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.

/k/ is absolutely in shambles, if it actually turns out that pic 2/3 rel is the system that shot down the F-35 they will be absolutely wrecked.

>This little Truck could be the reason why the F-35 was hit. Small but smart, based upon a ir Seekers missile and instead of a radar, who would give the f35 a detection and evade the missile, it uses a Heat tracking / search camera. perfect for a silent search to hunt down 5th gen

<The Pantsir at home.
Of course besides this IR-Osa ripoff wagon, others are claiming its the Kaaim 2 (pic 5), some claim it’s a S300 PMU2 (Favorit), some claim a modified version of the Type 359, so we dont know really, I think an IR seeker is more likely.

>f-16 is ace combat. ps2 graphics but can still fly.


>f-35 is top gun 2. it seems flashy and hi tekk but really it's for boomers. basically an f-150 ford truck in plane form and half as aerodnamic as one. the cupholders cost as much as a hospital and are made of a classified material created by crystalizing pure corruption. piloted exactly like the car chairs in wall-e: an insulin resistant nugget sits in a seat and clicks on muslim girls while kahootz music is blasted into his ears. basically a modernised version of those ww2 missiles that navigated by pigeons pecking the target on a screen.

>>6162
> basically an f-150 ford truck in plane form
Nah, an F-150 is still useable. It's more like a Cybertruck; all angles and little actual use-capacity.



 

Turns out the F-15 is a dogshit fighter

The US has already lost three in a frendly fire insident, one from Iranian SAMs, and now rumers of a third F-15 downed over Iraq by an iranian fighter jet with BVM air to air missiles.

>The F-15 is one of the best fighter jets ever designed and definitely earned its place in history as such
In 19900 is was pretty good, but that was over 35 years ago. Today it is ancient, obsolete technology.

File: 1773011032175.png (266.89 KB, 640x480, ClipboardImage.png)

>>6137
The only obsolete issues would be electronics and stealth, but stealth isn't the game changer people think, a powerful RADAR and data-linking with other RADARs can fix that. Electronics are easily replaced and have been. The Airframe is still one of the best in the world. The only current fighter aircraft that are definitively superior is the F-22, Su-57, J-20 and Su-35. The Su-34 is a superior strike aircraft but it and the Russian and Chinese Su-30 variants are all on an equal level. The F-35's main gimmick is its stealth and electronic warfare/surveillance capabilities, but the latter can easily be replicated on an F-15 airframe as they did with the EA-18G Growler (SEAD Super-Hornets). The Rafale, Gripen and Eurofighter Typhoon are light fighters that only stand a chance in dogfighting. The main reason the Kuwaiti F-18 hit those 3 F-15s was the element of surprise and the lack of SEAD concentrated on spoofing its systems. The F-16 is definitively inferior to the F-15 in capability. The F-14 is inferior in WVR combat and out of service, the Iranian versions are very outdated and rundown. The JF-10 and JF-17 are good fighters but in the same boat as the F-16. Yet all these are currently fielded aircraft.

>>6136
Its a failure because it fails materially and economically to be good value for money. Now that anti-air and chinese military tech is on par with it for a fraction of the cost its basically a big flying money vault to be cracked open while the american empire gets bled dry by its hubris.

A knife brand you will see shilled nonstop on Reddit and other soy places is Spyderco. They are popular because of their unusual designs and consumerist Funko Pop like practice of releasing extremely limited designs to trick retards into thinking they are special and buying them. These knives are mostly made out of a cheap plastic material they trick you into thinking long is special by calling it “fiberglass reinforced nylon” when it is really just fucking plastic. They are very expensive but if you were to hand one to someone who isn’t into knives they would probably think it costs $20 from Walmart not $200. “But plastic is light” so is titanium and aluminum which both feel much better and nicer but go ahead and keep justifying paying exorbitant prices for inferior materials. These knives also come in a shitty box with nothing else. When you buy a Protech knife they are made of aluminum and the quality control is impeccable. They are masterfully machined and you can feel the quality. They come in a special box that folds open and a fabric pouch. When you buy a Spyderco with the Golden Colorado stamp you can notice many flaws like the blade not being centered ect and it just comes in a cheap no frills box. I actually live near the Golden factory and every time I’ve gone their they have barely any knives for sale. The employees are rude and mostly fat women who don’t seem to even know very much. I’m guessing these are the same people making them so that explains why they are so poor quality. So yeah I would recommend buying Protech or WE knives instead. WE knives have amazing quality control and are made in China. Protech are made in California. Both these brands are better than Spyderco and cost roughly the same amount and aren’t used by faggot Redditors.

