How many uniforms did other militaries donated to Ukraine? I know the U.S. donated OCP stuff from their own stockpiles. How does Ukrainians using American/western uniforms make you feel? They even use obscure camos like digital tiger and flektarn.
>>62148046Basically everyone has either multicam or MM14 now. Ukraine is well past the "wear whatever the fuck we can find" stage of the war>>62148216Yellow armband + camo uniform sticks out significantly less than non camo uniform and no armbandArmbands don't fuck with camouflage effectiveness IRL, hence why every single swinging dick in Ukraine today still wears camouflage>>62149992>American SOF "advisors">this nigga thinks American SOF are doing shit in Ukraine outside of escorting politicians in Kyiv for meetings>pic is just dudes wearing uniforms you can buy on the internet or at any tactical store in Kyiv/Lviv>>62151167Reddit completely shattered your mind anon

>>62152104Defense Mechanisms recently came out with their APOC carrier that allows you to run BALCS armor with ceramic plates. Cummerbund is structural. Might be worth looking into.
>>62152104>>62153111Actually, scratch that. The cummerbund is just a slightly larger version of their hybrid cummerbund, not their structural one.>>62152428Do you like that WTF placard? I have one on my chest rig and like it a lot. I do kind of wish they used shock cord for retention because it's easy to replace if it gets worn out, but the elastic on mine hasn't gotten worn out at all, so maybe it's a non-issue.
>>621499751. Great CCW: glock 19 or 45 with tti springs and a stipple job, holosun/trijicon red dot, good holster (txc), great, low profile belt (blue alpha), alias mount and neo mag spare mag holder, weapon light (surefire NONturbo) for around the house.1.b. finish out ccw stuff: handheld light, tq (I use snakestaff's little tq on a keyring), fixed blade knife.2. ar15: best bang for your buck is an in spec forged lower that you piece together and a Brownell's stripped DD mk18 upper or m4a1 upper. gucci it out or keep it simple, doesn't matter. don't skimp out on an optic, aimpoint t2, acog, or good lpvo. 3. overt belt: aws and burn the frayed strings off of it. safariland 6360rds. a few kywi pistol pouches and a rifle pouch. maybe a pouch for a gerber mp600.get ready to spend a shit ton of money.4 cheaper option. chest rig with 3 mag placard with another mag pouch or double mag pouch off of your support side. crye airlite isn't overly expensive compared to other hype beast products and is super comfy.or4 expensive option: crye jpc 2 or spc depending on if you want to spend a lot of money or a whole lot of money to carry more weight. same 3 mag placard with a mag pouch on support side. plates should be ltc 26605's or 26300's from hoplite. 605's are reasonably priced but will automatically put 15 pounds on your carrier which leaves like 5 lbs to play with on a jpc after 5 loaded mags before things start getting rough.4b. IFAK on a fanny pack NOT A DANGLER. defense mechanisms has a really good solution for this.4c. actual gear. level 4, 5, and 6 layers (beyondclothing). good boots (scarpa is the way to go), merino wool socks and underewear. tactically approved gloves someone is shilling etc.5. better rifle, second rifle in 308 or 6.5.5.b opscore fast sf, expensive ear pro, elbit pvs 14s which will later be sold on tacswap and traded out for $14,000 dual tubes. thermal solution mounted to rifle. if you have friends, comms.

>>62152077UNITA got south african support and training for majority of its existence. It did fuck Angola up, but it burned out as the years went on. If it wasn't for south african pmcs they probably would had a good chance to cripple Angola. So they're a 7/10 in the trolling scale.

>>62143374>>62152117>>62152906>Why the Genshin Impact image? What am I looking atThat's the thing that really grinds my gears and hurts my brain cells whenever I see these types of Pro-Palestine posts and "artwork". And no, to this day I refuse to believe Hamas and the Palestinian people have good PR, let alone get Propaganda! Hamas and Palestine PR and propaganda is absolute top shelf Grade-A CRINGE! It is cringe, pathetic AND LAME! Why do I insist Hamas and Palestine PR and propaganda is so cringe and lame!?!?Look back at 2014, 2015, 2016, etc. when ISIS was all the rage in the jihads and Islamic terrorism sphere. IAM not saying ISIS propaganda is "good quality", but I find far more believable and even immersive compared to current day jihad Islamic propaganda, especially coming from Hamas and Pro-Palestinians. ISIS propaganda and PR was filled with bravado, grit, determinism and their own version of heroics and heroism. Combined with the fact they did take over and occupy territory and ground.WHAT THE FUCK DOES HAMAS AND PRO-PALESTINE PROPAGANDA AND PR HAVE!? Pallywood sob stories and fanfiction, AI slop images AND corny art work from leftwing White People from California, New York state and other Blue Democrat Places!? Like pic related and also popular characters holding and waving the Palestine Flag you can go lookup in Twitter and social media!? That's the best Hamas and Pro-Palestine people can muster!? Can't glorious leader Arafat and daddy Sinwar spend a bit more money to hire better Propagandists and PR teams!?Also! It is IRONIC that so many Pro-Palestine people are not only gullible White People. But are gullible young girls and women who're otaku and consumers and fans of anime, cartoons, music and video games making the corny Pro-Palestine art work I'm talking about. Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt artwork and music considered Haram and Heresy in Islam and Sharia Law? That's what boggles my mind.

