Why do you like guns? Feeling? Sound? PATRIOTISM?
>>28914506

I buy American, so yes, patriotism.

What impresses you about Chinese Military?
For me it is Chinese Supply and Logistics, China has mastered railway technology, there's no analogue anywhere else in the world when it comes to train transport.
Kys anon, slavshits will still kick the ass of all the gooks cheap knockoff equipment.
>>28914103
>railway technology
not helpful when your railways get blown to shit because they're obvious strategic targets and easy to disrupt
real logistical power isn't dependent on such fragile infrastructure and only the US has mastered that after decades of intense conflict in foreign countries
then again all you have to do to stop china is blow up their shitty dam xD
>>28914215
doesn't china have an underground transportation network?
oris that only for their nuclear munitions?
Why don't more armed forces do more exercises in Scotland, it's the perfect terrain, is it just racism?
Pure racism the Scots don't get more training exercises
>>28914017
wait
is this some meme I'm not aware of?
they cant handle the midges.
For the former military folks and our supporters on here, how do we solve the issue of stolen valor once and for all? For me, I've decided to always carry my old military ID on me whenever I wear anything veteran related, in case I am spot checked. Doubly so if I am carrying. I think this is one reasonable solution that we should start doing. Any other ideas?
>this thread again
POGs are the ones always most concerned about this
Maybe if you curbed the automatic "muh hero" worship for every man and woman who's ever served regardless of actual achievement, you wouldn't get so many stolen valor fags.

Why do u care dude?
Name a Cheap rifle better than the Mosin Nagant.
>>28913137
>cheap
There are a lot of 22LRs that are more useful, lighter, and more portable than the Mosin when it comes to what the average person will ever use a rifle for.

What kind of air defense systems are on board this thing? I am thinking AIM-120 AMRAAM's and multiple sets of flares. Is there an escape pod or is that just hollywood shit?
>>28912780
Pretty sure it just carries a metric fuckton of countermeasures. The offensive armament is left to a fighter escort
My guess is some avionic scrambling technology. Who knows maybe even stealth coating.
If Air Force One needs to take a BVR shot, you're basically dead. There's no way it can generate enough energy to take a good NVR shot, and g limits of +2.0 and poor visibility and being gigantic prevent any chance of surviving a merge.
What special force does /k/ favor?
Mine is The Danish Frogmen (Fromandskorpset)
Damn, they look pretty fucking badass
>>28912467
SoG or Rangers / Delta / SAS

What the shit? What about those rifles is censored?

Ask questions, get advice from retards, bitch about recruiters, accuse each other of stolen valor over melty-cheesy hot pockets and diet double Mountain Dew.

got done hanging out with my ranger acquaintance, he shed some light on selection, RASP/RIP/ROPE, and his actual missions.
i asked how bad is the washout rate, i had heard it was close to 70%
>easily. probably close to 25% on the first day
of course PT is bad, but HOW bad?
>the most grueling experience of his life. his PT instructor qualified for the Olympics. twice. in track and field. you need to be able to keep up with his sub-10minute 2mile over to the field for PT, do PT until failure, then the same run back to barracks.
there's a lot more, but these are a couple things that stuck out and I've heard people ask about stuff like this here
December 8, 1941.
One day after the day of infamy, the United States of America declares war on the Empire of Japan.
You have been nominated by emperor Hirohito and prime minister Tojo to be the chief of the Japanese military.
What is your plan? What does Japan have to do in order to achieve its goals? How to do so?
What are my goals?
No really, what are my goals?
>Complete dominance of the Pacific
hahahahaha fuck off
Destroy the Panama canal.
Bombard Alaskan oil refiniries until they're out of business.
Utilize muh hindsight to get Manchurian oil
Don't deploy carriers piecemeal
Create an ASW frigate to protect the merchant marine
Keep building Shoukakus, don't fall for the armored flight deck meme
Institute an American-style pilot training program, to lessen training issues over a war of attrition.
Blockade Australia and minimize the number of scattered island garrisons requiring resupply.
Try and nail American carriers with the full might of the Kido Butai, but don't spread them too thin.
Try for a negotiated peace after in late 1942-early 43

"HOWEVER DO NOT EMAIL ME AND WASTE MY TIME TRYING TO BUY SOMETHING YOU CAN NOT AFFORD IN THE FIRST PLACE." - The description
The guy wants to trade it for a Benelli m2 or an SBE 2
Do western militaries have a rapid replacement system if things get destroyed?
What if 30 MBTs get destroyed in a single engagement or 10 fighters get shot down simultaneously?
>>28911728
remember pearl harbor?
that absolutely devastating attack that nearly crippled the American fleet back in WW2.
the vast majority of those ships were back in functioning condition and ready to sail within a month.
The US carries more than 20 fighter jets on each carrier and still has more waiting on the main land. numbers are unquestionably one of the US military's greatest strengths.
now Europe on the other hand...
yeah that might be damaging to the capabilities of an individual nation.
>>28911728
Ever see pics of The Boneyard in AZ?
All of those aircraft can be made airworthy in weeks. They have similar areas with Abrams and Bradley hulls.
We have a ton of planes in storage. http://www.desertusa.com/arizona-desert/airplane-graveyards.html
Post your usual EDC blade. Not your entire autistic knife collection, just the knife you carry the most.
>>28911345
Pic related. It's on my keychain, so I have it on me the most. Still carry a bigger folder with me most of the time depending on the task or feeling. Big believe in one is none two is one.
Pretty much carry all the time
I usually carry a CRKT, but recently picked up a Spyderco Tenacious and have been carrying that for a while
>>28911168
What? Really?
>>28911168
Good bait.
So I agree that the M1A2 Abrams is pprobably one of the best tanks out there, but my question is just why it can't fire ATGMs from its tube yet?
>>28910697
Meh, when someone makes a tube launched ATGM that's the equal in performance of a regular ATGM like a TOW2 or even a Kornet, it'll be something worth striving for. Until then, APFSDS that have great penetration throughout their engagement range are a better option simply because of the logistics involved. It also doesn't help that all ATGMs are HEAT based and any tank past the mid 80's has absurd amounts of HEAT protection.
In other words, it'll happen when it happens. Though I think it's safe to say that at this point the entire NLOS ATGM concept is rapidly eclipsing the usefulness of tube launched ATGMs.
soviet tanks were only developed with bore-launched missiles to make up for their inherent inferiority in a 1v1 fight with NATO heavy-hitters (inb4 vatniks). This is the exact reason that the Sheridan had a missile, to make it more of a threat to much heavier tanks.
clearly, because NATO MBTs still lack bore-launched ATGMs, NATO armor strategists still feel their tanks are inherently superior to the ex-soviets'
however, with new threats like the Armata coming on the stage, and considering the fact that Israel now has bore-launched missiles, it's becoming somewhat a better question.
now I don't profess to know much about current-gen armor, but my question was always "How come no NATO tanks have external TOW launchers like the Bradley?" because that would be a much easier change to implement.
You know it's coming sooner or later.
This is what the military thinks it will be like.
No, bombing skyscrapers is not a good idea
Imagine fires fucking everywhere.
