  1. APFSDS ammo for an Assault gun? Assault guns aren't really the law of the land they used to be either
  2. actually i would argue that Iwo Jima is a much, much better example of what the Japs can do defensive wise. Okinawa is fine but halfway through they got a bad case of Banzai syndrome. Plus not every part of mainland Japan is a volcanic island. Its abit harder to defend, since you actually have alot more targets that can be bombed and bombarded. Not to mention the civilan population. The Japanese know first hand from the Fall of Singapore what a bunch of starving civilians and soldiers can do to defensive posture in a hurry. Not to mention with the Soviets in the North, history shows that when a nation has to sides to chose to surrender from rather than one, they start bleeching flags alittle bit quicker
  3. I would wager alot more due to exposure, dwindling food, Allied bombing on top of suicidal defensice doctrine At the very least. Atleast twice that number
  4. I would like to know more about those platforms. You Americans always loved your lasers
  5. I disagree. This is a demonstration of force projection rather than general military proficiency. Not that i am not confident that we have a good military. But its the same as Ukraine demonstrating Russian expertise in Asymmetrical warfare. Different wars point out different things
  6. You want weapon of glorious Soviet design for purposes of self defence and plinking. You buy weapon of Autvomat Kalashnikov in the year 1974 Good rifle serves you best years of your life. You go to fraternal Czechoslovakia you drink beer and fratenize with girls. You go to fraternal East German Republic. You watch the cigarette smoke flow off the furniture of your rifle like dew through the East German pines. You get rifle dirty from long day of eating and smoking you through in lake For as man dug up god's earth to build rifle you return rifle. Baptizing it in the mude, the sweat the blood. For you know deep in your heart that you and your rifle are ready to finish what your fore fathers did in great Patriotic war. Once again the essence of Russian soilder is ready to save the world Thats why you buy rifle
  7. No it cant Star Trek Master Race reporting in
  8. To be fair the last thing i paid the equivalent of 60 us dollars for entertainment was dope
  9. its not uncommon, but i think the reasons i stated are the reasons its in use
  10. I said Russia, i could really care less if he wants to Sodomize like Mexico or something i like Mexican American food, thats about it Mexicans seem like good people and they make good music, but know who else are good people with good music, the Germans! .....i dont know where im going with this
  11. Guy in the middle I've seen that stare before in Grozny it's universal human expression for "Let me tell you about Islam"
  12. I think Trump will be fine president, he is one of the few candidates who i believe wont start a third world war with us
  13. I think the performance of a 130mm gun has alot more to do with it. Faster fire rate and low dispersion is much more important than how much HE you can pack into one shell- this isnt 1916. Modern CWIS and armor mean its not the single big powerful cruise missile that deciamtes fleets but rather swarms of varrying trajectory cruise missiles. Since the biggest meanest ship buster in your aresonal will be just as useless as any other once CWIS gets a beat on it This rings true with artillery aswell for coastal action. Plus 130mm isnt too far away from 122mm so similar performance can be achieved while in a common round
