There's no real need to rehash why mechs don't work but what is the ideal jungle support vehicle then?
>>64754746B-52
>>64754949A legged vehicle of comparable weight to a tracked vehicle is going to have a reasonably comparable width and is thus going to be similarly awful at traversing dense jungle terrain, except that the mech is tall enough to have serious stability issues that will be aggravated by the mech's greater height causing it to run into branches that destabilize it, which a lower height vehicle would simply drive underneath. The mech is also, due to the aformentioned height induced stability issues, going to be far worse at simply ramming its way past trees and other foliage. The only time legs start being an advantage is if the ground surface becomes so uneven that tracked vehicles simply can't move over them without exceeding their maximum climbing angle or tipping over, but said obstacles are also liable to collapse under the mass of a legged vehicle and cause dangerous stability issues unless the vehicle is so light that it is well below the weight of the lightest traditional armoured vehicle. Practically speaking, if the terrain is so challenging that a tracked vehicle can't traverse it, then no large ground vehicle will be able to navigate it at a reasonable speed regardless of what form of locomotion it relies on.
>>64755200>but said obstacles are also liable to collapse under the mass of a legged vehicle and cause dangerous stability issuesThis, half of climbing up steed slopes is tangibly feeling when they're not stable. This is why mules are decent for mountainous terrain, they're alive, they have nerves that let them know what they're walking on and how to fine tune their weight distribution instinctively.Hell this applies to soft jungle terrain too, and while you could argue a robust set of pressure sensors paired with AI magic could make it work, why make this slow, vulnverable, overly complex system when you could just load 100 small drones with AI magic and have them perfectly avoid all trees while effortlessly striking targets at 100+ knots.
Something that...removes the jungle.

>>64752826Yeah because the yanks were already lugging big jammers around to deal with all the fucking IEDs lying around.
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?

>>64755240>things that are notBut I know what you mean. Meh, you math is dumb. Infinity is just a concept notnan integer.
>>64755238Well optical drones aren't jammed or jammable. So it doesn't matter what device you have or if it's on or if you like spaghetti.
>>64755255Magnum something. Something with an "X" in the name. Magnum X seems to work, search for that.

>>64754940S E X YIs cleaning the suppressor as difficult as forums make it to be? Is the H&K™ cleaning tool® hard to find/necessary?
>>64754957You can make your own port cleaner from a copper pipe brush and 12" PVC pipe, but it is necessary. I haven't cleaned the suppressor itself yet at all. I'm using a BRT hub adapter and a CAT MOB for my suppressor stack. I clean the barrel ports/threads every 300 or so rounds but you could go 600+ easy. Other than that it's just like cleaning any other suppressed MP5. Being an SD adds maybe five minutes to cleaning the whole gun.
>>64754957Not him, but the B&T Print X is stupid easy to clean.>every 1.5k to 2k rounds, plug end, fill with cleaning fluid, plug other end, wait overnight>shake, empty, rinse with water, blow air through and then wait until dry>oil the threadsThat's literally it. You can get a 3d printed port cleaner for like $20 too.

The only time I've ever been attacked by a dog was a pit bull, someone opened the gate and it got out and bit me in the thigh, at first I didn't even realize it wounded me, it bit me really fast then walked away like nothing happened, but then my leg started going numb and I realized it actually did a lot of damage, my pants and underwear were stuck to me and I couldn't take them off from the blood being dried and the cloth stuck in the wound, it ended up turning all kinds of purple and yellow and black and blueI really fucking hate shitbulls

Two questions, what would be the first steps to take to join the US military as a Brit? Ours is appallingly bad in morale, funding, structure and reputation. Secondly, this might sound retarded but can you choose to join the cavalry? Air cav "We Were Soldiers" stuff, fly in rather then ride in.

Seriously though, there really isn't a dedicated type of soldier who travels in with helicopters? Is that just a general mode of travel now for all troops?
Can you guys please help understand what the post-service employment landscape is like for officers who join at an older age? I posted here a while back asking if it would be a mistake to join the army as an officer at 33 as I’m working at a university and struggling to advance. I see veterans with otherwise similar backgrounds to me getting accelerated career tracks because they are veterans but they all served right after college or right before. I’m really having a hard time figuring out if I can still get the same boost at this point or if that ship has sailed for me. FWIW I’m working in research, no PhD, a lot of this stuff is DoD funded. All of the department heads and supervisors are vets. All of the super high wage high skill employees under them are vets. All the people on the path to high level university leadership from here are vets.
>The Americans can no longer be trusted>Russia is threatening>China is threatening>The Americans are threateningWhy don’t all countries just acquire nuclear weapons? If sufficient numbers of countries take this step then all threats of sanctions from non-compliance lose their significance. Israel already set the precedent by showing how nuclear weapons inspections and the sanctions tied to them have no meaning.First one should build a large stockpile of nerve agents and genetically modified biological weapons so that deterrence remains in effect while the bombs are being built. Olympic pools of VX being pumped to cheap drones with spray tanks would be enough since the poison will remain in the terrain as microscopic droplets for months thus neutralizing enemy population centers even if the vast majority of launches are intercepted.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGE_oMVJ50I

