Re-dump of Cold War forces for Warsaw Pact & NATO. Site crashed in the middle of my last infodump.

Why does the modern military look so god damn fucked compared to the old stuff?

Because back then there were a few photographers working for the Armed Forces taking staged pictures and now you have a billion shmucks with cellhpone cameras.
Its just the latest fad, covering everything in velcro and pockets.
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/07/politics/us-china-planes-unsafe-intercept/index.html?eref=edition
>(CNN)A U.S. Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft flying Tuesday in international airspace over the East China Sea was intercepted in an "unsafe manner" by a Chinese J-10 fighter jet, several defense officials tell CNN.
>The Chinese jet was never closer than 100 feet to the U.S. aircraft, but it flew with a "high rate of speed as it closed in" on the U.S. aircraft, one official said. Because of that high speed, and the fact it was flying at the same altitude as the U.S. plane, the intercept is defined as unsafe.
>The officials did not know if the U.S. plane took any evasive action to avoid the Chinese aircraft or at what point the J-10 broke away. It is also not yet clear if the U.S. will diplomatically protest the incident. Officials said the RC-135 was on a routine mission.
So, can some fag here explaim me why the US is always whining abotu 'unsafe intercepts'? Of course a fighter jet is going to be much faster and manoeuverable than a slow spy-plane.
It is not that they flew barrel rolls at 50 feet around that spy plane this time, unlike in 2014, so this intercept is actually pretty tame.
And fighter jocks around the world like to show off their skills whenever they have the chance.

Hurry up and war China, we need cheap Milsurp again
I love how we're so eager to hug a dangerous autocracy like Mainland China while ignoring a working democracy like Taiwan.

Just picked up an M1A scout squad for my SHTF rifle, looking for advice on how I should molest it. Pic related, I really like the EBR set up, but I'm not sure how heavy I actually want it. I'm thinking I'll be carrying 6 20 round magazines with a ten rounder loaded to reduce weight. Anyone got anything to add? I really don't know much about scout scopes, but I am happy with the irons.
>>30217246
Ditch the 10 for a 20, learn how to use a sling.
Shameless bump; another set up I was looking at, but I hate the forward grip.
>>30217246
Reliably hit a dinner plate at 200 yards (something the rifle can easily do) before you rice it.
First context
>have large bit of private land
>fenced off and marked
>this one motherfucker drives through my fences and destroys them
>I in turn fortify my fences and other defenses and wait
>they return and destroy more
>etc
The perpetrator has a very large truck, what will best destroy him on his next attempt?
Latest defenses involved metal stakes placed in the ground at an angle as well as the fence itself. They were stopped momentarily but continued through the fence. I do believe it did quite some damage.
Small angled spikes high enough to puncture tires.
>>30215292
Put a fucking bullet in him. If he enters your property in a threatening manner (i.e. violently destroying your shit) you should blast his ass

Halo's Magnum
What does everyone think of a full sized, recoil operated 50 cal. Magnum automatic handgun
Pic related is the halo 2 model with no scope
>inb4 Summerfags tell me this belongs in /v/
>>30212059
it was OP as fuck in Halo 1, a decent backup when out of DMR ammo in Reach, and pretty much useless everywhere else.
It's more attractive than a desert eagle but I'd like the little scope that cones on it if it existed and I bought one. It wouldn't be the same without it since the halo 2 magnum sucked big brute cock
>>30212059
This belongs in /v/.
What the fuck is a "50 cal. Magnum"
Would you trust your life with this pistol?

It's 1985, the reds are streaming into west Germany and the happenings are real.
Post the good shit.
>>30211321
This thread has potential.
>you'll never be expected to hold an isolated city with no chance of reinforcement, for the sole purpose of defending democracy in west Berlin for a few more hours.

>It's 1985, the reds are streaming into west Germany and the happenings are real.
Why the fuck would they attack past their prime?
If they were going to attack, it would be before the 80s.
>A gun is a bad idea for bear protection
>Just use pepper spray
>>30211143
Thats what those faggots on /out/ all parrot
but what if the bear closes his eyes and just mauls your ass?
>>30211143
As much as I like bears and don't want them to get shot, a gun is a better defense than bear mace.
Most bears are very chill, and have no interest in attacking people. If they know you're around, they won't bother you.
Lots of bear attacks happen because the bear was startled by a person's sudden presence, and it attacks as a defensive reaction, then leaves once it feels the threat is over.
However, there are some problem bears, who have come to associate humans with food because idiots feed them.
Unfortunately, killing them is pretty much the only way to prevent them from attacking humans at that point.

And the worst part? I do cardio workout but completely neglect strength unless you could warehouse work.
When the skeletons rise they will see me as kin.
I can easily pass the Air force pt test, struggle to meet the army pt standards, and most of my body weight is fat. I can only workout 3 days of the week due to work.
