically accurate replicas, not mallninja bullshit. There are plenty of options for a few hundred eurobucks, and they blow repurposed tools or homemad shit out of the water. Get a shield too, and pepper spray on top. Mind you, the most likely use for this is giving it to a friend who has no gun. While you carry a gun.
>>64754215Buy a lathe, a drill press, and a bunch of quality tooling. If anyone asks sperg out about d.i.y. miniature steam engines. They will never mention it again.
>>64753815Bevause it's fun and better than being a wagie, all men with normal test dream of killing and raiding
which weapons would a modern day vampire hunter use? no wooden stakes, no crossbows, silver blades, no holy water flasks or garlic necklaces allowed, just modern cutting edge tech.
>>64757794Silver definitely kills vampires you retarded faggot.
>>64756959>necrophilia is alright, just think of it as birth controlI mean, yes, but that's not the point!
>>64754996I prefer to not hear a filipino speak if I can
>>64754991I bet you think MKUltra was a hoax, too
>>64755357Are they dated as fuck today? Corny? Does the first one have god awful cgi?Yes.Are you a complete fucking faggot?Also yes.
chinks are selling drone jammers for like 1000 bucksis it legal to own one of these in louisiana? also how effective would these be against retards with fpvs or glowniggers flying their shit around my property?
>>64755632People don't need your permission to fly over your property. You don't own the airspace. The only time they might run into legal issues is if they're recording or loitering over your yard or house. Power company inspection drones fly over my property at least once per month and spend more time over my my boomer neighbor's larger lot and it pisses him off but he has contacted all manner of agency and they've all told him fuck off it's legal.
>>64755240Shut the fuck up Roger.
>>64754987Do they work against Bluetooth speakers?
>>64755395I know right. May as well use stingers on their black helicopters if you're willing to put your money where your mouth is.
I swear to god if I'm out in an old abandoned farm plot flying my 120mph RC planes and it just falls outta the fucking sky I'm going to find whichever of you did it and castrate you.You know the cool thing about being a HAMnigger and an rc enthusiast?I can do shit like that. I can find you.

>>64757646NTA. Yes, they will fondle your balls at MEPs to check for issues and will also stare at your butthole. You will also have to take a drug test in front of someone else, both at MEPS and for your whole military career. You get used to it though.And please, please try to get an airborne contract or an option 19 for a light unit if you're going to go infantry. Mech/stryker units are a kind of shitty that slowly crushes people's dreams.
>>64757657Noted. Thanks for the advice man. I’m learning a lot and trying to do my research and from what I’ve gathered Airborne and Light Infantry are better than mech, I’ll keep that in mind.
okay guys so im at DLI. i realized you can just plug the lesson text into chatgpt and make super passages that you can listen to and read for guaranteed high scores. it works. not just on me.the problem is... ive told so many people about it. in casual conversation. im going to shut up about it.whats the worst that can happen from this? i know that it's allowed. the problem is:and yes, though its a bad thing to say. im worried it'll detract from my high scores. ive seen people eavesdropping, whom i know were stressed from the course, light up like they discovered fire when i started talking about this method. obviously im not smart because of this, i didnt develop anything, i didnt make chatgpt, i just stumbled upon a way to use it to learn so much better. but i am afraid people will start getting higher scores and it'll detract from me. whats the worst that could happen? even if scoring changes, i'd be long gone by then. a lot of my class knows. shit. i will shut up about it though.anyway long wall of text, whats the worst that could happen? i do know that its allowed
>>64757877dishonorable discharge and 20 years in the leavenworth cum pits
>>64757895should i just claim credit now and make an announcement? teaching people how to do this method. its so crazy effective and eliminates any need for effort. but i dont know. im thinking if its just in the rumor mill, it'll die eventually. plus i've realized a lot of us are anti AI, especially women at DLI? for some reason, they usually have dogma against AI. im thinking it has to do with art and it taking over artistic pursuits. anyway not the point.i dont want it spreading to detract from myself. if its just in the rumor mill, its not a big deal. but if its spreading i might as well go full blast and receive credit by announcing it. i dont know. im willing to take any advice.
Late Christmas EditionPost what you want about anything. No rules.Previous thread: >>64597464
>>64751141>ive been meaning to get a mauser gewehr and a mosin nagant for a while now,Mosin Nagants are pretty common, intact Gewehr 98s are less so but you can still find Turked examples pretty easily.>>64750674Thanks anon, it's a repro stock that I finished with Schaftol which did a very nice job on finishing the wood.