But carriers need to be a part of a carrier group. What other ships they have to go with it, AEGIS type ones?
>>62152975You mean this stockpile? The one where half can't even reach their targets, and the other half get blown out of the sky by Arrow/SM-6?The only thing stopping America from wiping the floor with the Iranians is our mood. If the Israelis can disable an S-300 at the drop of a hat, you can imagine what the US can do.>NooooksI hope they do develop them. Just another reason to strangle them with sanctions.
>>62153041I mean you don't really need to be with a carrier group unless you're fighting shit that has something that can threaten it. Anything that would require a carrier group to defend it can deal with the carrier group anyway. This thing is for propaganda and for launching drones. Short of Israel doing something for a laugh, it will stay in port or do a few 'excursions' into the sea and launch drones for some pictures and then do nothing.

Trying to sell this TIG welder, AHP Alpha Tig 200x, local to Houston for $450. Got nothing but scammer pajeets from trying craigslist. You get the machine, 2 smaw whips, tig pedal, argon tank, auto darkening hood with spare lenses, tig cups, big fucking box of stainless TIG rods, small container of 6013 smaw sticks, 110v puck to convert the 220 cable coming out of it, some other shit I gotta gather up. Got no tig rig though, hose had been torn and leaked a lot of gas. Start welding G3 receiver flats eventually today!

What went so right? How did Brazil managed to be successful with them after the Engesa bankruptcy and the Brazilian defense industry getting really close to a collapse in the 90s?
>>62151694Full autism long answer to that: Bombardier sold its commercial airliner division to Mitsubishi, who promptly discontinued all its existing jets in order to go full retard with its next-gen SpaceJet project, which failed so hard that Mitsubishi quit the airliner industry entirely. This was made worse by most current Bombardier operators pre-ordering SpaceJets en masse to replace their aging Bombardiers, then getting left out to dry when big guy Mitsubishi crashed with no survivors (since they shut down the factories and laid/pensioned off all the workers except for the bare minimum for spare parts manufacture/refurbishment). Said airlines basically had two choices left: Airbus and Embraer, the last two reputable Western aircraft manufacturers still making airliners with the same passenger/range/size footprint as the old Bombardiers.
>>62148436>Europe stopped making regional passenger aircraft.As a europoor who flies domestic a lot its all A320neo all the time
>>62148205I"m not sure from a business standpoint, but the last time I flew I made sure it was Embraer and an Airbus. If it's Boeing, I ain't going.
>>62152448https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_airlinerAlthough its true Airbus has been oversize replacement as well.
>>62148452That's not an answer, any living aircraft manufacturer in 2024 is state-backed
lockmart made a new version of the most popular FLIR + laser targeting pod used by 4th gen fighters. the new version - Sniper Networked Targeting Pod - adds edge computing, MANET, and F35 datalink. so now 5th gen should be able to seamlessly interact with other aircraft and ground elements on one datalink. call in hypersonic airstrikes from the comfort of your foxhole. https://news.lockheedmartin.com/2024-07-23-sniper-networked-targeting-pod-to-link-f-35s-4th-generation-jets-and-missile-systems-for-unprecedented-deterrence
>>62150431>>62150448How can West still be scared of China/Russia when their military is some backwater mess compared to just a single US company in the MIC?
>>62151193The boomers and Gen X grew up on pic related, and when it imploded, they thought it there would be a new world order of forever-peace so China didn't matter.
>>62150454Both do. The stealthies operate their own proprietary datalinks and there have been a few rounds of kludge-transcoder-middleware concepts to provide bridging.At one point not too long ago, the middleware was literally a box carried by a U-2 that handled interactions between F-22's IFDL and F-35's MADL. At that time – and right up til the retirement announcement this year – the U-2 was the primary dev&testing platform for Open Mission Systems. It was the first craft to fly a full suite of OMS shit, and one of the arguments in favor of keeping it in service was to continue as a test platform.The U-2 team, in turn, had The Box (hydra OSG) talk to land and sea systems via multifarious other acronyms.What the sniper pod iteration represents is lockmart trying to consolidate the man-in-the-middle widgetry under a preexisting product line already in use by everyone who flies F-16 and F-35. Commoditizing the complement, in so many words.(Northrop leads Link 16 development, IBCS, and a bunch of other datalink shit. Physically colocating the hell-muxer onboard lockmart aircraft marginalizes northrop while ensuring they still do most of the real work.)I see no obvious reason why it won't work.

>>62147700v-280s are slated to be $43 mil per (with R&D costs & maintenance wrapped in to the initial buy), this is cheaper than a modern Apache
>>62151156The original tactic was to just rocket pod the shit out of the target area as you flew over said target area. Western and later Eastern countries resorted to distance pop up attacks specifically because of the rise of MANPAD's.
>>62152536Apples to oranges. The AH64 is loaded with way more sensors and weapons. If the base model V280 is already 43 million with none of that. Imagine how much a gunship version will cost.
>>62147534How does it yaw during forward flight? It has no vertical stabilisers.