> there might be something to produce a cheap/disposable nylon knife that can get past metal detection

so you need a deadly weapon to "defend yourself" in a room where everyone has to go through a metal detector…

>>5932
LOL reminds me of a discussion about a knife that delivers ice-cold gas (actually existing product), advertised for defense against sharks.
A: "I need this!!"
B: "You are a diver?"
A: "…"
B: "You want to become a diver?"
A: "…"
B: "You need this for what?"
A: "To defend against big animals."
B: "Big animals like what?"
A: "Like bears!"
B: "There are bears where you live?"
A: "I don't know."

Would ww3 actually be the end of the world, or would it be another regular war? Obviously the scale of a war between nato and russia, china, whoever would be significantly larger than america and iraq (for example) but would any country actually be stupid enough to use nuclear weapons?

Using nukes sort of defeats the point of going to war doesn’t it? If you turn a country into a radioactive wasteland:

A) they’ll just do it to you as well, and
B) even if they don’t retaliate, there will be nothing left to conquer, so you gain nothing

Modern governments view nuclear exchanges as survivable for the state but not the people.

The datacenters, ports, and supply chains are targets. Starvation kills the ones not killed by direct strike.

After the nuclear exchange, in person invasion with military forces occurs. Nuclear stock piles get built up. This cycle repeats every 100 to 1000 years. Nuclear war is cyclical, we just have not lived through the first cycle and have not seen it happen.

Radiation is reduced in favor of physical damage. Ground burst soot is reduced in favor of air burst damage.

am I spiritually sick for feeling "less than" JSOC\Special ops\ex-SO PMCs and such elite soldiers?
Maybe it's a (((cope))) but I'm learning to have hyper-realistic lucid dreams so I can have tier-1 missions there with full realism.
I know war is evil, maybe it's even fake\a CGI+ crisis actor huge hoax but…I do really feel spiritually cucked and lucid dreaming seems the only realistic solution for me out of this

Stay in your lane, the division of labour in capitalism means that someone has to specialise in some way.

>>6118

also i think spec ops are more likely to get fragged as they're dumb enough to go back for another tour meaning they're either war tourists who know they'll be jerking off in a tunnel and driving FPV drones or dumb cannonfodder just wanting to either have their relatives to cash what little insurance they leave behind / disposable retards with nobody to cash their insurance

For those who aren't lawyers, injury is generally illegal. Because of this, obstruction or neutralization of class enemies and class traitors is often restricted to adventurism or fantasy, maybe even intimidation if you and others are organized well enough (congratulations!)

Let us explore a potent but seemingly unexplored (or at least underground) counter-strategy. A safe, simple, long-term strategy of stochastic opportunistic biowarfare.
This is not biowarfare in the conventional sense of directly poisoning enemies, so if you want to culture your own mold and plant it in a chud's HVAC then this isn't for you.
Instead, we intent so seize an opportunity to accelerate the self-poisoning of (overwhelmingly) reactionaries. I want you to envision a land of raw meat and dairy, tallow and ghee, supplement cocktails and Ivermectin doping. Oh, that's the world the reactionary grifters are already implementing… if these obviously dangerous diets and medication are so normal among the anti-communists, perhaps we can kick this up a notch. It's easy to poison someone with seemingly-innocuous things: beef liver, brazil nuts, water intoxication. It's very easy to demonize treatments like vaccines and healthier alternatives to traditional habits. It's simple to trick reactionaries into rejecting things seen as progressive, like soy, veganism and seed oils, and jumping up to mirror it with ridiculous excessive meat over-consumption. Simply tell them that warnings and regulations are liberal disinformation and a significant amount of these idiots will want to believe it.

