Did the Soviets actually expect much from the Poles, Hungarians and Czechoslovaks if war broke out for real? Like how the fuck did they expect these guys to be loyal and fighting alongside the USSR given the debacles with 1956, 1968, and everything pertaining to Poland's occupation postwar? What role would the WP armies outside of East Germany actually play in a conflict?

the warsaw pact's military logistics were all organized around a defensive posture, not an offensive one. if a land war had ever come it would have been western forces pushing eastward, and it's much easier to convince people to fight for their own homes than someone else's

In most of the world you can hardly own a handgun.

Nice 02 sticker! But it would be better without the "ALONE" so you could see her pretty eyes.

Me when artillery bombards your tanks and truckerinos because they have predictable movements allowing us to plan killzones for then

I don’t own land. I won’t be staying in one place longer than four years. I don’t have funding. No tunneling possible.

You need a shovels, big and small for dirt and sand, a pickaxe to remove the bigger rocks in the dirt which stop you from shoveling, axe or a separate very sharp shovel for cutting roots in the way but ideally you wouldnt dig near obvious giant tree roots, buckets and ropes and ladders and hardhats and pulleys for removing all the rocks and dirt, if youre throwing rocks out of the hole, call out first, If youre lifting rocks out of the hole with a pully get out of the hole first. Reinforce the walls and roof of the tunnels with something, make the tunnels a oval or circle shape to help it not cave in. Its going to get really cold down there so get some wooden or plastic chairs / beds that are up off the ground or it will suck the heat out of your body and kill you, rain flooding and drainage and pests are other considerations to think about, tape up your boots around your ankles or youll get sand in them all day. I had a ton of fun digging a 5 foot wide 15 foot hole deep in my buddies backyard in south California summer time and I swear to god I got so cold down there. They say its a constant 54 degrees F I think? Men love digging for some reason I'd totally do it all over again just for fun.

Sticks replaced fists, spears replaced sticks, swords replaced spears, and guns replaced swords.
Modern drones have the potential to replace guns as the primary weapon employed in wars, but these weapons suffer from many issues. The most obvious of these issues is the time these things can remain airborne. Modern wars feature battles that remain continuous for weeks to months on end, but most military drones only can remain airborne for a few minutes. Stacking this issue on top of the vulnerability these weapons have to winds, storms, and explosives, and these weapons can quickly become entirely useless for long-term use.
Another major problem is range and size. Modern gun drones don’t have a lot of range if they’re not built big. However, that requirement of these weapons just leaves them increasingly exposed to getting shot down. It’s not just firepower either that makes these weapons vulnerable. Any positive changes in the flight duration, maximum altitude, speed, and the capabilities of any individual drone will see a subsequent increase in a drone’s size.
With enough investment, these weapons should be able to overcome most of these problems and be the thing that replaces the gun. However, these weapons currently are only useful for niche purposes in wars than a true successor to humanity’s primary weapon of choice.

us apparently plans to drop its large uavs in order to replace them with… something???

Drones may work as a mortar replacement, but how would you imagine exchanging guns for drones? That's like giving every infantryman a mortar instead of a rifle.
You're right that guns replaced swords, because they both serve as a personal defence weapon, but drones are artillery.

>>5479
Replace them with yet more retrofitted planes from like the 60s probably.

>anon drops insightful post
<OP drops one liner with completely wrong information
Why are all your threads like this? Artillery is still the king of the battlefield, only about 5% of the casualties are caused by small arms and another 5% by vehicles. Drones in comparison are a fart in the wind and FPV videos are only easy to find because of sadism.

Infantry and vehicles dont kill alot but they deny areas to the enemy and that in the longterm, think years, drones cant do any of that. Which means drones are a subset of marksmanship and are already falling into that niche. The fact that drone operators are tortured to death like snipers shows another line of parallels.

>>5481
For ISR probably satellites, drone swarms and space planes, the reaper has proven outdated with how easily it can be targeted and destroyed.

Setting aside his remarkable military career: is dale comstock a grifter\snake oil salesman?
>publishes photo from his mercenary work in Yemen on fucking public FB.
>Shills stem cell treatment, I think he sells a way to get it or something
>active, as an homeopathy "doctor"
>mail order\trophy, thai wife
>constantly remarks how strong he looks "at his age"- really seems insecure about being a boomer

sounds like the dayron arias of /k/ommando cultures
