We have just seen the US carry out Operation Absolute Resolve, a flawless raid in Venezuela but there's so much more than what meets the eye.The fact that the Nightstalkers could just infil and exfil on gunships guns blazing is insane in the era of gay drones and MANPADS. They didn't even have to worry about the overall IADS. IR dazzlers or just shooting back was very effective against any fuckers that tried to get a shot off. More than half of the air assets in theater being SIGINT and EW just shows the importance of spectral dominance in addition to SEAD and as SEAD itself. It's obvious Growlers used their brand spanking new mid-band Growler pods to jam fire control radars, F-35s used their Barracuda suites, but what the EC-130H's were doing could be anyone's guess. But the power went out and that says something.

>>64749304Indonesia has also just signed a deal for 48 Kaan from Turkiye. This will give them a fleet consisting of:>F-16>Su-30>FA-50>Rafale>Kaan>F-15EX>KF-21>J-10CThis will be the most powerful airforce in Asia
>>64751597you mean the biggest maintenance clusterfuck you'll ever see (except Nigeria with snow)
>>64751313>hypersonic indomie gorengI kneelThe West has fallen
Indonesia is one of the countries that will become a superpower someday and rival the US.Indonesia is now set to have a capable Airforce once these jets land in Indonesia early next year not to mention Indonesia is buying 5th generation stealth fighter jets from Turkiye.Indonesia also has long range ballistic missile strike capabilities thanks to Turkiye.take note that indonesia see australia as frienemy. australia is a friend, but have high potential to become an enemy. if you read history about relationship between the two countries, the two countries already find them self as enemies many times in history. there's even a prophecy by king jayabaya from 7th century that said nusantara (indonesia) will go to war with it's southern nation (australia) to become the regional superpower that rule indian ocean and south east asiaLooking at how the US turns a blind eye to Israelis killing women and children, Indonesians fear they would be treated similarly to Palestinians if there were conflicts, for example, between Indonesia and Australia. Historically, Indonesia has been mistreated by the US and Australia before. Indonesian has more realistic view of relationship with Superpower.In fact, Indonesia is the one who has to worry even though it is non-aligned but is surrounded by American military bases. such as in Singapore, Papua New Guinea, Australia, etc. there is a possibility that other countries will attack it to take its resources, for example, Australia, which has a military backup from the US, could help Papua become completely independent, especially as Indonesia's military equipment is much more outdated than Australia's. especially because Indonesia is flanked by China and Australia, where the issue will definitely be related to the blurred South China Sea and Australia's potential to help Micronesia push for the liberation of Papua... so maintaining and increasing Indonesia military strength is important

>>64751182More than 40 years ago just fucking around with friends tossed a MK3 concussion grenade in a storm drain at 3am from a moving car. A car load of stereotypical doctors and engineers saw us go by and burned out in hot pursuit.Luck was with us and the fireball rolled out of the drain and in through one car window and out the other. Driver malfunctioned beautifully, jerked the wheel hit the median and turned it plumb upside down.
>>64751182you realize no one likes you, right fag? fuckin gay ass piece of shit.
Starting with this piece of shit. Any gun that gets a cracked frame within 20,000 rounds is an irredeemable hunk of absolute dogshit. That isn’t even a high round count for 9mm. Glock runs circles around beretta.
>>64749953Nothing overrated bout a Glawk. "Glock perfection" is a good meme but I think everyone knows there's nothing special to em. They're popular because they check all the boxes for blue-collar sensibilities - cheap, reliable, light, you can get one in any sane size & caliber combination you want, and it'll last long enough to pass on to your grandkids. That fits the bill for 90% of people.

