No subs for this, but there is a lot of nice footage and some occasional anglospeak. Basically NATO exercises in Norway during the early 80'shttps://youtu.be/B7dAzXHudr8

>>55324888Where's the testing results that it promised 2 years ago? What possible reason would it have to not release/conduct them?
>>55324907Yeah, I'm not about to put a company email out there lol, it's all good. I'll reply from something legitimate. I don't have the time or notification algorithm to hit every lube thread like some people. Don't worry about anything free, the store buys my supplies, I'd rather help small business.
>>55324977Same here, as long as im able to deliver a proof you should be fine and we're able to talk normal or do b2b when you want Korbo in AZ. Im in the lab right now and was unable to send a update mail to the testing bruhs for weeks but once the parcel is safe delivered to Korbo in the next week im able to do so and give out infos as a strg+c mail since a big amount of Anon gets winter oil and free oil this autumn. Mail was planned 2 weeks before vut everytime i had planned freetime some shit like increased production time, custom papers or german bullshit with documents killed it :D But hey, its time to step up the game

Why don't armies just put a 120mm cannon on top of IFVs and call it a day? Tank armor are pretty much useless anyways since every other soldier is carrying a ATGM
>>55316479Yeah no the minute you reach NCO basically forgot about even talking to your crew about anything besides work. An officer shouldn't even know you exist till you reach corporal.

If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values.

You hate to hear it, but current NV tech is a joke, companies are literally sitting on actual night vision glasses, if not contacts. Which is why current NV is being shilled so hard everywhere.
>>55326875On the flip side though, if I ever seriously needed them, it would be close in where duals would be quite the advantage. I have been mulling over this for some time
>>55326848What will you be using your night vision for? Single tubes are g2g and military types have used them to drive, shoot, observe, etc for decades, but dual tubes offer you actual depth perception and they don't give you a headache after prolonged use.
>>55326959Hopefully just larping, looking at the stars, hiking, and also just in case
>>55326875I drive with my pvs 14 all the time. It's a lot of fun.

>>55326660Good looking kot, anon. Very similar to mine. I love this Lil bastard like you wouldn't believe. I didn't think cats could genuinely love their owners before.
>>55322495Chickens are great.>eat bugs & mice>source of eggs and meat>useful for gardening (spreading compost, eats weed seeds, poop is fertilizer)>fun to watchGuinea fowl are great too. They can take care of themselves much better than chickens, they will roost in trees so you don't have to worry about maintaining a predator-proof coop. They kill snakes on sight and they're also excellent guard animals since they'll freak out if they see an intruder whether that's a human or animal.
>>55326707Thanks man, your dude looks nice and healthy. He must be doing well with you. I've always had dogs in the past and love em both, but until I had my own cat, I couldn't really recognize the way cats love their owners
Nice, I love /k/ots
Great kots frensHere is one of the 3 of mine
Questions that don't deserve their own thread.I moved out of NY because I love guns, now I need to find a new job so I can buy guns.Find a listing for gunsmith, 60k no experience required>sounds sketch>look up company>they destroy guns for copsis hating myself everyday worth it to fund my own collection?it'll mostly be confiscated hi-points from crack heads right?
I've decided I need magnification after being ass at the 200 yard range. I'm currently running a Primary Arms 1x, which I love up close.Does anyone have experience using their magnifier that's meant for it with it? I'm considering either getting the magnifier, or getting their fixed 3x optic and throwing the 1x on a different rifle that doesn't have anything at present.
>>55267973Do it. In Minecraft of course.
>>55265128What's a good equivalent to a POG job to look for? I don't want to do what I was experienced in. I want to try something different.
>>55266765Yes, it's way fancyass revolvers have the chambers numbered individually
>>55265128I bought an SLR rifleworks magwell for my glock 40 10mm. It literally wont let a loaded mag seat unless you have the slide locked back. You can buy their baseplates which supposedly fixes the problem. Is this a common issue with mag wells?
>A former US Army general said that Russia's announced mobilization of 300,000 reservists was a "jaw-dropping" sign of weakness.>Mark Hertling, who commanded the US Army Europe, explained in a Twitter thread that he has personally witnessed how the Russian army is "poorly led and poorly trained.">Hertling, who for a time also commanded all basic and advanced soldier training for the US Army, said that during two visits to Russia he found the army's training to be "awful.">He compared Russia's army training with the US', which typically involves new soldiers getting 10 weeks of basic training across several sites from "very professional drill sergeants," and many going on to get more specialized training. >The former general cited a Moscow Times article from July, six months into the invasion of Ukraine, which said that soldiers were being sent to the front line with minimal basic training.is there a reason for shitty training?
>>55316727The rank and file of Pakistan's military might not have supported the Taliban (directly), but their intelligence wing (sort of like the KGB but more powerful) sure as hell did. Their was always popular support for various Jihadists and Taliban, but that too took a beating after one faction (I forget which) shot up a school for children of military officers a decade back. Of course, now everyone is even more uncomfortable since the Pakistani branch of the Taliban are drumming up support for secession, along with the Balochistani that have been repressed since forever.>>55318409America is still helping the Pakis and announced they'll be selling f-16s to them recently. At this point its institutional, I think. JFK/Johnson decided to retardedly antagonize India by covertly supplying munitions to Pakistan during one of their pointless wars in the 60s, and every president has continued their support ever since.
>>55325215He also got rid of c*vid overnight.I can see that Nobel prize incoming.
>>55325432Who? Don't care about some burger vatnig propaganda superstars
>>55316409Everyone believed that. The Russian army got ass raped by Ukraine because of the ridiculous amounts of corruption in their army, which is incredibly hard to gauge especially at the lowest levels.
>>55327020>Everyone believed thatwhat the fuck is wrong with you? r*ssia has not won a singular real war in almost 2 centuries, they are culturally incapable of waging waryou are either mentally retarded or severely underaged and completely historically illiterate
Realistically speaking, can you restore an AK (in the field) from this condition into something that won't blow up on you? Or are AK's just as overhyped as the Russian army was?
the rifles will mostly be fine. once theyre that rusty, they will get rusty again easier than before, so they will require more maintenance. The bigger issue is that we're seeing how poorly maintained russia's stocks are. Some equipment can easily be returned to working order, others cannot.
>>55322737>Since the barrels are chrome lined that will probably mean that the barrel is the only part of the rifle that is not rustyThose guns were stored in the 70's, not oiled, not vacuum sealed or anything, and kept in humid conditions.There's a 0% chance the chrome lining in the barrel is still intact. Over the literal decades, cracks will have formed in the lining and rust has settled in.Of course, not as bad as if those guns had been shot all the time and then rusted for a few years, but decades in bad environment is still a major problem.
Something acidic and a good scrubeing can remove the rust. Spraying it with WD40 can postpone future rust.

