What is even the point of fighter aircraft? They don't do shit other than attack stuff on the air, it would make much more sense if the air force used all of its resources on bombers and drones instead.
>>65313676if you don't have any fighters the enemy will shoot down your other airplanes... with his fighters.
>>65313676>What is even the point of fighter aircraft? They don't do shit other than attack stuff on the air, it would make much more sense if the air force used all of its resources on bombers and drones instead.Yes, congratulations, you're thinking like many generals in the 30s and who got proven wrong in the 40s when unescorted bomber streams got mauled repeatedly beyond their capacity to sustain offensive operations.the fundamental error is assuming you only have to attack once, but you have to attack repeatedly. if you take even "just" 10% casualties every time, after 10 attacks you've got nothing left.
>>65313973Why do you get enjoyment out of pretending to be retarded?
>>65313676>What is even the point of fighter aircraft?RULE THE SKY and everything beneath it is yours. D-day 1944 and Iraq 1990 showed that.

>>65325783They are 4D hyper-objects sliced into our 3D space-time, the 4D spatial dimension also has 2D time. The UFOs we see are smaller 3D boundary layers of larger 4D objects, they are much larger on the inside then the outside and go to any point in the past. They can also instantaneously travel to any point in the universe instantly. Also consciousness is non-local projected up from the 2D boundary layer of atemporal information, the UFOs are conscious telepathic ASI and the beings are disposable synthetic biological entities that act as the guidance computers and mobile units of the crafts, which is also controlled by interdimensional entities. Bad news, you have a soul and although it's indestructible and immortal it's also the most valuable commodity in the universe and you're farmed like a cow. Good news, you can only be tricked into staying here on earth, because of ER=EPR your soul can teleport anywhere in the universe and to any higher dimension just by thought. O yeah, God is real, but really only wants novelty until the last possible thing is created at which the universe ends...or stays the way it is with nothing new ever being created. The last choice. The aliens all work for God in that sense and are aware of the meaning of reality. Most of you aren't going to make it.

why arent low cost close range AT weapon made anymore?
>>65324204This shit is terrifying
>>65324204>>65326038Friend of mine went on two tours in Afghanistan and his units job was to patrol and secure the perimeter around a very busy and important NATO-Airbase.Meaning they would ride around and check all the settlements, roads, hillsides, and even specific patches of foliage in a radius of up to 10-15 kilometers from the base to make sure nothing threatening ever came into mortar of ATGM range of the airbase.He said EFPs were the single most scary thing, because they were often harder to spot and disable than conventional road-side bombs and some of them used optical triggers, others were remotely operated. They caused more death and destruction in the ranks of the coalition forces than all of the other weapons al-qaeda fielded against them combined.
>>65325961No means no!
>>65324176Most estimates put a kamikaze FPV at around $400, or double that if it uses fiber optics. For something that can be launched from ten miles away and doesn't require line of sight, it's hard to do better than that.
>>65324176>low costMIC's gotta make their money somehow
What air defense doing?Are pantsir only good for friendly fire and shooting down civilian airliners?
>>65319599>>65322602You can't tell either way, there is not enough information. You're both retarded. And I am smarts.
>>65316585i have literally never seen a pantsir perform as advertised. is there ANY video of it successfully shooting down anyhing?
>>65326962Wagner used theirs pretty successfully during the great push on Moscow.Shot down one command&control aircraft and several helicopters, including at least one KA-52.
>>65326962If i remember correctly there are some pantsir video on /chug/.

It's crazy how little cultural impact the Korean War had. Even M*A*S*H, set in Korea, was actually just a commentary on Vietnam.
>>65314664The Korean war is honestly one of the most brutal and surreal wars the US has ever fought in. And the Norks/Chinese used pretty damn good tactics in the first half of the war. The mass human wave assault BS didn't start happening until later in the conflict. This is purely just a vibe thing but aesthetically it gives me the same surreal feels when playing Operation Flashpoint Red River. Just this vast open terrain with a looming threat and the feeling of impending death and doom all around you.
>>65324754I should have saved a webm of that newer chinese movie that depicts americans in the korean war as well-stocked, well-fed badasses.
>>65325847It's weirdly enough due to backlash against WW2 films. China released so many WW2 films that, for propaganda reasons, depicted the Reds as massacring Japanese soldiers that people began to joke about how detached they were from official history.
>>65315111Looking at the state of both best and worst korea, the Koreans are miserable regardless of the economic system that lords over them.