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

>>64743958>water 10mm, .40 and .45 down because you cant handle le recoil>load 9mm hot to the gills with heavy bullets to mimic what the watered down higher calibersExplain, surely the recoil difference is negligible between .40, .45 and 9mm +p/+p+. Then again i will shoot plain jane 9mm and .40 back to back and not notice much of a difference on identical platforms(i imagine properly sprung .40 makes a difference), and im a lanklet
why are 10mm advocates always so emotional
There’s been a noticeable lack of innovation in tactical gear for over a decade now. A Delta operator in 2026 looks nearly indistinguishable from one in 2016. Why are we in this gear plateau? Have we reached the maximum potential for development?

>>64748081Realistically speaking so long as you have nuclear weapons or even something more devastating, the eternal argument ends with sword>shield. Consequentially being a fuckoff huge target would simply end poorly for you as missiles, typical artillery, or even nuclear landmines would mean more agile and attritable, not to mention pre-existant forces would remove you from the equation. Unless you address many or all of these factors its not really feasible enough people give the OK to dedicate the necessary engineering expertise to design this and then filter resources away from the front to arm and protect this thing.
I don't understand why Hitler, Dr. Porsche, and others continued to downplay the importance of the ability to recover, repair, and re-equip stranded AFVs. The only trailers I know of in Germany capable of carrying heavy tanks were a few examples used at test sites.
>>64739562Ah shit one of the seven people who played Haze escaped the museum again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b52tVlHc84Is that a fucking pistol real sight in the red dot cut out? Is PSA inventing a shotgun that can't be used as a shotgun because it has pistol sights for some reason? the receiver is objectively the worst place to mount a red dot on a shotgun. the best option would be if you could get it low profile on the barrel or as a qd on a side rail like an AK, though the barrel, especially if you can get the bottom of the red dot below the receiver would be great because then you could have a red dot mounted for HD or turkey or if you're in one of the like 3 states that still require slug guns for durr and then you can take off the barrel, the red dot remains zeroed and you can put on a different barrel for birds or clays I really don't understand this psa 570 thing. it looks like they just designed a gun to compete with turkshit and the mav 88 to be a ghetto blaster for blowing up trash on blm land
>>64751174you know remingshit went under right? it's just mossberg or turk/chinese shit or the used market at that price point I don't even think it's actually mossberg at that price point, it's maverick. the cheapest made in America mossbergs on PSA's store are $415 slug guns. the cheapest nonmav, 12 gauge non shockwave smooth bore mossberg on psa's website is $488. Granted I'd probably trust a mav 88 over turkshit
>>64751207I guess I don't see the point of buying this when you can buy the Mav 88 that comes with two different length barrels for $299https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/shotguns/mossberg-maverick-88-field-security-combo-12-gauge-3in-blued-pump-shotgun-185in28in/p/1506620
>>64751394yeah I agree. the only advantage is I think the PSA is made in the US whereas the mav is made in mexico. but if you care about it being made in the USA you can just buy a regular mossberg. Mavs are probably fine anyway. most of the budget shit on a mav88 is budget shit mossberg was doing on the 500 until they bought maverick arms, at which point they slightly upgraded the 500
>>64751402didn't know any of that thanks
>>64751394They already said the PSA will be convertible between pump and semi auto. That alone gives it a purpose to exist. And if the semi auto version is less than fucking 1100 dollars, it'll be a pretty good deal.
why didn't the vector catch on?
>>64751461Because it was a complicated, unreliable, stupid mess that didn't do anything useful enough to keep it around. Cool for a prototype, was ass as a production gun. >>64751730Incorrect. It's a SAW, not a GPMG. Around that time, many countries were adopting the Minimi and M249.>>64747366The M249 is by NATO for NATO, the Ultimax is by Singapore and was adopted by Sinagpore and neighboring countries. No western country was ever going to adopt a LMG from a random country in Asia that barely had the manufacturing infrastructure to shit out the million of them NATO would need.You could make an argument about the mag feed system being an odd choice for an LMG. Fast reload but eh, belts. For the record, SOCOM used the Ultimax in limited numbers.
Why didn't the HK-33 catch on?
>>64751461Because G11 flopped.No really. Russians always wer suckers to copy foreign in small arms., they may have indigenous projects but they didn't get the approval. Only things that West does got greenlight.SMGs.Shturmgever in 7.62 caliber.5.5 caliber.And finally hyper burst concept but here they jumped on hype before train arrived , G11 was suddenly canceled and AN-94 was left hanging in the air.

