Philippine F16 deal
f-16
This deal they're offering to the Philippines is almost F35 expensive isn't it? But I guess it comes with everything else and not just the F16s themselves.
If you were the Philippines would you take the deal? IIRC they basically only have shitty FA50s at the moment.

Remington_Model_8_Semiauto_Rifle-NMAH-AHB2015q114741
Why aren't semi autos more popular for hunting? We had the remington model 8 in .35 rem and the winchester 1907 .351 WSL which are both adequate durr rounds back in 1905/1907. That would have been after 1903 when the NRA started selling 1903s and possibly after the 1892 krag and .30-40 army hit the surplus market but well before the inflection point of WWI when all the conscripts were trained on bolt guns and the market was flooded with WWI surplus bolt guns and ammo
Were the semi autos just too expensive and heavy compared to the surplus rifles? I think only PA and like one other state actually have laws against semi auto hunting

Can /k/ explain to me why this SHORAD system with seemingly high specifications is unable to shoot down basic drones (webm related)? Why is it so shit?

Why are multiple Russian radars unable to spot these little guys? I know that Russians always lie, they always cut corners, but for the sake of the argument, let's take Russian claims at face value.

>1L125 Niobium-SV
From what I gathered from various slavic runes sites about radars, this bitch is essentially Nebo-M's export version 55Zh6ME, but modified by Russian Aerospace Forces for their own use. I assume it has roughly the same specs as Nebo-M. Some sources claim that the Niobium-SV is solely for the use of air defense brigades.

Nebo-M's manufacturer claims that the radar is able to see and target F-22 and F-35. They also claim, per wiki, that Nebo-M can exchange targeting information Pantsir, S-300, and S-400 or others in order to guide them towards threats. So why can't this modified Nebo-M spot a little drone?

>Pechora-3
I have no clue what this radar is. I don't think that it has anything to do with S-125 system. I'd love to know more about this one.

>59N6-E Protivnik-GE
This is an older radar array, developed in late 90's, that can work as part of the Nebo-M radar system. It can also interface with S-3/400 and Pantsir. It's AESA, it's either D/L-band depending on who's writing the specs, it can lock on to satellites, it's a fucking wunderwaffe. Here's what one source had to say:
>"The radar has a high degree of measurement process automatization and a high-resolution under intensive countermeasures. There are air route data processing, secondary air traffic control radar and suitable interface to any automatic control systems. Automatic diagnostics, monitoring and fault finding system are the features of this radar. The automatic mode of operation is also possible. Air search coverage of the radar extends to 200 km in height, i.e. this radar can discover satellites into the near orbit."

Great news /k/,
You now have a low ranking government position dealing with weapon contracts, a US warehouse, and a staff of 10 people.
You have been given a $5,000,000 budget to add gear that will dramatically increase the performance of up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers that are mostly already kitted and veteran. You may choose to supply as few as 500 instead to provide more $$$ per soldier. The soldiers can receive up to 1 month of training related to the gear. >Due to specific budget justifications: all products must be commercially available and American produced (has to at least have the assembled in america sticker).

Some Chad from Kentucky personally killed 40 bongs and held off a column of bongs during the battel of new orleans. apparently Future President Jackson had the militia men screened for marksmanship and assigned the shittier shooters to be reloaders for the better shooters so the better marksmen could fire basically continuously
https://ky.ng.mil/News/Article/2615858/the-legend-of-kentuckys-lone-marksman-at-the-battle-of-new-orleans/
>An estimated 2,700 Kentuckians served under Gen. Andrew Jackson against the British Army in the Battle of New Orleans, Jan. 8, 1815. 2019 marks the 204th anniversary of the last battle of the War of 1812. (Courtesy Photo) January 8, 2019, marks the 204th Anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans, considered by many as the last battle of the War of 1812. Though never becoming a Federal holiday, the eighth of January, was for many years celebrated across the country, with commemorations and firing of salutes in honor of the great American victory over the British. On October 14, 1814, Kentucky Governor Isaac Shelby issued a call for men to join Gen. Andrew Jackson’s command for the New Orleans campaign, and under that call three regiments of Kentucky Detached Militia were brought into the field and organized, namely: Lt. Col. Gabriel Slaughter's Regiment; Lt. Col. Presley Gray's Regiment, who resigned and was succeeded by Lt. Col. John Davis; and William Mitchusson's Regiment, resigned and succeeded by Lt. Col. Samuel Parker. These troops were commanded by Maj. Gen. John Thomas, with Brig. Gen. John Adair as his Adjutant General. The total strength of the Kentucky militia raised for the New Orleans campaign was 2,256. To these must be added the officers and men of the Seventh Regiment of United States Infantry (who were recruited in Kentucky), at that time 465-strong, bringing the grand total of Kentucky troops up to 2,721. Of these troops, 1,640 were on the firing line, and engaged in the Battle of New Orleans.

Italian tankettes repurposed
italiantankette
So, while I was sitting and staring at the walls of an insane asylum for the last 3 1/2 weeks; it occured to me how Italian tankettes could have been completely repurposed during ww2 to be very useful.

