>>65501750They could probably replicate the hardware, but that's not the hard part for something like this. The firmware/software is what takes years to develop and verify. Modern embedded MCUs/MPUs have very sophisticated readout protection and memory isolation peripherals, making it basically impossible to copy or reverse engineer their firmware.
>>65503001Difference is that the previous oil price shock was completely unavoidable, Russia was always going to invade and the market was going to react violently. The difference between that and the current ongoing retardation is that the US intentionally walked right into it by choice.
How would you fortify this position?
>>65492540Nuke Kiev
>>65496664So like five defensive lines, wait for rescue from the Potato Man through Suwalki. Mine the waters and make small attack boats to fight NATO. Nuke the Kaliningrad city when it's over run.
>>65492540backyard bomb
>>65496221>You can do a little better than that. Withdraw from Ukraine, and offer to return Koenigsburg to Poland. Use both as diplomatic leverage to regain access to having an economy and maybe try unfucking the lives of the average Russian citizen.Then you need to move away that half a million Russians that lives there(because nobody wants them in region) and move in new population in order not not make a shithole from it. Keep in mind that many parts of critical infrastructure is different than in rest of Europe.It's like with Norks everybody wants unification until they look at cost

Turkey vs Israel in low to medium intensity conflict over Syria. ( semi proxied current Syrian Govt. Vs Druzes+ any other pro israelis ) Who actually wins in a long grind?While Turkey has the bigger army, more tanks, more F-16s and they can crank out drones like crazy and absorb losses that would cripple most countries Israel has the better tech. F-35 stealth fighters, insane air defense, and a substsntial domestic arms industry. But here's the real question: attrition.Turkey has to drag supplies across half of Syria just to stay in the fight. Every convoy is a sitting duck. Israel can sit back and pick off logistics nodes with precision strikes, making Turkey bleed fuel and ammo.Drone war? Turkey has more. Israel has better jammers and shooters. Turkey might lose 3 for every 1 Israeli drone downed. That adds up fast.So who grinds who down?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>65501671>genuinely what the FUCK has happened to this boardIt isn't just this board. Take a look at who they let spam, troll and break rules with no consequences. Take a look at what off topic crap they allow and what on topic posts get removed. Look at how they let entire boards get trashed but move immediately to punish hate for reddit or hurting their feelings. As if they are desperately trying to be just like reddit mods and ignore the rules to just censor everything they don't like. And the biggest joke of all is the sticky about ALL current events and politics not belonging here. They refuse to follow their own rules.
>>65501699US currently lacks the resources to take over even half of Yemen by the statements made from the US military today. Not in great shape. The Saudis are pretty mad at the US for not helping them with the Houtis but the US has so few interceptors left that any naval operation risk resulting in ships being hit as the Yemen straigt is extremely narrow, far smaller than Hormuz making hitting any vessel going through it so much easier. So i don't see the US trying anything too serious against anything that is bigger than Panama for the near future.

Fletcher guns, what are they? Beyond the gun from dinosaur hunter
>>65499796Essentially it’d be a dense square frustum packed to the gills with powder. A bit videogamey but I can’t think of any practical use case for a sqround.>>65500243I’m assuming they mean needle guns or guns that fire groups of flechettes.

In a topic that I'm sure will be of no interest to anyone I want to talk about the Lorraine 37L and it's weird variants.The French military had (quite reasonably) came to the conclusion that in a future war tanks would need supply across stretches of terrain that trucks could not cross and in closer contact with the enemy than unarmored vehicles could survive. The Lorraine 37L was designed and built to satisfy their request for a fully armored resupply unit to operate with armored units. 1/?
>>65498346I havent either, my assumption would be to deflect muzzle blast from the roof of the cab, maybe to avoid throwing up water if it's wet or dust in the desert? Would seem unnecessary for a rifle caliber turret but iunno

I keep hearing that Russia is the world's #2 military power. But does anyone still think that Russia is ahead of China in any domain? Is there a case to be made that Russia could still go toe-to-toe with China, or would the just get blown out of the water at this point?