>>64749147luv me the snail drum
>>64749147I'd love an MG08/15 or a BAR. Pic for attention
Vegas next week frens.My buddy and I are gonna go next door and hang out at World of Cement. Any anons want swag?
>>64754553>it's a repro stock that I finished with Schaftolnta, but when I saw your pic I just figured it was a Mithchell's. Got any before/after pics? Was it a de-sporterization? The metal looks almost parkerized.
be me no guns in ny browsing for high power diodes at 8pmstumble upon this monstrosity "KX260 DIY Laser Cannon"claims 260 WATTS of optical powerfor reference a fucking 1W laser blinds you, and a 6W Sanwu burns wood instantlythis thing claims to be 260Wthat is literally a quarter of a microwave oven concentrated into a beam"Range: 50m" (probably the range at which it instantly ignites clothing and coons)"Battery life: 5 years" (nuclear diamond battery? or just lies?)"Fast charging" for when you need to melt a tank column at 8 AM and be home by noon.Is this actually real? The specs imply this is an industrial rust cleaning laser repacked into a handheld "cannon." If the 260W rating is even 10% legitimate, this is not a mere laser pointer, it's a war crime with a handle and possibly the most fucked up thing I can legally point at some mans eyes.Also I get ads for it on instagram 24/7. Should I buy it?
>>64755348Which one of you idiots put it in their cart? Do you have a way to generate 2MW of power, and step it up to 47kv?Are you retarded? Can I have your 5000 dollars?
>>64754555please for the love of all things good be super fucking careful
>>64756752>Can I have your 5000 dollars?What would you do for $5000?
>>64754015Your money is better spent on getting an actual fucking gun. Boomer retards in NYC have gotten carry permit, so can you.
>>64757051Ill shove a frommer stop in my ass
Should I buy a gun?
>>64757021Are you retarded? Fun and outlet, timestamp. You are incapable of replying, because you do not reside in the most powerful country in the history of humanity. Or you are funless; Either way, show up or shut the fuck up.
>>64756960No, make one in your garage.
>>64756960yes, a Bersa TPR9
>>64756960Better to buy in pairs so they dont get lonely
>>64757652The same applies to dogs, cats, and women. Get at least two so they can play with each other when you aren't around.
I can’t believe it took a 30 minute video to say what we already knew, which is that 10mm Auto is the superior automatic handgun cartridge, and that only after having to water it and then .40 S&W down for the women, manlets, and fags in the FBI did they just settle on 9mm because there was no difference at that point. Amazing.>But muh fire rate!Literally doesn’t matter in a combat scenario, doubly so if your shots don’t actually land. Paul Harrell already established this in his 1986 Miami Dade shootout analysis. Lift weights and carry 10mm, anons.https://youtu.be/ZybcWWu4ddk?si=KptwdszD7hCNFTQE
Obviously 10 mm is better than 9 mm because it's 1 more m and m and I like m and ms
>>64757128fucking oldhead they've been $5k guns for a decade
>>64753337>in a pickle where you’ve lied to law-enforcementIt’s not a lie to let the operator know the perpetrator is on the floor and unresponsive if he / she thinks you’re talking about an over dose :^)>>64756222Checked but I’m referring to public defenders, not sleazy Cochran types
>>64757128Unless you're like 60 you're being retarded.
>>64756280Did your broken safety loose its tension and turn into a second trigger?mine fucking did once. Oh and dont forget replacing the recoil spring every 300 or 400 rounds . Do what I did if you enjoy shooting stocked pistols. Sale that brick and pick up a nice artilery or navy luger. They make Incredibly nice carbines

>>64733969The F35 will still be the best plane on the planet.
>>64738138Greenland is American because America has a natural right to the Arctic Circle.
>>64755909Sure thing Muttoid.
>>64752219No shit?
>>64757524Not sure what part you're "no shit"ing about, but yes it's all basically true.The GIGO headquarters in Reading is technically inviolable land, the UK government has no jurisdiction there, and the employees are free from any potential influence (why they aren't taxed and don't need visa documents). And yes, the current chief executive is Japanese, though it's stipulated that the 3 nations will be changing leaders on a rotational basis of indefinite length. Along with the industrial joint venture, EdgeWing, which currently has an Italian CEO. When the first leadership rotation happens it's expected someone from japan will become the new EdgeWing CEO, and someone from the UK will become the new GIGO chief executive, though this leadership rotation isn't expected to happen until the early/mid 2030s, so as not to disrupt the organization/decision making during the development stage, intitial production contract negotations, and prototype production.
