Lately all I seem to have been catching are ISIS fucks head chopping/shotting people or throwing gay dudes off of buildings. I know SOF and so on are actually dusting these motherfuckers frequently, but that was actually fun to watch. :banjo:

Did you see the (I forget, was it Iran or more Peshmerga?) ambushing ISIS twats in the canyon with a ton of tracer fire and a casual RPG blast? It's short'n'sweet but would definitely fall under the same umbrella of "a fun watch".


It was such a chill "weeeeelp, gonna load me ol' RPG... alright now we're gonna aim aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand [FWAAAAWOOOOOOOM-BOOM]"

The D-30 is towed tube first. That's the towing hitch. M 777 is the same way.

Towing guns by the barrel makes gun laying easier because you can use the gun tractor's compass to ensure that the gun is roughly on the intended bearing as soon is it is emplaced.

Most cadets can't do this on a land nav course. Would you trust them to do the same simple math later as officers working indirect fires?

It seems like a simple enough idea.

Again, just like the 777, the D-30 is on a platform that can rotate 6400 mils.





You can see the similarities to the M777.

D30s use 6000 mil circles because Russia.

Guess how often we let the afghan Army fire in support of us?

Actually it was fun to watch because D30s have a direct fire mode due to their design as a combined howitzer and cold war era anti tank weapon. So we didn't bother teaching math to illiterate afghans when direct was an option and the base had clear views into most subvalleys.

Israel needs to man the gently caress up and stop running to mum every time someone calls them on talking poo poo. They are the international equivalent of the short man bully. Talk big poo poo up, throw a punch or two, then when the big boys come to beat them they go and cry to mum and then hide behind dad.

You are completely right with that whole thing. Not arguing that.

Why though, is there a problem with present day Iran using nuclear power to provide electricity in a non weaponisable format, when the US was providing Iran with tech that could be easily weaponised back in the day, What changed?

I'm not trolling, I really don't understand what the issue is.

Because they don't have a program setup that is solely targeting this use. Thats why one of the proposals a few years back was shut down the enrichment program, and we'll fly you the fuel you need. I can certainly understand why they didn't go for it, don't get me wrong.

Didn't the Gingrich Congress sit on the fuel for inspections deal for so long that the North Koreans said gently caress it?

It's just a loving shame that it is immediately connected with building the bomb.

I can't help but think that if the mud hut peoples could wean themselves off selling oil by using nuclear power it would undermine a huge rhetoric we use in the first world, and that is the real reason we crap on about them using it.

Not the whole beardie people with the bomb thing.
