Computer Serf posted:why don’t troops get snow boots but for landmine protection? seems pretty cheap probably because a boot that actually protects you from a mine would either be prohibitively heavy or a real hassle to move around in? special boots for eod use do exist, but they're not something you could use in actual combat, and also i suspect that they're the opposite of cheap Delta-Wye posted:idgi, what do the jello cans do?? to hazard a guess the jello would act as a spring of sorts and absorb part of the blast wave and potential bits of shrapnel. it would still almost certainly gently caress up your leg, but maybe not beyond saving Cerebral Bore has issued a correction as of 04:04 on Jun 29, 2023 |

Honestly it's the right move. It's incredibly unlikely, but you might as well start legalizing your colonial administration right now. Sure as gently caress muricans aren't going to be learning Ukrainian.

USA: our possession of Ukraine requires you all speak English. Poland, whispering to Galicia: don't worry about USA we'll get together later and do our own thing.

Good news for Ukraine - the US is increasing Stinger missile production https://twitter.com/DefenseOne/status/1674209819815755777?t=sFq-JQ1L3Z6xJJ0MICBSww&s=19

gradenko_2000 posted:Raytheon has called in retired engineers to teach its employees how to build the Stinger missiles heavily used by Ukraine’s military—using blueprints drawn up during the Carter administration. When I first played MechWarrior and read about Lostech I thought it was the dumbest bullshit ever. Why would old stuff be better than new stuff and how could you forgot how to make good stuff?

Each stinger comes packed in a handcrafted rosewood box scented with lavender, wax sealed. The product of over 6000 man hours.

The problem with fire & emergency training by powerpoint is that unless its nothing more than basic fire warden evacuation stuff its completely useless IMO. You really need to get personnel onto a fireground and have them put out actual drill fires in a high stress environment. Nothing can prepare you for that experience and you need to know if you're capable of dealing with it before its your own life on the line.

I would simply order a rolling barrage on the fire's coordinates and snuff it out with a combination of overpressure, dust and dispersing the fuel material over a wide area

Or in other words, you need to be wearing the poo poo, doing the poo poo, and not just reading the poo poo. Checks out. Side note if anyone tells you they're a cop at a firing range, pack up and leave immediately

how do fire departments work, anyway? sometimes it sounds like a professional job that people are paid to do, but other times you hear about a "volunteer fire department" and it's like, I guess they have day jobs, then?
