Also anyone have suggestions for running, i'm having trouble breaking the 5 minute mile run which i know is already incredibly fast and only like 1% of people who run can do it but i can only hold 12mph for about 3-4 minutes and i need to make it to the 5 minute mark.

The Elefant's origin story always cracks me up.

>The drone in question is believed to be of Israeli origin, along with its data link and ground control station. Despite having an encrypted data link, the PLA still managed to take over its controls. This raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of existing encryption measures and the risks of relying on foreign technology in critical defense systems. Furthermore, this event underscores the pressing need for India to reassess its dependence on imported UAV technology and strengthen its security measures.
>China’s familiarity with Israeli UAV technology is not new. In fact, during the 1980s and 1990s, Israel’s drone technology played a crucial role in shaping China’s early UAV programs. Although China now leads in drone manufacturing with advanced systems like the Wing Loong and CH-series, much of its foundational UAV knowledge originates from Israeli technology. This long history of exposure gives China a strategic advantage in understanding and potentially exploiting vulnerabilities in similar systems used by other nations.
>During the 1990s, China acquired Harpy drones from Israel. However, after facing U.S. pressure, Israel recalled these drones. China later developed the ASN-301, which experts widely believe to be a reverse-engineered version of the Harpy. This demonstrates China’s deep understanding of Israeli UAV technology.
Anyone who bought UAVs from Israel is fucked: https://alphadefense.in/index.php/2025/03/25/china-control-indian-army-drone-security-flaw/

There are three new nuclear projects: DDX-N, CV-N, and SS-N. The nuclear carrier will be for GCAP – which will be assembled in Italy. I don't know anything interesting about the nuclear sub yet.
2. New LHD
Three new LXD will be built from 2029/2030. 20000 tons. They will replace the San Giorgio / Santi class.
3. FREMM EVO
Six new FREMM EVO will be ordered. They will be 1-to-1 replacements for legacy FREMMs.
4. PPA EVO
It will be ordered, apparently. I didn't find a number.
5. Garibaldi
Garibaldi is likely to be sold to Indonesia. Marco Florian Geo says that the remaining Harrier fleet is included in the package.

I'll be starting with what is probably the most ubiquitous photograph of him with a weapon, the K2C, a carbine variant of the South Korean K2 assault rifle. After doing some research, a number of K2C1s entered service with the Philippine National Police in 2019. Obviously this photo predates that so I suspect it's a test rifle that was sent over for evaluation some years prior.
That's it. That's all I have for a update.
Especially when you're on location known for ritual sacrifice to the swamp gods.
In most cases, you are highly unlikely to need to use a firearm in the first place. The way I see it, it only makes sense to carry with a round in the chamber if you're visiting a higher crime area for one reason or another. In that case, you might as well be carrying a bigger pistol to begin with.
Live in the present. The Glock is to reliability today as Smith & Wesson was to reliability 40+ years ago. Glocks are made to be used by cops, feds, security, military's, and the average Joe. Meanwhile, Colt and Smith are producing their revolvers just to look pretty so they can rob boomers of their social security money one last time before they croak.
How is this not a big deal?
What weapons and equipment have you brought with you? How will you survive the bitter cold, hunger, disease, and hordes of marauding Indians and German cannibals?

With the whole industry racing to Business Class - trying to capture their piece of the overpriced 1911/2011 market – amid a wider reactionary turn away from carry minmaxing, what happens to plastic? Where does the race to the bottom actually bottom out, and does something new start from there?
It seems like the polymer-and-steel perfection™ paradigm is currently dying. But it's mostly dying from ever-cheaper clones and pushback against strikerslop as premium firearms, not from actual counterexamples making use of either more interesting metals (Al/Be/Mg/Sc/Ti) or better substitutes for Polymer 2 and its analogues.
So. Which way, western hand?
this is tragic
Raytheon led the effort producing the precision missile and launcher. Forterra supplied the self-driving technology. Oshkosh provided the vehicle platform and electronic systems. Ursa Major manufactured the missile's rocket motor.

https://gloomgroup.com/blogs/night-vision-info/night-vision-specifications-understanding-what-they-mean
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.

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
I did some reading about the developement of monogamy in humans, and still am not convinced that it arose naturally. Mostly the explanations center around explaining why dad sticks around, not why he keeps one wife, instead of a few. I had a hunch that the development of personal weapons, that make killing almost trivial, and reduce the energy expenditure needed to kill, couldn’t possibly be completely inconsequential to the structure of the family, and in the fiercest and typically the most violent competition outside food. How would you even defend a harem in a world of ranged weapons?
Does anyone have any info or reading material regarding this? Could monogamy have arisen forcefully from the advent of such implements? Or perhaps arisen through some other means, by other selective pressures and environmental constraints, but quietly become the new low-energy-state of the human family upon weapons development? Something we can’t easily deviate too far from now, even if we wanted?

No wonder NATO can't keep Ukraine supplied with basic things like artillery shells.
This is cottage industry tier.
Ukraine has hit five of them, in each case they survived. My thesis is that they are heavily armored and resistant to counter battery attack, i shall present evidence:
Here we have a VOG scratching the paint, note that the footage cuts out after that:

Here is a large 'Baba Yaga' hitting one with three mortar shells/RPGs and not even scoring a mobility kill, if they did Ukrane would have done a follow up strike:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut5vWEKXGNo
The best one, three in prepared positions being hit with HIMARs cluster munitions. It looks like they fired, pulled back, buttoned up and just tanked it. If they were actually destroyed the observation drone would have recorded that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDjBOqhxs50
They seem to be very tough physically speaking and are being used intelligently, what is /k/s opinion? Personally i think that they are so huge that they were designed to survive cluster munitions and counter battery fire, the DPRK isn't stupid and since the chassis is a elongated MBT chassis why not make it with MBT levels of protection?
