>>64664356Communists. Granted they were Russian communists, but there's a subtle difference. Every Russian needs to die just as every communist needs to die, but they deserve their helicopter rides for different reasons.
>>64663726funniest is when they sell you their own tanks, fighters and missiles and call it aggression
>>64663623The Finnish F-35 multirole fighters will be manufactured in series of the 17–22 Block 4 version. This is the fighter’s system upgraded version 3 - in other words the Technology Refresh (TR)-3 configuration.retard

If we're going to post about this E-slut, anyone got the slutty pics?
Hard mode: No derailing the trainLegendary mode: No killing anyone
>>64680354Deploy a green agenda that makes coal unavailable on international markets. Or at least unaffordably expensive and illegal to export. That is clearly a steam locomotive. So it would grind to a halt. Next convince the passengers to buy my crypto coin, having them give me their money willingly. The rugpull them.
>>64680354Idk if you can man. That conductor might have some kind of supernatural shit up his sleeve. The whole thing seems like a kind of like A Christmas Carol meets Room 1408.
>>64680354Rob it? I'm going to have sex with the running gears. I'll probably get my dick ripped off when they throttle up to dislodge me but I don't give a shit, fucked a magic train.
Grease the tracks on a remote uphill section…. Force it to slow down by releasing cows on track. Board train and force engineers to dump steam and water and stop stoking fire…. At that point it’s not going anywhere. Then rob passengers/take goods. Then ride off on horses.. cut telegraph lines as soon as trains in site to prevent calls for help.. pick somewhere that’s a few miles away from anywhere it’s expected and you’ll have a good head start.. finally find place to stash loot in the middle of nowhere and cover your tracks. Wait a year or so before trying to sell or fence the loot
>>64680354It's a magic train run by saint nick.A literal saint, god has given him the power to bring cheer to children and you want to try your hand at robbing his wards?You will be turned into a lump of coal before you even step outside.
How were these used? As a big axe with pointy bits or as a spear with a bit more versatility?
>>64674659In most medieval small towns it would be men of the lords retinue. In cities it would be militias. But for example flemish and dutch militias, schuttereijen, who were prominent in the 30 and 80 years war, were expected to do territorial defence and to train regularly. They werent town watch, more like second line soldiers.
>>64681385>Chalking it all up to disease is some later Liberal bullshit rationalizing.Agreed. Yes, there was disease. But far before that, there was murder.
>>64681385Reminder that Correz and Pizarro were from families of low nobility who had fought the moors for centuries in the Reconquista. They were even cousins. They got so bored of peace after there no more moors to slay in Spain, they went and found more heathens to fight for the glory of God. Demons who rip mens beating hearts out and eat them.
>>64674265Yes.
>>64680430They had those in Europe and they where known as gambesons and they where worn under metal armor like maile plate armor or Brigadines they where useless against thrusts
Was the Yugoslav military the 4th strongest military in the 80s-90s before it fell apart?
>>64678450>>64680471Just adding that this claim is popular among former ex-yugoslavs and yugonostalgics but its usually cited as "4th largest in Europe" not the world.It was the largest non-aligned force in Europe though.
>>64678450Vukovar alone answers that question for you.
>>64678450noYugoslavia was a federation of several states and yet they struggled to match the Bulgarian army
>>64678475You didn't know about the JNA?
>>64678450*fourth in Europeand no. Well, maybe yes, depending how you look at it. It leaned heavily into partisan roots and it's plan for fighting adversaries was literally to cede ground and go innawoods. There is still a bunch of weapons and ammo caches stored throughout former YU

>>64681791Yeah, but it climbs to nearly 44mm. It's a Euro-market plate, or at least was, and should be gunning for 25mm. I think it would do better as a 7lb tile array.>>64681794Certainly, but M2AP has been out there since 1943. Think also of all the rounds above M80A1 that M2AP protection covers. M61, M14 API, various 7.62x54R APIs. Also, 6.8 M1186.>>64681798It's a steel titanium alloy and costs about as much as a Hesco 4403, but is only tested against M855A1 out of a 14.5" IIRC. It's a shit-tier plate. 8.4lb base coat (don't do it), 8.75lb with build up so it doesn't spall into your face. M80A1 will be a nasty spaller with that core.
>>64681843It would be funny if it doesn't stop M193.Somebody should test it against Bubba's .22 Creedmoor.
>>64681878M193 rating is 3,280ft/s, so you could probably pop it using NAS3-cased 55gr out of a 20" musketoon. That gets you 3,465ft/s. An old trick from 2005 that the scam artists at Le Mas / RBCD used was to load 35-41gr varmint projectiles pissing hot. They'd pierce 1/2" AR500.
>>64681878You talkin' to me?
>>64681952Bond, this is Q. The crown needs you to fuck the local yokels who thought they could save a buck.
Speech: http://kcna.kp/en/article/q/5ceed4f1eb2058145a9bbbc60fcf07dd.kcmsftl;rd: Basically they want a nuclear sub fleet and are building a Blue Water navy, new surface ships explicitly referred to as 'Attack Destroyers'1/4: It is large.
A US or European sub is far more likely to be destroyed by a Sea Baby type drone than a Nork one. Besides the fact the the DPRK will have far greater access to things like anti torpedo nets several of their ports are functionally immune to this sort of drone. The US (and everyone else) lacks access to fortified harbors like Nampo.
>>64681613You are so fucking retarded lol
>>64681681You are the idiot who doesn't know what a Sea Baby drone is but is 100% sure that US subs can't be hit by them because they are quiet. You are probably so dumb you think stealth aircraft parked on a runway can't be hit because they are invisible.
>>64679603>pakis did itThat Khan guy did it by moving to the west, getting an university job off his third world academic credentials, and then stealing as much knowledge as he could, and buying hardware for cascades and shipping it back to pakiland. It was not until the pakis managed to detonate their first bomb that anti proliferation measures were put in place.
>>64680267>even sink a South Korean subThe Cheonan was a missile boat that may have been torped or may have been mined. Anyway, it broke into half and sank. Is that what you were thinking of?
Merry Christmas you beautiful anons!If you haven't received your package, please submit an email to me and we will start tallying the late arrivals, and then sorting between folks who are likely to get theirs in the next few days vs those who the dreaded USPS has lost forever. We will be dispatching the Grinch Relief Corps (GRC) as needed to remedy.

