  1. So the Bradley's armor can stop two 30mm rounds from a weapon that fires, likes 600rpm. I'm no scientologist, but I think there is a very obvious solution to this problem of explosive reactive armor.

  3. They're obviously going with GD bc they're an American company.

  4. I'm not sure they're the same. A helicopter is probably the best tool for punching down, but they don't really do anything than a squadron of much cheaper drones.

  5. Sounds like bugs. Ick

  6. Cappy, you need a different editor. Whoever did this is including pictures of 75mm cannons when you're talking about 12.7mm MGs, BMP-1s when you're talking about BMP-3s. It's just bad. Fire him and get a new one that can tell the difference between a machine gun and a prototype AFV.

  7. This rifle is basically Star Wars VII; if you're gonna copy something, then the M-16 isn't a bad thing to copy. Good on them

  8. "Junta" is a Spanish word, so the "J" is an "H," like "Hoon-tuh."

  9. What? No! I want the goddamn Apache Block 3 (basically the Cheyenne II).

  11. This rifle looks so cool!

  12. The United States is designed to constantly be at war. Our government and economy are mechanically inclined towards pursuing and lengthening war. It doesn't necessarily need to be our men involved—preferably, it isn't—but we can sustain low-intensity conflicts indefinitely and could outlast anyone in a conventional conflict. Well, sort of. We don't build tanks like Germany or Russia and we don't build ships like China. Our aerospace and software is our biggest advantage. Also oil. We can engineer ridiculously expensive solutions that other countries couldn't conceive of

  13. We're so cooked. I can't believe the most uninformed voters decide who is in charge. It's fucking ridiculous.

  14. I still want to see the Pumas make their debut in Ukraine, to see how they compare with the Scandinavian IFVs

  15. Well, to be fair, it's a pretty good machine gun.

  16. "But it's from China so I doubt it works" is a dangerous thought. We shouldn't underestimate anyone.

  20.  @michaelzomsuv3631  We're fighting China, next. Capitalizing on technology and training is the only way they don't drown us in their own blood.

  21. Nope. This thing is gonna be put outside the wire and ppl gonna call it a piece of shit. Just like the humvee.

  22.    Bruh, you had me at dual 120mm mortars. Having learned about them in Wargame, I believe they're the best weapon ever devised, haha. But yeah, y'all make incredible medium vehicles.

  25. This equipment was never tested by people without super short necks.

  26. The sanctions announced today will destabilize Russia at all levels in the long term, resulting in a coup, as Russia often does. However, that won't save the ten thousand people who will die on Kyiv in the next week.

  27. How anyone can look at this and not see an APC is beyond me.

  28. Remember that time Russia got navally invaded by a country without a navy?

  29. I'm excited to see what the Army comes up with when the Air Force isn't jamming the shit a-10 down our throats.

  30. Yeah, as former Marine ADA, I know of this "basically infantry" thing.

  32. What is it about the Bradley that gives its occupants steel balls?

  33. ​ @antmanv05 no he's really not. We aren't going to have any allies left by the end of it.

  35. ​ @braveheart4603  It can't conventionally threaten Europe, but its capacity for hybrid warfare has been demonstrated time and time again. The Russian Empire needs to be broken up along ethnic boundaries and left to the people who live there; no more empires. Russia should be ruled by its people; not its elite. I have Russian friends who are good people. I know that it is their state that's sick. It has a sickness that we can cut out. Russians deserve to be free. Ukrainians deserve to be free. All people ought to be free. This is the way.

  36. YES! Is it an HMG or an autocannon?

  37. Okay, but does it put a big red arrow on the objective

  38. That's the most British thing I've ever heard.

  39. A 12 pound weapon? Is that with all of the accoutrements or without it because that's only a few pounds away from "it better be a fucking machine gun."

  40. Turkey is shit. The whole country is shit. Their planes, obviously, are shit. It can hang out with the Su-57.

  41. The Abrams is the best tank in the world for the US, but it would be harder to think of a worse "good" tank for most other countries.

  42. If these missiles can take out a carrier, then we've already lost the Pacific. It really is that simple; they only need one of them to defeat a CSG.

  43. Yes, that's one of three options, including railguns and lasers. There isn't anything fast enough, otherwise. Furthermore, even though we have lasers, they're too small. Kilowatts lasers just aren't enough to deal with these; we need gigawatt lasers to destroy targets moving this quickly.

  44. If it isn't the Somalian pirates, it's the Houthies.

  45. 12 pounds is too much for anyone that has to do dismounted manuevers a lot. The War on Terror was a weird time, but the fight we're preparing for will be with bombs, missiles, and artillery. All a rifle has to do is pin the enemy long enough for something big to show up.

  46. Wait...Ryan Routh? That sounds so familiar.

  47. Fuck, maybe the US should use these instead.

  48. Its the high/low concept. We do the same shit in america.

  49. Tikka Masala is absolutely a British dish just as much as General Tso's Chicken is an American dish.

  50.  @cherminatorDR  How do you think it's an improvement? How many rounds can a crew load and fire within a minute? Probably the same amount—if not slightly more—than a machine. But let's drag this out to hours and even days. I've seen how artillery operates and I've trained with them. They push themselves harder than anyone to maximize rate of fire, but it isn't enough. A machine will operate until it runs out of fuel [not a problem for the US logistics'] but a person becomes dangerous when they get tired. They get stupid. They crash vehicles and kill the wrong people. Look at Arty's fatalities in training and you'll notice it's significantly greater than anyone else bc they are too tired to safely operate the equipment after a couple days of intermittent naps. It's just bad. You could give those same gun crews an automatic gun system and then every man would be spending ⅓ the time crewing the weapon, letting them get rested. That's the real drawback of manual systems: you need more men to operate them. It isn't about speed, but sleep. Men need to sleep or they get stupid, and being stupid in war is the fastest way to get your boys killed.
