Also. What will Russia do now that Ukraine has hundreds of them and they can cover pretty much all the invaded regions?
What’s the long term strategy here?
Some pretty decent analysis from today on the state of Russia's AFV/IFV stocks at major storage bases with emphasis on BMPs.
tl;dr shit's fucked
>Overall, BMPs decreased in these bases from 4191 before the war 2793 in recent months, of which two thirds, 1814, look to be cannibalized or in dire needs of repairs before being put in active service. Most of the working hulls are also BMP-1s.
>BMP-2s keep descending into extinction as well as other kinda modern armor such as BTR-80s, and BMP-3s, BTR-82s and the like are nowhere to be seen in storage anymore.
ITT: Noguns designing shitty guns in media
project will be divided into 8 pillars:
>chassis and automated navigation - German-lead
>cannon, turret and ammo - Franco-German lead
>secondary armament with e.g. guided missiles - French-lead
>communications and battle management system - Franco-German lead
>simulator environment - Franco-German lead
>sensors - French-lead
>protection and drone defense - German-lead
>support and logistical infrastructure - Franco-German lead
for the cannon both the French 140mm and German 130mm are to be tested and then one is to be decided on after evaluations
motor will be a diesel-electric hybrid, quiet electric motor may be used to approach the combat zone undected
crew will be 2-3 located in the hull, turret will be unmanned
other allies may join the project, Poland and Italy have been mentioned

>As the Turkish president's visit to the United States approaches, information has emerged that Ankara is seeking to supply weapons to Ukraine funded by the Pentagon. Kyiv hopes to receive 12 T-155 Firtina self-propelled artillery systems, equipped with 155mm howitzers, which are particularly suitable for the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces.
>The T-155 Firtina is a 155mm 52 caliber self-propelled howitzer developed by Turkey in collaboration with South Korean defense companies, based on the design of the K9 Thunder. Initially launched to fulfill the Turkish army's requirements, production commenced in 2002 following the completion of two prototypes in 2001. Under a license agreement with Samsung Techwin, the initial batch of T-155s was manufactured in South Korea, with subsequent production of over 300 units in Turkey. The program, totaling $1 billion in costs for the Turkish government, aimed to deliver 350 T-155 Firtina units, with over 150 units already supplied to the Turkish Army by December 2009. Additionally, Azerbaijan ordered 36 units, delivered by 2014.
So after 2 years of dragging feet by the krauts, the Ukies finally decided to take this matter seriously by reaching out to the best military powerhouse in Europe, Türkiye.
The best to ever do it. Nothing comes close.
I just don't know if I stumbled into a good opportunity to improve my life in every way or if I'm so in over my head I have no idea whats coming.
Apparently the newly released DT Wlvrn is a having major issues like regular FTF with most brands of ammo and the gun is is unseating and dropping magazines while firing.
Is there a reason why this company just can't release a working design?

I'm trying to buy my first AR-15, I can hardly find anything mid price and normal reputation. It's either overpriced US garbage like Anderson/Faxon and shit, or insanely overpriced DD. Can we buy a reliable tier AR-15 in Europe for around 1500-1800 € ? Which brands ?

The European Commission signed the Grant Agreement for the launch of the STORE (Shared daTabase for Optronics image Recognition and Evaluation) collaborative research project, coordinated by Thales and funded by the European Defence Fund. Bringing together a consortium of 20 partners (manufacturers, SMEs and academics) from 8 EU Member States and Norway, this project aims to build a shared image database secured by most advanced technology and to develop and evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms dedicated to data analysis of ground platform imaging systems. This project will contribute to the automatic management and tactical analysis of information in land combat situations, thanks to technological innovation in deep learning of optronic data.

This is a Zastava ZPAP M77 AK-47 Rifle 308 Win - 19.7" - Blued. For $1,299. Should I get it? Or would you rather have a Type 56?
Does this mean that commercial tech has caught up with the latest military tech? Even the F-35 still just uses AESA, whilst many european 4.5th gen planes still use PESA or even older radars...

Also, if you did not get the last Post:
Thanks for the Information's :)
Robots/drones may also someday carry bladed weapons since the weight of ammo and power requirements of energy weapons limit range and killing capacity. A light, fast robot with a knife would have greater range and kill without running out of ammo or power. There may come a time when humans will have to go mano-e-robo in a bladed battle to the death.
Consider also the robot turret or sentry gun. These would likely be heavily armored against bullets and shrapnel, but have stabbable weak points which could jam the gun or knock out the targeting sensors. What knives would be best here?
Keep in mind that while vampires are typically vulnerable to silver, garlic, and sunlight, they are also much faster and stronger than a typical human and are vastly more cunning and intelligent. They are also likely to prepare several layers of defenses in their hideouts.

Resource on what these spec terminology mean
https://www.nite-walker.com/post/2019/11/21/specs-for-dummies-101
https://apollogearco.com/blogs/news/night-vision-specs-explained
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.
Some reputable retailers:

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
Which Armour and what weapon types would presist or make a comeback? Would we see yellow cross poisonous gasses again?
