Am I missing something? Every single guntuber does this shit. They act like the 380 is just a dogshit cartridge that some Mugger-American will just shrug off, meanwhile they're sucking the dick clean off of the 22. Is there a particular reason or excuse for this? Or did one person say it years ago and they're all so fixated on copying one another that they never stopped to realize how fucking retarded it is.

>Clark, citing a presentation by Ukrainian soldiers, said the Russians use GPS spoofers to throw off the munitions.
>GPS spoofers work by sending false location data to GPS navigation devices. Because GPS signals are weak, a stronger, false signal can be sent to override the correct inputs. Russia has used GPS spoofing in Ukraine since at least 2018. But advancements in technology mean spoofers can be created cheaply with just a software-defined radio and open-source software.
>The weapons the spoofers are working against, meanwhile, are anything but cheap. A GMLRS missile costs around $160,000, while an Excalibur round can cost as much as $100,000. The GLDSB costs around $40,000.
I didn't know that Excalibur's were so expensive, at that price might as well but more GMLRS rounds for the HIMARS which have longer range:

>Japan doesn’t only build but also designs its own naval vessels and has since the 1880s. Japan’s navy is easily the second-most powerful expeditionary force in the world…the entire Japanese fleet is blue-water capable.
>It is Japan, not China, that boasts the world’s second most capable navy. It is that navy that is second only to the United States in the number of aircraft carriers floated (Japan claims those carriers are only for helicopters but that is, if you’ll forgive the repeat, just some more PR bullshit).
>Japan…has four aircraft carrier battle groups that can make it that far. The point is less that the Japanese would use carriers for convoy duty, and more that the Japanese could scrub Chinese naval power out of existence from Hormuz to Malacca with a minimum of fuss.
Zeihan on the RN:
>At each step the Queen Elizabeth carrier program had to re-justify itself and fight for funding anew. And now, with Brexit looming, they’re having to slim the rest of the naval force to keep their supercarrier program on track.
>Which means the Brits no longer have sufficient ships to protect their new supers once they are fully operational.
>The British Navy has atrophied so much for so long that it can no longer assemble two credible battlegroups and still defend Great Britain itself.
>For the Queen Elizabeths’ deployments, this is nothing short of a Charlie Foxtrot. The new British supercarriers dare not venture further away from shore than the reach of British air power, whether that air power be launched from the United Kingdom itself or from the territory of a trusted ally. Support ships can certainly be built up more quickly (and cheaply) than the supercarriers themselves, but ships don’t grow on trees. This will be the state of the British Navy for at least a decade. Probably two.

You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.
Some reputable retailers:

SNR: signal to noise ratio, the amount of signal the tube can make compared to the noise
EBI: equivalent background information, how much false image appears in the screen through which the actual image has to show, sort of a noise floor of sorts
Halo: How big the circle of bloom is around lights
Photocathode Sensitivity: How sensitive the photocathode is
LP Resolution: Line pair res of the center of the image as measure against a standardized chart
If one spec is shit it negates the rest, if you have a halo of 2.0 it kinda fucks on an EBI of 0.20 if you want to do any kind of shooting and it's all a balance game
The numbers to meet or beat are
EBI under 1, preferably under 0.6 being great, 0.1 is gucci
Halo under 1, anything under 0.7 is awesome
SNR, over 25 anything over 30 is gucci
Photocathode, 1900+ is pretty great, 2500+ is stellar
Resolution of 64+ is good, 72+ is gucci

https://apnews.com/article/brazil-amazon-migrants-adrift-africa-mauritania-2c98d960650b4e57f145884b3a5abceb
About two weeks ago, a fishing vessel off the coast of Brazil, near the Amazon river delta, finds a seemingly derelict boat drifting at the sea. The boat is full of dead bodies. Rotting bodies. Badly decomposing, like they have been on the seas for a months.
Coast guard and police are called, forensic investigations started.
The boat looks much like the boats used by coastal fishermen in Mali or Mauritania, at the North-western coast of Africa (pic kinda related, that's what you get if you google "mauritanian fishing boat").
It's 12 meters (39ft) long, has no engine or rudder. And not like "there has been an accident and they lost the rudder" but like "This boat has never had a rudder". It's a fucking row-boat.
On board there are 9 rotting bodies ...and 27 cellphones. Suggesting that originally there were a lot more people on board.
Best guess is that it used to be a migrant boat. They left the African coast trying to get to Canary Islands in the Atlantic. And they missed the Canaries. Current pushes them to south, out to the Atlantic.
Around 30 people trying to get to Canaries. That's Spanish soil. They can apply for asylum.
So they get on this dinky little rowboat, packed tight as sardines, and set off. Their navigational equipment? The Captain's old (non-waterproof) cellphone's GPS.
At best they have some kind of sail, at worst just oars. It doesn't take much of a storm to overshoot the Canaries.
They end in the mid-atlantic Doldrums... the calm belt. They have no engine. Food runs out. Water runs out. Scorching sun starts to take it's toll. People start dying.
At first they dump the bodies into the sea. Later, when they get too hungry, they ...don't dump the bodies.
Months later, a boat with only 9 rotting bodies washes on the coast of Brazil.

