Is Russia gonna figure something out and this is only a momentary triumph for Ukraine, or is this something much bigger and a symptom of much bigger dysfunction? How much longer can Ukraine fly kit planes into Russian infrastructure?
Challenge and pass edition. What do (You) say to identify friend or foe? Don't worry I won't tell anyone.

I used to think that being a soldier was really cool and badass but now i just see it as a fools job. You can't even say it gives you that much experience when you look at how effectively farmers and peasants have fought against the U.S military. I saw a video of fucking gamers playing paintball with marines and the marines just barely edged it.
So why aren't they all doing it?

Resource on what these spec terminology 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
Pistol rounds don't cause hydrostatic damage anyway and shot placement is what's important, right?

A 35 ton variant of the vehicle called the Harimau has been exported to Indonesia featuring a 105mm gun just protection against 25mm autocannons, though the variant proposed for Brazil will feature heavier armor and is projected to weigh over 44 tons. The model proposed for Brazil would be slightly larger, featuring an active protection system, a modern hunter killer optics system, drone integration, an uprated engine, and armor protection against larger caliber cannons similar to modern main battle tanks and would mount a commanders autocannon for defense against drone attacks. This version would be manufactured locally in Brazil and serve along Brazilian built CV90 infantry fighting vehicles of a similar weight class. This 45 tons variant would be similar in weight and performance to the cancelled Brazilian designed Engesa EE-T1 Osorio main battle tank. Turkish arms manufacturers have also recently won a tender to upgrade Chilean Leopard 2 and Marder armored vehicles and have proposed modernized M60 and Leopard 1 tanks for other Latin American armed forces. Pars 6x6 and 8x8 armored vehicles are also being proposed for Mexico along with unspecified Turkish tracked combat vehicles.

I don't know how well pic related worked (I suspect not well given the fact that it's dead), but it always made me hard, and sometimes I dream about one chambering 300 blackout. Without that, something like PSA's Jakl looks like something that could hit hard and I could fit it in a backpack.
This is weapons related because that's what they sing about.

He said the State department assigned impossible tasks and NDA’s made it so that they could not publicly contest accusations nor have things like dash cams. Partisan politics hated the war in Iraq and needed to assign blame when you can’t criticize the military. Military contracting was a controversial subject like how when space travel was contracted out to SpaceX, now both are very normal and publicly known things. Also once Saddam was defeated one of the first policies implemented was to disband the Iraqi military, so you now have ~375,000 pissed off jobless soldiers with a bunch of spare time and a stockpile of weapons that went everywhere once they knew they were gonna lose the war, turning Iraq into an IED filled hell hole that was going to have its own plans. All of which seems to check out.
My question is, were there shit decisions made from Backwater’s leadership/business choices that could have resulted in a better outcome for them or was the 2003 invasion, and all the butterfly effects that went along with it, make it impossible for anyone to be seriously involved in any significant way and come out unscathed reputation wise?
Also will the Beretta optic screws fucking stay in please? Thanks.

and he also said they dont even have the ammo for them, and low frequency of training.
idk how the quality of training is for the rest of the army, from the outside as an ignorant observer it seems base level decent but my wariness of Italian institutions and the fact that 90% of the manpower is from the south makes me think badly even if I cant really know.z
he hinted at something similar with the dardo IFV, and also about the fact that they got old optics and systems on that cant be upgraded due to how the vehicle is made.
but didn't go into details so idk.
other thing is that they have a lot of cavalry regiments with the centauro 2 but no armor to be scouting for, and the Ukraine war has show that light armored vehicles like the centauro 2 get shredded even by artillery.
he also mentioned that various people were there just for the gibs and didnt give a shit, although one of his examples come from Somalia so very long like ago.
they dont have drones in any significant amount and only to high echelons when they do.
I dont know much about the navy and air force, on paper they seem to have better gear and TOE, but idk about readiness and training and stockpiles of ammo and spares, and they're still pretty small anyway.
the army is small as fuck especially, if they were in any actual conventional war they would get attrited very quickly and have nothing to fall back on, I don't know what their strategic reserves of vehicles in storage are.
but with that said what are even the scenarios in which the Italian ground forces could be employed in the future?
doesnt seem like they're in good conditions.
There's no way the Chinese or Russians could invade any further than the imperial Valley
Must ship to international and bonus points if it is bullet-resistant too.
Iran - 0
What do I get for my first 22lr firearm?
Rifle?
Pistol?
Upper?
not restricted to the US but in general for western countries, and also for Russians.
my guess is they're training units in the back, on regular training and in the use of specific weapon systems, and giving them juicy teachings regarding cyber warfare and SIGINT, maybe sharing some secret info they have regarding stuff like electronic and radar signatures of certain planes etc
then theres the AEWACS and other intelligence drones with SAR and shit flying in the black sea, satellites, and all that info I then given to ukr.
they might be spying on Russian officers, bureaucrats, politicians through their phones, cameras, etc, violating their privacy for Intel, maybe have moles, maybe blackmail some, maybe use the stuff they spied on them with to blackmail, give money, offer a way out of Russia to come to us in exchange of betrayal.
same stuff as above but for other related cunts like Iran, China, nk, and others, aside from them doing that anyway for other reasons.
cyberwarfare, so trying to steal info from their systems, trying to fuckup electronic stuff like factories and informatics systems they use.
humint, trying to do all of the above Intel collection and blackmail just with an actual person living there.
Russians probably doing the same but towards Ukraine and with more limited capabilities regarding Intel assets and sats.
surely much more is going on that I'm not aware of.

if so, do they perform well enough, and with an attrition rate such that it is desirable to employ them given their cost and the alternatives?
should they be maintained as a capability?
"The MK-49 launcher will be utilized on DDGs [Arleigh Burkes] with the latest [Aegis] combat system and the SeaRAM launcher will be utilized on DDGs that do not have a combat system that is compatible with the MK-49. The launchers will replace the currently installed Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS)."

>With the FN® M2HB-QCB Mk2 FN Herstal introduces the latest configuration of its iconic Browning .50 calibre (12.7x99mm) heavy machine gun. It includes several upgrades that improve maintainability and operational effectiveness:
◾ The left handle is ready to take an integrated FN SmartCore® shot counter. This allows more efficient and cost-effective preventive maintenance, which improves weapon reliability and availability, reduces life cycle costs and extends operational life.
◾ The barrel is ready to take an effective flash suppressor. This increases user/platform survivability by reducing firing signature, and avoids degrading visibility through light intensifying or thermal night vision devices due to muzzle flash.
◾ A tri-rail assembly that provides a stable and ergonomic interface for optics, lasers and other accessories is available as an option.
These upgrades can be retrofitted to the large number of earlier-configuration in-service weapons, either in the customers’ facilities by their own armourers or by FN technical experts, or in FN Herstal sites.
Originally designed by John Moses Browning over a century ago, “Ma Deuce” has the secret to eternal youth: adaptation.
