Iranian air defenses have successfully intercepted the second AGM-158 JASSM Cruise Missile in as many days, the first one was either intercepted yesterday or that's when the photos were released.

funny how you can talk about politics and current events just fine in this board... but only if you are pro-west or pro-war (you get banned otherwise), even though >>64246310 clearly states that>All discussion of politics and current events goes on /pol/. >>>/pol/
>>65044604did they really intercept them or just take pictures form munitions that failed and crashed and then say they intercepted them?

>>65049877What do you mean anon?I think this war is an unmitigated clusterfuck that's done more damage to the US than any enemy could ever hope to inflict.But I'm not being a fucking dumbass retweeting the first photo of what I'm told is a burnt out F-35 I see and parading it around like I'm the cleverest cunt to ever live, so it's fine.Don't pretend the issue is just being 'anti-war' or 'anti-west', it's being a fucking /pol/ poster about it.

How the fuck do you stop the Houthi? I'm sick of them camping out in the mountains and periodically crashing my portfolio. What weapons does it take?

What would a modern version look like?
I haven't seen one in a good while. I'm seriously thinking about buying an AUG soon so I'd like some advice. I know there's both 5.56 and .300 blackout variants to choose from and I'm leaning towards the .300 and just using supersonic ammunition. AUGs are notable for being poor suppressor hosts anyways, right? Plus, prices for supersonic .300 aren't that bad according to AmmoSeek when compared to 75/77gr 5.56 which I already buy. Plus if I ever change my mind about .300 I could just buy a 5.56 barrel.
>>65037838I saw the video, many keks. Of course you had to have Steyr USA people shoot it. They seemed very concerned.

>>65046300>(or I guess any other really long barrel gun)Yeah, bullpup is completely irrelevant here, as is:>like 20" or 24", is there risk of baffel strikes?Wat? If anything longer barrel length (within v gain) would (utterly negligibly) reduce the risk of baffle strikes since the bullet is moving faster when it exits the barrel. But it's effectively irrelevant no matter what. Baffle strikes (or rather can core strikes in general, since 3D printed cans don't have baffles) happen from manufacturing/assembly errors or improper seating. Like if you direct thread with no locker and forget to check tightness from time to time and let the can wander off the end. Doesn't matter if the barrel is 8" or 36" for either of those.

>>64998138This.It wouldn't have met parity, but given everything they (didn't) have to work with, it's an impressive achievement.>Country can't manufacture a metal wheel.>Tank, sans guns, can be built in backyard of average farmer with local materials and local skill level.>Impregnable to small arms fire. Requires AT to take it out.Don't get me wrong, there's a lot wrong with it. It's taller than a Maus, slower than one too. It can't turn while moving. It gets penetrated by any AT grade munitions. It never got a proper cannon. But it's a genuinely cool bit of history, and for what Semple himself was working with, it's a damn impressive achievement.

Is there anything cool blueprint/prototype wise that Bofors plant ever did with actual vehicles? I know their concept guns like the 120mm automatic anti bomber flak gun is pure sex.
Anyone wanna make a new thread?
>It's upthe eyetalians haven't invented the screw yet, but they somehow made a gun without inventing screwshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y13tD1uYW7Yvery accurate, dropped once, never fired comes with a brown racoon girl

>doesn't use screws>watch video>see the barrel, threaded>its a screw
>>65047676basically instead of having an action that's bolted to the stock both the barrel and the action are just hanging in space and the only part where it touches the stock is the clamp at the base of the barrel, which also acts like a heat sink which uses the entire chassis into a radiator.
>>65046613Pretty neat, and surprisingly pretty darn reasonably priced too given the market. I mean, obviously ~$4500 isn't cheap per se, but comparing to ultra high end Ko2M sorts of guns like what you might get from AI or the like, that's actually lower then a lot of them despite being a brand new thing doing some neat stuff and not mass manufactured at all.
>>65048643I have that model, set up in a similar manner. Buy it.
>>65048643I have a SP9A1 myself. It's a fun little temu SCAR15P looking PCC and will occasionally garner "owo what gun is that?" questions at the range. IDK if the MP5-wannabe roller shit in A3s is really all that worth it but YMMVif you get a bog just be sure to get the US-made magazines from GP USA, cause the ones that come with it are kind of ass

This probably has been asked a lot, but are bolters realistic? And if they could exist, would they be as good at penetrating armor as the tabletop game suggests?

>>65028560>but are bolters realistic?All of the principles behind them are sound but the design of a Godwyn pattern is pretty silly.The tabletop suggests they're good at piercing man portable protection up to light carapace, which is a ceramite/armorplas combination, the space magic version of ceramic/uhmwpe. They're diamantine tipped which again is space magic, but probably means they're a barrier blind round similar to M855A1. But remember these are anywhere from .6 to .75 cal rockets. >>65028616They're AP nil in rending, AP4 in 7e and before style AP. Which means they beat everything that's not power armor.
>>65049668>>65028888Ah my bad I was misremembering, they're AP5. Which means they pierce basically the flak armor that a standard guardsman has but not much more.

