Perhaps there was a typo in one of these tweets or news letters? -
Non-exploding infantry hardware thread.

That’s really good, I am curious just how comfortable/habitable that suit is in direct sunlight or hot climates, it looks kinda thick and heavy. -

What’s the brand, so I can go to my local super markets and inspect some boxes myself -

What does the 31/41/51 mean when talking about “KF”? Is it like the DM series where the numbers designate the type and generation, or is it just randomly assigned?

Those both look like left “cheeks”, judging by the position of the smoke grenades on them, and the merk 4’s turret is pretty symmetrical on the outside, from the pictures I’m looking at. I think weidz was referring to the bolts, or how there is a cutout between the bolts on the closer module, while the further module is smooth between the bolts.

Hmmm, the structures on the inside of the wedge are interesting: the bracing would suggest a physically heavy plate, or a lot of force is/can be applied to that area. Also, I’m curious what could be on that Merkava’s fender that would warrant a censoring.

I swear I can hear a faint chanting in the background, voiced by millions of wehraboos, purporting victory.

Ukrainian armor - Oplot-M, T-64M Bulat and other.
Lord_James replied to LoooSeR's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Speaking of, where are these sUpaH ToNKs? If there are as great as advertised, the Ukrainians would be sending them out on heroic missions, no? -

This photo is terrible, what tank is that? T-84? -

I wouldn’t think it would have been over in 72 hours, even without donations to Ukraine. The mad max “drive fast” strategy the Russian army was using was bound to stall out quickly, taking into account how little they protected their logistics at that point in the war. It would be much more favorable on the Russians side if there was no external assistance, but I don’t think that Ukraine would have been steam rolled as implied without the military aid. I’m just an idiot on the internet though, but willing to be proven wrong on the appropriate thread.

It looks like they’re panic buying stuff, but I don’t see a point: on even a second thought, the Russian army is having a hard time pushing through what little the Ukraine had. Ukraine industry was in very poor shape before this invasion, and the quality of the few military vehicles and arms she did produce was questionable, and Poland is in a much better place than Ukraine. After the poor showing of the Russian army, they are probably not going to attempt any invasion against mildly competent forces in a while, which would give Poland enough time to develop her arms industry and get some of those projects into production.

Tanks guns and ammunition.
Lord_James replied to Militarysta's topic in Ballistics Science Discussion
What about this breach is more sophisticated compared to the L/44 or L/55’s breach? Wouldn’t the recoil system be the peice that reduces the peak stress on the vehicle mounting the weapon, and wouldn’t the propellant design and chemistry determine its peak pressure within the tube? -
I have a question: since there are most definitely some very intelligent and respected radar experts all over the world, why is the US the only Air Force with not 1, but 2 “stealth” aircraft? The only answer I can reasonably come up with is we just have the economy to brute force it without having to worry about taxing the citizens into oblivion, but even still it’s been a while, and no one else have been successful?

The interesting ship photos/art thread.
Lord_James replied to Belesarius's topic in Naval Discussion
I got a new book recently: Russian and Soviet battleships Very informative, and well laid out. The chapter about the “1915 battleship projects” are the most wild so far, imagine a gangut with quad 16 inch turrets and 27 knot speed, and only 12 inch armor belt. -
M1 availability rates are pretty comparable to other nations tanks, but I agree she is expensive and fuel hungry. Does anyone know if the AGT in the Abrams has had any mid life improvements? Would make sense, M1 is getting close to 40 years old by now, there has to have been some kind of technology improvements since the late 80s.

Non-exploding infantry hardware thread.
Lord_James replied to Belesarius's topic in Infantry Tools & Tactics
All I see is a picture of a forest and a brick wall I guess they’re planning on staying in relatively green deserts, because when I was in the dry parts of Utah this past month, any green plants would stand out from the sand and rock.
