Have the Houthis already learned why the US doesn't have free healthcare?

Air assaults by NATO Forces in the Russian Arctic without clear supply lines don't seem like they would go very well to be honest.

Odysseus craft’s moon mission to be cut short after sideways landing Intuitive Machines, private company behind lander, says mission will end after five days rather than the expected to seven to 10 quote:An Intuitive Machines official said the loss of the range finders stemmed from the company’s decision to forego a pre-launch test-firing of the laser system to save time and money during pre-flight checks of Odysseus at Nasa’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. love the groundbreaking innovation and agility from privatising the space program

it's worse in every way than the things we did in the 60s, but this time it also cost orders of magnitude more hey wait

I think their marketing channel was closed after an unspecified event a couple years back but Kalashnikov the company used to have a YouTube video up showing how their products fare versus Western competitors in freezing conditions. Found a reupload on some 3rd party channel to save anyone a search. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVOD1sPFIhQ (it's just a guy in the Russian winter on a range at night) To save anyone a watch: Weapons designed for deserts and jungles don't work as well in the cold. You don't need to be a genius to figure that out but if you wanted to see it in action now you can. So anyway what light arms are our infantry using again?

sounds like there's an opportunity for The Market to address the issue by making the Cold Operations Carbine Kit for M4s at 5,000 USD a pop. the mic will see its utility in arctic theaters and eagerly swallow it up

Yeah, other channels have backed it up, that ARs just generally don't do that well in the cold generally, especially if is extreme cold.

The US military still uses M14s for extreme cold but I could easily them them “modernizing” again for a low low cost of 10k per unit or something

You need to come up with a whole new rifle specifically for arctic conditions, which of course uses an entirely new calibre of ammunition which you market as being the optimal choice for those conditions. Then you need to make half the parts out of an alloy that goes brittle past about -10C so you can sell a ton of spare parts.

You need a proprietary optic mounting system “optimized for the conditions” as well that only fits your company’s optics. The first generation will fog up to the point of uselessness in those actual conditions because hey only the mounting system is designed to withstand cold, you didn’t say anything about the optic. But we can fix that if you give us the contract.

If you don't strip out the old lubricant first, it freezes at extreme low temps, which is bad for the gun's operation. And in general in extreme cold, it's more important than ever for individual troops to keep their weapons dry and not to use personally procured commercial lubes or oils on their weapon. When people use regular lube because it works fine in like 20F (-7C) or something, they're really setting themselves up for failure when they encounter arctic temps like -20 or -40F. mlmp08 has issued a correction as of 15:47 on Feb 27, 2024 |

Every single year people get hurt in snowmobile training, including a bunch of the Americans that come up to do their winter warfare stuff here. Stick to skis and snowshoes. Also, you have to use graphite lube on everything, not just firearms. A lot of people get stuck zippers, which is just embarrassing, or can't open their vehicle doors etc. DJJIB-DJDCT has issued a correction as of 16:33 on Feb 27, 2024 |
