it's all meaningless edition
I don't want to give all the details, but the short version is I'm being reclassed to a tanker and there's very little I can do about it.
hold me /gq/. Im in a bad place right now.
Only gun is a lee enfield. I want some modern molle synthetic load bearing gear to go with it.
Would it be a good idea to get an RLCS and a bunch of grenade pouches to hold the .303 clips? What else do you guys put on your load bearing gear?
>>31792395
I just left active duty as a Airborne 13F from the 82nd, and I'm in a Reserve Quartermaster unit as a shower laundry guy now. It could be worse.
Trade, buy, sell, ogle, then around the 250-300 post mark we get weird!

Are there any ALS type holsters made for guns with lights where the trigger can't be pulled while the gun is holstered?
Before you ask, it happened.

>Glocks
>even safe in their holster
Well, fuck. The next school shooter is going to be the community resource officer who thought the entire freshman class was going for his gun between periods.
thats the whle point of a holster.... find me one that doesnt cover the trigger.
>>31792867
The ALS, the most common type of holster in LE, does not cover the trigger guard completely if it's a light bearing holster. Seeing as most PDs use glocks and a glock's safety is the holster itself, it's just a shitty situation all around. The guys that have to wrestle people that may grab their gun shouldn't have a half exposed trigger. Of course if the damn thing had a safety like it should this wouldn't be a problem.
So basically my options are
>no light on gun while working night shift
>trigger exposed and open for anyone to glockleg me

I have three bags of these fuckers. Different sizes, but all unused and dark blue.
No idea what service they're for, but the lack of army property stamps leads me to believe they're police kit.

ALEPPO, SYRIA (the PM 12:45) - of The Kurdish-led "Syrian Democratic Forces" (the SDF) Carried out a successful The ambush Against a group of Turkish Army soldiers and the Islamist Rebels near the key town of Mar'e in northern Aleppo.
According to the a pro-the rebel "Syrian Observatory for the Human Rights" (SOHR), the surprise attack WAS Carried out AT the Twihineh area of northern Aleppo, near the Shahba the Dam.
of the SOHR Also added That MANY Turkish soldiers and Rebels Were Killed Seized as with a result of this abrupt attack in northern Aleppo on Saturday night.
Can someone redpill me on war in general? All I can tell from clips is people shooting randomly from cover at nothing at particular. What range do small arms have? Artillery? How would an actuall assault on an urban area play out? How many soldiers in a formation? Are my questions making sense, I don't even know how to ask properly. Thanks

that's bullshit but i'll believe it
Seeing all those SKSen in that arsenal thread got me pining to see just how many /k/omrades own a SKS. Don't be lazy faggots, take pics of your rifles.

> What's this thread about?
As usual this thread is for the discussion and pics of tracked and wheeled AFVs of all kinds from MBTs to supertanks to self propelled AA guns. Please keep it civil and cite sources for statistics.
Germany was not alone in its belated replacement of M42 Dusters in its arsenal – the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces. The redoubtable Mitsubishi was contracted to provide such a solution, and full scale engineering efforts began in 1982, with a prototype being finalised by 1983. In 1987, the new SPAAG was accepted into service with the designation Type 87. The Type 87 shared a number of similarities with its German counterpart, the Gepard, armed with a license built twin 35 mm Oerlikon KDA autocannon from Japan Steel Works, and mounted on a Type 74 MBT chassis, itself resembling the contemporary German Leopard 1. Originally, Mitsubishi had intended to utilise the Type 61, but with the proliferation of the Type 74 quickly switched over to the new tank. The cannons can achieve a rate of fire of 550 rpm and possess a muzzle velocity of 1175 m/s offering a range of up to 4 km with full stabilised firing on the move. The radar and fire control suite also resemble that of the Gepard’s with the Super Fledermaus FCS coupled with a E/F band Doppler search radar and a J Band Doppler tracking radar with a range of 15 km. Furthermore, the vehicle sports a laser warning device, a laser rangefinder and night vision equipment. One major distinguishing feature, however, is the hydropneumatic suspension on the SPAAG, able to adjust to various types of terrain. Powering it is the Mitsubishi 10ZF Type 22 ten-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine, allowing the vehicle to tackle gradients of 60 degrees and a side slope of 30 degrees.

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated.
Welcome back to a new thread everyone. I’m thinking of doing another “special” or rather “extended” thread soon, and I’ll probably run a poll of some sort, so keep an eye out for that.
Otherwise, regarding the Type 87, there’s really not too much to say about it. In what seems like a trend in my discussions of JGSDF equipment and experience, what their vehicles lack in combat history or in innovation as such, they make up for in being efficiently designed and capable tools for their specific roles. The modern Japanese military has a history of taking on technology from the west and incorporating it into their domestic designs, from the navy to the ground forces, and the Type 87 was no different as it stuck closely to the tried and tested value of Oerlikon’s 35 mm AA suite. What resulted, as we all know, was an impressive piece of modern battlefield equipment with a mix of indigenous and foreign componentry. Currently around 50 are in service, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. If anyone has any interesting translated Japanese sources, I would be eager to know.
Finally, I would like some extra, or more obscure suggestions that I haven’t done yet. In the area of SPAAGs and other AA systems, there are always a peculiar bunch of prototypes that never made it to the production line.
Also, I found this on imgur recently, it’s an impressive overview of the equipment in PLA formations on a unit basis, and a partial look at its order of battle. https://imgur.com/a/wk2zo#LMS1lXX

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I’ll further elaborate and provide links.
The Italian Centauro II was exhibited on the 19th of October at the Checchignola Army Range on the outskirts of Rome to a gathered crowed including the Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff Danilo Errico. The Army is reportedly intending to purchase 150 of the Centauros, a joint venture between Leonardo and Iveco.
The Turkish military and defense officials are currently contemplating whether to upgrade its vast fleet of M60 Pattons and Leopard 2 MBTs. Industry source state that the prospective upgrade of around 100 vehicles would cost Ankara nearly $2-3 million USD per vehicle, with the contract being likely forwarded to the Rheinmettal – BMC – Etika Strategi joint venture group RBSS.
The United States Army’s Combined Arms Centre is currently initiating revisions of the Army Field Manual 3-0, effectively the defining document on the fighting doctrine of the Army in unified operations. The new and updated doctrine will liely debut at AUSA next year, with profound implications for the future of the US Army.
NORINCO is expected to debut the export variant of its ZTQ light tank at the Zhuhai Air Show, designated the VT-5. Furthermore, a successor the ZBL-09 wheeled armoured fighting vehicle is also expected to be unveiled at Zhuhai, with a new chassis based on the VP-10.
The Ukrainian satellite manufacturer Yuzhnoye SDO is collaborating with Rheinmetall to develop a new air defense system with 35 mm autocannons. Based on the chassis of a wheeled APC, it will also equip the common Oerlikon Revolver 35 mm.
And that’s all for now.
Did someone say JGSDF armor?