Why aren't ballistic submarines the backbone of world navies? Why haven't surface ships been relegated to carrier protection and amphibious operations? Why not make SLBMs out of RIM-66s and Standard missiles and Tomahawks and ASROCs? If you want force projection why wouldn't the ambiguity of the presence of submarines be enough to scare your enemies?
>>64756527Drone could be big yet still smaller than a plane. With good loitering time, sensors and datalinks these drones could serve as scout and guide missiles in their terminal phase.
>>64756527>Nobody wants to work on themWell, not nobody but it does take a special kind of sailor to be locked in an airtight, sunless, crowded bottle for months at a time.
I assume we're going to see a lot more surface ships with fewer than 150 men in board in the future and perhaps more emphasis on subs and light carriers. This is the age of quantity, big things are rarely worth the price.
>>64756578And falling prey to ELINT or failure to recognize a target.

>>64757441I just got the email from them that it’s being shipped back today and will get here Friday. Says they replaced the crane, polished, and function/range tested it. Can’t wait to see how it looks and feels when it gets here.
>>64753271Damn man. Let us know how it turns out. The only gripe I had with mine was that it was a little rough feeling, and I solved that by taking the trigger mechanism apart and hitting all the sliding bits with 0000 steel wool.
>>64757807Yeah it was kinda like that when I bought it too, but I just slicked it up by opening it up and cleaning/oiling it first and then dry-firing it an untold billions of times while watching TV. I do that with every new revolver I buy, regardless of brand, because I’m too lazy to polish them.
>>64750184>>64748573Gawd I love ruger revolvers. Also how do I find those grip doo hickeys?I need to get my doo hickey on
What’s your favorite gun? Mine is my Nighthawk Custom Predator in 10mm.
FAL/L1A1Think about it we could have been a part of that cool club but (((Ordnance Department))) had to get in the way.
>>64746538454 casull ruger Alaskan. It’s big, stupid, impractical, carries like a bank safe, and is hands down the most fun gun ive had the pleasure of shooting.
>>64757742Unfluted cylinders on wheel guns are fucking hot
>>64757746It’s an absolute beast
>>64757553no you dumb bitch
How would you defeat this?
>>64757727>memoryholed ME3 and what a fucking disaster Anthem wasThe game he was working on before the new kotor game was cancelled and his studio shutdown kek
>>64757727>It's like people completely memoryholed ME3sadly its the opposite, people actually say the game is good now and that the ending isnt even that bad.
>>64757513>Rules about genetic engineering or cybernetics? That's for faggots and faggot aliensThe only rule the council species have regarding genengineering is no giving yourself abilities your species doesn't already have(also no creating lifeforms whole cloth, excepting medigel because it's just too useful), you are free to juice yourself up Captain America style. I don't remember their being any such prohibitions against cybernetics, Shepard himself is part robot following the opening of ME2, and Joker even makes mention of medical exoskeletons.
>>64757765It was never terrible, but even the patched in ending slides(not even Fallout style because the same ones play regardless of if you encountered or helped the characters depicted in them)only took it from bad to mediocre.
>>64757772>It was never terriblelol
what's the point in hiring mercs who aren't at all familiar with your language, culture, or geography/climate?
>>64745607Each soldier gets paid $5 a day on the front line + some broken guns and tinned fish they had laying in the back of the supply depot. Each Ukrainian suicide drone cost $50 in parts and labor. As long as you can get your opponent to expend 1 drone to blow up 1 Hero of the Global South in less than 10 days it's a net benefit.
>>64745607Thus endeth the Black Russian spy joke.
>>64753110Russia is also enlisting Colombians. Lots of them.>>64757584Drones are ballpark 400-700 dollars (weighted heavily at 500-ish mark) depending on capability. 50 dollars is a fucking dream, I wish.
>>64757584Considering all the attacks on supply lines and Russian's infamous logistics it'll probably costs about $50 just to get a pound of tinned fish to the frontline.
>>64745607Bullet catchers