>>64680045Can do! Thanks again, man. Your gift was really cool. Next year I'm gonna be signing up as early as I can so I can better prepare. Easily the coolest event on this site.
>>64681268>>64681274great pictures
>>64681661maybe I'll get a camera next year :)
>>64681677did you take these with a laptop webcam?
I’ve never participated and won’t (because I don’t trust myself enough to find cool gifts). But I do check out these threads every year as they add to my Christmas spirit. It’s neat to see the thoughtful gifts and sincere thank yous. So to all of you thank you and a very Merry (belated) Christmas and most excellent new year.
PCC thread for my newest fixation. MP5-SD clonePost with me to celebrate, rimfire welcome
lol, so I just posted from a computer that I don't normally use and the captcha made me wait 60 seconds then presented me with 3 different test to pass. I post regularly and the new system had only been giving me a single simple problem to solve. People complaining about the new system being slower must not be regular posters or commonly change terminals/VPNs and therefore are recognized as new posters. Interesting development.
>>64680987I'll also add that very regularly verification is not required at all if I post from the same device.
>>64680208>which is really nice especially when I'm phonepostingBro! Im a phone poster, too! Snork, we are like brothers, fug! What's your name?

>>64681477>july 1stits over.
>>64681111nice quads
>>64681325okay>>64681477how interesting, hopefully they still are?
>>64681325how about this? I want to stress that this list is not complete, this is just information I know personallyhttps://pastebin.com/raw/w2vdst9r
>>64681477Huh, and me sitting on 2 SkS-Ds that would appear to be just begging for a 2 position version of this. There is just so much dev going on and on-going!
Now that the dust has settled, what is the /k/onsensus on the MiG-23?
>>64664229No reason to have ever gotten rid of the MiG-21, aka the Flying Kalashnikov
>>64676920Aircraft evolution got to the point that it was a pointless aircraft. It made it's name in North Vietnamese hands as the ultimate Soviet boom and zoom interceptor but what else?
>>64678638One of them managed to smack an israeli F-15 with a R-60 somehow
>>64678877Reminds me of a memorable fight in SF2/WOE when i was shot down by a MiG-21 due to my target fixation. I had just shot down two SU-22s and four MiG-21s when i got nailed while lining up another. Disregarded warnings and paid the price.
Been waiting for another one of these to pop up, guess I'll just do it myselfYou get extra points if you actually own what you post

>>64661341Underrated filename.
A few days ago, at a Christmas event, General Masiello, commander of the Italian Army, has announced that starting next year they will begin full adoption of the Beretta NARP assault rifle and of a new multi terrain camo that will replace both the standard Vegetata and the Vegecam used by special forces. Camos and rifle are already issued to a few elite units, and have been in testing since at least 2020This means that Italy follows the international trend of adopting an AR15 style rifle and a Multicam-like camo. Thoughts?
>>64673815at least it isnt Unobtainium
>>64665722And thats why Russia has already conquered Ukraine, right?
>>64664991based
>>64673899yes
>>64665276>Be France>Build a military and one of the largest defense industries on the planet>Voluntary alliance: hey we should use the same gear.>France: cool I'll sell you some of my stuff if you want>Voluntary alliance: *shitd pants* NOOOO YOU HAVE TO USE OUR STUFF OR DEVELOP NRE STUFF TO REPLACE YOUR STUFF WITH EVERYBODY GETTING A CUT WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SO UNREASONABLE?I'm starting to see why France doesn't pretend to give a shit anymore.>>64665783It honestly looks less all terrain than what it's replacing. Looks like worn out scorpion with black digital specs randomly put on it.They already had a good multicam vegetato based pattern don't know why this exists.
Thoughts about Baofeng radios?
>>64681501Yeah. The average age of a ham is mid-60s and they are making a quarter assed effort at recruiting new blood.
Garbage. Get an XTS5000
>>64681534Ailunce HD2 my bro
>>64681085I second the DM-32UV. It's a bit better than the UV-32, and the airband reception isn't fucked.You can switch between analog/digital with a single button (programmable). 8W~ max. output on high, good battery life. Battery can be charged via dock or directly via USB-C cable. The port is built-into the battery, so if you destroy it you can replace it.Supports crypto on digital, you can set your own AES256 key when programming channels. GPS is built-in, but you need a second device (or buddy) to reference coordinates.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnp597Xv8Yc
>>64681525>quarter assed effort at recruiting new blood.Gen X make a negative effort at everything.