>>64752497It's very likely that over the next decade, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil will build nuclear weapons. New nuclear arms protections will probably form too. It is also likely that Sweden and Ukraine will attempt to. The Andean nations, Canada, Mexico and Taiwan will try to gain membership in nuclear protection umbrella groups. There is a worrying potential that the Gulf Arabs will acquire nuclear weapons as well.

>>64754592good to hear. will go talk to them.
>>64754153They're recommending them to lower trigger pull weight ie trigger snobbery. It's a bullpup, your going to be dealing with a worse trigger, it's part and parcel ie the price you pay for getting a 8.5' .300blk rifle shorter than a MP5 or a Mk18.Pay closer attention to the install and tuning of the trigger linkages, that's where you'll see the most potential for improvement

>>64751731>they stockpiled enough petroleum etc to last them 2 actual years in WW2 before the war began, don't give me that bullshitFact check: fake news!Germany started war with 500K tons stockpiles of avgas, producing 900K per year in 1940 (7 month of production stockpiles). Peak production was 2400K tons in 1944.For comparison US produced annualy 30000K tons in 1945 (12 times more).
>>64752600According to Soveits themselves they had in June 1941 23000 tanks in military service. 18000 of them of outdated models (T-26, BT). You wouldn't find any T-26 and BT in Soviet ranks in 1942.

>>64749127M110 is decent but silencer tuning is a bit harder than a SCAR or AR 15 even. AGB ruins the look and heaviest buffer and spring often aren't enough with super hot match ammo while I just click the SCARs gas selector once or twice to get the setting I want. KAC also charges over a grand for a re barrel which I have to do around every 10-15k rounds because the barrel is unlined. The URX 2 and M110 profile barrel make the gun retardly heavy as well. The M110 does shoot super smooth though. Its like a sewing machine when you rapid fire.

When the Geran/Shahed drones first appeared, I figured Russia would use them smartly in a classic SEAD/DEAD role: send waves of them to force Ukrainian IADS to light up radars and reveal positions, then follow up with VKS aircraft, with anti-radiation missiles to systematically dismantle those defenses. Russia instead has chosen the most brain-dead and wasteful approach, by treating the Geran/Shaheds s as nothing more than slow, low-cost cruise missiles hurled directly at static infrastructure targets, while leaving the overwhelming majority of Ukraine's air defenses intact and free to keep operating. They're banking entirely on brute-force volume and saturation to get a few through, completely abandoning any effort at SEAD/DEAD. But the thing is that they're not even achieving any kind of saturation effect since, the launches are scattered haphazardly across random cities, regions, and targets all over Ukraine that changes every night (some they they go after energy infrastructure, some other go after some depots, some others they try to hit some cities...), instead of making up their minds and concentrate them single high-value area, frontline sector, or even one major city at a time, and keep hitting them until achieving disruption or collapse. This is also precisely why so few targets are actually hit despite hundreds being launched every night, and so many of them are intercepted.By contrast, even in the recent U.S. operation in Venezuela, the LUCAS drones (the American Shahed clones) were properly integrated into a coordinated SEAD/DEAD package.
Russian SEAD doctrine is at most jsut htem putting one or two anti-radiation missiles on a strike plattform so it can launch them when engaged by a SAM. That's btw literally what the US was doing once upon a time. Before they realised that it's completely inadequate. During the freakin' Vietnam War.Yes, Russias SEAD doctrine is literally pre-Vietnam tier.
>>64751324That's not their achievement, that's the achievement of a weeks worth of intensive ice rain and unusually low temperatures.
>>64754476>"ignore the donkeys and horses, they're just figments of your imagination"
>>64755150The USSR spent 60 years having a doctrine of "fuck SEAD, we can't compete with the USA anyway" and Russia spent another 35 years not being able to afford any doctrine other than just using Soviet shit
