  1. Yeah, the ballistics computer designed for Swedish artillery in the mid 1990ies is housed in a flanged cast aluminium chassi, all of it's connectors are recessed or simple 2-lead copper wire push fit connectors. It can be dropped from 100ft onto a concrete slab and still work, it can also survive an EMP if it's properly grounded and can be hooked up to almost any radio set or even a twin lead phone line to recive data transmissions.

  6.  @rojalD  possibly, but the bow wave displacement is still a thing, and the heavier the vehicle, the more water is going to be pushed ahead, and thus the speed has to be proportionately lower. And here comes the real kicker: what do you think happens out on that ice about 60-120 seconds after a drone or recon team or aircraft spots all those slow moving heat sources out on the ice...

  9. Maps, compasses and inertia positioning systems re-zeroed and calibrated at every opportunity. Idk about the US Army, but my own country still keeps those old school systems around as backup and trains on them. Hell, I myself could use a pair of binoculars, a map, a compass, scale ruler, a grid paper, a clear plastic disc, a thermometer, a helium balloon on a string and the appropriate ballistics charts for the specific system and ammo availiable to calculate a meteorologically uncertain fire sollution for any form of tube artillery to hit within 100m of the intended target zone on the first ranging shot.

That's not insignificant... And then there's the railroad junctions in the area that are absolutely essential for heavy equipment and mass personel transports from Nöteborg region(aka. St. Petersburg) and Moskva region down to Rostov on Don and the whole Muskovite occupation zone in Ukraine, the detour via the southern Urals alone won't be enough to maintain Moskovite offensive operations in Ukraine, and the Moskovite road network is just as primitive outside the cities as it was in ww2😂

  21. Re serial numbers on munitions, those white propellant bags/rings also has printed ID numbers related to their manufacgurer, propellant batch, production line, time, date and the ammo crates should have a reference to the QC test of that batch of propellant. Because if there's a statistic anomaly deviation on a mortar shot, you want to know if it's a piece malfunction, crew ammo handling error, battery control handling error, propellant production error or FO/FCS firemission data error ASAP!

The most extreme ones were a number of J-35s that loved caves so much that the Scandian mountain range was no longer massive enough for them, so they emigrated south and founded an alpine cave habitat in Austria!🥲 The JAS-39s seem to be a bit less picky with it's nesting sites and has been seen nesting in multiple places in central Europe, a temporary colony was even found in southern Italy and members of that colony was even spotted flying as far south as Libya almost a decade ago, and some subspecies of the JAS-39 seems to have taken a liking to warmer, wetter climates as they have also been seen breeding in Brazil!😳

Saw a mine effect demo at Ravlunda once, the defense munition 13 and 13R sure as hell didn't leave much more than perforated scrap of the metal dumpsters, junk cars or plastic water barrels used to represent a soft skin and APC column with crews... (For non Swedish viewers, the Swedish defense munition 13 and 13R(reduced) are claymore type command detonated mines of 21kg and 12kg respectively, while the US M18 claymore is around 1kg... The 13R also has multiple blasting cap sockets to be easily daisy-chained or fitted with more than one method of ignition both are often mixed with Anti-vehicle mine 14 which is a tree mounted EFP mine)

Imo, youtube should not be legally permitted to insert ads at all on demonetised videos, and they should be legally forced to disclose exactly why a video is to be demonetised, with time stamp and descriptive references in such detail that it allows the creator to adapt and avoid that specific reason for demonetisation going forward. The laws for copyright infringement resolution also needs to be amended to have ad revenue held in escrow for the duration a video is copyright contested and the claimant should be required to provide verifiable positive evidence to support their claim within 30 days or get the claim thrown out and get a 1/3 flag towards beeing banned as a vexatious claimant. On the third false claim, the claimant should be blocked and all the creators wrongly claimed should be notified of how to press charges for attempted wire fraud against the vexatious claimant.

