>>64690719>Poland Unveils ‘Invisible Shield’>WOW IT'S FUCKING NOTHING>no shit, the real shield is invisible :))))
>>64690719Metamaterial reflector, or negative refractive index lens are what make these things 'magic'.
>>64699168Or having a distributed array of these things, linked together via fiber optics, with perfect timing and phasing can creating interference patterns in 3d space.Things like this are ancient tech though (other than the lensing system).Any high powered over the horizon radar system from the 70s or 80s can do a lot more damage. Especially if you scatter or frequency upshift off the ionosphere.
>>64699179Then there are things like reverse phase conjugation, or "time reversal" where you can send EM energy back to its source as though it were reversed in time.You can create an isentropic compression wave of electromagnetic energy....like a collapsing sphere.BTW, I realize longitudinal forces in EM are a touchy subject. Officially, you can't exert longitudinal force with EM...but it's a nuanced subject. Also ya, I'm sure some anons will come at me with this, but again it's a nuanced subject.For example, with a radially polarized beam of either microwaves or optical laser, you can have a longitudinal electric field at the focal point.Now consider that concept instead of a single radial beam, you use an interference pattern from multiple emitters (like picture in OP but with metamaterial lenses) to create the longitudinal field, or even a 3d collapsing sphere.I bet you could create atmosphereic plasma phenomena this way. Like plasma orbs.
>>64691762That would be in violation of Part 15 of the FCC rules, so no. All devices MUST accept electronic interference or else risk the ire of the FCC.

so mines are legal for home defense as long as the home is occupied?
>>64698576If they are all registered destructive devices, and are triggered manually by the owner, an argument could be made that they are not boobytraps (this is where the issue of legality stems, at least in the US. The devices can be owned legally, but it is always illegal to set a trap for humans). A claymore style device that is manually detonated would not be a boobytrap, but it would need to be a registered DD. Mines like the ones pictured would be illegal, since they are activated by the target, rather than manually by the owner.
>>64698662It is not a trap if it is command initiated. It is a trap if it is victim initiated.If a device requires simultaneous command and victim initiation, is it a trap?If both methods can be offset by half a second, is is a trap?Etc.I think there's legal room for innovation here.
>>64698677I think the best legal way to do it would be to have the mine linked to an alarm that is target initiated, could be a silent alarm that just lights up an indicator for the operator, who can then initiate the device. This would be legal, provided other criteria for use of deadly force were met (in this case, I will assume the user lives in Texas, so anyone on the property without permission after sunset).
>>64698662so if they step on it, and that triggers a cell phone to ring, and you can>Accept call - blow up device>Decline call - device does nothingthat would count as manual activation after an automated alert, no?

Can this thing repel FPV drones?
it doesnt have to be perfect, just adding 5% survivability to a thing means saving real human lives which is a noble cause and 5% more soldiers alive makes sense to bean counters from an economic perspective
>>64699186based retard, the only survivability copes like this provide is a fucking rounding error

>>64663259>>64668521A26's were ridiculously effective and efficient, but suffered from airframe fatigue.I worked on an "OnMark" that flew out of Goodyear back in the 90's, and the owners said they NEVER used the full power of the 2800's just to try and reduce wear on the airframe. Not the engines. The airframe. They could replace the engines.

>>64698983He held a doctorate in politology (revoked for pedophilic rape). He only made to first lieutenant in WW1 and wasn't part of the army in the interwar period, but joined the party quite early. So not the same milieu at all.
>>64696582>It's not a war where straight lines are drawn in the sandWas Schwarzkopf mildly retarded?
>>64698820I would think that not lunging forward and putting yourself into a position where your supply elements could not reach you past a small horde of armored cars and parking on an open plain right next to a strongpoint that was both visible and had been marked on German maps prior to the operation would be a very simple thing to process. Implying that he was somehow incompetent is stupid, but the fact of the matter is that he was incredibly reckless and that he profited so much is just as much a testament to the calamitous British leadership as it was to German tactical superiority.
>>64699097he had to act. brits were bringing in reinforcements from their slave colonies. if he had just waited they would have calmly assembled a comfy numerical and material superiority and then just wiped the board with his forces. rommel had seen that in ww1 countless times, he knew he had to do something, even if its risky as fuck. the alternative was worse.
>>64696386Halder should’ve been sent to France and Rommel to army group Center.
>>64677656LOL... that's my tank, and my driver....Near Hannover in 1988. Good times!
>>64696796no shit? Did you post this in a previous thread or something?
>>64684938I guess we got objectively better tanks in the M1 Abrahams and Leopard 2, but sadly they future turned out to be far less futurey than we predicted.
>>64678822The protection of the Leo 1 was its superior mobility and firepower through better sensors and firecontrol systems. Having 70mm of steel armour or 140mm wont make a difference if you get hit but the chances of you getting hit are smaller if you move faster and dont get stuck so easily. whats with the new captcha.? The first iteration was completely erratic and now its optimised for indians

