  1. that would never happen. germans might forget where they put a torpedo or two but they never forget where they put the beer.

  2. I'm an engineer and I can tell you a bolt is a bolt and not a screw and most bolts have no threading. but it's true that in english there is no word for a screw bolt. maybe english speakers should just call it screwbolt if they mean a bolt with thread.

  3. german U boat crews never gave a fuck about discipline. you never watched Das Boot? it's tradition. they don't even call their commander by his rank or name but rather just 'Der Alte' "the old one", they also don't shave because of superstition and many more odd tradition.

  4. good luck finding and then actually hitting one of the smallest vehicles in existence. not to mention that it is extremely fast and nimble. if your "RPG", that can hardly hit a barn door at point blank, isn't made out of magic dust then I don't know how it could ever take out just one wiesel. the germans used wiesel in somalia in the 90's, the balkans and afghanistan and not a single wiesel was ever hit by an RPG.

  5.  @leneanderthalien  Taurus has an un official range of 700km. the official range is 500+km

  6. this is not a light tank nor does it compete against MBT and the 20 mm is not taken out of service but upgraded.

  8.  @wigon  maybe you don't get the concept here but if you want to slug it out with the enemy then you need a tank. this is a small weapons carrier. if you would add armor to the point where this is invincible then it would be a 60 ton tank. but you might want to a a APS, but since that thing is so small almost nobody would be able to hit it with an RPG anyway. you can't hit shit with an RPG on a good day much less a go cars moving around most of the time. germany deployed the Wiesel from afghanistan to africa and never did they lose even one wiesel to enemy fire.

  9. True, the Royal mountain leaders are an amateur troop, the british don't even have mountain units and have to be trained by the french and germans

  10. every sub has 2 full crews in the german navy on top of responsible officers and instructors on shore. that makes 80 submariners per sub. they probably just misspoke.

  13. german hybrid sub like this are much more quieter than russian subs. russia has no technology comparable to this.

  14. You really have no idea.

  15. the company that builds the swedishs and norwegian subs is a german company and they also build this sub. but some technology is not for export outside of germany. so you never know because these things are classified.

  16. nope. german navy personnel are called Marine Soldaten (marine soldiers). Soldier comes from latin solidus (coin), meaning getting paid for military work.

  17.  @MartinInAmsterdam  A real engineer should know that as in english, most other languages have conflicting definitions of what these words mean and there is no ultimate semantic definition. the important engineering distinction between screws (with or without nuts) and bolts (with or without threads) is that a screw connects parts using 'frictional connection' by only using it's threads and the screwing motion to create a normal force pushing together the two parts causing enough friction between them to restrict movement. whereas bolts use 'form fit' as connection method where the bolt itself takes all the shear forces and surface/flank pressure just like rivets. Of course there are idiots, including fellow engineers, who think a machine screw with a nut is called a bolt by most people and therefore can be used as a bolt for form fit connections which usually ends in disaster since the sharp edged threads of the screw creates a material weakness and shearing forces easily destroys the screw since a screw is not meant to take shearing forces or surface/flank pressure at all.

  18. because a smaller sub is more difficult to detect for an enemy and the smaller the sub the closer to the coast it can maneuver for surveillance or special operations.

  19. subaminers always had lax discipline. didn't stop them in ww2 and doesn't stop them now. it's tradition.

  20. on the german ship they are called soldiers. soldier means someone who is payed for military work. that's what that word means. just because the US makes up ship about what to call what doesn't mean every country has to do that. if there are errors on what to call what then don't get uptight, man up.

  21. Horrible, this is not farming, it's soul crushing industry where normal people don't own anything anymore. Just wage slaves to 1000 hectare land owning companies or "contractors" and the machines are so full of computer chips that if an EMP strikes (for example from a solar flare hitting earth) humanity can't feed itself anymore because all the electronics will fail and nothing works anymore.

  22. The EU members ships are not the problem since there are strickt quotas for sustained fishing in europe. The real problem are the non EU ships who really just rape the ocean for all it's worth.

  23. good luck finding and then actually hitting one of the smallest vehicles in existence. not to mention that it is extremely fast and nimble. if your "heat shell" isn't made out of magic dust then I don't know how it could ever take out just one wiesel.

  24.  @stonerloner668  I really would like to know how you would even find the wiesel, a vehicle known to become invisible behind every little hedge, vanish in every little pit and trench, so small it's easily overlooked even when on full display, known to be as silent as an electric car so much so that it regularly freaks out their own soldiers when driving past because you just can't hear it coming until you get almost run over, giving off next to no heat signature thanks to it's efficient diesel commercial car engine, very difficult to find even with thermal imaging. but let's say you spotted one under battlefield conditions and distances, you spotted one wiesel that didn't spot you first with all it's advanced optics and you got one shot free, I'm sure you can shoot RPGs, known to not be able to hit a circus tent from the inside, over even just a medium distance, at a target as small as 1/8 of a normal tank and usually driving like a bat out of hell all over the place and in and out of cover. do you want to use jedi mind control on the RPG grenade to make it follow the wiesel as if by magic? you must be a wizard then. I can only applaud your military knowledge and insight and your impressive magic forces. really impressive.