  48. While I agree that the M2 Bradley and it's variant IFVs are no slouches, and generally appear better than the Brittish Warrior, I'd still say the CV90 family is the current reigning champion of tracked, pure bred IFVs. Merkavas are an extreme specialization case similiar to how the Strv 103 was uniquely specialized for a defence in depth strategy over very mixed, often broken and heavily forested terrain with unhealthy amount of water features from a tankers perspective.

  60. ​ @RyanMcBethProgramming not really, the AT4 is a single shot RPG that burns itself out in the launch tube just like the old bazooka. It's warhead is almost identical in shape to the HEAT warhead for the RPG7 with a differently shaped propellant section. The shells of the CG on the other hand looks more like old artillery shells. The HEDP is shaped like that of a ww1 era FRAG artillery shell, the HEAT round of the CG is shaped like an oversized handgun wadcutter round with a 4" stand-off fuse probe sticking out the front. The smoke and illumination rounds have the same shape as the HEDP round but different weights and markings. As long as the person using them knows how to do it correctly and safely however, it doesn't really matter when incorrect terms for various man portable AT-weapons/shoulder fired field artillery is used interchangeably in general conversation 😉

  77. The biggest caliber autocannon with a seriously scary firing rate I'm aware of was a 155mm gun using single piece brass cartridge ammo and mounted on a stretched and back to front S-tank chassi. It was loaded by crane with 14 round clips from a flatbed ammo truck... And it could expend one of those clips in 45 seconds out to 25km.
    2
  78.  @jannegrey  it was classed as a self propelled cannon as it used fixed load propellant and had too limited elevation to count as a Howitzer. Both are forms of artillery And I completely agree that larger autocannons are neither physically or logistically feasible. Especially not compared to rocket artillery.

  85. At my first civilian job, I learned that around the turn of the 19th->20th century, the locals from the Eastern parts of that costal city used to be almost unable to understand the locals from the Western parts... The reason for this was that the local economy revolved around three things: fairly wealthy inland farmers, and costal workers living off summer time fishing, mostly with nets and cage traps, and winter time harvest of sea weed that they sold as winter cattle feed and fertilizer to the farmers. Each costal worker had his home, his fishing hut, his boat, his jetty and his fishing waters all in a narrow corridor perpendicular to the beach, and so was the farmers they sold the sea weed to which means that any neighbour they weren't related to or trusted friends with was a cutthroat competitor and the primary suspect for damaged tools or lost catch regardless of seals or other possible natural causes... Thus, you didn't speak to the bastards over there unless you were forced to. Period.

  100. ​ @Yukimaru0  sounds like they took a lesson from Sweden, Finland and Norway. As in, from 1930ies up until the mid 1990ies, Sweden had a bomb shelter subsidy system for property owners, as well as a bomb shelter mandate for appartment/condo buildings and municipal buildings. You won't find a public library, culture center, city/town/village hall, post ww2 church, shopping mall, health clinic, hospital, senior citizen care facility, public baths, sports centre or mass transit hub without some kind of old bomb shelter, either through a hardened ground floor/basement structure with heavy blast doors recessed into the walls with or without quick-removable cosmetic concealement to be out of the way in peace time. (Public bomb shelters are marked on the outside of the buildings by a square sign of a, point up, blue like sided triangle inside an orange square. And then on top of that, there are actual bedrock bunker facilities all under the major cities with access shafts hidden in plain sight in subway stations, utility structures, public service buildings etc. Enough to protect the entire civilian population at the time from an invasions first strike until preset evacuation protocols could be safely initiated. Many critical companies also have significant parts of their production facilities in NBC protected bedrock facilities with entrances rated to deflect and shrug off any value proportional ground zero nuclear detonations and EMP without serious interruptions to their work. And then there's the military and government war cabinet command, navy and airbase bedrock bunkers on top of that, all of them also CBRN sealed and nuclear blast safe with multiple redundancies as well, and, for when turtling up won't work any longer, there were dispersal protocols for everything. All three countries, both in civilian and military aspects, structured from the ground water table to low sattelite orbit, to be ever ready to face a soviet invasion in a nation wide defense in depth with the last section of every Swedish phone book, titled "If war Comes" declaring EVERY MESSAGE SUGGESTING RESISTANCE SHOULD STOP IS TO BE TREATED AS FALSE! Meaning the govt can't negotiate surrender as long as there were uncaptured invader troops on Swedish soil as any order to stand down would be ignored by every patriotic civilian and every still combat able member of the armed forces, and with the way the Scandinavian conscript cadre systems were designed, the armed forces would consist of 10<%of the Total population! [10% was in Sweden in the late 1980ies with 8million total population], I expect Finland and Norway to have higher percentages, Norway due to a smaller population, Finland due to both smaller population and cultural mentality.

