https://nitter.poast.org/Jonpy99/status/1784519287291384213Some pretty decent analysis from today on the state of Russia's AFV/IFV stocks at major storage bases with emphasis on BMPs. tl;dr shit's fucked>Overall, BMPs decreased in these bases from 4191 before the war 2793 in recent months, of which two thirds, 1814, look to be cannibalized or in dire needs of repairs before being put in active service. Most of the working hulls are also BMP-1s.>BMP-2s keep descending into extinction as well as other kinda modern armor such as BTR-80s, and BMP-3s, BTR-82s and the like are nowhere to be seen in storage anymore.
They're going to do massive bmp spam just as soon as fresh shells arrive aren't they?
>>61512231the implication that russia can just attack another country if they win in ukraine has been so funny for me because they basically wasted over half of the soviet legacy just fighting ukraine, what the fuck are they gonna use for everyone else?
Zisters, not like this.....
>>61512237Since the weapon shipments resumed it is actually much worse that Russia has less and less heavy armor to carry their troops. Both the Tungsten Rain missiles and the cluster munitions will completely annihilate all the soft-skinned vehicles they're bringing out to replace the BMPs and do so enmasse.
>>61512203>While Russia is totally capable to turn those hulls into working vehicles it will take much time and effort.Russia only has BMP-3 factory working. turning BMP-2 and BMP-1 hulls into working machine will require opening another factory

>>61496609the biggest part of PTSD I have seen that people don't get is the habits and reactions it causes. Those habits and reactions cause frictions and problems in your relationships and work and then you are unemployed and alone and that is why you off yourself.

How am I gonna get a triangle folder for my KP9 now?
>>61511923Find one on the secondary market or at one of the commercial Bulgarian 5.5mm stocks.
>>61510884See Rob Ski’s video in >>61510599 post. The AK is more intuitive with simpler controls. The AR has more buttons and knobs that are just added complexity. If you handed an AK and an AR to a total newbie, it would be easier for him to figure out the AK.
Why haven't we made/declared bigger nukes? The tsar bomb was literally downscaled from 100MT to 50 because the they were scared that the pilot wouldn't be able to make it away on time. Surely we have dinosaur extinction asteroid tier nukes by now?
Because 10MT is more than enough to obliterate Moscow, and bigger nuke means bigger delivery system. So they are not worth the trouble.
Doubling the yield only increases the area destroyed by ~60%. So two 100kt bombs destroy a quarter more than one 200kt bombs.On the other hand, if you're attacking dispersed point targets (missile silos, power plants, etc) then you're basically going to need one bomb per target regardless of yield, so there multiple smaller warheads have an even greater advantage over one big one.The really large nukes existed for two reasons. First was pure propaganda, and the usefulness of that was kinda limited since people could just explain how more nukes > bigger nukes. Second was because in the days of intercontinental bombers CEP was measured in zip codes, and so a huge blast radius was useful to make sure you took out whatever city you've been sent to deal with. ICBMs however had much, much better precision and so the huge yields wasn't needed any more once they got into service.
>>61512089>Because 10MT is more than enough to obliterate Moscow,>heavy blast damage 69km2>Moscow area (within Moscow ring road) 870km2No.
>>61512146Big nukes kinda made sense in the age of the strategic bomber.Logistics and tactics of their strike means they do singular strike per flight so makes sense make this strike bigger, and weight or big nukes is less taxing.IBCM with MIRV completely logistics and tactics.
>>61511048there is a limit at nuke size, after which it becomes counter productive

If the Su-75 Checkmate program becomes complete before NGAD, how will that affect the balance of power in air warfare?
>>61511850So they are just straight-up incapable of developing stealthy fighter jets?Unleast they tried with the Su-57, this shit isn't even fucking trying.
>>61511850It will be checkmate, for russia.Money wasted into a weapon that's just a pale copy of the F35, made by a traitorous country who can't sell it and honestly can't afford producing it.I'd rather buy Rafale.
>>61512029>a pale copy of the F35Mate, look at it (>>61511879), does it look like they even entertained an idea of it being anything but a 4th Gen airframe?
>>61511850su-75 is a joke and here's whythey can never manufacture and field squadrons of them, and by the time they realistically could, the US would have already moved on to a whole next gen aircraft and be well on their way to the one after thatrussia is a paper tiger, same goes for china
>>61512047Airframe wise Su-75 is better design, it's how F-35 should be.but this plane ain't gonna happen.
I'm thinking of carrying my Ruger security 9 with the safety on in my utility kilt pocket. I don't have a pocket holster large enough. I could easily get one, but do I really need to? The geometry of the pocket will keep it from rotating. I plan to dedicate one pocket to the gun and put nothing else in there. It seems to me this is a legitimate way to carry, but I'm wondering if there's a downside I didn't think of.>Crap gunIt was my first purchase and the only one I have with a manual safety. I already own it and can shoot it.Also, does the colors of this kilt remind you of anyone? I don't have this model, but I'm thinking of getting it.
>>61511688>going to wear underwear because ticksBig mistake bro. Ticks like to get in snug places so unders make it more likely you will get one.I know this because went camping with a couple of bros one time and wore snug unders. Day 2 went off to shit and when I got in position wouldn't you know it? Tick on the end of my dick.Of course I screamed which my bros took to be a Wendigo so they deployed all of our Wendigo countermeasures so we ended up having to pack up and go home.

