What is the best AAM available today and why is it the Meteor?
>>65602421nah, the meteor is better than chinkshit, cope and seethe.
>>65602605Radar maths is funny like that. Detection range goes down by the quartic root of RCS reduction, which means that you need a roughly 95% reduction in RCS to halve your detection range, and a 99.99% reduction in RCS to cut down your detection range by 90%. Cutting detection range by 99% (roughly enough to let you close to guns) requires you to have the RCS of an insect.
>>65602415The Meteor isn't American or Chinese; therefore it's a safe edgy option for aging neverserved redditors who want to 'have a discussion' instead of have the best weapons.
>>65604258Good news sweetie. Every 5th gen fighter has an RCS *lower* than an insect.
>>65602415not the best but I uninronically think the R-37 is a good missile
How true were "monkey models"? Does USA, Russia, China (and smaller arms export countries like France or SK) still sell monkey models to their customers? How much worse were the "monkey" variants compared to the regular ones?
>>65603154>mfw the Moskva gets sunk by a fucking scud or silkworm missile
>>65603274>the Moskva gets sunk by a fucking scud or silkworm missileApparently only one of the SIX CIWS systems was operational, and even that one was possibly fucked up. Not to mention how shit the radars were (the only remaining CIWS was probably in the last-ditch OPTICAL mode)So a silkworm would actually have sunk her pretty easily.
>>65602026that:s an asad babil, an upgraded variant with some spaced armor on the glacis, wider tracks for better offroad (i think) and an electro-optical countermeasures pod (it's missing in this example, it goes on the small platform on the left side of the turret). some also had thermal optics, and some entrenching tool installed in the engine.
>>65602100Then why does USA pay extra to have different manufacturing tiers based on whether it's export or domestic Abrams?
>>65602026little known fact is that all export versions of the F-35 has a kill switch that the US military can use against any foreign "ally" that gets uppity.

>First wave: Old people, ethnic minorities, convicts. Human Waves of soldiers from the poorest parts of Russia with barely any training.

>>65604100They didn't do anything to stop or win this annoying war. Their only way to serve their nation is to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the very youngsters they didn't do anything for all these fucking years.All ex-commie/ex-soviet states are like this, or rather most of the world. Everyone older than Gen Z deserves to go on the front lines for not doing what they must've when they had the option. They had the chance to vote, they didn't; they had the choice to build anew, they didn't; the had the option to save money for the future, they smoked and drank it all; they could've cleaned their corner of the world, they threw plastic wrappers and bottles on the streets instead. All of them are alconauts and junkies obsessed with sex and status when they couldn't do the bare minimum and brush their teeth.You can probably observe my dislike of the elder generations and their choice to do nothing (good). They've passed the bill onwards to youngsters while belittling us and dismissing us as uncultured retards when they didn't even try to teach us anything.High nosed social rats will get what they deserve for fucking over the younger generations and being negligent and filthy sloths.

>>65603652Worth adding that VDV and naval infantry units were acting as QRF to rescue Wagner units whenever shit went sideways. And they did quite often.That was part of the reason why Progozhin and the MoD were butting heads, the Chef fucked up and the best units available had to come clean up the mess.
Will playing VR shooting games help me develop good aim, or are they more likely to fuck me over due to how different the handling of real firearms is? Anyone here with experience in both willing to share your thoughts?Never had a real firearm in my hands before, but playing some of these gun range games/simulators got me interested in picking up shooting as a hobby for real.

>>65600302Sounds exactly like /chug/ kek.>>65600420Sounds like an effective system that the so-called russia just can't produce in enough numbers to matter due to being a third world shithole. I remember seeing multiple APS intercepts of rockets in Syria back in the day, so they certainly do know how to make a working APS.
>>65604257You don't know what third world means
>>65604261I'm using it colloquially, but without any Soviet Union there can't be a second world anymore, so it's fun to "demote" them to thirdies.

>>65592701Navy design constraints, basically, are stability at high alpha, folding wings etc to reduce deck spot, nose gear truck, arresting hook, and reinforced gear, corrosion resistance. Aside from whatever mission specific stuff they have, which is often different than USAF, ie Tomcat as fleet defender isn't really a role in USAF, and the hornet was originally novel as a self-escorting attack aircraft although sense then that has become mainstream.

