Kind of a /k/ spooky thread but also kind of serious. The American interior is massive. There are countless regions where the human population "officially" is zero for hundreds of square miles, even thousands. While we've all heard and have enjoyed stories of cryptids and things such as wendigos and shit. My curiosity shifts more to the realistic, albeit still surreal possibilities that these regions could be host to everything ranging from organized crime running things such as drug labs to outcast groups either politically or religiously motived or just deranged to live out in the middle of nowhere. This possibility leads my imagination into wondering; what if it's true? What if there could be straight up organized crime groups waging guerrilla warfare against each other in the middle of nowhere with even the US military being involved, either sending in SF to kill them and wipe out any evidence to keep the public dark or even funding them CIA style. There could be firefights being waged right now and nobody would know other than those directly involved in said firefights.
The possibility gets even stranger when you factor in weird mystery stories of experienced hikers with years to decades experience going missing, just for the search for these people being conducted in very weird ways, with even Army SF getting involved, searching areas blocked off from local law enforcement to "find them".
What does /k/ think of all of this and what theories and or stories do you guys have to share? Also, just general spoopy thread because why the fuck not?
I am Looking everywhere for an early DP28 barrel with cooling fins but the only people who had them were from Apex Gun parts and they were sold out quickly. I was wondering if one of you gentlemen (preferably one of the Slavic variety) has the measurements/diagrams for one of these OG Degtyaryov barrels. It may be costly but I could pay a gunsmith to turn down several of them for me and sell the surplus online to recoup losses. This sounds stupid/autistic to be looking for cooling fin dimension/measurements but aesthetics are important for firearm design and I want my semi-auto Dp-build to check that particular box. Also, WTF is this cool Knob charging handle was it a feature of the early DP-27 or something the fins added as an extra.
Can someone explain to me (retard) how covering an aircraft in these split semicircle circuits painted on honeycomb lattices makes stealth bombers invisible?
Also if you could explain how iron ball paint (archaic f-117 version of this) hides shit from radar, I would appreciate that.
New report by the Conflict Intelligence Team on T-90M production. https://notes.citeam.org/eng_t90 >According to our estimates, Uralvagonzavod produced 60-70 T-90M tanks in 2022. In 2023, amid efforts to mobilize the defense industry, output may have increased to 140-180 tanks, and by 2024, it may have surpassed 200 units annually, possibly approaching a production rate of 250-300 tanks per year.