>>61507410I bought one of these ~10 years ago and immediately thought to myself "Why the fuck did I buy this?"it never got worn, I have it to my buddy who also never wore it, and it probably got donated to goodwill.
>>61507410that skirt goes kind of nuts. if we lived in a period where kilts were still acceptable for men to wear, i'd want to rock it.
>>61507410hey hithank you for askingi've been pocket carrying a springfield hellcat with a manual safety without a holster every business day for the last 3+ years in cheap office slacks and my experience doing so has been so positive that i've been meaning to write a thread or two to inform others about how great it isthis thread is a good chance to put my thoughts together so feel free to ask questionstldr: the only hazard of pocket carrying is that cosmetically-ugly-but-anecdotally (t. my experiences)-harmless lint gets on your gun and any optics that are attached (not sure if that matters for you)just make sure that the material that your carry pocket is made out of is soft enough to not somehow disengage the manual safety and pull the trigger on your carry gun catastrophically (somehow) and you'll arguably be safer than if you were appendix carrying

Why do ATACMS create so much seethe?Also. What will Russia do now that Ukraine has hundreds of them and they can cover pretty much all the invaded regions?What’s the long term strategy here?
>>61511076>>61511082Doesn't riding on the outside of an armored vehicle entirely defeat the purpose?
>>61512090>sit inside pressure cooker as it detonates from mine/AT/a wet fartvs>sit outside of said pressure cooker under the same conditionsIts honestly not a win-win scenario
>>61512102I see your point.

>>61512080everything about that fucking game turned out to be closer to reality than we could have imagined
Is it feasible /k/? Also space warfare.
>>61502307depending on the time of lunar day thats right. i dont know guns - how much heat is created in the structure of the rifle from each shot? perhaps they designed the thing with a certain limit of how many shots can be fired until it needs a break to cool down?
>>61497426Recoil and overheating would be retarded. With lowered to no gravity recoil would not only make the gun fly over the place it would move you much more. Without particle to interact with the very hot barrel to interact with it takes longer to cool. Retarded idea to fix these problems: delayed rocket cartridges that Brun most of their propellant outside the barrel of the gun.
>>61504556this. season 4 was pretty much worthless. just a long boring union story. surprised they even got funding for season 5
>>61510609>If we ever start parking asteroids in orbit for mining that some company CEO is going to have the mother of all weapons of mass destructionAlready true for commercially run nuke plants and all sorts of heavy industry.Look at the Baltimore bridge and at Evergreen in the Suez, the ability of corporations to cause disasters with huge impacts goes well beyond weaponized mining operations.It'll be mostly fine for a few reasons, the CEOs need somewhere to spend their money, if they try to become emperor of earth then they either win or die and they're not going to win because it takes more than a gun to someone's head to make you king. If you put a gun to Biden's head right now, you don't become POTUS, you just get arrested.Same for any CEO getting uppity. The fun doesn't start until two things are true:* they can live in permanent off-world settlements such as lagrange stations that would be reasonably easy to isolate and defend* they are largely self-sufficient in those settlementsOtherwise, we just cut off your internet, fuel and food deliveries and say no. Eventually you want to rejoin the human race because your lolis are getting too old and you find there's an arrest team waiting for you.If Musk had a self-sustaining colony on Mars that he ruled over, his negotiations about income and taxes on his Earth-orbit operations could get a whole lot more rambunctious. Not even getting to the level of threatening genocide, just threatening to turn the lights off because he owns the orbital solar array that powers North America and feels like pulling a Shkreli.In theory, nationalising assets that are used this way is the answer but the US is allergic to it. It's still the right answer though, any commercial practice that can be weaponised requires regulation and oversight and can be nationalised if abused. Just like having a firearm confiscated because it was brandished in public.
>>61501889The old military reports came to the conclusion that conventional firearms would be clunky and awkward to handle and aim while wearing a space suit.Moving parts were also a problem since they could freeze and or cold weld themselves together in the vacuum of space.That same vacuum would also cause any liquid lubricant to instantly boil off the guns, and since there's no wind or water erosion on the moon, moon dust is incredibly sharp and jagged, so it'll eat through most materials quite rapidly and jam the absolute fuck out of guns with moving parts.Hence the disposable boom sticks.
what's this maneuver called?
>>61507847>Anyway they can ship the engine separately and install it on the carrier.or you know, do that on land and then just fly the aircraft to the carrier. more practical.
>>61510246>why don't they just truck the plane to the carrierretard
>>61505974As usual, americans are training to steal russian tech. theyre probably eyeing to steal that su57

Today we're going on a field trip to see some of the shining examples of our militia's cutting-edge armory. From clueless boomers to ghetto drive-by fodder, it's time to see what the low speed high drag operators are doing.Step 1: Go to Amazon, search some generic shit like "tactical light" or "sniper scope"Step 2: look at the reviews of the cheapest, most mall ninja shit you seeStep 3: go to the picture gallery in the reviewsStep 4: post your findings and search query hereFor example: "tactical lazer"

>>61512143Another game, under 21, black, or senile old man?
>>61512151And before you ask, no I have no idea nor want to think about how heavy this shit is
>>61512105I honestly kinda struggle with how something like that happens. Like, how are they holding it while shooting it that they don't notice naturally?
Do they make good guns? Or are there better cheap options for AK's?