Keep in mind that while vampires are typically vulnerable to silver, garlic, and sunlight, they are also much faster and stronger than a typical human and are vastly more cunning and intelligent. They are also likely to prepare several layers of defenses in their hideouts.
According to reports available to the public, he was driving in Crimea when his car was struck with an Ukrainian missile.
Should I?
I tried to find information on roads, railways and bridges, but nothing I could find eliminated the possibility of an AFV chassis of 4+ metres width.
I thought maybe it was for rail transportability, yet loading gauges generally seem too narrow to carry many modern AFVs, so they would need to go by road anyway.
Sweden, for some reason, seems to be the exception, yet the widest loading gauge is still only 3.60 m, too small for many modern tanks.
Even heavy and superheavy tanks tend to be 'long' rather than 'wide', suggesting some kind of width limit.
If I was to describe a fictional vehicle as 13 or 14 ft wide, would that just be incredibly stupid for some practical reason?
Tanks:
>Leclerc: 3.60 m
>Abrams: 3.66 m
>Merkava: 3.72 m
>Leopard 2 2A6: 3.75 m
>T-72: 3.59 m
>T-90: 3.78 m (why so wide? sources vary)
>T-14 Armata: 3.50 m
Historical heavy and super-heavy tanks:
>IS-3: 3.15 m (9.85 m long)
>Maus: 3.71 m (188 tonnes)
>T-29 heavy tank: 3.80 m ("width over sandshields", whatever that means)
IFVs and misc:
>Bradley IFV: 3.60 m
>Puma IFV: 3.70 m (sources vary)
>ASCOD: 3.64 m
>BMP-3: 3.2 m
>PzH2000: 3.60 m.
For example, I think IF the Da Vinci tank could have a better propulsion source and uparmored with metal it could probably do well as a sort of mobile pillbox, especially given the artillery science of the time would be less suited to taking out something like it. It might need flat, dry terrain and possibly a revamp to mobility (could they have invented treads?), but assuming all that could be done I think it would be reasonable effective in its niche, but not a wonderweapon.

ITT: Noguns designing shitty guns in media
The US Air Force has awarded Sierra Nevada Corp a 13 billion USD contract to deliver its Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) aircraft fleet – a contract that is by far the largest program for the privately held company.
SNC beat out traditional prime contractor Boeing for the program, which will replace the current fleet of E-4B Nightwatch 'doomsday' planes. The award is notable as SNC, whose traditional programs have been smaller aircraft modifications, will likely modify Boeing’s own 747-8i aircraft for the fleet.
The cost-plus-incentive fee contract, with a fixed-price-incentive-firm target, includes an initial award of 59M USD. It covers the development and production of the SAOC Weapon System, including delivery of engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) aircraft, associated ground systems, production aircraft and interim customer support. Work is expected to be completed by July 2036.
In a statement, the Air Force said development of SAOC is critical to ensure the nuclear command, control and communications capability of the US. The commercial-derivative aircraft will be hardened and modified to meet military requirements. It will also integrate secure communications and planning capabilities with modern information technology.

>RFMD, AKA radio frequency mode 2. which means pitch,yaw,roll,throttle commands are sent 50 times a second (slow by FPV standards which go up to 1000 but allows greater range)

>the RSSI is still strong it can work up to -115dBm no problem so it's not an obstruction + he still has video

>he gets RXLOSS, command packets not being received. the drone slowly drifts down as it's programmed to slowly crash land in such a case
>as he drops the LQ comes back to 80+ at 0:40. presumably hes outside the jamming signal
>he has enough control to go bomb them.
my guess is either the jammer was far away over a hill or something so the moment he has trees,a hill between him and the jammer he can regain control. this also means if EW troops can triangulate the enemy jammers the FPV pilots can plan routes that are low to the ground to avoid the jamming signals.
it could also be that the people in the trench used a handheld jammer and assumed the drone crashed so they stopped prematurely.
also they are flying with some insanely good RF links, i connected to my quad on the bench next to me and had -35 dBM, when im flying its usually -60 to -100 dBm. they are using very high power gear with good directional antennas. the way to overcome this cant be one big jammer covering a large area but small drone detectors/minijammers for every soldier/squad/vehicle

Leather Armor: Made from hardened leather, offering basic protection against cuts and thrusts.
Padded Armor: Consisted of layers of cloth or felt, providing some protection against blunt force trauma and cuts.
Lamellar Armor: Constructed from small rectangular plates laced together, offering flexibility and moderate protection.
>Medium Armor:
Scale Armor: Comprised of metal scales attached to a backing material, providing good protection and flexibility.
Brigandine: Fabric armor lined with metal plates, offering moderate to good protection while maintaining flexibility.
Coat of Plates: Overlapping metal plates sewn between layers of fabric or leather.
>Heavy Armor:
Plate Armor: Full-body armor made of articulated metal plates, offering exceptional protection against all types of attacks.
Is such strategic escalation more sound before or after nukes start flying? Or at the same time?
