    Battlefield intelligence doesn't work the way in practice that it does in theory, mate.
  2. Sturgeon
    Uh, I didn't suggest something out of the first Star Wars prequel, I suggested a few manned aircraft supported by larger numbers of UAVs.
  3. Sturgeon
    Educational clickbait.

    Doesn't this ignore the value of an obligated labor force in keeping people out of trouble? Also, doesn't it ignore the need to cultivate skilled workers? Wouldn't the nastiest jobs all be filled with a bunch of part-timers liable to half-ass the job, since they are obviated from working enough to gain skill?

    Link to your friends, feed the shitstorm.

    The Armata could be made of paper mache and use fucking cell phones for its vision blocks, and it would still be the most significant tank design in a decade.
  7. Sturgeon
    What's really significant about the article you linked Bele isn't that they're air refueling drones, but that those appear to be pictures of the elusive RQ-170.
  8. Sturgeon
    Uh, no it's because an experienced pilot is expensive. UAVs make a lot of sense for CAS. What you need is cooperation between UAV assets and manned CAS/FAC assets. Which is pretty much what we have now. Plop all the Hellfires and APKWS onto a drone or drones, and have something manned supported by loads of unmanned assets so they're able to take fewer risks while still getting intel calling the shots.

    pix or it didn't happen: Buddy UAV refueling:
  10. Sturgeon
    Yeah, this has been going on for ages. The Navy's doing it, too.
  11. Sturgeon
    Studies seem to indicate that pilots are by far the most expensive asset, and that you don't want to be throwing them away. Sure, you could put no-training scrubs in Cessnas and try to get them to do CAS, but your attrition rate, coupled with the low delivered capability would make these "assets" decidedly appendix-like. Infantry need a good, well-trained CAS element, not some idiot who doesn't know how to read a battlefield puttering around uselessly in the sky.

    No content? Just say something funny. (Please don't link to something from your porn folder...)

    That thing's a fucking deathtrap.

    I use 1 part Ballistol / 10 parts water in a dollar squirty bottle to clean my AK-74M after I fire corrosive. Seems to work well. The water is the important bit, Ballistol is just an emulsifier.

    You're welcome to cross post, but that thread probably needs more love.
  16. Sturgeon
    Great rifles. Now post them in the correct thread. I just sold a No. 1 very similar to yours (unfired, well, unfired before I got to it) for $600. You got a good deal. Keep that thing oiled and treasure it.
  17. Sturgeon
    They're already working on fixing that. EMBRACE FLYING ROBOT TERMINATORS.

    I guess they couldn't tell from her dripping eye makeup, obvious foundation line, slutty sagging tits, and recklessly violent need for sex that she is a parody reflection of them.

    I'll never join the Dark Side of temperature measurement! I am a Fahrenheit, like my father before me, and his father, but probably not his father, who most likely measured temperature in some arcane and banal measurement like mmHg or something!
  20. Sturgeon
    While many vultures are naked-faced, some are not. Lammergeiers, for example. My point is that all of these things are excuses to not EMBRACE THE FLUFFY. Also, lol "30 degrees". I'm sitting here wondering "what, 30 degrees? That's like, winter temps... OH CELSIUS".
  21. Sturgeon
    Oh sure, bring up the fact that some dinosaurs surely were naked-faced as an excuse to leave a little Hollywood in my T-Rex!
  22. Sturgeon
    Hammering at this long bent and battered nail is beginning to pay off; now there is a depiction in the popular press of feathered tyrannosaurs. These depictions are more or less OK. I'm not sure why they can't seem to get away from naked dino faces, though. At the bottom you can see one of Steve's many colorful knives.

    Fucking incredible game in the IS-3 today. RUSSIA STRONK:
  24. Sturgeon
    I disagree. I think the A-10 is a very dedicated aircraft, but that the F/A-18E is probably better and more survivable for the CAS mission.
  25. Sturgeon
    A similar, but more condensed sentiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juzcE8URFTg