  139. Interesting, in my own country, the first beret wearing unit were the tankers, and they have always had a black one. The special forces units got theirs later, dark navy blue for costal jaegers and assault divers, Green for army, mountain and para jaegers, and the baby blue for UN volounteers. UN volounteers had to have the same conscript graduation grades as applicants to the Officers academy to qualify: 9.7.7. (Dicipline and conduct/soldier skills/leadership and initiative) on a 0-9 scale where 7.5.5. was the minimum score for placement in the domestic mobilisation reserves.

Then again, the C-130 Hercules can land on grass fields, the JAS 39 is made to STOL on straight enough stretches of country roads... And the other planes in use are either trainers with similiar airfield requirements to the JAS 39, An AWACS analog in a civilian turboprop airframe that's no worse off than the C-130 or rotary wing aircraft that just dgaf about any obstruction smaller than an ATV.

  155. ​ @grandgibbon2071  and as for Finland, almost a third of their total population is trained army reserves that would be ready to go with only a couple of weeks of refresher training, with stockpiled weapons and ammo for up to a year of delaying actions and counter attacks while there is also maintained bomb shelters on standby for the rest under every public building, every appartment complex, subway station, movie theatre, shopping mall, almost half of their critical industry are ready to transfer into or already set up in bedrock bunker complexes. And many of the civilians not placed in the combat reserves are trained for duties in the civil defense. And also, every Finnish bridge, harbour, highway and runway are built with demolition compartments ready to be loaded and detonated by local defense militia if ordered, militia that is regularly tested for mobilization readyness of less than 6h from beeing alerted at their civilian job to beeing deployed on station. The system is similiar in the baltic states, and used to be in Sweden too, but there it got dismantled in the 90ies and 00s and is under reconstruction and rearmament since 2010 with the pace of it forced drastically each year since 2014.

  170.  @mh-ht2fp  some missiles can, most can't, it's all about where the missile is guided from at different stages of the flight, how that guidance data reaches and is processed in the missile, and finally, the steering and propulsion systems of the missile itself. 1) eg. Separate ground radar vs airborne radar, radar network vs single unit, internal Radar vs IR vs Optic vs gps/glonass vs gyrocompass 2) laser beam riding vs wire vs tight beam radio vs closed internal guidance. 3) actuated fins vs thrust vectoring vs set number of solid fuel steering rockets and if/in what combinations.

  178. When I did my conscript training (european country) as a radio specialist in a towed 12cm mortar platoon in 2004, we were trained on and carried ballistic charts, plotting tables and the other gear required to get those shells out manually if the ballistics computer broke down, we even had 1930s dual conductor field telephones with us that we could connect to old school field phone networks or lay our own, in case radio coms fail. Nowdays, in the exact same role but in a defence militia mortar platoon, for the same m/41 12cm mortar pieces we still bring a more compact version of that manual equipment, and the same ~90yo flawlessly operational field telephones in the field as last resort backup.

There's also a somewhat lesser production rate and thus longer delivery times.