  26.  @lushhclub819  Cook not Cookson.. you got the name wrong and you got the propaganda wrong.. "In 2014, Russia's state-run news media outlets ran a series of reports that falsely asserted that during that incident the Su-24, equipped with the Khibiny electronic warfare system, had disabled the ship's Aegis combat systems. The misinformation was later picked up by the British tabloid The Sun and by Fox News, and later reported as Russian propaganda by The New York Times.[11]"

  30.  @JeffSpehar-ov1cn  only in the US and some others. it's completely arbitrary. nobody sails anymore but military personnel still gets paid for military work. so they are all soldiers. in most non stupid countries anyway.

  31. yes because in other languages all soldiers are called soldiers and nobody sails anymore.

  32.  @LanielPhoto  "German "salar"." I'm going to quote trump here "WROOOONG". in german "sailors" are Soldaten or Marine Soldaten. salar isn't even a word in german... the word soldier comes from latin solidus which everyone who had some latin at school should know. through some iterations that became soldier meaning someone who gets paid for military work. so most countries don't have an official or even unofficial "nick" name for all marine soldiers. words like matelot, marinero or Matrose and similar usually only mean enlisted soldiers in the navy or is no longer in common use at all. also me thinks marinero is the wrong spanish word. it should be marino militares. here a quote from wikipedia "A soldier is one who fights as part of a military. A soldier can be a conscripted or volunteer enlisted person, a non-commissioned officer, or an officer. In other definition, soldiers are military personnel that participate in ground, sea, or air forces, commonly known as armies, navies, and air forces, respectively." must be strange for a mono language speaker that you can't translate everything one to one so that's why I told you. instead of taking that advice you come back with this passive aggressive insult laden comment. so please kindly fuck off.

  35. if you can't find it you can't shoot it and actually hitting it is another question on top of that so you wasted 2 million on your torpedo that doesn't work. also this sub can operate in open ocean as well. they can stay submerged for the entirety of an atlantic crossing, no problem.

  36.  @buckshot704  the type 212 can also stay "under" for weeks. none of the subs you listed (all 1980's tech compared to this 2000 tech) even have a fighting chance against this sub. the type 212 is much smaller and quieter. unlike nuclear subs that are huge and therefore need bigger and nosier propulsion as well as being easier to detect with active or passive sonar and have to use cooling pumps for their reactors which just adds more noise and leaves a thermal trace because of the heat from the reactor, the type 212 is dead silent, no pumps, small propulsion, no thermal trace and it can go where large subs can't go to hide or ambush. there is a video from the german navy on youtube where they show that the british navy can't find this sub during exercise. this is the most modern and best sub in the world at the moment. PS did you really write "hydrogen peroxide fuel" face palm you clearly know your stuff, glad I talked too you. it's not like I waste my time here talking to an expert like you^^ PPS your initial argument was that a 2 million torpedo can destroy this 400 million sub, well guess how many billions a nuclear subs costs you brainiac... some people don't ever use their brain. unbelievable.

  40. the track pressure is already extremely low, so no need for wider tracks.

  41. it's 8 subs at the moment and 10 in the future. they are small precisely to be undetectable and work in litoral waters. diving speed doesn't matter since these boats stay submerched for week on end anyway. if you want to know the no. of ships in the german navy then just use wikipedia instead of asking passive agressive questions.

  44. all submarines can only operate for so long. even nuclear subs run out of food after a couple of weeks. you are just unrealistic. this hybrid system allows quiet electric subs to work for weeks instead of days or hours.

  45. simple. use some AIP U-Boots to sink the US supply ships, they are old, not many of them and they have no real defence systems. Then the US navy can sail rings around america but not much further. How is that for your dossier?

  49. it's called 'conservative estimate'. 10 tonnes is the maximum force possible so it must hold 10 tonnes. doing some calculator tricks and guesstimation of angles is not a secure way of doing thing. especially since the 5 tonnes are already a guesstimation. only an idiot would do L=2T*cos(theta/2) and write down 3 digits after the decimal when force and angle are not even known. that's the difference between thinking you are smart and actually being smart.

  50.  @gregparrott  you really don't know anything about the real world do you. I'm an aerospace engineer and even I would never in my wildest dream come up with the idea to do vector algebra when towing a truck or writing the manual for soldiers on how to tow a truck. what a brain dead moron would do such a thing? only someone who has never been outside. if they estimate they need 5 tonnes of force (I hope that doesn't trigger you already) and they use a pulley, then the force expected would be 10 tonnes even if there might or might not be a small angle somewhere. you get that now? do you see any programming or smartphones needed in my calculations? can there anything go wrong with this conservative approach? do you ever wonder why modern shit designed by engineers fails all the time whereas roman bridges and medieval town are still going strong? there is an entire world between being educated and being smart. unfortunately you have to be smart to realize that.