>>65604101>Do people even carry 9mm or .45 snub nose revolvers?Wasn't really my question, I mean regardless of gun.>Won't expand reliably out of a snubbie.But will they still overpenetrate? Will they penetrate more or less than WCs and SWCs?
>>65604146Lucky Gunner tested three different SWCHP rounds out of a 38 Special snubbie. None reliably expanded. One had a round overpenetrate by 3.7 inches and one had a round overpenetrate by 9.7 inches.One actually penetrated reliably between 12 and 18 inches, but actually 1.5 inches less, on average, than the wadcutters. So, given that's a round that penetrates less while having significantly more recoil, that's not something I would use, ESPECIALLY when compared to a copper-plated wadcutter which would have vastly superior penetration through heavy winter clothing or a windshield.

I have noticed that, compared to most other major gunmakers, Beretta tends to get overlooked and not talked about as much. They tend to produce guns at a quality level comparable to companies like H&K and FNH but tend to run slightly cheaper than comparable options. The 2 biggest flops they have had that come to mind are the PX4 and ARX 100. I have handled the PX4 before, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how it did not catch on. It has all the features and reliability of the M9/92 in a lightweight polymer frame. The subcompact is about the same size as a Ruger LCR and holds 13+1 rounds of 9mm. I remember this gun getting featured in Watch Dogs as Aiden's main pistol, and for the flaws that game did have, I do have to compliment whoever picked it, as it is 1000% the kind of gun someone like that would carry back in the 2000s. In the end though, it never really did catch on, and I am not even sure they still make them anymore. I just don't get why they didn't catch on.I can't remember exactly why the ARX100 didn't catch on as a while ago, but I do remember it being very big at the time and talked about like the Bushmaster ACR, yet it seemed to go nowhere.I am just wondering why Beretta can't seem to catch on in the US like Sig and FN have.

It applies to appliances, guns, and cars.
They are nuking their best products. Are they going to make only 10/22s???
>>65603414It will, but at the least it's also a question of ammo cost. A few loads of .300 matched trajectory pretty close with similar sub/super loads of 22WMR and 9mm which I don't particularly think of as super flat shooting. Having a dedicated and handy 22LR hunting rifle (silenced) and .223 hunting rifle (20", soon to be silenced), I'm struggling to find a good enough use case for .300 when costs for that ammo IIRC are nearing .223 hunting ammo. Not to mention .223/5.56 costs are rising again. I'll end up getting a Mini-30 in .300 and probably SBRing it but probably not before buying an MP5 considering bulk 9mm and 22WMR prices are about even at almost half of 223/5.56 prices. Also I'm wondering if, even on the largest game I'd probably be able to use it on, a coyote, I'd see much difference from 9mm defensive loads vs a .300 hunting load. Not to mention having to add "and not fuck up the hide even more". It's a neat gun and I'm likely to buy one in the next 5-10 years, but I wonder if it will actually fill a niche sometimes. The A-TM stock combined with SBRing it and silencing it will certainly be a lot handier than my 20" .223 though.
>>65603496Fair enough, nail on the head, am I wrong though?

Yeah, I get it's buried deep under a mountain--but it still has tunnels accessible from the surface, including for ventilation.The US has quasi-air superiority, why can't it air-drop a drone swarm (especially EFP-carrying ones) to do precision strikes to gain entry, and then rek everything within, or even just to soften it up for some air strike?

Or otherwise "enchanting" their guns with various forms of magic (never needs reloading, homing bullets, special bullet effects etc.) Harry Turtledove, Jim Butcher and yes even JK Rowling have alluded to same. Would "gun wizards" be considered autistic and nutty by their own community? Would there be a magical version of /k/ in such a setting? Maybe the evil wizards would be trying to take over the muggle governments and ban wands or similar.
>>65598763>Would there be a magical version of /k/ in such a settingWe'd argue the merits of pentagram vs hexagram vs trigram enchanting, total mana capacity vs individual spell potency, and why it's bullshit that the bureau of alchemical supplies will siege your tower and banish your familiar if you shave a few too many inches off the end of a wand.
