Electromechanical Works Podolsk unveiled the first non C&C Russian 4x4 vehicle in a long time, the Samnum at the 2017 Armada Convention.
It's armed with 2 automatic ZU-23 / 30M1-4 guns and is manned by a crew of 3. It's purpose is to hit flying targets with a range of up to 2,5km.
It's max speed is 160km/h and has an autonomy of 1000km. It weighs 6,5 tons.

So the real question is, why the fuck did they decide to make 4x4 vehicles again?

Why not? 4x4s are great, and they alredy use tons of 4x4s

Does or has there ever been a time where Tankettes have been useful/practical/effective?

airborne operations, recon, COIN,...

Most countries that would use tankettes also have a boner for wheeled vehicles, though.

Decent, but they tended to outpace the infantry. Any tank with a high explosive round and machine guns can do infantry support, it's the heavy cav aspect that's hard to perfect.

its much easier to shoot it down
I dont know, it would be cool to have the rotorded planes back in air again, doing small missions, slow and steady wins the race, jeb, no it doesnt, JEB, they are low on range, JEB, very low energy. JEB
Depends on what you mean by modernize it, rotorded planes were 'modernized' when jet engines were made.
Interesting subject nonetheless

BRING BACK THE P-51!!!!

Body Armor Requirements. I always hear the argument for Level 4 armor being that the military will have AP rounds. How common is it for soldiers to even be issued AP rounds?

New standard issue "ball" has a very large (compared to M855) steel penetrator.

But ceramics behave differently then steel, same with Poly plates. Im curious how they would do against the new A1 rounds. I have seen poly ceramic combos plates rated for 308 AND green tip (i know its not nij certified) but there are videos of people shooting them and the plates stopping them.

It's not very likely to survive a gunshot wound to the head. Though, there was a cop that did but ended up going into an eleven year coma. He missed the gulf war and the like but he did live normally afterward.

Hypothetically, let's say I'm conceal carrying and working at a convenience store and a guy armed with a gun comes in to rob me. Let's say I pretend to acquiesce and let him behind the til to empty the cash register. Let's say I happening to be standing behind him as he's emptying it and I mag dump into the back of his head. Would I go to jail for murder?

Saw a video a while back explaining that even if body armor stops a 12 gauge slug, the energy transferred through the plate into the wearer is enough to break bones and rupture internal organs, causing serious injury if not death. Ergo, the plate is useless.

That being said, since 308 has more energy than your typical shotgun slug, will it have the same effect? (i.e. seriously injuring/killing even if armor stop the projectile). OR does the shotgun slug have more of an effect bc. of greater mass?

For reference:

Average 12 Gauge Slug
Muzzle Energy - 2664 Foot Pounds
Weight - 300 Grains

Average .308 Round
Muzzle Energy - 2648 Foot Pounds
Mass - 150-180 Grains

>>35019886
Level III hard plates stop slug without problem without causing serious injury. kevlar on the other hand stops slugs but the energy really can mush something inside. the difference is the area of impact (pressure and all that physical stuff).

Speed is king in defeating armor keep that in mind, for example a level IIIA kevlar will stop the slug but the energy making a gigantic back deformation that could kill u, the .308 will go through and kill u.
in a level III hard plate the slug will stop and not mush ur organs, the .308 will also stop but the back deformation will be bigger but will not cause damage

videos for reference

TL;DR
the plate is not useless dummy, kevlar vest is kinda useless for shotgun slugs

And what the fuck do you mean jenkem-tier tribal garbage?

Its genious, mixing coke with smokeless gunpowder. Who knows how the chemicals react with each other and what are the effects on your nose.
Weed is for dumb kids, and its a horrible drug for a battle, you would trip the fuck out like a bitch and would be useless and a danger to yourself and your team.

are there any reports of jewish soilders protecting palestinians or arabs?
