Whats the longest spear that you could theoreticaly use in a phalanx?
As long as you want, theoretically of course.
>$344 million per plane>So we can gift them to IsraelLiterally how the fuck are these F-15s so expensive what the heck
>>64693471Israel is really big on keeping its F-15 fleet flying, so much so that surplus F15D airframes received from the US in 2016 originally for spare parts were actually refurbished, upgraded and put in to frontline service, 4 of the 9 are already flying and took part in the Iran war.>pic related>>64693562You usually start gearing for tomorrows war today, it takes a hell of a long time to get the planes made and put in to service. the IAF is Israel's stratigic arm, and they cant fumble the ball on that one.
>>64693322based, everyone profits
>>64693289who's flying all those planesthey're a tiny nation
>>64694425IAF flight training is considered the most prestigious course in the whole of the IDF. The emphisis on quality manpower is so great that any active serving IDF member can volunteer for flight training until the age of 26. so you get people who are company commanders, special forces guys and even the rare naval officer who can finish the course.Plus, the reserve pool is very large and active. IAF pilots in the reserves dont stop flyinjg until they are 55, and to keep up their flight status they fly every week.Pic related is Israel's current minister of education, he only stopped flying 4 years ago.
>>64693562Bibi funded Hamas' rise to power because he saw them as a good way to undermine Palestinian unity, and prevent them from having a state.This was very successful and in his mind, their commitment to destroy Israel was no more than theatrics, he believed they were hypocritical, corrupt and incompetent.While they definitely were corrupt and incompetent, they actually kept their promise and did their best to destroy Israel, with predictable results. Now Bibi has understandably become paranoid, Israel has made many allies out of it's former enemies but they're now diplomatically isolated, and some of their allies like Qatar didn't seem so trustworthy after all.
Still reeling from the sheer retardation of the Battleship proposal, plus that it'll be replacing the DDG(X) project.But the FF(X) looks good. It won't have VLS in it's first flight, but it'll have an established supply chain and available logistics for repair and maintenance. As long as they don't try to make more capable than it needs to be, i think it'll be a good boat.
>>64682116>And the Russian Navy is supposed to be one of the stronger ones.Outside of Russia, who the fuck said this?
>>64692317Mission modules are a far cry from what they were wished to be originally... Operations aren't cheap either
>>64671743Is this why it’s rated an FF instead of FFG?It still has ASW and AA capabilities though?
>>64694267>Is this why it’s rated an FF instead of FFG?Because FFG(X) was previous cancellation class.>It still has ASW and AA capabilities though?Questionable. At least for a frigate.

>>64692336You know how expensive it is to run a fucking tank?
>>64692702it was probably sitting under a tarp for most of the past decade
>>64692462It's a pissing contest, not a real war. You bet if it devolves into a real war, both sides will use drones. Right now it's I shoot in your general direction for the cameras and ultranationalists thing.
>>64694148>You bet if it devolves into a real war, both sides will use drones.So we are going to terraform the landscape of South East Asia with optic fiber too, then ?And we were screaming at the yanks when they did it with mere chemical agents and bombs.More seriously, how would FPV use be affected by the rather thick forests of this region ?
The fuck is wrong with the video?
How does this happen, picrel?
>>64692677Dehydration and high blood pressure are the most common reasons
>>64692856Fuck, thanks for reminding me I have 3 of these in the freezer.
>>64692677Actually it's pretty common, 1 out of 3 artillery pieces will suffer it at one point in their life, same with ERA pattern baldness. It's a shame we as a society don't invest more into research to prevent such issues
>>64692710
>>64692677Aren't these just an inflatables?
Do the upper echelon military dudes continue to train with firearms throughout their careers, or would they be completely useless in a fight?
>>64692940I mean if I were that high in the command structure I'd be getting my fix on the 120s and 155s, by that point even 240Bs wouldn't be enough for me. I may even have to transfer to the navy just to chase that dragon even harder and shoot the 16"s again
>>64691169in a real military, there are sergeants to do what Lt. Colonels do in the Russian military.
How important does one need to be in order to carry whatever sidearm they want? Can a general carry a SAA like Patton in current year?
>>64691794Yes. He's also probably Hubbard's son, his birthday would fit the timeframe of Hubbard and Parson's Babalon Working.
Can't this guy summon demons to fight for him anyway?
Why were the huge Qing Dynasty armies so ineffective in the Opium Wars? They have to be the most one-sided wars in history.
Thank you /k/ for your particular blend of historical/military autism. I enjoyed this thread.