The Bulgarian Ministry of Defense reported that during today’s meeting of the Council of Ministers, the investment expenditure project for the acquisition of another 8 F-16 BLOCK 70 aircraft, together with their associated logistics and an armament package for these, was approved for a total amount totaling $1,296,412,185.https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/09/bulgaria-to-purchase-eight-more-f-16-block-70-fighters/
>>55321312Cool.Is Bulgartia gonna solve their vatnik problem so they can actually receive their original order at last?How about fixing their vatnik problem that prevented them from receiving secondhand F-18s for basically free 20 years ago?Or maybe their vatnik problem that necessitates putting Bulgarian soldiers into an "international" batallion because Bulgarian soldiers might be skilled and loyal, but Bulgarian high command is owned by Putin?>>55322267Whenever you see someone pretending to not know where Bulgari is, there's a 95% chance they're Serb or Russian.
>>55322338Freedom from what?
>>55324984You know you make a good point, we should just kick Bulgaria out and have it partitioned between Greece and Turkey, thanks for the advice
>>55322290Block 70 F-16 is around $60-65MF-35A is around $75-80MF-35B is around $100-105MAnd I belive the per-flight-hour costs for the F-16 are half of the F-35
>>55324943I don't know mate, I'm from Bulgaria and I've seen American generals (or so I remember) mistake Serbia for Siberia. Specifically when they talk about a nuclear exchange with Russia.
I'm planning on being the funny one in my group when I start basic. What kind of jokes can I make that would make the drill sergeant like me?
Shout "Brojob, haha!!!" and deepthroat him furiously, everybody (especially him) will think it's a hilarious joke but not gay. You're supposed to develop brotherly connections in the military, and this is a time-honored way of doing so.

