Is Russia a nuclear state?
>>64598321Propaganda anon, the soviet Union survived 70 years thanks to propaganda.
>>64598204I'm guessing 90% of their nuclear capability is inoperable, including the large multi-megaton warheads they used to had. They probably have only enough to nuke a few cities, assuming everything works. A smart leader would make sure the nukes would be in tip top shape even at the expense of everything else, top priority. But this is Russia, the empire of the absurd, so who knowsalso pic related is an interesting book on the absurdity of russia/the soviet union. its available free from the authors website.
>>64624612>also pic related is an interesting book on the absurdity of russia/the soviet union. its available free from the authors website.>Author is EstonianSounds tasty from the few parts I skimmed, thanks anon.

Could plastic garbage from the ocean be used for 3D printers for printing guns like FGC-9?
>>64625638
>>64624726no because the effort of grinding up and extruding a bunch of plastic trash isn't worth the result of a roll of mystery meat filament that probably has substandard QC.
>>64625657sign me up
>>64624726>couldyes>shouldnowhy trawl a garbage patch when fresh nylon is better and can be very effectively used on a printer? why not use biodegradable corn polymer like PLA+? why not use already commonly recycled ABS/ASA?the garbage patch needs to be dealt with, somehow. it's all basically carbon and a little bit of other shit, so we know it can hypothetically be metabolized by organisms. just gotta make it happen and make huge-ass Algae Tankers to eat it up to make biodiesel
>>64625677you wouldn't do it this way. you would have it sorted like it already is and turned back into raw material. mystery meat bullshit is useless to everyone so we don't make that
is there a real world equivalent of combat drugs similar to tarkov injectors other than pervitin?
>>64624542Former recreational enjoyer of "trucker pills" here from back in the day when you could still legally get the good shit. You FEEL like you have the focus and strength to do anything, but past a very quickly reached point you're just an amped up maniac and absolutely useless. Trying to do just regular PT while pilled to the gills starts off feeling like you can do a thousand push-ups and ends curled up in a ball, dry-heaving, covered in a cold sweat, unable to hear anything but the blood pumping through your ears while your heart bangs away like the bass drum pedal of a thrash metal band. And the mental focus? An illusion. I used to take pills to keep awake driving hours across country, racing back to post from a weekend pass, routinely forcing myself to slow back down to sub-felony speeds and telling myself the monsters darting across the highway weren't real, and realizing the screams were actually just me.Derive the combat effectiveness of such a state on your own.
>>64624542Not really. Some of the chems are real, like Perfotoran was a real soviet blood replacer, and Norepinephrine is a real drug for raising blood pressure; but they dont really do what they're depicted as doing; like L1 would make you tired as fuck from hypertension instead of boosting your strength. While I'm not aware of a specific equivalent to Zagustin, liquid coagulants are absolutely a thing. That drug that makes you invisible to thermals would cause immediate hypothermia and a quick death. But in terms of shit that makes you stronger and faster in combat, a la MULE and SJ6, thats just anabolic steroids but unlike ingame they take weeks to have an effect, you cant just shoot up in the bathroom and then immediately carry your body weight.
>>64624542Old Readers Digest Magazine got a lot of shit after posting the true first hand story of an anonymous F-111B Captain that pasted Kadaghfi's camp. He said when the adrenaline of the strike wore off he went that was no way he could fly all the way back to England. Then he drank the "cocktail" the Flight Surgeon had given him perked right up and cruised on back home like it wasn't shit.
>>64625224If true, congrats. Seriously.I feel like I could do the same thing desu. I might be overestimating my abilities by several magnitudes, but if you got some coke up my nose, I’d totally thug it out with a pack of niggers, and my steel resolve and fearlessness might actually make a difference. it’s been over a decade since I did any, but man did it make me feel bulletproof. I wonder if coke wouldn’t also be useful in combat to keep the fear of death from paralyzing you.
>>64625532>Perfotoran was a real soviet blood replacer,it is still real and is sold in the US as vidaphor. yes, i just googled this, but it's cool enough that i want to post about it>basically perflourocarbons and saline>moves through the lungs, dissolves oxygen>serves as synthetic plasma>administered 36,000+ times and has "comparatively mild and manageable" side effects to, idk, bleeding the fuck outit's obviously not an auto-injector thing though. it's stored frozen and administered intravenously, over about a half hour depending on how much you need.i just think it's super fuckin cool that we have a synthetic product that works somewhere between blood and plasma. i mean, obviously it doesn't work the same as blood, but it's way better bulk than just saline.

How do you defend your house from drones? How effective would a Faraday cage built around the house be?

>>64624696Interesting. Is that the magpul one? If so, I'm not sure if you know but is that 3.15 inches? I think I grossly overshot with my last estimate. I think a three inch one would do, really just enough for me to have a mounting point from the last mlok slot to the edge of my handguard. >>64624997I'll look into that as well, thank you both.
>>64625407Yep its the magpul one.

