I'm aware that the DPRK support the Houthis and give them equipment to fuck with America but what if they decided to go all in? How would things be if 10 cargo ships filled to the brim with equipment such as planes and tanks landed in Al Hudaydah along with 15,000 spec ops accompanying them. Could North Korean weaponry cause a Houthi victory? I imagine the jets, even if they're shitty, would allow them to run roughshod over the other factions without outside (Saudi etc.) help and huge stockpiles of ballistic missiles stationed in Yemen would make foreign intervention riskier, no?
>>61489675>Do you think the West, the Saudis, and the Jews would let them actually fly those planes?No but it'd take time to muster forces and go after them. In the meantime the Houthis could make fake airfields, fake planes etc. to trick drones and use the planes while they still had them. The momentary advantage would be enough to get to Aden for sure and from there they'd have to just besiege or grind away in the city..
>>61475858>DPRK NavyThey have two fleets that can't support each other because they're incapable of sailing around the Korean peninsula.
>>61487284nkoreans being subcontracted by chinks for cheap animation work isn't really as big a thing as you think it is. the chinese don't give a fuck, they just hired some motherfuckers for a low low price. >a Chinese go-between was responsible for relaying information between production companies and the animators>none of the evidence gathered by 38 North suggests that any Western producers knew their projects were being subcontracted to North Korean animators. Comments written in Mandarin on the files point to these deals being made quite far downstream from them.
>>61475697You know if England landed 100,000 icmbs on the moon, it would have 100000 icbms on the moon.
>>61489901if they had they had that many icbms on the moon then england would have a bigger role on the international stage and become more geopolitically active imo

>>61484231 Now that you mention it there are a lot of women & older women showing up in Russian light-industry workshop exposés. In fact I think it's at least 50/50 men/women.
>>61488662Theres an interesting aspect to that matter. Women going to work in such fields is a product of a shitty situation in society.There was a study done, who found out that african countries are more egalitarian (because the are more women working manufacturing jobs, like welding, assembly and etc) than Norway, even though Norway has much more monetary and other kind of incentives for women to go into men dominated fields. The reason? Africans cant choose their job, they just work whatever they can. Same seems to be happening with russian women.

>>61474327I remember this story. At the time we (the adult commentators who’re interested in real world events) were skeptical because we felt that you couldn’t just start making these things without all the tooling up and running etc but apparently they were able to reactivate the facilities or kludge something together?
When do y'all finally decide to clean your guns, I usually wait until I get stoppages (I had two failures to extract across three range trips) I think this was around 2,500 rounds?
>>61483125>t. nogunz
>>61483064Pistols after every time I shoot. Rifles every 3-5 sessions.
>>61483064Every now and then. I don't really have set rules and I don't shoot that often, when I do it's usually a couple hundred rounds per trip, per gun. Eventually I just think "yeah it's been awhile I guess it's time"
>>61483064I own blackpowder as well, so whenever I get home with one from the range or innawoods and start the deepclean on my BP guns I also tidy up anything smokeless I took out with me. It's not like it's too much extra work. I've also bought and "repaired" several guns that had stopped feeding reliably because the owners refused to clean them. One of them was a .22 Marlin that had over an eighth of an inch of compacted carbon shoving the bolt out of the track on top of the receiver and another severe encrustation blocking the firing pin. My carry piece is steel-framed. So that gets stripped, inspected, and oiled at least once a week. I've had too many problems with salt encrustations and pinprick rust to let it go longer. I pop open the mags about once every six months to check for spring rust or fatigue and lube things up.
>>61487770Lapping compounds don't need to be harder than steel. Have you ever heard of a strop before? You know, a little piece of leather to finish the sharpening on a knife or razor? Have you ever wondered why you have to sharpen a knife even if you only use it for opening cardboard boxes?

they've killed so many commanders who were simply taking a drive downtown with high-precision strikes. also, hezbollah commanders aren't publicly known so finding them is a challenge in and of itself but it's not so obvious that they should be able to do this. at least no so many times>maybe it's through SIGINT. they're tracking these guys through whatever comms devices they're using maybe even cellphonesi higly doubt it. hezbollah aren't retards and know that the israelis have some of the best sigint in the world. so it's highly unlikely they're walking around with cellphones or other trackable comm device.>spies on the ground maybe. the mossad has boots on the groundmaybe. maybe there are traitors within lebanon.

>>61489233Simple 1) They have always had full control of all the mobile, radio and internet connection in and out of Gaza. 2) they are fine killing 50 civilians for one enemy officer. Sooner or later you get someone that fits the bill. 3) everyone more important than a random guy with an AK is a "commander" so plenty of target. So pretty much they can claim any random Abdullah they kill was commander even if the most power he had till a week before was commanding a local school janitorial association. 4) billions of dollars from US taxpayers help with managing the cost of running a big brother operation over the walled off ghetto known as Gaza. 5) full control (of closure) of access roads, ports and airports. 6) lots of starving people that could turn informants for a fistful of dollars.Comment too long.

