The fact that the law doesn't require you to buy a safe? There are plenty of sentences that prove that as long as you did something to keep them out of the reach of anyone who doesn't have a license it's enough.

Indirect fire and defensive actions. We saw last week some Leopards being used to great effect. You're not doing thunder runs that's for sure.

The real issue is that T-72s are made of explodium, and are a real danger. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops have died needlessly in BMPs and T72s.

Hey /k/, what would be the ideal gun for a contemporary tunnel rat clearing out abandoned mines/limestone caves? Assume potential targets are roughly man-sized and unarmored. Also assume more than one target may be encountered at one time.

My thoughts:
>ability to mount a super bright flashlight is key
>subsonic/suppressible caliber ideal for allowing hearing post-shot
>frangible or hollow point non-fmj bullets might be necessary to prevent ricochet
>design should be compact in case climbing or crawling is necessary
>design should function when exposed to mud/grit

Since this thread is related to bayonets: I'm currently looking into early bayonet types (plug bayonets, early socket bayonets from the 1680s, etc.) and came across this article: https://combatarchaeology.org/three-early-bayonets/
Especially interesting to me are the two sword bayonets (Oss 620 and Os 625) as I always believed such sword bayonets only appeared in the early 19th century (see the sword bayonet of the Baker Rifle for example) and I can't quite figure out how they were attached.
In the article for Oss 620, dated to the second half of the 17th century, it states: " Riveted spout for fastening". But what does that exactly meme - perhabs me being an esl shows here.
Also for Oss 620 you can see a metal slot at the very end of the hilt - I assume this is also important for fixing the bayonet, no?
I would be thrilled if somebody can illuminate me here.

Incidentally, this is why tear gas is banned from offensive use but is fine for riot control. The fear was, a tear gas attack would be seen as an attack with serious weapons, and there would be retaliation in kind. It’s mostly irrelevant now, because major countries have so much red tape that by the time you get to someone who can authorize your VX or sarin or ricin or whatever other nastiness you have, it’ll be clear that it was tear gas used against you. But it’s still international law.

Book on the Su-75.

Light tactical aircraft T-75

Work on the creation of a light tactical aircraft (LTS T-75, "The Checkmate") began at the Sukhoi Design Bureau on its own initiative in 2015. Based on the results of scientific and practical work on the rational composition of the aviation group, an aircraft concept was proposed. The main aspects of which were the creation of a modern aircraft designed primarily for strike missions, but at the same time possessing high survivability rates, as well as providing a significant reduction in operating costs. In fact, an aircraft with the functionality of a fighter-bomber (similar to the Su-17 and MiG-27) was needed, but with a modern level of characteristics and new properties.

From 2015 to 2019, more than 20 alternative layout options were developed, taking into account various options for the composition of onboard equipment and weapons. The main areas of research were:

- determining the impact on the appearance of low visibility, the number of engines, the composition of the complex -
equipment and aviation weapons;
- research of alternative aerodynamic configurations.

At the first stage, institutes of the Russian Ministry of Defense were involved in joint research, based on the results of joint work with them, the main requirements for the aircraft were formed. The most rational options were recognized as those using individual properties of the 5th generation and ensuring a significant reduction in life cycle costs, which confirmed the correctness of the initially chosen development directions.