Literally the only appeal of the GROT is that it can be turned into a bullpup in a minute.
>>64625026It would be a more interesting feature with a serialized fcg.
>>64623467They are reportedly explodey, heavy, and have reliability issues (Ukrainian source). If you want a eurocuck AR-18 derivative gun why not get a CZ Bren 2, FN SCAR-L, Tommybuilt G36 or similar clone?
I'm holding out for a Bren 3
>>64625026The bullpup version is so shit they had to force it onto their National Guard and those guys still hate itI get the interest in novelty but from a commercial point of view it doesn't make that much sense

Boys and Girls, let's celebrate not well known explosives-is-the-answer-to-all-problems event that happened 55 years and one month ago, named The Exploding Whale.One dead whale, one platoon of bored army engineers.. What could go wrong?https://davebarry.substack.com/p/the-exploding-whalehttps://youtu.be/V6CLumsir34
>>64619771I imagine whichever geniuses came up with the idea justified it with all sorts of cost-benefit BS while secretly keeping the thought hidden in the back of their mind that their real motivation for it would be that it's funny.>George Thornton, the engineer in charge of the operation, told an interviewer that he was not sure how much dynamite would be needed, saying that he had been chosen to remove the whale because his supervisor had gone hunting. A charge of one-half short ton (450 kg) of dynamite was selected.[7][8] A military veteran with explosives training who happened to be in the area warned that the planned twenty cases of dynamite was far too much, and that 20 sticks (8.4 lb or 3.8 kg)[9] would have sufficed, but his advice went unheeded.>Later that day, Thornton told the Eugene Register-Guard, "It went just exactly right. [...] Except the blast funneled a hole in the sand under the whale" and that some of the whale chunks were subsequently blown back toward the onlookers and their cars.>Thornton was promoted to the Medford office several months after the incident, and served in that post until his retirement. When Linnman contacted him in the mid-1990s, the newsman said Thornton felt the operation had been an overall success and had been converted into a public-relations disaster by hostile media reports.Some other amusing highlights are pic related, they named a park after the event, and this little anecdote:>Days before the blast, a local explosive expert had purchased a new automobile in a "Get a Whale of a Deal" promotion. It was damaged by a chunk of falling blubber.
>>64619451>these retards unironically thought stuffing half-a-ton of high explosives next to a dead whale was preferable to just cutting it up and towing the remains out to sea to be devoured by sharks>>64619496>Sure, every shark within 100 nautical miles will immediately B line to your beachThe sound generated by explosives would actually scare them away. There's a reason why basically every account of shipwreck survivors being killed by sharks has the attacks starting only hours after the ship has already gone down.>>64620894>A military veteran with explosives training who happened to be in the area warned that the planned twenty cases of dynamite was far too much, and that 20 sticks (8.4 lb or 3.8 kg)[9] would have sufficed, but his advice went unheeded.bruh
>>64622174>these retards unironically thoughtI'm absolutely sure, they did this for the lulz. How after you have a chance to pull such idea through?I'm also sure, they knew amount of explosives are overkill, but boys will be boys, right.
>>64622174>every account of shipwreck survivors being killed by sharks has the attacks starting only hours after the ship has already gone downI've watched a lot of Blue Planet; it's because sharks sort of spread out and stake out patches of ocean, and only school up together when they smell a large concentration of prey, which they can do from miles away. then they come from miles around.

Is the pickelhaube the most iconic piece of equipment from WWI?
>>64624676I don't know what weird form of validation faggots like that are looking for. Sort of like how we have two fucking threads about hammers as personal defense. Schizo anons want to turn the whole fucking board into their personal soapbox
>>64624676You're noticing AI-generated threads, some even recycle the file and text exactly. They've become several times more common in the last four years and few users notice because this board is inundated with retarded newfags who haven't been here long enough to notice the pattern. Just report them and move on.
>>64624924>Just report them and move on.Not a single thread I've reported has ever been taken down. Yet at least half the threads on this board at any given time actually belong on /pol/. I love geopolitics, but geopolitics is NOT /k/
>>64624621Whole lot of new technology and industrial process, things like aircraft and british tanks basically turned victorian era reality out on its ear about how wars would be fought for the next century.I think the most impactful for the whole war might be the industrial era of artillery pieces and ammo production at least on the western front

This hobby did fall off a cliff around COVID... right?I cannot be the only one that thinks this. It just feels... worse. Or did I just get older? I don't know anymore.
>>64625091My romantic life is identical to how it was in 2010 (nothing) and everything inbetween, and I can say everything is indeed shittier so we can disregard the bear pussy market as the direct cause of this phenomenon of late modernity.
>>64620934Correct. Covid, ie. the democrats, ie. you know who, made everything worse then.
>>64620934It's the troons who took over this board and spammed it with Ukraine bullshit. They'll still ban people just for saying this.
>>64620954yes, the world changed just like it changed after 9.11
>>64625447That was just the US and the countries we fucked up, burgerbro. No one else cared. COVID was a testbed for nwo shit.

>>64606007That is awesome and I appreciate it. I also understand that I live in timbuktoo and appreciate anything shipped my way. Amazon/Walmart/flat rate is usually the best but it certainly puts a damper on the nice handmade touches that I see a lot of you all have. Merry Christmas man. I appreciate you! PS it's -14 here currently. Can I come live with you?