>>61488108That’s just projection and you (should) know it. Ukrainian defensive strategy has been not-one-step-back dogged defense for the entire war. At no time have they willingly traded land for anything and have only retreated when the situation was untenable. Avdiivka was literally in the middle of collapsing before high command ordered a retreat. They’ve fought like hell for every inch.

Are the bigger ones like Buds, MidwayUSA, Brownells, Guns.com really any good? The only time I've ever bought a gun to ship to an FFL it was PSA, and it was a good experience. A new range just opened near me, and they're technically a gun store, and they do transfers for $15. I feel like I should take advantage of this to get the online deals I always hear about, but I'm not sure what are the best places.

Serious question, Everyone has been talking about how the Ukrainians have been short on artillery shells which is a problem that might be solved within the next few months as production slowly ramps up. However what I have noticed in recent video is that Ukrainian minefields appear much less dense than before. Also I noticed that most western countries agreed several years ago not to make landmines anymore, effectively banning themselves from making landmines and permanently shutting down all factories. This is in particular true for anything smaller than anti tank mines. So I am wondering 1) is Ukraine still well stocked with landmines and it's just having issues to deploy them as densely as before or they are running short? 2) which countries friendly to Ukraine still make landmines? (Anti personnel in particular) 3) is it hard to get a landmines factory up and running? Will the wester politicians which are very sensitive to the optics and country image even allow it? (Imagine decades from now images of kids with blown up feet and X country landmine blamed for it, as it always happens) 4) how the Ukrainians and the Russians have improved their tactics to deal with minefields? Did this war bring some improved tactics or new equipment?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Ukraine inherited a massive stockpile of land mines from the Soviet Union. They supposedly destroyed a massive amount of their anti personnel mines due to their signature on the Ottawa treaty. That being said, they have received land mines from the US, France, Estonia, Sweden and the UK. It’s unlikely these countries will continue to produce mines or set up factories due to the political implications; but many of them still have large stockpiles destined for destruction so offloading them to someone else is likely a safer move politically.
>>61488380Clearance also becomes an issue as both sides of the front are under constant watch, GPR can and has worked in the past but is difficult to implement if you have to worry about the FPV swarm.
>>61488380Do any of the countries you mentioned still make AP mines? I don't know if they even make at mines any longer.I think that the legal framework for making a landmine factory in the west is just blocking any possibility for manufacturing as of now.The laws would need changing.However I reckon it would be a great businesses opportunity exactly because the legal hurdles make competition artificially scarce.
Any new developments on Anti mines strategy?
A thread for the discussion of making and shooting your own hot loads.
>>61488336i have like 9k of these things, kek. you think actually lightly flattening them would improve reliability or reduce it by kind of pushing the compound around.
This weekends test rounds. 148 grain hardcast 38 special, starting at 3.8 grains of unique, going up to 5. Looking forward to seeing how they do. Got another 1k 148 grain hardcast bullets so…. Once I find one I like I plan on loading a bunch.Out of curiosity these are crimped on the cannelure and are all right at 1.478 oal. I might be able to lengthen them a bit before I run out of cannelure, would that make much of a difference or is it not something I need to really worry to much about. Couldn’t find exact load data for 148 grain hardcasts, so I used the data for 150 grain hardcasts of a similar profile and didn’t go to the max..
Is federal brass soft? Had an extractor rip the rim off the case instead of pulling it back. Case wasn't stuck at all, but I suppose heat and expansion could explain that.

Can it really take on the F-35 and F-22?
>>61484041>thousands of tanks since 2000Relevant to this. The Type 96 which was supposed to be China matching Russia actually has WW2 tier gun stabilization. They couldn't figure out how to independently stabilize the gun sight (Bog standard for modern tanks) let alone how to mechanically link the mirrors inside the sight (Korean war tier) So they literally stuck a mechanical bar to the entire gun sight so it pivots with the gun which means any significant movement of the gun can just smash the gunners face in. This is their most numerous tank they have.

What's the best brand of speedloaders for revolvers? I personally use HKS because of the price but they feel somewhat cheap and finicky to use
>>61482453Depends on what you want. If you're doing competitive stuff, speed comes before most other considerations, in which case you want moon clips. See jerry's video on technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByyEGkdQJF8
>>61482763>>61483976I too know of the nippon fold load of speed. It's nice. I own one.
>>61482730Just bought a pair of these for my 500 magnum and noticed the rounds are floppy with the lock engaged. Not the best construction, but they keep the rounds from falling out.Overpriced/10
>>61482453HKS have given me the best luck across all calibers and guns>>61482730Sadly the 5 star I got for my .32 SP101 is a bitch to release, looks pretty though Only happens when it's in the gun, rounds drop free otherwiseHappens to both the ruger SP101 and Smith Model 30, 32 longs and 32 H&R. Haven't taken the time to see why, just been using the HKS instead
>>61488638Safariland loaders work well, but they're really limited in variety. They don't make any loaders for .32 H&R, as an example.>>61489250My problem with the HKS loaders in .32 is that they get finicky with .327 Federal. Understandable, since they're not advertised for .327, but it is mildly annoying.