>>64751067from my understanding, the 3d printed lowers, implying you get them from a good place also last a long time. I personally when the ASD route because I wanted aluminum but I would've been fine with a 3d print tooPlease note that one advantage of leber lowers is availability. ASD lowers while good, takes a crazy amount of time to be made and shipped, but it is a one of a kind product that's backed with good CS and is designed by the guy who made the leber in the first place.

Speaking of metal and material, what's the ideal metal for a SS? Is 4140 "good enough", or will it break/wear out? I've seen people offer fancier options like D2 for example.

>>64749374Why not go for warrant? What gave you cold feet?>>64749576I strongly recommend trying to get an option 4 (airborne) or option 19 (duty station of choice) contract for Drum, Bragg, Campbell, or Hawaii. As infantry, being in a light unit = vastly better training and better chances of actually deploying. I also strongly recommend starting to use tuition assistance the minute you get to your duty station and starting a gym routine and basic running routine ASAP if you haven't already.>>64749600Shut the fuck up. Being near a tracked vehicle = endless maintenance hours and shitty units that spend half their lives at NTC. I would know, I was in an ABCT for 5 fucking years. If anon signs up looking to do cool shit and ends up at some hellhole like Fort Riley he'll blow his brains out.
>>64750284Prefacing I was enlisted for 10 years, and am now an SNA - still in training so I can't offer any real fleet insight. I will say that working with admin, pay and in general, other support staff is so much easier. Those types tend to give you the run around if you're junior/mid enlisted. Going from a more senior enlisted position to being a junior officer, the cultural differences are there, and there is a bit of a sense of uneasiness starting "fresh" again, and not really knowing where you stand. Like I was a good Corpsman and NCO, but will I be a good pilot and Officer? Since you're going straight in, its kinda better in that way. With that said. Don't plan on failing out of OCS. Its actually quite difficult to, but besides that, yes keep running. The longer distance stuff is important for building your endurance for the PRT and anything else. In OCS your last PRT is the one that really matters (though, if you fail multiple physical events in OCS, you'll earn demerits, and could go to a board sent back a class, or worse - attrited). Before I went OCS my PRT scores were around a good-excellent medium, but I maxed out my PRT by the time I left. They're actually pretty good about getting you in shape. Just practice HIIT workouts, running 3 mi is good, but try to push it to 5-6 once or twice a week and you'll be glad you did. That's what I did anyway.
>>64749600that shit sucks he would be better off going SoF
You retards are so useless, when I asked if I should go to a different recruiter last thread, none of you mentioned that I would have to start the paperwork bullshit (SF86, references, history) over again.Unfortunately went back to my recruiter who took two and a half months of leave, only to hear from him that he's waiting for the recruiting station commander to come back from leave in two weeks before I can proceed getting my waiver shit sorted.I feel like a dick trying to cheat on my recruiter now but also fuck me this is taking so god damn long, I haven't even signed a contract yet.
Anons I'm 27 years old, civilian, been working out hard for the past 4,5 years with decent results, not fat, masters degree, fluent in two languages, I love guns, I own a couple and have been shooting them regularly for years. I even worked full time as an instructor at a commercial range, and thats when I realized I want to work with guns for the rest of my life. I have had a couple of corporate desk jobs, but I don't think that's my calling. I have a strong military history in my family, my great grandfathers have fought in literally every theatre of WWII, my house is decorated with their medals. Despite that I have never even considered a military creer. That is untill past year or a year and a half or so as shit around the world continued to escalate, I realized that I eventually will serve anyway, so might as well serve now on my terms. Is going to a military school beforehand a good idea? I also would like to attempt joining special forces instead of regular military, do you think its possible? How out of touch am I?
