God tier tactical flashlights/brands. No custom pocket jewelry. I love me Hanko as much as the next but I'm not gonna use that shit in a SD scenario unless it's my last option. I'll take a momentary Elzetta or Surefire before my custom lights.
Surefire, Elzetta, TLR, Wilcox That about all I would use.

Are there any non Americans on /k/ anymore? I swear this boards like 95% American gun owners now, we used to have a really diverse board but now we only have a handful of Australians and that one Bosniak with the grenades.
Maybe I'm just being a mopey cunt, but I feel like this boards gone down hill. We lost all our cool tripfags like squid, even /pol/ has a better /sg/ thread now that plague doctor up and left.
Just I feel we're a bit too centric around American gun culture, and it's been shitting up the board a bit.
>>30090839
I just remember when we used to have an actual culture for this board, but its gotten so politically correct and the mods are bloody trash here.
just kind of miss the old threads like with those Iranian soldiers, or the stupid little how to projects every now and again.

I mean /k/ was always shit but it used to be marginally less shit.

> What's this thread about?
As usual this thread is for the discussion and pics of tracked and wheeled AFVs of all kinds from MBTs to supertanks to self propelled AA guns. Please keep it civil and cite sources for statistics.
It was during the War of Attrition in 1969 against Egypt, Jordan and Syria that the IDF recognised its lack of parity the new T-62. Engagements after 1948 had decisively highlighted the importance of closing this gap. In 1970, after much haranguing of the Defense Minister Moshe Dayan by the Finance Minister, approval was belatedly given for an indigenous tank programme to be spearheaded by the formidable Major General Yisrael “Talik” Tal. With only a $100 million USD R&D and production, Tal was given three specific directives; to ensure a quality modern MBT, ensure arms embargoes would not impact Israeli armour supplies and be developed to Israeli standards and needs. In 1971, active development commenced on the “Merkava” with a skeleton crew of handpicked personnel, with the overarching concern of crew protection and quality in practice, as opposed to a cheaper, but less capable retrofit of older vehicles. The mass devastation of the tank corps in the 1973 war more or less demanded that the precious few Merkavas that could be produced were superlative compared to its Soviet counterparts. The Merkava that resulted was notable for its generously dimensioned interior and a resilient disposition, with good mobility over rugged terrain. Protection was excellent, spaced armour, the dispersal of interior systems, storage of ammunition under the turret ring with isolated inflammables and its angularly slim silhouette culminating in a supremely sturdy tank. Its unveiling in 1979 would be a prelude to a fine legacy of Israeli tank design to the present day.

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated.
While the humble Merkava Mark I might not be as impressive today, especially in comparison to its younger peers, military attaches and observers on both sides of the wall were taken aback at the unveiling in 1979. In particular, a parade demonstration of an infantry dismount from the Merkava’s rear hatch was an acute surprise to many. Of course, utilising the Merkava in this fashion would have necessitated the removal of much extra ammunition, but it was impressive nonetheless. The shape of the Merkava was also intriguing for many, incorporating a multi-angle combination of welded and cast armour with spaced compartments. Although powered by a Continental AVDS-1790-6A V-12 diesel coupled to an Allison CD-850-6BX, it was never truly astounding in speed, but it did well enough in pushing its hulking mass up the steep hills of the Golan Heights. It would be in Operation Peace for Galilee in 1982, the striking Lebanon campaign, that the Merkava would receive its baptism of fire, engaging entrenched Syrian regular formations in the shadow of the Bekaa Valley. The Merkava, quite simply, cleaved through T-72s, T-62s and T-55s with alarming ease, while handheld anti-tank weapons such as the Sagger and RPG-7, which had previously been the bane of the IDF in 1973, proved to be of limited effectiveness against the substantial armour of the Merkava. Only 250 Merkava Is were built, but they had certainly left their mark.
Addendum: Whoever asked for my WWI booklist, I’ll most definitely post it in the thread today.

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I’ll further elaborate and provide links.
Finnish state-owned enterprise Patria, of AMV fame, has announced that it intends to privatise a portion of its business by selling it to Norway’s Kongsberg. The deal is estimated to be worth some $316 million USD and involve 49.9 percent of Patria Oyj.
Finland has additionally announced intentions to purchase a new 155 mm self-propelled howitzer (SPH) in the near future according to the Director of Artillery at Finnish Army Command. The country is looking for an off-the-shelf solution with either tracks or wheels, with finalisation expected by 2018.
General Dynamics Land Systems Canada has introduced a new variant of its LAV family of AFVs, at CANSEC in Ottawa. The LAV Combat Support Vehicle is based off the LAV 6.0 with an added degree of modularity, intended to fit a more mission flexible role.
Ukraine’s Malyshev Plant is marketing its 1500hp diesel powerpack as a potential export upgrade for MBTs, either as a retrofit or in the production phase. Said engine is a compact diesel powerpack that comprises the liquid-cooled 6TD-series six-cylinder, two-stroke multifuel supercharged engine, and air filtration with an efficiency rating of up to 99.8%, which is critical for operating in desert conditions.
And that’s all for now.

