/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

Wearing protection at protests is illegal in Germany. The term is Passivbewaffnung, being passively armed. Police can beat you up without provocation on your part, aside from the provocation of being "armed". The press will then report that the police had a conflict with "armed" protestors. Then you can look at the commentary by boomers on social media as well as by reputable mainstream pundits saying in unison that it's sensible for the police to defend itself and the public against violent protestors.

worker gear is more expensive than black clothes though (and might get confiscated)

you have to be ex-military so that's the first step

thats not fair

what about joining putin meat machine? will that work?

that will probably get you killed.
Get really fit and join the french foreign legion.

You have to record yourself killing someone and then send it to the proper channels

Obviously not always compatible with an offense, but the best way to get away with it is to obfuscate or hide the fact a crime was committed. It's easy to get away if no-one is looking.

On the other hand, a suit would be a pretty good disguise for many crimes.

space shuttle was probs the most expensive instrument of war minus the satellite grids/cost to launch them

dont forget why the shuttle was made, the not so cold war…

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.

Probably a smoke grenade.

Listen to this and draw your own comclusion

So in the context of ukraine receiving some F16, I was thinking about how air defence has progressed enough that modern jets have kinda become overkill (and even worse, overpriced) for the task they can actually accomplish without being shot down, namely, being launch platform for long range missiles and doing anti recon/suicide drone patrol duty (like seen in the iran demonstration attack against israel).
For these task, using a full blown, state of the art, 5th gen stealth jet airplane is completely unnecessary and a waste of resources. A ww2 style fighter would do the job just as well for a fraction of the price.

And indeed, ukrainian seem to have apparently used an old yak 52 training plane for shooting down drones with great success. So much that russia apparently shot an iskander at it.
Given that you can buy a yak for around 50.000€ and an iskander is estimated at around 3.000.000$, I think theres a lot of potential in going back to cheap non jet aircrafts for many tasks.

>forbes
LMAO no. Russia shot down those several times. Jet fighters are needed, as are slower low-tech aircraft, as are SAMs. This is what combined warfare is. The USSR leaned heavily on air-defenses and made the best in the world, but it still had a significant aircraft fleet, because air defenses alone are not getting the job done. Drones have vulnerabilities, and low-tech strike aircraft are niche.
>For these task, using a full blown, state of the art, 5th gen stealth jet airplane is completely unnecessary and a waste of resources.
True, which is why the Su-57 has been used against priority high-threat targets rather than doing what the Su-34 and Su-25 do. the Su-57 can absolutely mount the same weapons as those two, but it's a waste of time.

Additionally only low tech aircraft is a good way of high losses in a high-tech peer-conflict, or even a near-peer conflict. In the Gulf-war the A-10 had some of the highest loss rates of ANY aircraft in that war and many of its missions were accomplished by F-16s and F-15Ds at standoff ranges, in part because the US coalition lacked proper SAM defenses and relied only on air-superiority rather than a combined arms approach, they were lucky the Iraqis were weaker and more disorganized.

>LMAO no.
no what ? do you deny you can shoot down a recon drone with a simple motor airplane ?

>Russia shot down those several times
even if they did, the idea was more using it into your own safe airspace. And using any missile to shoot it down, you're still paying too much.

>Jet fighters are needed, as are slower low-tech aircraft, as are SAMs. This is what combined warfare is
no shit, way to miss the point.

>rather than doing what the Su-34 and Su-25 do.
any jet fighter will be a magnitude more expensive than a regular motor plane

>only low tech aircraft
I didnt advocate for having ONLY them. But do you really need a jet for lobbing FAB-500s ?

Your spacing is ass, please don't do this.
>no what ?
You realize that people can scroll up and see exactly what I'm saying "no" to right? The fact is that Ukraine has failed to shoot down drones with its trainers, since it's literally pulling WW-1 shit, with people firing handguns out of open cockpits. There's literally a Russian drone video where they try and fail to shoot it down.
>even if they did, the idea was more using it into your own safe airspace.
*laughs in long range SAM*
You realize that Ukraine has been using very long range stand-off weapons like cruise missiles and are STILL getting shot down, right? Only a few days ago an Su-35 shot down a MiG-29 - which was using a HARM missile in a long-range ground-strike - from over 200km away, with an R-37. Earlier in the war the S-300V4 set a similar record kill from a similar distance of over 200km. An S-400 shot down an Su-27 over Kiev earlier in the war from 150km away. Pantsir, Osa and Tor SPAAG/SAMs have shot down numerous low-flying missiles, drones and other aircraft.
>using any missile to shoot it down, you're still paying too much.
If you're an idiot using patriot anti-ballistic long-range missiles against drones. A single Tor missile costs maybe a couple thousand dollars. A single yak-52 costs 50-100 thousand dollars, so you're dead wrong.
>way to miss the point.
I didn't miss your point. I don't disagree in the necessity of low-tech aircraft, but not like Ukraine is doing, and frankly an attack chopper would do just as well, if not better.
>any jet fighter will be a magnitude more expensive than a regular motor plane
Any jet fighter would also be magnitudes more effective.
>do you really need a jet for lobbing FAB-500s
In an SAM-heavy air-space like Ukraine? YES.

There is a lesson there. Stop being emotional, stop eating the propaganda slop, study everything and look closely at the serious people involved in war and political theory. Honestly I didn't need to do half of that to be sure that this stupid war would last a while so if you were wrong you really need to revamp your way of thinking

as cool as crossbows are, his "instant legolas" bow is even neater I think. And easier to make DIY and less regulated too !

Tbh there's better options in the form of airgun, airbow, or using black powder/antique.

>>5712
I disagree as crossbows tend to be deadlier than any kind of airgun at the same price.

I feel like for the risk involved trying to defend yourself from an intruder in the best case scenario with a crossbow and how houses are built in countries with such gun laws, investing in a 3D printer and learning chemistry might be your best shot…

at least that's what i thought but my father saw a mile away what i wanted a 3D printed for and prohibited me from printing guns… he didn't say anything about AP mines tho

The government can track the signals of an antenna drone. If you were to do this in your minecraft server you'd want a fiber optic drone like seen in Ukraine. Though if they find the drone itself they can track the manufacturer and buyer. Your absolute best bet is 3d printing as many components as possible and buying the wiring and hardware with cash.

dying by a gun seems preferable to dying of the plague tbh