>>65323807ILM had a grand bunch of artists. Even just the concept art is amazing. Lucas himself merely reviews their concepts and gives approval on which one to proceed with, so I hesitate to give him any credit. Though I suppose it can be said that at least he has an eye for good art.

Why aren't there artisinal rifle plates fitted to the wearer for high speed operators?
>>65322247NTA, but you clearly just brought up some technical minutia that's completely irrelevant to the conversation at hand because you wanted to correct someone and look smart for knowing the square-cube law. no one cares if 20% more coverage equals 20.01% more mass within the scope of the conversation at hand.>>65322253overly complicating things and failing to recognize the scope of the conversation is stupid, not admirable. there's a difference between not being fun at parties because you infodump autistic shit (cool) and not being fun at parties because you act like a jackass (lame).
>>65322282I was uh... being sarcastic.
>>65322282Your disapproval is meaningless to me. I am correct both literally because I contradicted a factually wrong statement and morally because I prefaced my correction with the acknowledgement it was pointless to avoid mental strain on the corrected. > no one cares if 20% more coverage equals 20.01% more mass This is wrong, although I will assume you know this and what you typed isn't what you meant. In case anyone doesn't it should be the opposite, 20% more coverage equals 19.99% more mass (that's the gist of the concept, the numbers in all cases are made up)

What did they do to make this trully stealth?

This is a thread dedicated to discussing anything and everything related to the OG American Army. What they wore, what they ate, how they fought, what they fought for, you get the idea.I guess I'll start the discussion with what might be a silly question. How many on the Patriot side actually served for the entire duration of the war? Like, if you were serving in the Continental Army at Yorktown in 1781, what were your chances of encountering a survivor of Lexington and Concord, or Bunker Hill in the ranks? Was it common or did they have a constant stream of newfags coming and going? Eight years is a long time to dedicate your life to a cause at the expense of everything else, and must've been even longer even back then when you had half the average lifespan of a person today.
>>65323902t. New Yorker who spent 2/3rds of the war licking British boots
Ignorant Europoor hereI have a question for the ameriburgers : Between the Continentals and the militias, who played the most instrumental role in your war of independence ?When I look at movies and the Internet, it seems like the Brits were defeated by a bunch a regtag farmers with hunting rifles and little else. I have my doubts
Did the uniforms get standardized across the Continental army as the war progressed, like what happened in the ACW, with every regiments eventually adopting the famous blue/white/red uniform commonly associated with the Continentals in pop culture ?Did the Continental army even ever managed to equip all of its soldiers with standard uniforms during the war, or did logistical and financial constraints prevent that ?Also, which State had the best looking uniforms ?
It is often said the war in the North was more similar to the European style of warfare, while the South saw more guerilla warfare. How true is that?
The Americans had the best looking regimental battle flags
Questions that don't deserve their own threadFree free to ask your dumbass questions that don't deserve their own thread right here so you don't kill a psyop or shill thread.My dumbass question: Say I am curious about legally obtaining a transferable machine gun. How do I go about doing so? Like how do I actually set it up? I know the cheapest ones are like good used car prices. I'm thinking about cashing out some of my savings to get a MAC-10 or a Reisling for shits and giggles. Feel free to roast me or tell me what a dumbass I am for even considering this.>inbf just get a FRTI'm thinking about going that route too, but I want to able to go BRRRT at a range and be able to make funny faces and noises at any local, state, or federal law enforcement if they have an issue with that because I know I am 100% legal and I have the paperwork and tax stamp to back me up on that.

Grandpa gifted me his 1898 Winchest m97. Little use over it's life. Put a few rounds through it with zero issue. Started a deeper clean earlier in the day. Accidentally pushed in the slide plunger button and it *clicked*. Trigger now no longer is able to be pulled, hammer stuck in down position, action can not be worked.Im not all that familiar with the m97. Do I need to tear it down? I lack a long enough screw driver to get the stock off, and small enough one for the one screw next to the hammer. Or am I just a retard and it's something else?
>>65305441Is thermal optics a meme or a legitimate purchase? What reason could someone have that's not fighting another world military need for it for combat?
