OSINT officer dunking on the Russians.
> Russia has, at the most basic levels shown a level of incompetence that's legitimately startling. I've had to spend years studying 'what to do if we go to war with the Russians' and this war has made it look like we were all fools for thinking of how dangerous they'd be. It legitimately caused me a small identity crisis because it's like the world turned into a Parody of every 1950s-80s propaganda piece and dumb shooter game.

Not even a Ukraine fan, but LMFAO.

At the end of the day were they based?

is it safe to say the war is over for Hamas? They only still exist because Biden/Kamala Harris are protecting their last stronghold in Rafah. The only hope for the survival of the resistance is the Democratic Party.

is it viable?

so, if the iron sands are really high purity. what was the cause of japan having a reputation for shit iron and having shit iron during WWII? was it just a low yield/not having enough of it issue?

The British Army is beginning to ‘ramp down’ production of its existing assault rifle, the SA80, designated L85A3, ahead of the induction of its replacement system under Project Grayburn.

In January 2022 a Parliamentary written response revealed that the UK had a total inventory of 134,912 SA80A2 variants and 17,900 SA80A3 variants, held across defence.

The Brazilian Army, through its Logistics Command (COLOG), has revealed the contenders for its Wheeled Self-Propelled Artillery Vehicle (WSPA) project. This announcement highlights the candidates that meet the detailed criteria specified in the project's tender. The models still in contention include China's SH15, Israel's ATMOS, France's CAESAR, and the Czech Zuzana 2.

The technical specifications required for future WSPAs include a 155 mm NATO-standard howitzer as the primary armament, capable of firing both standard and specialized ammunition. The artillery piece must have a minimum barrel length of 52 calibers and a service life of less than 2000 shots at maximum charge, with a firing range exceeding 500 kilometers. The system must enable precision strikes with a deviation of less than 80 meters for standard munitions and less than 120 meters for assisted projectiles at distances of 20 kilometers and 30 kilometers respectively. These vehicles must also be capable of storing and transporting at least 16 full charges.

The WSPA must be ready to aim and fire within three minutes of positioning and leave its position in less than two minutes after firing. The inclusion of a semi-automatic loading mechanism and the ability to maintain a firing rate of at least four shots per minute are also required.

Can anyone fucking tell me why we still haven't got a reliable, good, semi-automatic, mag-fed shotgun on the civilian market? The ideas are there, literally any company could do it. It's not illegal.

Apologize, right fucking now.