>>64693523You're actually full of shit.Ming dynasty also had generational ranking>Qi Jiguang was born in the town of Luqiao in Shandong province (now in Weishan, Jining) to a family with a long military tradition. His forefather served as a military leader under the Hongwu Emperor and died in battle. When Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty, he bestowed upon the Qi family the hereditary post of commander-in-chief of Dengzhou Garrison, a district of the present day Penglai.Every single one of your earlier claims about the Qing military was also shot down in flames here.https://desuarchive.org/k/thread/64666880/#q64675999

Hello /k/ board, have you seen my grandson?
In this thread you can only post the absolute KINO guns, I'll start with the one in Leon the Professional

>>64693641>it was Thompson all along...
What's the best cap and ball revolver? Are they suitable for home defence?
>>64691929There are conversation cylinders for some cap and ball revolvers that allow you to use 45 long colt as well.

>>64693352it was way more amateur and russian maybe. some guy holding a potato phone

This thing, if only because the rockets can be fired by being leaning against a rock and lit with a match. Also technically man portable.
>>64685733Just copy the french military. They are the gold standard in cost effectiveness. >MUHHHH THEIR EQUIPMENT IS TOO EXPENSIVE If you produce shit in your own country, buying said shit is basically just handing money to yourself, think about it.
EDC? i think so
>>64674253I think husbands and fathers see this kind of gun and say(my wife/daughter) would love this women really don't care as much as people think
>>64673769What's everyone's bet on the next big gimmick finish for woman guns?First it was pink, then there was that big Tiffany blue kick now we've got cow.There's already floral and leopard print and so on guns being marketed to women right now but those are all third party rather than factory as of current save for maybe some weirdos that prioritize having a shitload of finishes on a small catalog of guns like the late SCCY (RIP, you're being straw purchased in heaven's pawnshops now) I'm betting on something floral.
Fellas, I love cow girls (kemomimi), cow girls (furry), cowgirls (yeehaw), and girls in cow print bikinis, and every combination therein. I very much wish to touch the cow. I need to get my wife a cow print bikini. Sadly, she only had b cups :,(
>>64694075Just get her pregnant a lot and her tits will get bigger
>>64693637>What's everyone's bet on the next big gimmick finish for woman guns?You play Jedi Survivor?I liked the High Republic aesthetic on the blaster.Not the greebles but the pearl/gold/wood/beskar colour scheme.

>>64693149I think you're confused. AR auto sears are not held in place with a friction fit. As >>64692997explains the pin is held in place by a spring leg in a groove (normal installation) or by the walls of the receiver (no-hole sear holder being discussed). Not that there's anything wrong with friction fit pins when they are perpendicular to recoil. Your gas block is held in place by friction fit pins. Everything in a glock is held in by friction fit pins.
>>64693306gotcha, yeah I think I was confused, I was thinking how would this piece here >>64692497 fit in the receiver without a hole drilled, and the answer is friction apparently which is neat>Not that there's anything wrong with friction fit pins when they are perpendicular to recoil. Your gas block is held in place by friction fit pins. Everything in a glock is held in by friction fit pins.gotcha, fair enough, thanks for the explanation
>>64693385No it is wedged between the safety and rear of the receiver, it ain't goin anywhere. Some other designs use the rear takedown lug like a boogle.
Niche as fuck but they still make these on custom order. Someone needs to make an FRT for it
>>64693910that would be neato
>>64692598Also set the AI to aggressive because in the normal setting sometimes the Western allies, if they are winning, don't bother to invade Normandy / Italy and just let the Soviets take all of Europe uncontested and it's really lame when that happens. Aggressive setting prevents this.

>>64694137>Go on Reddit because of course those "high IQ" definitely-not-Indian Redditors will surely have something to say about this>Every top comment in every sub reads like this: "Well you see goyim, Israel uses this free money to buy American planes, so we are ackshually doing YOU a favor by taking your free money and free weapons">Not a single comment asks if this supposedly benefits America, why don't we give free weapons and money to our real alliesThe internet is over.