>>65049575Of course not, we just outright delete them for having wrong opinions.
You are the Minister of Defense of a newly independent Namibia with a larger and more urbanized population of approximately 1.5million. To your South, across the Orange River is of course, South Africa: your former overlords who you are not particularly fond of. To your north is Angola whose situation is looking iffy. After a crash program to get guys with any gun and wearing the same hat on the border over the course of about a 6 months. The SADF has, of course, taken most of the heavy weapons.How do you equip your force on a small budget to deter the SADF now with the foresight that things are going to go south in the Lusophone world to your North in the next few decades? Keep in mind that the Skeleton Coast is something of a navigational nightmare and Walvis Bay is your only real deep water port. You realistically have a lot of options to get arms, since South Africa is not well liked even at this time.
>>65042959I was thinking of something similar but with rifle grenades. I imagine if you dick sucked hard enough Germany or Spain would be willing to sell you G3's or Cetme C's along with a shitload of rifle grenades to go with them. You could just give every rifleman like 5-8 rifle grenades and have the "grenadier" carrying like 20 more on his back instead of carrying half of a 2 inch mortar around.You could still have recoilless rifles and 120mm mortars at the battalion level but rifle grenades could let your squads be more maneuverable while still having a comparable amount of firepower.
>>65047508>tank battalion>division levelNamibia had less than a million people in 1970. Even if we double that, you aren't fielding divisions. You are fielding regiments at best, and reinforced battalion combat groups more likely.
>>65042900The boring option would be to invest in defensive capabilities, while also maximizing diplomatic outreach to the world and closing your borders with Angola, establishing yourself as a capable buffer between the african communists and South Africa, and thus a better neighbor, and end up like Botswana. Then invest in infrastructure and education to uplift your people. This however is not mugabemaxxing.Let me explain Mugabemaxxing >Step 1 get as many small arms as possible for people's warfare, old bolt actions and not much more, give this to large politically organized militias with little training>Step 2 created on elite division with actual training and modern guns, and possibly even trucks. Then get the norks to do whatever they did in Zimbabwe do that you have politically loyal cadres>Step 3 land reform, you have to make this Zimbabwe tier on purpose, because if you kick out the white farmers and don't have a famine other people will start having influence and this is bad. Ideally you should face pockets of resistance that you can use as a pretext for your politically loyal division to kill all the opposition especially other leftists >Step 4 beg for aid due to famine to the Soviet bloc. Make sure you distribute aid to the loyal only, and make political loyalty the only factor between life and death by starvation. Blame the colonial powers for causing a famine and cry as often and as loud as possible.>Step 5 allow the eastern bloc to pressure to let the cubans use you as a staging ground. >Step 6 embezzle all the infrastructure money leading to the north, and let the border be extremely porous for glowies so that UNITA doesn't lose when they start fighting the MPLA. You want this war going as long as possible (1/2)
>>65049819>Step 7 it is very important you let the south Africans raid your territory, and strike cuban logistical hubs. Bonus if you can ensure civilian splash damage. Embezzling from healthcare is a win win here because more civvies die and you get more spending money at the same time.>Step 8 cry victim to your civilians to make sure they fear the return of whites and your mass militias are willing to fight attrition warfare if invaded. Offer them no training and keep the guns locked away unless they're being sent in a meat of course. But the key is having a massive deterrent for direct invasion.>Step 9 make sure you never credibly threaten South African stability or allow others to do so from your territory. You need a threat to the south.>Step 10 slowly fix the economy, making sure the state, or loyal cronies control the critical sectors. Haggle for as much aid as possible of course, make sure as much money as possible is conditial on allowing the Cubans into angola from your turf.>Step 11 enjoy your four to five decades of rulership, embezzle to tasteSouth africa will always be unwilling to fight literally hundreds of thousands of screaming peasants with gun, because they can't afford to fight attritional warfare like that, because they always need manpower at home to stop revolts. But since you've killed a lot of white farmers they will always be permanently hostile and each of their limited excursions will bolster your legitimacy. Meanwhile you're also preferable to anyone else for the South Africans because by eliminating all rivals you've made sure the state end with you which would be worse as you are limiting attacking into their territory and anarchy would open flood gates. The Cubans and soviets have to prop you up with aid because otherwise they lose a critical regional player. You can embezzle as much as you want too! Which is a major upside Comment too long.

How feasible would it be to use a nuke on Iran's underground missile silos, and uranium enrichment sites? This idea has been proposed in the past for targeting the underground sites buried more than 1,000 ft deep.
>>65049764Not true, US used one on toropets
>>65049703No dude, the geopolitical implications of a nuclear attack on a 3rd world country would be tremendous. You'd instantly alienate the entire world.