Victor Belenko, MiG-25 'Foxbat' defector, stated his unit was told in 1969 (Sino-Soviet border clashes) that if Russia were to drop a nuke and kill 1 million chinese a day, they's have to drop a nuke every day for 2 years straight to get them all.

Today, on the military showcase event (MSPO Kielce 2026) Polish state owned military group presented a new heavy IFV prototype (that will take military tests this year) for the Polish army.Context:Poland made and already bought a bunch of domestic made IFVs "Borsuk", but it was made with swimming requirement so Borsuk is objectively lightly protected, army wanted a solid heavy armored IFV that will be able to take on more damage, so Polish manufacturers of Borsuk IFV crated a completely new heavy armored chassis (pic), and slapped the same remote turret on it from Borsuk (30mm Bushmaster + 2 spikes).Borsuk IFV that can swim weights around 28 tons, the new heavy IFV is said to weigh 40 tons (+12 tons).Article:https://polskiprzemysl.com.pl/ciezki-bojowy-woz-piechoty/ (in polish, need to translate the page)Video of new IFV in motion:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLa2OHPveQMWhat are your thoughts? As a Pole I'm glad we are making a solid IFV, because Borsuk IFV is kinda a meme with how lightly armored it is because some retarded general force a swimming requirement for it like a decade ago.

the funniest part about this thread is the schizo samefag serb op denying that he is the schizo samefag serb op while obviously being the schizo samefag serb op
Side question: How the fuck did Croatia get into the EU AND Eurozone so quick?
My understanding of Balkans based on people I've known is that Serbs are generally pretty cool and nice UNTIL you bring up nationalist stuff or even remotely referencing Jugoslavia and the like. Then it turns into a general "not only did we do nothing wrong, but you should have explicitly let us systematically genocide women and children, we dont even care about the land, we just want them dead" shit. Croatian women have the fiery passion of Italians and the ice cold ruthlessness of someone with ASPD, do not piss them off or it will end badly. Slovenes are weird people, simultaneously a little nicer off and closer to Central Europeans but also kinda fucked up like countryside finns. Make good guns tho. Montenegrins are full on Mediterranean do-nothings and I kinda envy not living in a country with 0 expectation to do anything with your life but drink and relax.I haven't met an Albanian yet but reminds me of Turkey, not really a friend or a foe and some weird probably illegal shit but they do manage to keep things under wraps politically.
>>65501619New market & also helps to economically and diplomatically isolate people who DONT wanna play along aka Serbia. Giving Croatia a bit of special treatment means everyone around them might get a bit jealous and wanna work with the EU a bit more.
Any Doom fans here?What's the most /k/ gameplay mod?
I'm a bit surprised noone's mentioned Brutal Doom yet. Easily one of my favorite mods and the E-day mappack is a lot of fun and pretty challenging. I've also been playing Brutal Doom with the VietDoom weapon replacer because blasting demons with an M16A1 or a Mosin Nagant is pretty kino, especially on the earth themed levels because it kinda feels like you're taking back your own neighborhood from a demonic invasion with weapons you could conceivably own or come across irl

Imagine our world has been merged with a classic high fantasy world. Or maybe an alternate history where fantasy elements have always existed on earth.What are the implications for how military tactics, strategy, logistics, culture, or society would be different? How would biology/magic alter the way weapons are used or what's practical?
>>65499695yeah i really dislike when there's some dumb fantasy or isekai and learning magic takes 2 minutes for some basic level shit like "conjure flame", it makes magic such a cheap device instead of this wondrous and mystical element it should be
>>65499854And that sucks because the concept of rare geniuses being extremely potent combatants you have to weigh the risk of using is interesting
>>65486069This is awful, if you can fly like that you'll 100% be hopping from rooftop to rooftop unless you have no other choice, for that sweet tactical supremacy that I can't explain but anybody who's played an FPS will know what I mean.
