Why is /k/ so into gladii?
>no handguard
>no counterweight
>made from wood and shitty iron, even the Celts laughed at that pot metal
>to short
It is about the worst sword that ever was and will lose in 1vs1 against pretty much every other sword there is.
Why so much love for this piece of junk? It literally is the Jimenez Saturday night special of the sword world.
Romaboos? General love for machetes? J

It's not designed for 1 v 1 fites with katana wielding faggots. It's designed to shiv the fuck out of the poor bastards that didn't realize they were being herded into the roman death machine. It performed that function exceptionally well.

Not sure where to ask this but this is probably the most appropriate place.
If you join the Air Force with intentions to fly a jet fighter, what are the actual chances of it happening?
If not a jet fighter, what about any other type of plane?
Anyone here fly in the Air Force?

Most of the fighter aircraft coasts millions to make. Then you need fuel, maintenance and weapons. If you want to fly those super expensive aircraft you're chances are slim. You most likely won't see any combat too. Then again american elections are coming up.

So /k/, let's pretend I live in a country whose borders and boundaries are frequently violated by a neighbouring, war monging country. The other country often sends planes, ships, and subs through our airspace and coastline.
Let's pretend there was just recently observated a non-identified submarine in a fjord near me. Our useless government used over five (5) hours to scramble a P3 Orion to observe. Anyone with more than two cents worth of opinions will know the submarine will have fucked off home or into international waters before that P3 can get anywhere close after five hours.
Let's say I have a .308 bolt rifle, a whole lot of ball, tracer, and AP rounds, and a good scope.
If I happened to open fire from a somewhat concealed position onto the sub's conning tower, could I potentially damage something important or expensive, or both? Of course this is just hypotethical but I want to know what I could do by shooting a dozen or more rounds into the tower from a range of 4-600m.
After shooting I would fuck off home.

All the IS-3 was ever good for was scaring western observers right at the outbreak of the Cold War. While it was intimidating rolling through Red Square, what you couldn't see in the parades were all the faults and issues that were left unresolved from a hastily engineered tank. Nor could you see all the troubles with the ill-adapted heavy 122mm gun which meant low ammo capacity and very low fire rate. It outclassed everything on paper but that was about it.

Aging is a bitch, especially when you hit "the wall". Most people hit in in their 30s. Suddenly over the course of a single year you can go for looking young and handsome, and next thing you know you got wrinkles, baggy eyes, and thinning hair.

How effective would a modern soldier be unarmed against soldiers from antiquity, assuming they are also unarmed? A random 11B in full battle rattle in ACUs and OTVs but without a firearm, versus a Greek Hoplite from 3000 BC with a shield but no spear.
I would assume the lack of martial training of the 11B would be counterbalanced by the relative malnutrition and stunting of the antiquity soldier - the modern soldier is likely to be significantly larger and stronger, but the hoplite is likely to have had decades of martial training.

War Diary 1939-1940 from Hans Wunderlich
4th Company 174th Infantry Regiment
1. From Glaucho to Neudorf
Snowflakes dancing around, the first Christmas trees being brought into the houses and cottages. Children with sparks in the in their eyes standing in front of shop windows.
Well, it’s Christmas soon. Then one day a written order is being brought for all of us, we have mixed feeling when orders arrive at this time of the year, the order is the call to report for Wehrmacht duty. Naturally, we all expected to be called up one day. Anyways, most of us are anxious to don the gray green coat of our Wehrmacht and join the ranks of those, who in September victoriously beat Poland, and now guard our Western frontier with iron will. Yes, now it is the time, Christmas 1939, the most celebrated days in Germany. Not time to worry, nor Contemplating, we pack our bags, why not celebrate Christmas with like minded comrades. On Dec. 11th 1939 a small rabble of civilians report in Glaucho. In front of the main guard house, the 1st Battalion of the 174th Infantry Regiment is formed. Two days later the appearance of the civilians has changed a bit, we look like Soldiers now, well, atleast from a distance. Our Company is drilled from day 1 in a hard way from our Company Commander, Captain Unterstab, who is not only a veteran of the great war, but also a dedicated and obedient National Socialist who, with his experience of war, takes us under his wings.
But alas the stay in Glaucho is not of long duration, already on Dec. 14th 1939 we board a train in freezing cold and the Journey takes us away from our beloved Saxon land and we cross into the Sudetengau (Sudetenland).
Trautenau is the town that receives us, even if for only 2 weeks. And it’s deepest winter here. We admire the view towards the Riesen Mountain range, the Schneekoppe, the unbelievable cold we won’t forget so easily, the warm barracks.

