Northrop Grummans Manta Ray has conducted initial trials at sea.https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2024-05-01https://x.com/darpa/status/1785671213160825071?s=46&t=ySaWSLoZU6lwZ7u03-FcBQ
>>61537518I read that too and was also reminded of it. Good job on remembering and finding it.
What are the hydrodynamic benefits of a manta shapewhat if it can go into ground effect

>>61546013Literally flies underwater, generating lift just like plane wings do in the air. Normal submarines use buoyant air tanks to control their vertical axis, floating like balloons.
>>61546115Not lift. Dive. The wings are upside down compared to aircraft wings and generate 'dive' to counter the craft's buoyancy. Gun fact, normal subs are reverse-zeppelins too.
Post examples of units where they had unique uniforms/identifiers compared to the rest of the military. In this case Croatian/Bosnian SS Troops wore Fez's,

>>61541198>camo MKIII combat shirtSexoI love my MKIII parapantsDon't forget the neo nazi literature these guys were also passing around
Nork commando gear is neat. It has this very 2000's Land Warrior feel to it. I'm 99% sure it was inspired by a Tom Clancy game some general was able to smuggle in.

There were very few videos of BUK destruction during winter, but now we have a new one every few days.
>>61543426This was inside Kursk in Russia by the way. Hence the board being raided. And we got the daily smoking accidents in refineries too.
>>61543458>going home to RussiaHe was home. This was in Kursk, lmao hence the firefighters.
>>61544254>We are on a stage of a 3-days SMO with F-16 getting to the Moscow airspace
>>61543460I keep re-watching but I don't see the russian Ben Johnson.
>>61543654Does anyone have the full video this was sourced from?

>>61548732I'm not a big fan of preconfigured chest rigs they never have what I want and always have too much shit I don't want.
>>61548732Does it come with a free chastity cage and pride patch? You should ask them because that's the frutiest chest rig I've ever seen. >>61548701I hate jews and muslims.
>>61548733I really really like this image.

>>61545037Thanks, anon. I dunno if i actually expected something else, but thing do be like that sometimes.
>>61546866here's a flashy image to get your attention to my important question
>>61540252If I just wanna be a supply marine reservist they dont do helicopter dunker school or whatever right?
>>61546053I learned the term was poolie today, forgot it when the recruiter talked to me a month ago. I'm a nosebreather, but I am a bit of a retard.Had a good time, kicked my ass but I liked that.
>recruitment?
do you guys have a loadout that is more than just a CCW? Dunno what you would call it besides grey man+
Pop Tarts, small packet of Kikkoman onions sauce
yeah
>>61541115>Literally a brown dudeOh.
>>61548616Only looks brown because it's dark in the photo. I think he's a Slav.
>>61547739The Twink we deserve, but not the one we need right now...so we'll bash him because he can take it
Infiray just got fucked by sanctions. No more sales, period.
>PRC basedDon't care. Total commie death.
>>61548606Shouldn't have been doing business with the Russians.
>>61548702>Why do I feel like there is going to be a ton of money keeping them on this list forever?I don't want to sound like a conspiracytard but this whole thing seems like an attempt to prevent thermals from getting into the hands of civilians. All of the Western thermal manufacturers make 99% of their profit on government/institutional sales, not selling a few thermal scopes to skeeter so he can shoot hogs at 2 AM. This isn't just about """protecting""" US arms manufacturers from imports.
>>61548753ding ding ding ding, winrar
>>61548753I think Uncle Sam pays the crazy prices because they know by keeping the price high they are keeping a large volume of civilians from having thermals/night vision
Post modern secret weapons that are cool in some wayI'll start with>the Aurora; A stealth Recon Aircraft that is the Successor of the SR-71, flying at Mach 5+ and likely with stealth capabilities, basically a satellite recon on a 2 minute call Bonus [SPOILER] The U-2 is litearlly just a loli Starfighter [/spoiler]
you niggers could've posted thing like the ATAC or a DEW, but you had to be niggers and derail my fun thread
>XF-42: Airbreathing plasma(!!) SCRAMjet strikefighter >MSLAMs: Marginally SubLuminal Accelerated Munitions. Aluminum plasma/Hydrogen afterburner warmfusion powered missiles traveling at .94c with an (IMO superfluous) stabilized Polonium warhead. Based on Mars to kill potential ayys.>C-100: extremely heavy-lift flying wing cargo plane capably of bringing over 1000 tons of materiel across the Pacific in under an hour. Does not use conventional engines.
This thread went from speculating about fast planes to nukes on the moon much quicker than usual
>successor to the sr-71doesn't look like that
>>61548085picrel is too cool not to post, though I believe it's a little bit outdated now. Some of my favorites:>NB-36H: there was a time we saw nuclear power as the future>X-20: cool concept, basically a space shuttle for the USAF>X-31: actually flew, pretty impressive capabilities at high angles of attack>X-37B: who knows really what that little guy is doing right now?>X-44: F-22 with no tails, control through TVCAs for Aurora, I don't believe it was ever real, you can't hide a plane like that for decades.
You go to a hot springs and you see this wyd annons?

The kinda pranks where you hide alarm clocks in their quarters.
Between Blitzkrieg and Deep Battle, which was "less" of a meme?
>>61547832Exactly. What I'm trying to say is that it's a meme. By 1944 they weren't doing "blitzkrieg", because they couldn't get enough not-completely-destroyed forces together to do anything. Blitzkrieg is a fucking annoying term and I wish people would stop using it.>>61547841Deep battle actually worked in part because it pinned down the Germans and forced them to have small reaction forces that were over relied upon and worn out. I don't think, in most cases, a singular penetration would have worked against the Germans. You had to do it all over the place all at once, all of the battles I've read about the 1943-1944 period in Ukraine mention that the Germans were holding out quite well until suddenly they weren't.
I find it interesting that all of the tactics we read about in earlier eras, from Alexander and Hannibal all the way to Napoleon and Lee, are still used today but on the operational and strategic scale instead.
>>61547641Schwerpunkt is less of a meme. Choosing the time and place of your breakthrough is always better than applying pressure and taking losses along a wide front until you can make a breakthrough.
>>61548713force concentration is the end-all, be-all of warfare and the basis of all strategyattacking in every area simply ensures you lose in detaileven deep battle is about concentrating in a single spot, the only difference is that you pressure the enemy along multiple points first to test where the best place is to send the concentrationairland keeps all their forces in reserve and only committing them when counter-attacking after the enemy has shown their handwhether on the offense, or defense, you always want a spear point not a thin line
>>61547682Long range fires targeting the reserve deep battle forces before they reach the front line while the defensive line fights an elastic defense and then counterattacks.
What is the best destroyer class in the world? Are any of those fancy boutique euro destroyers any good or is the arleigh Burke class still the best
>>61537286Yes it’s the AB
>>61543276don't forget the spam of pictures of half naked gook bodybuilders pretending to be soldiers
Sm-2, Sm-6, and SM-6 are just superior missiles. There is no getting around that
>>61537286Whatever the chinks make because they can build 20 of them in the time it takes anyone else to build 1 of whatever they make.
>>61537286obviously
