Do you fill put an application form or is it a job you make it to through connections? Is there a formula?

Why would you want to be a mercenary anyway? You'd either go to the third world to kill natives for the fatcat oil executives or you'd go to Ukraine and (no matter which side you join) be fighting for the interests of a Nazi Imperialist nation. I don't think they'd take someone out of shape and unexperienced either. Stick to your video games western man

Thread for hating on the F-35 "Lightning II" stealth turkey a.k.a the most expensive military project in history to date.

The USAF declared it ready for service in 2016
As of that date the following problems I can list just off the top of my head
- Vulnerable to lightning; it's practically a lightning rod https://archive.is/QSIii
- 0 redundancies in the cyber or mechanical aggregates; any malfunction
- RADAR glitches means it literally ahs to be turned off and on again https://archive.ph/EEd9y
- Ejection seat is banned for anyone 136 pounds or below and anyone not above 150 pounds has significant injury risk, it literally can break your neck.
- F-35 helmets glow too brightly for air-to-air refueling https://archive.is/pKE0Y
- F-35 helmets are so heavy at nearly 5 kilograms so that maneuvers cause them to bang their heads on the inside of the cockpit https://archive.ph/WsRxA https://archive.ph/dE1gP
(keep in mind these helmets are 400,000 dollars each).
- The oxygen system is unreliable (something that the F-22 shares) https://archive.ph/kGGKq

The Plane was supposed to be ready by 2010-12 having been projected in the early 2000s
the list of problems in its past and that are remaining in various levels of urgency number over 800.

UK F-35B fighter jet stranded in Kerala can't be repaired, likely to be dismantled: Report

https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/grounded-uk-f-35b-fighter-jet-in-kerala-cant-be-repaired-likely-to-be-dismantled-report-101751535447416.html

>The UK's F-35B fighter jet may be dismantled as on-site repairs are not possible. The British Navy plans to transport it. 


>The UK’s F-35B fighter jet, currently grounded at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in Kerala, couldn't be repaired on-site and is now likely to be dismantled, CNN-News18 reported, citing top government sources.


>According to the sources, the British Navy is sending a larger aircraft to transport the jet and has assured that all dues — including parking and hangar fees — will be settled with India, the report claimed.


>HT.com could not independently verify the authenticity of the development.


>The report, however, added that it’s not yet clear which components will be dismantled. A specialised rectification team from the UK is being sent to handle the process, it said.


>The F-35B jet, worth over USD 110 million and known to be one of the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world, made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport on June14.

>As all three variants of F-35s have aged, their full mission availability rates have declined, on average. For F-35Bs and F-35Cs, only the newest aircraft have generally had full mission availability rates above 10 percent.

Pierre Spray was a nut and a liar. The F-35 has great avionics and stealth, maneuvers decently, generates lift from the fuselage which makes his tiny wings point moot. The problem with the F-35 is it’s unreliable, the airframe can’t fit the mission, and the way the thing is serviced guarantees it won’t be available. It just doesn’t work 90% of the time.



 


Why are modern US soldiers such pussies? They constantly moan and complain about ptsd because they served a year as a drone operator that bombed dudes from an air conditioned room 3000km away from the front.

because reactionaries are paper tigers

It’s warrior cosplay, self-assuring theatre for people who cannot come to terms with the fact that they are nothing more than a glorified neocolonial police force, stepping on the weak.



 


The myth of the Battle of Luding Bridge tells of a small group of brave Red Army soldiers who heroically crossed a narrow, chain-suspended bridge under heavy fire to secure a critical escape route during the Long March.

However, historical evidence suggests the entire battle was greatly exaggerated. The defending troops were troops from a warlord Liu Wenhui. The Sichuan troops were poorly equipped, poorly trained, and considered a fourth-rate force. They had no machine guns, no mortars, and were underequipped. This likely resulted in lighter resistance than the dramatic accounts suggest, casting doubt on the scale of the intense firefight

Are there any methods for defending your country from a nuclear strike? So far it seems that nuclear war would lead to everything on the planet being wiped out, but could there be a way to neutralise the threat of nukes altogether?

I’m not a scientist or weapons expert or anything but hypothetically, could it be possible to create some sort of defence wherein the nukes are disabled before impact by neutralising the warhead with some sort of force field?

>Communist China is planned to withstand nuclear weapons.

Didn't like 20 million of you die in a famine not too long ago? And that was without the help of any mass extinction event, that was just your own bad planning; do you really think Communist China could endure the effects of a nuclear winter?

>>5859
Basically, no. The US tried to come up with a solution with SDI/Star Wars, and wasted $1 trillion on a boondoggle

>>5859
patriot missile batteries have a 75% chance of intercepting an ICBM before reentry and separation, and all that scary stuff. the plan with the US missile shield in the event of a nuclear war, is to launch 4 of them per ICBM. 0.75*4= approximately 97.5% chance of getting a hit or some number close to that IIRC. basically enough to probably protect against a rouge nation like north korea. not sure about the remaining 2% odds. not sure what happens if they get unlucky.

>>5883

Patriot missiles can't stop an ICBM, they are designed to intercept short-range missiles. The US has some missile defense systems that can intercept an IBCM moving at hypersonic velocities but they are not very effective and a country like Russia with thousands of nuclear warheads could easily overwhelm any defense system that current technology can produce.

It's possible that in the future, with major breakthroughs in material engineering, the military could develop working railguns which could potentially be used for intercepting hypersonic missiles, but then the enemy could use that same technology for launching nuclear warheads at hypersonic velocities that even your defensive railguns cannot intercept. This is the fundamental problem - any technology that has the power to defend against a weapon of mass destruction could just as easily be repurposed into a weapon of mass destruction. Technology reaches the point where the weapons are simply too powerful for anything to possibly defend against them and there's no putting that genie back into the bottle.

I gotta say if I was in a war type of scenario and a guy told me to affix my bayonet I totally would, so there may be some wisdom behind this quote. 💅

The only way to break a 90 degree ambush is the afix your bayonet and rush the enemy.

I remember reading All Quiet On The Western Front and the author mentioned something about how bayonets are not a great weapon because they tend to get lodged in the enemy's torso and that WW1 soldiers preferred to use a shovel for hand-to-hand combat.



 

Read about what the IRA and Spear of the Nation did in their homelands. Read about the Viet Minh and how they were formed. Read Clausewitz and Diem.

You have to start somewhere. Never forget, Castro had 60 fighters on the Granma. Spear of the Nation was five people at first. The Viet Minh had fewer than 500 members for years. The IRA probably never had more than 1000 at a time.

Shit is only going to change if you MAKE it change.
