Was "fragging" during vietnam actually killing incompetent officers or was it more evil malingering draftees killing officers who actually made them patrol and do their job instead of sitting around on the base?
>>65266420>Did fragging happen during the Korean war/WW2?Dunno about WW2, but during the korean war there were company+ sized mutinies in the american army. Its kind of hard to know since entire battallions were wiped to the last man more than once, nobody would ever know if their command chain broke down since there were no survivors.

>>65266887This was a war against communism though. I would agree if it was a Dem trying to draft us to go put down a chud rebellion in the UK or potatoland but killing commies is the Lord's work.

Looks like FRTs in handguns might not be safe. Was this an OOB or a squib?>https://x.com/DocStrangelove2/status/2069177030478893300
>Implying I use XitterGet fucked, dicklips.
That's way too much fire for any malfunction with normal ammo. Maybe an OOB kicked it off, but bubba's tracer/incendiary coating chain reacting down the mag is probably what is causing all the theatrics.

why is it so fat and stubby looking?looks like it does about 250mph max.You telling me that making it more pointy wouldn't add another 100mph or 20% range?
>>65266599If you search for CFD visualisations or wind tunnel tests for them you'll immediately see why and it will click. The pressure difference at the back of the half circle creates lots of turbulence and the relative low pressure "sucks" the whole body back more.

>>65263042To qualify, you need to get 210 out of 250 possible points. If you get every shot in the 4-zone, that's a score of 200.Using a .22 with a red dot will make it easier. But some people are using their subcompact carry pistol with iron sights, which makes it more difficult.

Why did stick grenades get phased out for pineapple grenades?
Stick nades are 'offensive' whereas the pinaple nades are defensive.O-nade have a significant amount more explosive 2:1 than D-nades.D-nades rely on fragmentation while O-nades rely on explosive power.

Implications of being forced to build shelters for your strategic bombers?

With the death of the FCAS project Germany is looking to develop a 6th gen fighter by itself. My question is how?They have not made a fighter by themselves since 1940s and have key technological gaps. While they are going to receive a large amount of money with rising defence budget, this isn't a solution that money can solve, these missing gaps will take decades to develop.Their most recent experience with the Typhoon, was a British led project where Germany industry once again fell into its support role. I can't see them being able to do this alone. To me their ideal partners seem to be the British but that ship has long sailed.So how can Germany industry built a 6th gen fighter?
>>65263427>one of the reasons it found partners so easily was most of the technological feasibility studies had already been done.Yes hy Japan.The i3 fighter concept, the X-2 ShinShin, the XF5 and XF9, Japanese GaN TRMs, etc.
>>65247478>Even if they could boot strap one it'd be irrelevant because nobody is out stripping the US MIC for cutting edge kit for the next 50 years at least.the US only really is ahead in VCE, for which no one else has demonstratorsand stealthall the other tech, including weapons systems (which, I know, are not the plane itself, but without them your 6th gen won't matter)is on par with other competitorsmost of them europeanthe advantage of the US is the unlimited money faucet and having everything in one country so they just have to shuffle around the states to make politicians happywhereas in Europe the only company even close to this is MBDA but even there it's "just" Germany/France/Italy/UKotherwise they all immediately whine about money "going into" other EU countriesand rather take a in every conceivably way worse, but domestic, solution
>>65263754The US is actually behind japan if we're talking purely about the single crystal superalloys used in engines.The US just brute forced VCEs to get around the problem, japan spent 20-30 years developing better metal.If the US and japan would actually work together on an engine they'd have extreme temp superalloys AND a VCE core architecture.
>>65263763>The US just brute forced VCEsthat's... kinda the only way to get them thoughbut they are not strictly necessary, e.g. GCAP>US is actually behind japan if we're talking purely about the single crystal superalloys used in engines.isn't that all lab / test stage? (not disagreeing, I just don't know exactly)the US is also "behind" in some other areas as wellif we're keeping at Germany, MTU is the best at HPCsbut behind doesn't mean much herebecause that's a <1billion R&D gapVCEs took multiple billions and a decade+ to even get a (well two) demonstrator

>>65266008It's rather nonsensical to use the same word to both describe a civilization being razed to the ground with the ground salted and someone walking away from a voluntary fight they no longer feel like volunteering for.There are various strengths of goals, goals shift all the time, and we do not use the word 'defeat' to describe every shift away from a goal:>"I was planning on changing both my front wheel bearings and brake pads tonight, but it was hot and I have to work at 1AM, so I decided to just do the side with the bad bearing and I'll do the other side tomorrow."Did the job defeat me since a reevaluation based on the circumstances caused me to shift my goal?
>>65265394>defeat>long windbags weighing in, armchairs creakingI think when you put up a leader, and they die is when you consider it a defeat. Russia lost. America won. Everyone loses in the end because it happened.

The Boulton Paul Defiant. Fucking stupid Rusnigger developers hate fun and this low tier plane would be exactly that. Just fly it into a furball and let that turret gunner do the work against some biplanes. Then in general the fucking dipshit Russians are stealing your files via the game's Anticheat and the game will never reach its real potential.

Develop the industry you can and buy whatever else for as cheap as possible. A lot of industry failed the same way East German industry failed after cold war and the growth has been hampered by incumbents so this is the best that can be done.
