“The Marine Corps declaring the F35 ready for combat was merely a PR exercise.” Smithberger says ideally when jets are taken into combat they need to be ready to go about 80-percent of the time, during this test they were having trouble getting them to work 50 percent of the time.

>The way around this for the MoD is to stress that only one carrier is likely to be operational at any time, with the other being used for training or being refitted, so planes would only be needed for one.
>The MoD originally wanted 138, then slashed it to 48. The plan is to buy an initial 16 F-35s and reassess the position when the carriers are in service.

Considering it's more realistic than Fallout, but not as realistic as say STALKER, nor certainly not ARMA, still. What level of nukes would have rendered Moscow as it is in Metro? MT ranges, KT ranges? In show, is this basically what a city would look like post Full Exchange?

You really can't say, since the destruction seems to follow the rule of cool, with many building inexplicably intact.
Though I'd say relatively low yield overall.

So I'd understand correctly full exchange would have left NOTHING but water filled radioactive craters?

I wouldn't say that, but there'd definitely be far less than shown in the games.
The lore states that it was mostly a mix of chemical and biological bombs with a few nukes thrown in the mix, as well as space soviet psychic technology/supernatural shit that's never really explained.
It isn't realistic by any measure.
Still insanely cool setting though, as well as depression-inducing.

I was wondering, /k/, what do you guys think is the best legal to carry blade for self defense? Something that can hold an edge, isn't too big or too small, and is durable, obviously.

Why was the AIM-54 retired when it was basically the perfect air-to-air missile? Couldn't they have upgraded it?
>Kills bombers in one hit
>Powerful enough to kill multiple fighters in one blast
>200 km range (could have gone further with upgrades)
>Mach 5.0+ (no escape)
Since they're trying to make a new longer-ranged missile, they should just bring back a new, improved version of the AIM-54 that is compatible with the F-35.

AR15; the basic white girl. shes cute and fun. she demands so many expensive accessories and for just $100 more, you can get her the better version of said accessory. she will bleed your wallet dry. she is on the cover of every magazine and is sleeping with every other chad out there but you are okay with that because she is america's sweetheart rifle and you are happy to have your chance with her.

Anyone know any good SHTF and hunting rifles? My budget is under 300, not including ammo, or work needed. Christmas is coming early, I've decided.

That's a small budget. Nugget and ammo?
Just saying, you don't need to drop a lot of coin for a short-medium range hunting rifle with decent irons.
Sight it in with 147gr surplus ammo, confirm sight-in and hunt with 150gr soft points.

So I've never owned a gun, held a gun, or even shot a gun before.
I'm living all on my alone now and in a very bad neighborhood. I've came to the realization I would feel much safer inside of my home with a firearm. Regardless of my political views and their stereotype I think at this point its the right thing for me.
So /k/ what would you recommend considering my situation and budget?
also pls no judge

If you're replacing the mag there's good chance the gun is empty.

What's the smallest military unit capable of independent operations? A battalion? A company? A regiment?
How would an infantry company get armored support? Do armor companies transfer men and material where needed or are they only deployed at company strength etc?
If you were trying to take a small island (~250km2) held by two companies of infantry and some limited armor/air assets, what would the smallest sized unit capable of it? Assume a wider conflict necessitates diverting as few men and as little material as possible to it while still getting the job done.

This seems like a loaded question.
Because devgru does operations with 6 man groups
HOWEVER they have huge logistical support.
Does logistics count as being a part of the unit?
>>
>>27952351
>what would the smallest sized unit capable of it?
massive air campaign and one guy with a pointy stick to poke the charred bodies

>>27952373
No, assume naval logistics for the attackers in this scenario and a miniature normandy style beachead to get it to frontline futher inland.