Basically, the tank remains unchanged for one minor change, the addition of a forward mounted morter, cooling water, and box of ammo. Repurposing dozens of tanks, in such a manner, allows for the rapid deloyment of closein antipersonal artillery in a massed with dozens of tanks in a single location, allowing either breakthroughs where infanty are entrenched or to break up infantry advances, all at minimal risk to the tankettes and their crews; all while allowing the repurposing of equipment that would otherwise be obsolete, to become equipment that can completely change a tactical picture, allowing either breakthrough or defense, before rapidly moving to another location, enmass.

Thoughts?

deagle
deagles
Desert Eagle thread. I used to own an IWI one in 357, it was awesome. I regret selling it... I want to buy a new one.
1. are the USA-Kahr made ones better or worse than IWI made?
2. Is it just me, or is there no SKU for 357 stainless? I only see the two brushed chrome SKUs. Does the chrome hold up?
3. Who makes the best shoulder holsters?

post your deagles if you have one. also, the manual lies about having to shoot the right ammo out of it and use a certain stance for proper function. at least for my old 357 one, I couldn't find any ammo it didn't like, and I could shoot it sloppily with one hand & it wouldn't jam either. Maybe the 44/50 ones are more picky?

FCAS: time for a clear cut
1750792018465
>The head of French aircraft manufacturer Dassault, Eric Trappier, has repeatedly pointed out in the past that his company is capable of building the fighter aircraft for the trilateral Future Combat Air System (FCAS) flagship project on its own. At the beginning of the Paris Air Show last week, he called for FCAS to focus more strongly on the fighter and for French industry to play a greater role in the project, thereby calling into question existing agreements regarding the division of labor. Alternatively, he hinted at pulling out of the program.

>If you put yourself in Trappier's position, his demands make perfect sense. Why should Dassault share the know-how yet to be developed for 6th generation fighter aircraft with Airbus on the basis of an inefficient and complex set of rules laid down in seven so-called pillars? Why invest time and effort in coordinating the FCAS project when the order books for the Rafale fighter jet are full to bursting and the development of a new generation of the aircraft plus a companion combat drone has already been commissioned by the French Ministry of Defense?

>On this side of the Rhine, Dassault's announcement should be understood correctly: Dassault wants clear leadership at FCAS and would otherwise - as the past few years have shown - keep shooting crossways or dropping out. A sensible product cannot be developed in this way.

How it works:
https://youtu.be/KIxsnh2fFTo [Embed]

To make an AR-15 super safe you'll need:

>H3 or H2 buffer weight (will do 600-750 rpm of 5.56)
>"low shelf" lower receiver
>SS

14.5x114mm SABOT vs .58 Caliber Minie
Not to size
What would the big differences be between a 14.5x114m SABOT round and a .58 Cal Minie ball when it comes to soft targets?
I know the .58 wouldn't penetrate armor near as well (if at all), but I'm not sure if it'd do more or less damage v. soft tissue.

Context; considering the viability of an ACW mod for Halo MCC, and want to get an idea of what rifled musket damage would/should be. Sniper ammo seems the nearest and most suitable match.

Ruger 10/22
1022
Is a 10/22 a must have firearm? I was recently talking about guns with an extended family member at a party and he said that the 10/22 was not only the best first gun a man could buy, but also a practically indestructable tool for training and survival. He even claimed it was the only .22LR you could dry fire all day long without damaging it. I've been into guns for a few years now, but I've never even shot one of these. Am I missing out? is this really worth dropping $400 on?

Anyone else like constantly want to change/modify their guns that work fine? I feel like I always want to change the sights on my .22 even though it has aftermarket sights that I know I will like better than any other sights I can put on it. It's like I keep getting tempted to consume accessories I don't need that would be annoying to put on (because I'd have to take off other stuff) and would not make my shooting experience better

four old timey rifle things

1. I find it odd that the colt lightnings were so fucking unpopular when later pump action rimfires were extremely popular and the 1873 and 1892 were so popular. I've heard that modern reproductions have a jamming problems. Is that due to the modern reproductions or modern ammo are different or is that a problem inherent to the gun?

2. Also why the fuck does like uberti make the only 1873 repro in .44 mag? no one else does it and it's only one model. isn't the 1873 action too weak for .44 mag?

3. The 1892 sold 1 million rifles before it got discontinued from 1945-2013. How did it sell that many rifles when the 1894 in .30-30 was only 3 years away? Were they mostly being sold in like South America? Was smokeless .44-40 that much better than black powder .44-40? how could you even make and sell smokeless .44-40 without having to worry about blowing out older 1873 and 1866 rifles?