We admire the view towards the Riesen Mountain range, the Schneekoppe, the unbelievable cold we won’t forget so easily, the warm barracks. We are surprised one day to be issued with weapons, leftovers from the Czech Army, Constructed in an earlier war by Austrians. We celebrate out first Christmas in war time here in Trautenau.
2. Only a very few of our Company are in luck to go home for Christmas. By Dec. 28th we are on our way again, this time the destination is Oberlechen and the winter here last until March. We are now on a training grounded for the Army at Neuhammer. We celebrate the New Year in the comfortable houses of this camp. New Year 1940, what will it bring for us? Are we going to fight against the enemies of the Greater German Reich? Will this New Year bring us the expected peace? Where will the will of wind blow us? Will we be sacrificed to lay down our lifes for the Fatherland & our beloved Fuehrer. Those are questions that we all seem to ask ourselves at New Year. Whatever will be our destiniy, we are ready, even to give our lives, it is no phase to us, and Germany must live even if we must die. But the time has come now to adjust to a real Soldiers life, we learn to know the word ‘stress’. In snow and ice, wind and rain, we out win the woods, firing shots into the trees from the bunkers; yes we are going through a hard school of training. It’s amazing what’s expected of us and what we can take. We realize that we have to be trained well for when the time comes, we must be ready, we know despite these harsh winter conditions, the loneliness and, the duty, we know “Praise the life that makes us hard”. We stay in this area until the beginning of March 1940, then at last we again are on the move and board a train that takes us to Bunzlau, Tillendorf, from there we were on the march until the 9th of March to Groeditzberg in Silesia.

4th Company is assigned quarter in Neudorf, a nice village that at last we came in contact with people again, nice and friendly folks, we make acquaintances.
Here we are in the spring of 1940. Here we are also issued brand new machine guns, we are on the firing range day by day, the range is in a sand pit and we are top marksmen. Our company commander makes sure of that, I have to add that he also is very concerned about our welfare and under his watchful eyes, we are issued excellent food.
3. I never forget April 20th, Our Fuehrer’s birthday, the morning parade and beautiful “Hitler Weather”, the nice hours we had in the evening with a comradeship meeting and entertainment. Meanwhile, all eyes are focused on Northern Europe where our glorious, and heroic Comrades in arms took one of the prestigious British foot holds, Denmark, and Norway are now in German Hands. Heavy fighting is reported from around Narvik, our thoughts are with our Comrades, we wait for the hour were we too can participate and prove our ability to deal with our enemies.
I never forget this April 9th, when our Company Commander told us proudly, that German Troops had occupied Denmark & Norway. Who can forget the Gleam in the eyes of our Comrades?
We are ready to march, everyone of is.
But alas it is still waiting time for us. Early in May we are again on the firing range in battalion strength near Bunzlau. Wonderful spring weather is with us now. Who will ever forget May 10th, when a Message reached us, that Germany’s counter stroke has finally started in the west. We received this news over a portable radio while we were resting in a roadside ditch around noon. Now we know the hour has come for us it’s only a matter of a few days before our attack orders will come. How long now?? Where will we go??
A last kit and weapon inspection, one more drill, then at last, the order to move out. We are ready!

OK, and why would they let the indians get the money from exports? do they share profits, too?
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/With-China-on-its-mind-India-set-to-export-BrahMos-cruise-missile-to-Vietnam/articleshow/52672523.cms
I can accept that the russians agreed to the deal to counter the chinese, and because they didn't have enough money for the research... but, why the indians?
>>
>>31806772
Because indians were allways friendly|neutral to Russia? Because they are long-term buisiness partner? Maybe, simply because that is a large market, they can push US exporters from? You choose.
BTW, if Russians "develop something with someone" that means, that they get free trial version, financed and used by the co-developer. And domestic russian research can skip this step, basing next-gen development on the achieved data. Bramos is a good example. Indians will get solid AShM with current tech. But for domestic use, Russians develop "Zirkon", based off "Bramos", but hypersonic.
