How to "take cover" against drones?

Title.
I see lots of Russkies just dying to drones.
They crawl, prone, crouch, run, and eventually die. They drive away, but eventually explode to kamikaze drones.
Am I supposed to get myself a portable jammer for SHTF or something?

IIT we talk about ashburn VA nuclear targets
ringoffireidiotsandtheirdatacenterbackups
Not sure what some of these planners were thinking desu.

https://lightyear.ai/blogs/ashburn-colocation-data-center-alley

Why would anyone build their data centers in the ring of fire. Everyone knows that this is
a known killbox for Rus/Chi nukes. Its like they are hoping to get totally wiped. I've been
in the Boyers Pa ironmountain site more than a handful of times and it seems to be the
last place you would want to be wqhen a nuke goes off. The storage down there is not
air tight at all.

I would think that placing valued datacenter locations would be priority in Colorado mountains where theres at least some sense of geological barrier. And stick everything deep under mountains.

My interests go to civil engineering projects and military bunkers type projects in the PA ,VA, NY, WV areas as. Brutalist construction is a big draw.

Are the People's Defense Units Allie’s or enemies of the Syrian state? From what I read it’s a bit vague, they sometimes fight them or work with them so I’m confused.
Same with the YBS and Iraq. Are they enemies or Allies? They’re sometimes opponents but they sometimes work with Iraq also.

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:

https://steeleindustries.com/
https://nvisionoptics.com/
https://www.customnightvision.com/
https://apollogearco.com

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

Glock trigger safety
IMG_4926
What the fuck is the point of this nonsense? The purpose of a safety is to prevent the trigger from being pulled, or prevent a round from being fired when you dont want it to. Putting a spring loaded safety on the trigger itself accomplishes neither task. If that is the point, why wouldn’t you just leave the safety off, or remove it entirely, instead of having some over complicated trigger mechanism? I have a S&W revolver with a keyed safety that might as well not exist, i dont even know where the key is. Why doesn’t glock just do something like that instead? Help me understand this profound retardation.

>The long-term loss of the only three major dry docks available to the BSF in the Black Sea has left Russian naval command with the unpleasant choice of either risking warships in action and having no place to repair them if hit by the Ukrainians or keeping its large vessels well out of harm’s way but unable to help out in the war against Kyiv.
>BSF naval command by Sept. 17 arguably demonstrated its decision by evacuating, along with all its missile submarines, all seven heavy assault Ropucha class landing vessels out of Sevastopol harbor’s confined waters, Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk said in a national TV broadcast.

Why did they fall out of favour?
>Doesn’t require fuel

>Can be unmounted to pull or carry heavy equipment
>Doesn’t leave obvious tracks
Seems like an obvious choice to use them for transport in rural to wild terrain.

Espionage and street smarts
Screenshot 2023-09-20 at 17.10.39
Yesterday I finished reading a book from 1997 in which an investigative journalist from my country wrote about how the clandestine ops department of our intelligence service operated back then.

With all the field agents recruited (at the time, probably not anymore) from military and gendarmerie forces, and the women selected only from civilian life and through direct recommendation, they would attend a 9-months long course where they would learn everything needed to perform their jobs: breaking and entering, social engineering, armed and unarmed combat, surveillance and counter-surveillance, tech handling, urban orientation, disguise, high-speed driving etc. All of this to an incredibly high standard so that any member of a team can perform any of these during any operation.

However, what really caught my eye while reading it was how they would put a lot of emphasis on the social engineering and street-smarts aspect of the training, testing the candidates on procuring 1 gram of cocaine in under one hour, having a random someone on the street give them a the equivalent to 25USD at the time, or finding the location shown in a polaroid picture after being dropped off in the outskirts of a major city without any resources on them (ID, money, weapons) in under 4 hours.


I have always been fascinated by the almost fantasy-like level of readiness of spies in movies and books (and I am completely opposed to the actual work of intelligence services, especially regarding media manipulation, citizen surveillance ,etc), but I don't know how plausible it would be to build up these almost god-like operators in only 9 months.

How much do rangers actually run? Is 5 miles in 40 mins every morning actually true?

It's very difficult for me to believe that since it takes a genuinely elite athlete to do that when coupled with the expectation of being able to do 20 pull ups and deadlift 225 to at least be ok on gas can carries.

45acp concealed carry pistols?
maxresdefault (3)
it seems like 9mm has the whole concealed carry market cornered unless you want to carry a 1911 style pistol.
they'll make 100 different tacticool double stack carry 9mm CC handguns that hold 18 rounds but can't make a single stack 45acp that isn't just a reskinned 1911 commander it seems.
anyone know any good ones?

realistic star wars tactics
CIS_Poster_by_Nortenyo
We all know that Star Wars is stupid fantasy that makes no attempt at having realistic tactics, but what if it did?

Let's say you've been given command of an army by a faction of your choosing. How do you best utilize said factions military assets? What tactics do you use?

The only rules are that you can't metagame (ie: you wouldn't know the CIS is just Palpatine's puppet) and you can't design any new equipment, you have to use whatever equipment is available to your army of choice.

Thoughts on the cz bobwhite (particularly g2)? Looking for a grouse and rabbit gun, and these seem like a great option. I've always wanted a sxs, but every time I find a decent old 20 gauge they're expensive as hell or totally busted. I'm not looking for anything fancy I just want a dependable sxs that feels solid. Being able to change chokes and shoot steel is a bonus too. Is it that much better to get an older double (say lefever nitro special or fox model b) over this?

ItalyDefenseLinesSouthofRome1943_4
>The Winter Line was a series of German and Italian military fortifications in Italy, constructed during World War II by Organisation Todt and commanded by Albert Kesselring. The series of three lines was designed to defend a western section of Italy, focused around the town of Monte Cassino, through which ran the important Highway 6 which led uninterrupted to Rome. The primary Gustav Line ran across Italy from just north of where the Garigliano River flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea in the west, through the Apennine Mountains to the mouth of the Sangro River on the Adriatic coast in the east. The two subsidiary lines, the Bernhardt Line and the Hitler Line, ran much shorter distances from the Tyrrehnian Sea to just northeast of Cassino where they would merge into the Gustav Line. Relative to the Gustav Line, the Hitler Line stood to the northwest and the Bernhardt Line to the southeast of the primary defenses.
>Before being ultimately broken, the Gustav Line effectively slowed the Allied advance for months between December 1943 and June 1944. Major battles in the assault on the Winter Line at Monte Cassino and Anzio alone resulted in 98,000 Allied casualties and 60,000 Axis casualties.[1][2]
But according to /k/, trench warfare was made obsolete by air power and tanks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Line
And the comeback of trench warfare in Ukraine is all due to both sides being bad at war.

It's probably not the Mosin because the stock is blonde and much lighter, of the bunch I think it might be the Lebel maybe? The color is correct and there's a round cutout, but I cannot for the life of me find any chunks missing anywhere. I am hoping to god it's from some other piece of wood somehow in the house. Please pray for me.