>>55325199Kinda demoralizing to see all those young men sacrificed for no reason OP.
>>55326426They're traitors to Chechnya. Real Chechens fight for Ukraine.
I started reading One Soldier's War this week, which is a memoir about the Chechen Wars that I highly recommend. Those conflicts were brutal beyond belief, and it seems that Russia fixed almost none of the problems that it had 25-30 years ago.Also, the Chechen battle hobbits of the 1990s would absolutely eat these Instagram LARP "Chechen SF" queers' lunches. At the beginning of this conflict I expected decent performance from Russia, on account of that's what NATO taught me to believe, but the one thing that was incredibly glaring to me was their heavy PR campaign around their Chechen troops. Massive cringe desu.
>>55326451>but the one thing that was incredibly glaring to me was their heavy PR campaign around their Chechen troopsNaturally. They whipped the shit out of the Russians. Russians only respect you if you beat them, it's why they rarely seethe about Finland but regularly do so in regards to Ukraine and the like.
for the discussion of military surplus firearms. Crestpost.
>>55325150Very nice, any rollmarks to show?
>>55325150>>55314674can you truly say you enjoy your Martini if you dont also have a pith helmet to go with it?
>>55321467Even better are the ammo boomers with a booth 4 or 5 tables wide filled with various obscure ammo of all types. None of it will be priced. You will then pick up a PPU in the older blue box with obvious wear and tear from years of being lugged to gun shows. You can get this for $20-30 online most days unless PPU is between batches. You will ask how much and the boomer will respond anywhere between $50-90. You then laugh and turn 360 degrees and walk away. Gunshow boomers also have massive boners for pricing .410 and .32 at least 5x market price. I don't think I've seen a box of .32 below $40-50 at a show in a while. Boomer .410 birdshot hoarding is also impressive.
>>55326624>>55321467Ive had some pretty good experiences at my gunshows here though. While yes ive seen plenty of what youre saying and more, i've also found a solid amount of hidden gems and agreeable boomers to warrant going back every time.Some notable stuff includes boomers willing to haggle down some rifles by $100 on 2 occasions, an entire can of nazi marked 8x56 for $5 a box (ill never run out of m95 enblocs cause of that day) lots of federal and lake city .30 cal for $15 a box. A coded non RC K98k for $600 and lots of general allowing me to bulk buy stuff at discount. Also a boomer threw this bayonet >>55326566 for my martini in for free cause he enjoyed a conversation with a young collector.Overall, yes gunshows are a pit of boomers gouging and that fucking loud ass taser sound, but its definitely fun hunting down the good deal here and there
>>55321215>>55325135Congrats anon. One day, I'd like to get a Nagoya long rifle to go with my short rifle.
Does mixed male/female military units improve or reduce effectiveness? Anyone here with first hand experience? Whats it like working with female soldiers?
>>55324532Probably not wrong, but they're not wrong either.I went to school with a woman that was in the military. Her MOS is uncertain, but I doubt it was actually anything combat.We had a group project which was a final and having her in our group was an absolute shit show.She wouldn't attend meetings on time if at all, and once there she derailed us all the time. Wanting to change our methods or our topic pretty much every week while she contributed very little other than fucking up our progress in each meeting.Eventually our group had enough of her fucking shit and got her ejected. She ended up doing a final group project on her own in the last few weeks of the semester.On the second to last day of the presentations she was supposed to present when suddenly her USB drive 'malfunctioned' and had no other backup with her. The following class meeting she finally went and it was 100% a plagiarized project from someone else in the class but she threw in pictures of soldiers and really hammed up her prior service to the instructor that simped for boot dick.Comment too long.

In physical roles it's a waiting game, they all get injured and disappear one by one if you make them keep up pace with the men. Unfortunately that only happens to the good ones that give it their best shot. The lazy ones that get their hooks into some orbiter can really stick around for a long time slowing everyone down while the orbiter picks up the slack. Those ones are the worst because they still somehow retain their power fantasies and arrogance despite being the last one everyone's always waiting on. The dykes that become military truck drivers or something are kind of alright, even though the "male persona" they put on with the shaved hair, cursing like a sailor and overall acting like a stereotypical redneck man is funny.The girls that went for office duty from the start, photographers etc. were nice, level-headed and not delusional about their capabilities. Even this incredible tiny tomboy that had a background in sports and could keep up pace and pull her weight in places where girls twice her size petered out, eventually went for office duty. I liked her.Those were the young conscripts. Older woman officers seemed alright.
>>55324532Admin simp
>>55324766I've heard similar things from FDF guys. I think the IDF made some study about it and it found out the same thing, that in combat units you can't have women mixed with men, because it distracts the men. Playing hero etc. Maybe it would work with gays and women?
>>55315960From what I've seen, it's a violently mixed bag.Are there woman who are effective in the armed forces, and demonstrate the capabilities and aptitudes that make them equal to their male counterparts? Absolutely.However, for everyone of those Mary Sue, are there a thousand more base bunnies who are little more then diversity hires brought in to say that the army is more diverse? Also yes.Overall I think it's a bad idea.