4. how were they able to make 1866s in .44-40? I thought the whole point of the 1873 was that they switched from gun metal to steel to contain the stronger .44WCF round

a couple of minor things that don't really matter, is he seemed to get confused between .44 henry rimfire, .44 WCF and .45-70/.45-55-405
in terms of the cartridge long guns
.44 henry rimfire was a rimfire round used in the 1860 henry rifle and 1866 winchester rifle. .44WCF or .44-40 is a centerfire round use in the 1866 winchester rifle and 1873 winchester rifle .45-70 is the round used in the trapdoor springfields the American troops would have had and they specifically would have been shooting the carbine .45-55-405 loads or .45 cal, 55 grains of black powder 405 grain lead alloy bullet. when you read black powder rounds the first number is caliber, second is grains of black powder and if there is a third number it's the bullet weight in grains.
Custard had a remington rolling block in .50-90 sharps which would have been a bigger round than the carbines the regular troops were using
It's pretty cool that they could track the individual guns as they moved around the battlefield

New Frigate for the Peruvian Navy
HD현대중공업 - 수출 세계 무대에서 활약하는 K-함정 [--4AmSAVYBs - 1905x530 - 1m24s]
>At SITDEF 2025, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries unveiled the HDF-3600 frigate, an upgraded model tailored for the Peruvian Navy’s next-generation missile frigate requirements, replacing the previously showcased HDF-3200. Based on the Ulsan Block III class (like the ROKS Chungnam, delivered to South Korea in December 2024), the HDF-3600 is a 3,600-ton, 130-meter-long, 15-meter-wide frigate with a stealth design minimizing radar, infrared, and acoustic signatures. It features a CODAD diesel propulsion system (potentially reducing its 30-knot maximum speed), a South Korean Integrated Sensor Mast with a four-plane AESA radar for 360-degree multi-target tracking, and a 16-cell Korean Vertical Launching System (KVLS) behind a 76mm gun. Additional armaments include two 12.7mm remote weapon stations, eight anti-ship missile containers, triple Tiger Hawk torpedo launchers, a CIWS II with a 30mm or 40mm cannon, and advanced sonar and electronic countermeasures, with provisions for RHIB boats or additional torpedoes, making it the first Latin American ship with such an advanced integrated mast.

What's your take on the new flagship of the Peruvian Navy?

It would be a good time to invest in hesco walling in storage containers on your homestead property. They just werk for fortification if you have a family you could easily setup a secure base. Not even 50 cal would penetrate it. To get a 500sqft perimeter it wouldnt even cost more than $2500 if you have your own tractor

You'd need a tractor to fill them, and your fucking house would look a god damn military base, but it would be secure. Just have someone patrol at night with thermal binocs with a ladder at each 4 corners with a combat rifle and plenty of ammo. You could realistically get away with 3 people in the apocalypse.

Is there really any reason not to do this? Even if you live somewhere green, just use green hescos from china.

>The PL-15 is at the very least leveling the playing field and in some cases, posing problems that put the United States at a range disadvantage with AMRAAM,” Bronk adds. Indeed, the appearance of the PL-15 has already contributed to a rush from the U.S. side to push for longer-range AAMs, like the AIM-260 and AIM-174B.
>The PL-15 should also be characterized by the advantages of its AESA seeker, Bronk notes. “Just based on the physics of an AESA seeker versus a mechanically scanned seeker or a fixed PESA-type seeker, it should be higher resolution, more resistant to ECM, and work better in jamming environments.” Beyond that, it likely has a better ability to home in on stealth targets.
>The Chinese, for a long time, were essentially followers and were either customers for Russian weapons or were essentially producing clones of Western systems as best they could, whether that be Python clones, Sidewinder clones, or Sparrow clones,” Bronk continues. “The PL-15 is different, and so it represents a significant maturation of the Chinese industrial and research and development base.” Meanwhile, the PL-15 is just one of several Chinese AAM programs that are looking at very long-range performance in particular. While continuing to develop and improve its AAMs, China is also able to produce them in large quantities.
Why nobody else tried installing AESA seekers onto AAMs before?:

Could the radars on some active protection systems be expanded and used simultaneously for 360-degree ground/sky scanning? Imagine if instead of say, a loader, there was a crewman whose job is to monitor ground and aerial movements to which he is alerted with notifications, perhaps even with a camera feed of the detected area (this is a little radical). In the case of slow-moving aerial threats like muhdrones, he could authorize firing at it, like a CIWS, or maybe even use the radar as a directed energy weapon.

Trophy already tracks the predicted origin of intercepted missiles and markets itself as a comprehensive protection and situational awareness solution, but I don't think it tracks anything pre-interception.

There's just something so alluring about the idea of self-defense vs. criminality. On the one hand, it seems like a cut and dry story about a good and innocent, hard-working person defending their life and property from a miscreant trying to take for their own selfish gain. But on the other hand, you have a story of the essence of humanity. It's the story of war that goes back thousands of years, two forces battling against each other, ready to put everything on the line to defend their values. Does it not set your heart aflutter to think of the circumstances of which to turn seemingly normal men into beasts of prey? To turn a normal day laborer, husband or father into a warrior? Or to turn a mere ne'er-do-well mired in banal vices into a ruffian, a pillager of the modern era? To have the red strings of fate gnarled so suddenly, and for the shears to rear its blade so close to the threads?