I know that all of the evidence has yet to be released, but I wanted to know what you guys think. Are the police becoming too militarized? If so, what changes could be made?
>>30089250
>How to stop it?
Hang all department chiefs who request such gear.
Turn over SWAT teams to the governor. Mandatory trials for all police shootings/deaths
Public hanging for any/all offenses and infractions of police officers.
No union protection for officers under investigation or charged with a crime.
The police can be as militarized as they damn well please as long as the citizenry are allowed the same. It's not what equipment they have, it's their willingness to use it. When the government has disarmed the people the police will gladly go around shooting whoever they feel like because they know there will be no repercussions to their actions because they have a monopoly of force. But in an armed society if the police go around shooting people for no good reason they're going to end up getting shot right the fuck back at, which means they'll put a lot more thought into any "justified shootings" than they will when all they face is a slap on the wrist from their chief.

>my husband was a gud man he dindu nuffin
She looks like trash, her husband looks like trash, and her kids look like they have fetal alcohol syndrome. Her husband was a fucking idiot for not complying but hey, play stupid games and win stupid prizes.
They probably should have tased him first or whatever the fuck less than lethals they were issued instead of escalating directly to deadly force. Mistakes were made on both ends. But we can't know for sure until the body cam footage comes out, IF it comes out and isn't mysteriously lost because the people on trial here are the same people in charge of handling and securing all the evidence.
>What changes can be made?
Don't hang whistleblowers.
Destroy the "us versus them" mentality the cops have by forcing them to walk the streets again and know the people rather than riding around in their cruisers with ARs in the trunk communicating on their own radio channels. Don't let them pretend they're a military outfit and they gotta "get through" so they can retire and get their benefits.
Make them answerable to the civilian courts rather than their own tribunals or whatever the fuck equivalents they have so maintaining good ol' boy circles by putting problem officers on paid leave until their cases blow over becomes much harder.
>1946. Months after the end of WW2 in europe. The lines have been drawn. The west has a major advantage in the form of nuclear weapons.
Why didn't we press the attack and at the very least push Russia back to it's pre WW-2 borders? It doubt that iymt would have taken more than three years.
Could it have been done before the first succesful Russian nuclear test in 1949?
>>30089187
Also, could someone post a bigger picture of 1946 Europe? My phone keeps dowloading the thumbnail for some reason.

its a quote from some baguette vidya
I see a lot of "EDC" threads, but how exactly does /k/ /k/arry? People rarely
include info on their belts, or what type of clothing they might wear when concealing.
What works for you? Does your line of work or sense of style interfere with how,
or what you carry? I'll share mine and give some feedback on my holsters and
such. Try to include photos if you share, this is an image board after all. Or at least
some detailed information about what you like or don't like about equipment currently you use,
or have used. This may help your fellow /k/ommandos avoid regretful purchases in the future.
This first picture here is my new G-CODE (Edgeworks?) "Incog Shadow" light bearing holster.
It's an appendix holster with a mag caddy. I ordered it custom and it took eight weeks to
arrive. It has blue-grey fuzz on the outside so you can pet it like an animal.
>>30088317
I know appendix carry isn't for everyone. I like it because I feel the draw is efficient from many positions, such as sitting down, even in a vehicle with a seatbelt on. This holster keeps the pistol pressed against my body snuggly, it really doesn't print. Bending over does not hurt my stomach because the pistol sits very low, bending over also does not cause printing like a 4:00 carry would.
>and you know i love bending over
>>30088324
3) Not sure how useful this picture is. I'm wearing pretty tight jeans in all these shots.
>just for you
I work at a network operations center, and visit data centers and other facilities in my area. These places are filled with Bernie-voting noguns liberal numales, but somehow do not have no-firearms policies. I dress casual, usually a button-down shirt and jeans and have so far remained undetected.
One thing about appendix carrying at work is, I can't use urinals at work really. Gotta use that stall, in case I try to show someone my penis but accidentally let them see my pistol.