if it werent for that somalian fraud FUD this thread wouldnt even have replies
>>64698873The fraud does explain where Somalia is getting the money for its campaign.
>>64698977I'd personally forgive the (probable) fraud if it'd turned out that they were actually funneling money into making their own state
>>64697735Hope the old mad dog does it, Donnie is the sort of crazy guy who keeps screwing around but every once in a while he does something absolutely based and beneficial to mankind.
>>64688424I am amazed how Somalia keeps turning into Haiti when it could be like the Dominican Republic (of Africa). All of Africa is the same story of massive fertility, long growing seasons and every advantage of weather and natural resources and yet.
I am very curious to know what /k/ would use in the zombiepocalypse. What would actually be best? I always thought that the writers for the show had a lot of missed opportunities for /k/ino guns, gear, armor and weapon concepts both from history and modern times they could have applied to the show. A lot of stuff just felt like it was missing. Every time there was an actually big faction it seemed like they didn't equip their grunts with the most effective choices. Keep in mind, it would still have to be things that you can continue to use well into the future. There is no military supply chain in the zombie apocalypse unless you are with an utterly gigantic group of survivors.
>>64697992>require large amounts of high quality steel. For something that can resist a human bite, full plate made of sheet metal like is used for commercial siding or roofing will be just fine. It's readily available, easy to work with, and requires bo special skills other than a basic idea of what armor looks like. Just wear a winter coat underneath and duct tape/zip tie pieces directly to it and you have zombie bite proof full plate.
>>64693730Ideal would be an M548 with some protective modifications (Mesh over the windows, reduction of any potential hand holds, mesh or some other protection for the bed and gunner position) with 8 men. 5 in the cargo bed armed with M4s, a gunner with an M249, a driver, and an assistant gunner/backup driver in cab. Everyone in protective gear to prevent blood spatter infection. >make multiple passes through the area needing to be cleared>sound of a screaming Detroit Diesel draws in the horde, enhance with music if needed>once suitable number of undead are presented, begin engagement by reversing slowly at oblique angles to the horde>gunner and two shooters in rear on exposed side engage targets with accurate aimed fire>reverse turn as necessary to alternate rear shooters>5th man in rear is lookout for any threats behind and spotter for driver>continue engagement until you run out of targets or reach a minimum reserve of ammunition and return to base faster than undead can walk.I figure you could kill several hundred at a time with this method with little threat to yourself. Yes you could just crush them under the tracks, or wait for them to surround the vehicle and stab them with a pole arm, but playing conservative is always going to be the smart move. The M548 isn't totally necessary, an FMTV or other heavy truck would work, but the 548 would have a little bit better maneuverability in an urban environment with a shorter length and the ability to skid turn.
>>64698500This thread was asking what works in TWD, a retarded show where everyone is infected but the virus doesn't kill anyone unless you get directly bit.
I've always wondered why zombie media didn't depict people using the good old pointy stick more (I know it's mostly because chainsaws and such are cool). Anything from pipes cut to a point, sharpened metal bits wedged in dowels, or even repurposed gardening equipment would fit the bill for stabbing something in the brain while keeping the infectious brain goo far away from you. I think people would go ookook mode real quick in the face of limited supplies and an implacable horde that needs stabbing.
>>64694989I haven't bought ammo in any significant quantity since before COVID and still have north of 10k rounds, and over 20k primers. I would never run out of 5.56, .308 or .45; if anything I would have enough extra to trade.
