I thought these dudes were losing and were getting bombed by Russia, US and a shit ton of EU nations? Yet they're still going strong and launching offensives, why does it seem as if attrition is not taking its toll? Where is all this manpower coming from?

I find it hard to beleive that SA is moving all these fanatical military men into ISIS without the secret being blown, but then again there are still people who think Russia didn't invade Ukraine so maybe anything is possible
MR556 (HK 416) vs SCAR 16
I want a top of the like 5.56 rifle and these two seem to come up, a lot, in conversation. If there is another I'm all ears but I've narrowed it down to these two.
Everybody points to the HK as being the "best of the best" but they seemed to water down the MR. The barrel isn't even chrome lined. I remember watching a show, I think on the Military channel, and they had the 416 on there with a HK representative. He dumped the thing in sand, mud, dirt, dropped it in water, pulled it up fired it, dropped it again,...

Don't bother with the MR that they sell stateside senpai, it's just not worth.
SCARs are fun, but if you're going for 5.56 you don't really gain much over a good AR, even in terms of durability.
Beretta ARX100.

What is an average day in the military for someone that doesn't get deployed. My friend is an aviation mechanic and hes working 12-14 hours a day sometimes. Is this normal?
>>29321058
Yes. That is an average day.
>>29321058
The overtime pay is pretty decent.
>>29321322
>Overtime pay
>In the military
Pick only one.
So I'm an American.
I came from a semi-wealthy family, joined the military during mid-2000's. Went Infantry for shits and giggles.
Was the guy legit? He is a "Royal". He joined up so I kinda have respect.
But was his military service legit? You're telling me a " Prince" doesn't get preference points for promotion? He had to experience favoritism.
Would you follow him into battle? Britcuck opinions welcome.
He killed many argies in the Falklands and killed Bin Laden
>>29321026
He started at the bottom end, worked up the normal stuff to become a Scimitar tank commander (Which still isn't really that high a duty) and then retrained to direct air strikes. You can't do that shit if you don't know your job well, so that speaks for him actually doing it. Went to Afghan, got pulled, so he re-roled as an Apache pilot so he could go back in again, given they were targeted anyway, so his status became irrelevant.
Every job he did he earned, because they aren't jobs...

How does one get from Tank commander to Apache pilot?
Can the British Armed Forces still be considered a military superpower today, post empire?
Nope. It took all they had to fight off Argentina in the 80s and they haven't gotten much better since.
Daily reminder that Britain fought and won a conventional war in the 80s, whilst America has been getting BTFO by middle eastern children, young Vietnamese boys and Arabs with box cutters since 1945.
>>29320428
Yes, undoubtedly.
They can project 15k people simultaneously almost anywhere in the world in 1-3 days indefinately.
This is not a big boot, but this is a powerful scalpel.
They also have (mostly soviet-made, but whatever) nukes more than china has it.
UK is the biggest threat to the world due to their insane politics. All this gun-hysteria in USA, "eco" energy projects around the world and china building a ton of empty housing is just the preparations for ww3, due to UK losing it`s...

How can we make warboats cool again?

Dazzle paint
Cover them in glitter and add flames
Make them transexual friendly.
Why did Germany keep pumping out so many special snowflake tanks/tank variants when all they needed was a fuckton of StuGs and P4's?
As much as I think the Tiger tanks are badass as fuck, was it really necessary?
>>29320145
fear and vengence weapons
maus is a lot more intimidating than a panzer IV
>>29320145
Because it's the same mad country that thought this was simple
>>29320145
Because Germans are anything but efficient.
Which one do you prefer and why?

Three hole so you can drink the alcohol in your magazine pouches without lifting the mask up.

So /k/'s reviewed and hypothesized about what it would take to invade and hold the US, but what about good old Ivan's turf?
What size of force would it take to invade and hold Russia? What would it take to survive the Russian winters? Could a large and well equipped enough force push past the so far impassable Ural Mountains?
>>29319462
>What would it take to invade Russia?
An incredible amount of stupidity.
>>29319462
A couple nuclear warheads aimed at military installations and large population centers

What is Russian winters for $500
It's 7am in the morning, helicopters are roaring over the hot vietnamese forest. Gooks are getting shot down left, right and centre. What song do you play to intimidate em more?

So bland... are they deepthroating the mic?
Should the general population have a basic understanding of how to survive a nuclear war? Should the government still invest in nuclear shelters/items for civilians around areas that are likely to get hit?
>>29318498
No since the cold war is over.
It's 2016 duh. Stop being in the past.
>It's not like things have gotten worse in the past 10 years right???
>>29318498
Yes. They should have the knowledge and be encouraged to be prepared to live after the exchange.
>>29318534
yeah, all nukes have magically disappeared and thermonuclear war is no longer possible.
Picked this up today at a gun show in MO. $350

Feels pretty good. Gotta say though as a side note, the show in KC Missouri was a major let down. Nothing really worth looking at, and I probably saw more baking/jewelry/camping/mallninja...

Are boots /k/? I want to know if anybody has worn a pair of pic related and what they thought about them.
Also, boot thread.
I must say, the most comfortable boots were my jungles. I wore them in seven different countries. They went to combat with me they travelled with me, they stood in North Korea.