The best part is, you can make money from slowly poisoning reactionaries. Millions of well-funded capitalists are investing millions and billions into selling unhealthy products, they want as many sold as possible. Look at how the dairy industry in the USA has managed to normalize cow's milk as an essential nutritional component. Look at how propagandist streamers and podcasters are throwing supplement pill ads at their audience. These capitalist companies don't care about long-term effects, they're fatally bound to the short-term lines and how far they go up. And for those in the USA, bourgeois deregulation will make more and more of these tactics completely legal.
We can help dismantle the right and make them pay for it. What's not to love?

i carry an echelon 4.0c and it's pretty nice

Depends on what I'm wearing.

Generally if I'm just around the house or running to town quickly, I carry a Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 in my pocket.

If I'm in winter clothes, usually it's a Ruger RXM with the full size frame.

Summer carry (I usually wear Hawaiian shirts and shorts) I carry my SA-35 or M9 Centurion in an owb concealment holster.

You really just need to get out, go to a range that has rentals and shoot some. See what you like and purchase from there.

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.

Risk: Flood the tunnel
Countermeasure: Insert floor gaps for water to exit. Don't make it water tight.

Risk: Ground Penetrators.
Countermeasure: Windy tunnels, blast doors. Valves.

Risk: Concrete that is harder than ground but softer than concrete.
Countermeasure: Just keep digging.

Risk: Synthetic Aperture Radar and Wide Area Motion Imagery notice your release of mined material.
Countermeasure: Do it in bad weather in deniable ways. Grind everything up first.

Risk: Soil Testing validates that mined material has been released here.
Countermeasure: Mix it up. Scatter lightly?

Clarification: I posted an OSM Image at random. The goal is to say, you won't be digging in rural nowhereville. You will be digging in big city where 80% of the surface is building or road.

>>6102
Is there any way we could use GPR to our advantage? Tunnels already exist under cities, from sewers to weirder stuff. We need to either avoid them or use them as existing infrastructure to expand on. Also there's really no way to defeat GPR, it can now penetrate up to 100ft, which is first of all way too deep (every entrance from a building would require an elevator or very long sloped descent), and they would be able to see the entrance points anyways, just not a whole map of the tunnel system.

Also how would we get rid of mined material? The best civilian vehicle for the job is a pickup but they don't hold very much, progress would be super slow that way. Anything larger, or constant revolving pickups, would draw attention.

I think the only answer to all of these is that tunnels are only viable in communities that can resist surveillance, or which are already functionally independent, making surveillance useless in the short term. Even if they can map the tunnels, tunnels help mask movement, hide from bombs, and could house facilities for weapons production

Hello, I am mister CIA Glowmongerer, how traceable (easy to find) are drone kaboom attacks? Are they 100% anonymous kabooms if you handle the drone with gloves to not leave fingerprints? If you buy a generic drone w camera remote antenna thing and somehow manage to put kabooms with remote trigger on it, how could they possible figure out it was you if you're not in America and CIA aren't satellite tracking your microwave brainwaves?
Like if you live in turd world shithole where police are not CIA level skillz and get drone and kabooms from flea market?

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.

Forensics:
The Camera is a HD 720P Bob Bill Copywrited 2023.
The frame is made of this type of composite.
The filament is eSun PLA+ Grey 2.
Of the town of 100K, who bought that type of camera and that type of Filament? Only 2 people. Bring both in and wait until 1 confesses.

Considerations:
The future is urban. Drones require on board intelligence to do well in urban indoor spaces. Anyone you are targeting will run indoors and underground.

Onboard compute requires very unique chips and knowledge. Vibe coding this system won't be possible without uncensored 250B Q8 models that require thousands of dollars of NPU/GPU systems.

Governments have radio sensor arrays that detect signals across the RF band. They can observe stuff.

Airport Radars can see drones. The airport radar that sees a Cesna at cruising altitude at the horizon can see your 1M VTOL Drone at 5 to 10 KM.
