I don't get the point of all these small CCA concepts. They aren't going to have the range or payload of an ICBM or B21 even. It seems like a way to waste tax payer money by saying they're cheap but they're cheap mostly because they're small.

>The original NGAD combat jet requirements were centered heavily on the idea of a direct replacement for the F-22 Raptor to perform the “job of going into a dense, highly protected airspace, and being able to penetrate and being able to establish your superiority, at least temporarily within over enemy territory,” Kendall said.
>The requirements subsequently evolved to put substantial emphasis on the “quarterback role” controlling Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) drones.
>Kendall also emphasized the significant amount of control that the U.S. government will exercise over the design and other intellectual property surrounding the jet, which could make it easier and faster to upgrade and otherwise evolve over time.
>“We’re not a prisoner of a prime [contractor], basically, for upgrades and for competing for modular components that can be added to replace other components as the life of the aircraft goes on,” the former Air Force secretary said.
>Kendall has been an outspoken critic of Lockheed Martin’s dominance when it comes to the F-35 program, describing it as “acquisition malpractice.”

you don’t really need all that extra weight for longer range accuracy as much as you do with say 5.56 or .308 do you?
Also the RMR apparently sits lower than traditional BUIS meaning you can use the BUIS in darker environments without having to look through the optic, something many struggle with if they have a full size EO installed
Thoughts?

Academy Sports + Outdoors ran a $5 off with in-store pick up deal on any order of $5.01 or more this Thursday. However, nothing was stopping you from making a bunch of individual orders and using that $5 off an infinite number of times. that meant everything was $5 off or items below $5 were free.
My ammo haul included
>23 boxes of Remington Slugs and individual fishing hooks (37¢ per box/$8.51 total/7.4¢ per slug AFTER TAX)
>19 boxes of Monarch 22lr and 1/8oz fishing weights (30¢ per box/$5.70 total/0.6¢ per round AFTER TAX)
>20 boxes of Frontier 5.56 ($5.31 per box/$106.20 total/26.5¢ per round AFTER TAX)
>20 boxes of Monarch Steel Case 9mm ($5.31 per box/$106.20 total/10.6¢ per round AFTER TAX)
>7 boxes of Estate Champion 12ga ($5.31 per box/$37.17 total/21.2¢ per round AFTER TAX)
Why didn't I order more?
I did, 10 more boxes of 9mm (of which 6 were canceled today), 10 more boxes of 22lr (of which 9 were canceled today), and 7 more boxes of Estate 12ga (of which 6 were canceled today), but it looks like they figured it out overnight so most of my next day pickup orders were canceled.

I'll be starting with what is probably the most ubiquitous photograph of him with a weapon, the K2C, a carbine variant of the South Korean K2 assault rifle. After doing some research, a number of K2C1s entered service with the Philippine National Police in 2019. Obviously this photo predates that so I suspect it's a test rifle that was sent over for evaluation some years prior.

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.

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

>The drone in question is believed to be of Israeli origin, along with its data link and ground control station. Despite having an encrypted data link, the PLA still managed to take over its controls. This raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of existing encryption measures and the risks of relying on foreign technology in critical defense systems. Furthermore, this event underscores the pressing need for India to reassess its dependence on imported UAV technology and strengthen its security measures.
>China’s familiarity with Israeli UAV technology is not new. In fact, during the 1980s and 1990s, Israel’s drone technology played a crucial role in shaping China’s early UAV programs. Although China now leads in drone manufacturing with advanced systems like the Wing Loong and CH-series, much of its foundational UAV knowledge originates from Israeli technology. This long history of exposure gives China a strategic advantage in understanding and potentially exploiting vulnerabilities in similar systems used by other nations.
>During the 1990s, China acquired Harpy drones from Israel. However, after facing U.S. pressure, Israel recalled these drones. China later developed the ASN-301, which experts widely believe to be a reverse-engineered version of the Harpy. This demonstrates China’s deep understanding of Israeli UAV technology.

In Lithuania, US armed forces are trying to lift up the M88 armored vehicle which cost the lives of 4 crewmen. It sank into a swamp during an exercise. The M88 hercules weights 63 tons, and "Could not have sank into worse position". It's basically all marshy quicksand, and they have difficulties to even get close to it.
“Although many skeptics would probably say that there is nothing to hope for in these circumstances, I want to hope,” President Gitanas Nauseda of Lithuania said during a visit to the site on Friday. “I am still hoping for a miracle,” he added.
Man, he does not want to give up.
They basically need a heavy-duty crane to lift it up, but then there is a problem that the crane itself is in danger of sinking into the swamp. They have tried creating land walls to keep the water away, pumping away the water and making temporary roads in order to get to it, but ...it's the god damn swamp of sadness. It's hard to even get close.
The sadness got to them, bros...

Assuming your only restriction is no non-manual operating systems (that means no NFA, GCA, other restrictions), what guns would you use?
What guns would militaries use?
Does the average person realize how big these planes actually are? I feel like people assume the canopy is just barely small enough for one or two people to sit in. The canopy area itself is as big as a short but and there's plenty of room to walk around while not actively flying, and they have beds, a small kitchen, bathroom including a shower and most the people hook up a medium sized tv and gaming console for very long flights. The plane itself is longer than 3 school buses end to end. I feel like most people don't realize this.
For me, it's the McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom II.

With the whole industry racing to Business Class - trying to capture their piece of the overpriced 1911/2011 market – amid a wider reactionary turn away from carry minmaxing, what happens to plastic? Where does the race to the bottom actually bottom out, and does something new start from there?
It seems like the polymer-and-steel perfection™ paradigm is currently dying. But it's mostly dying from ever-cheaper clones and pushback against strikerslop as premium firearms, not from actual counterexamples making use of either more interesting metals (Al/Be/Mg/Sc/Ti) or better substitutes for Polymer 2 and its analogues.
So. Which way, western hand?

Only snag is, we just found out we're not bringing our own ammo (55 gr.), and we're gonna be using M855A1 62gr. over there instead because of some customs fuck up.
I've been doing some reading trying to see if that's a big deal, and so far it doesn't seem to be a major thing, but then again I'm a bit of a scrub when it comes to ballistics, hence why I'm coming to get some advice here.
We're using a 20" Barrel with a 1:7 Twist rate, which if I read right, should perform maybe a bit better in the rifle than our own 55gr. does, but I don't know how true that is.
What I really want to know is how is it going to affect our zeros. What should I expect to see on the range when we get there? You think I'm gonna be far off or will the difference be negligible?
Also just a general ballistics thread I suppose, may as well learn an extra thing or two while I'm at it. Link any good info, books, videos on ballistics you have.

The war would have gone on into 1946, 47 and even 48. Aside from nukes being dropped on duisburg, what other major weapon developments would have occurred? Let's say Hitler got killed in an assassination and his successor wasn't afraid of using gas weapons. Let's say B-29s we're deployed to Europe.
Let's say the Germans were able to put sufficient synthetic fuel production deep underneath bunkers.
What would the war look

>losses are irrelevant
