Let me guess, you think your airforce needs more expensive higher performance aircraft.
You could get 5 of these fucks and arm them for the price of an empty KR-67.

There used to be a hard radar floor of 20m below which radar would only sporadically detect you so any radar guided missile was useless. Now there is instead some simulation the details of which I don't know but there is no longer any hard cutoff where you're 100% safe. Effectively this means that being very low only reduces detection range somewhat.

A problem with Nuclear Option is that stealth is almost useless because of the low ranges and wide radar coverage. A radome Medusa can detect the stealthiest craft in the game at 40 km which is the majority of the default map. The second map makes them more usable.

Now that the Chink chimpout over the $11B Taiwan weapons deal and most recent numbers print from their imploding economy has wrapped up, I want to tally some numbers for the 'explicitly presented as the largest-ever military exercise around Taiwan'.
This exercise was also explicitly stated as a blockade exercise vs the strike exercises of 2024.
Taiwanese sources have reported that
>6:00 a.m. Dec 29 - 6:00 a.m. Dec 30, 130 PLA aircraft detected. 14 PLAN warships + 14 CCG vessels.
>6:00 a.m. Dec 30 – 6:00 a.m. Dec 31 Aircraft: 77 PLA aircraft detected. 17 PLAN warships + 8 CCG vessels.
What's so damming to me is that the area of operations for the exercises were 2x larger than that of the 2024, and 3x that of the 2022 Pelosi chimpout. Yet there were less aircraft than in 2024, 130 in a single day vs 150 in a single day. The sorties also started slow, taking till the mid afternoon to get to peak detection rates as per Taiwan MOD. So this is where I really get to the main bit. A blockade requires substantially more sorties, I'm talking 48 sorties just to get 8 planes on CAP for 24h. Yet the PLA did only 130 in a day, barely enough for a dozen planes to be on 24h CAP. There's just no excuse. You NEED to have CAP or else US and Jap planes can just sneak in and rape you. The second day is so pathetically bad with 77 aircraft so I don't even wanna talk about it, just assume it's 2x worse.

So you've got what is
>supposed to be the biggest exercise ever
>covering an area 2x bigger than previous ones
>supposedly have 1600 aircraft stationed east of Beijing
>yet can only muster up 130 sorties 6 hours later
Implessive. My theory is that the PLA airforce not only has a low readiness, but the logistics are so fucked that they actually can't turn around airplanes fast enough with things as basic as fuel.

Fuckin’ rape that camel jocky girls!
On an autistic side note anyone else notice that most of the female IDF members in Gaza are carrying these Frankenstein-M4s? They’re not true M4A1s, they’re like a mismatch of those cut-down IDF M16A1 13” pencil profile barrels with an M4 flatop receiver. I swear every picture I’ve seen of these broads in this war they’re all carrying these. Is the 14.5” government profile barrel really that much heavier? Can the heckin’ strong whamens not handle an extra inch of barrel?

Everyone loves unobtainium. Stamp collectors, currency collectors, Jay Leno, 3rd Reich, museums, your mom, etc.
Things can be practically worthless but have immense value. There are one cent pennies that are worth over $100k. There are civil war revolvers worth over $200k.

Funko pops are hardly unobtainium, and are purely a commercial consoomer item marketed as a collectable, rather than becoming a collectable item naturally.

Weren't most of them actually issued to Seabee bulldozer drivers, because they were having trouble with Japanese infiltrators jumping onto their dozers and stabbing them before they could grab any other kind of weapon? Instead of getting stabbed before you can unholster your .45 you can just punch-shoot the fucker in the face right away.

Because the wait time is too long and we needed to offload our A400s. They also got a shitload of orders all of a sudden back to back (turkmenistan, greece, austria, nigeria).

My great grandfather was a decorated officer in the US Airforce during the Korean War. My great uncle has a display case with his medals, and his service rifle, which is a select fire M2 Carbine. I haven't inspected it closely, so idk if it's functional or demilitarized. If it is functional idk if it registered or transferable.

Has anyone heard of a scenario like this before? I can't find any examples online of an officer being given an M2 when they retired. I'm also certain that it is an M2, not an M1 Carbine.

My great uncle plans to give me his guns, including that one at some point in the near future. Obviously I hope it's transferable, but I think that could only be the case if it was registered when he retired. I doubt that he submitted any paperwork for it later in his life, and I know that my great uncle never did.

Any thoughts or advice?

She used to be really cool before college. I first learned of the slur “Shaniqua” from her. Then BLM and 2020 happened and she started lecturing my brother and I on our use of the word “nigger”. Not her fault. Was she supposed to stand alone against the mob in 2020 or conform to their politics for her own safety? She was in another state, on her own, on a college campus, surrounded by leftists. It’s obvious what happened. She probably thinks her politics were her idea.

She practices law now in (~50% black) DC, so maybe exposure has changed her mind.

What's the minimum standard to train to if you are going to carry? I am not talking SOF, I am not talking some mercenary company standards.

Just something that a person can't do after 50 rounds, but 100% of people can do after 3-6 months. Think 2 plate bench / 3 plate deadlift.

I am guessing it's 2 rounds on target from rest or holster in x time. What's that x?

What's the best way to train for it?
