What does /k/ think of the modular meme?
It seems Russia is also trying out their own meme ship.
The Project 20386 Corvette retains the 100mm gun of the Project 20380 Steregsomething ships and carries 16 Redut VLS for SAM (up from 12 in the current 20381) also the towed sonar and Paket-NK anti torpedo and anti submarine system also 8 Uran Kh-35 anti ship missiles.
Aside from the stealth meme look, the major change is in its interchangeable armaments.
It can carry 2 small boats and 2 helicopters for anti piracy or rescue or change it to 2 underwater drones for anti-sub. The helicopter can carry torpedoes. and the containers can carry anti sub missiles.
It can juggle 2 helicopters instead for covert green water ops plus 2 small boats, it can carry 4 aerial drones (I believe Russia is asking for the Gorizont Air S-100 domestication) to act as visual guide for the missile of other corvettes. It can also carry 2 Ka-31 AEW Helicopter carrier for land based IADS.
And it can carry 2 containers of Kalibr missiles (4 missiles each) and a Ka-52K that can carry 2 Kh-35 missiles for anti shipping duty also the ship has 8 Kh-35 missile launchers too. Or if another corvette is given the spotting duty it can carry 4 containers of Kalibrs or Kh-35 instead, only it can fire the first 2 containers before it can fire the second salvo of 8 more.

They have big drones.

There is nothing wrong with modular design, and now that the russians are doing it too im sure my russian friends who incessantly shitpost the lcs will think its the best thing since sliced bread.
It is interesting to note that, while the LCS started as a modular ship and now is being moved to a frigate, the russian ship started life as a corvette (really about the same size as the freedom class) and moved to a modular design.
We will see if it effects anything.
Based on the Saudi frigate, however, the LCS frigate is looking like a mean bitch.

Good. I think this masterpieces of Russian engineering will be ready in 20 years. It they didn't run out of money,
Let's discuss helmets.
Is a good battle helmet worth the money? Which helmet do you think offers the best overall protection In combat?
>>30615885
Who loves orange soda?!
>>30615955
Why?
>>30615885
>Is a good battle helmet worth the money?
Is it worth protecting your most essential and vulnerable body part from potential insta-kill projectiles? Hell yes, if you ask me.
>Which helmet do you think offers the best overall protection In combat?
The new ECH, which is rated NIJ Level III, but is shaped and told to weight like the modern ACH helmets.
Otherwise, I'd go with a IIIa PASGT-like "full" helmet. More coverage all around. Another option would be those Russian Sphere helmets, which are weighty, but do have large coverage and high level of protection. The latest one has been shown to stop even 7.62x54R.
I'm looking for a weapon that isn't just a means to defend myself, but is also a fashion statement. I want people to know that I'm armed, but that I'm also well to do. Recommendations?

>I want people to know that I'm armed, but that I'm also well to do
5.7
>>30615265
P30 compact maybe? you dont want people to know youre armed. what sort of car do you drive?
honestly don't know much about physics but say we're around 13,500ft lbs, and the armor will equally distribute the force no deformation, would the gs still kill you? how would you calculate? do we need a suit weight? say >380lbs*(?)
*www.medcalc.com/body.html
my surface area is 1.6m=16000cm x (4.5gTi densityx2.4)=172800g=380lbs of Titanium for an inch of body coverage (would be less since it wouldn't be skin tight, make use of spheres etc)
>>30613926
Yes, you would survive if you had enough armor to survive. Next question.
>>30613926
No.
Extended version: Unless you consider AFVs to be armor, then no.
>>30613926
No reasonably shoulder fireable bullet has enough force behind it to kill you via blunt trauma through armor.
I am thinking about purchasing a FN FNX in .45 ACP. It has a double stack magazine that holds 15rds. I was wondering what some of you guys were thinking about this pistol.
better than usp, not cooler than usp. squishy squishy just kidding
>>30613734
its sexy as fuck, threaded barrels get my dick hard, .45 stronk, and never once have i had a ftf or fte
its one of those pistols that just does everything right
>>30613734
SQUISHY SQUISHY
Honestly though it would probably work great as a fleshlight
So what was the appeal/use of these guns?
I can't phantom a purpose for a gun that can sperg out 100 rounds a minute but can't hit the wide side of a barn over 100 yards.
>>30613344
*meant 1000 rounds a minute
>>30613344
Because Ghost in the shell and other movies gave me a boner for them so fuck you
>>30613344
Farting all the bullets everywhere will eventually kill something.
