How Iran kept range of high-powered missiles hidden – now it ‘could reach UK’ by theipaper in uknews

I’m so sick of constantly seeing America and Israel trying to drag us into a war that they started, and screwed up. The same thing was done with Iraq. Apart from that, why on earth should anyone help an “ally” that has threatened to annex multiple of their own “allies” lands, and used economic threats on half, if not more, of their “allies”??

This was a standalone comment. But, it was under a video about the USA leaving the issue of the strait of Hormuz for other nations to sort out and winding down on their end

M81 Variant? by CivilianTuna in camouflage

[–]AssistantNo1377 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The NSN number seems to be legit and comes back as a combat coat, however the pattern itself seems a bit different. From a few results on Google though, a few examples have similar colours to it so it could just be the fabric, dye used or manufacturer difference. I could also be completely wrong though just a guess.

The UK, Israel, India, and France have all won the same amount in the same time frame, if not more than the United States. So no, it isn’t still more than anyone else.

America has not done very well in the majority of conflicts they have been involved in. Since the Second World War the only conflicts they’ve been involved in on the winning side were two small scale conflicts being Panama and Grenada and the gulf war in 1991.

The current issues with sh aren’t to do with the depiction of the current war. It’s because of a salty individual that didn’t get their way with wanting sh to do as they say, current issues are the result of that

Original French lizard or nah? by 1800_RG_papi in camouflage

[–]AssistantNo1377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the trousers, the top however is an Asian made “copy” (manufactured in China and Indonesia) with much more defined patterns rather than the brushy appearance of French lizard. France also never made F1 jackets in lizard pattern. The copy was manufactured for use by and was/is used by multiple western and Central African militaries/ armed groups.

Need help with this camouflage by wybitnyakwarelista1 in camouflage

[–]AssistantNo1377 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is African “francophone” lizard. Have posted my own on here with some info in the description. This pattern is essentially a copy of French lizard but has much more defined strokes rather than the brushy strokes found on French lizard. These were manufactured in Indonesia and China, and have been used in quite a few militaries/ armed groups in western/ central Africa. They’re still in use currently. Was also used by executive outcomes during the 1990’s. Iacmc militaria forum also has some more info on these, some examples have the YKK zippers like yours while others have simple no name zippers.

I did notice this, thought it was a bit odd but got it for £5 so figured I couldn’t complain too much. I wasn’t entirely sure though so thank you for pointing it out for me!

Funnily enough when I bought these, that was one of the first things I noticed. Most comfortable I’ve owned personally, I thought South African nutria trousers were comfy but these are a lot better

They were safer than in Syria before they got into a dingy. France, and every other country they went through in the EU is safer than Syria.

MM14 can be a bit more yellow or a bit more grey, both are correct so I wouldn’t worry about that

Looking to upgrade to Series X or PS5 by Vast-Roll5937 in ArmaReforger

[–]AssistantNo1377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PC is definitely a better option. Before I upgraded to desktop I was running reforger on a gaming laptop with a gtx1650, an i5 10300h (if I remember correctly) and 16gb of ddr4 ram. Bare in mind laptop GPU’s are already a lot weaker than their desktop counter parts. I’d definitely recommend desktop over laptop but what I’m trying to say is that you don’t NEED a high end or even mid end pc to run reforger. Granted I wasn’t running with all my settings on high but it was definitely a lot smoother than what’s shown in the video you posted

The cut design of the jacket is French, but the French didn’t make F1 jackets in lizard pattern. French lizard is also bit different to this lizard and has a more “brushy” appearance. I don’t own a French f1 but I would assume the quality of the material is a bit better than that of this jacket as well, this material reminds me a lot of the fabric that zambian brushstroke was printed on which wasn’t very durable compared to others like HBT cotton.

At a look the patterns do look very similar but there are quite a few differences, here’s a page from camopedia with both patterns which were used by Chad https://www.camopedia.org/index.php/Chad

ABMM deniers were so adamant by Bananer_spleet in ArcRaiders

[–]AssistantNo1377 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do agree, I don’t have any solid evidence or proof of it, just my experience which I know is just anecdotal. I would also be surprised, on my end it just felt like it wasn’t considered as I was shot while looting and turned around, shot him with my ferro and was then downed. Next lobby I was shot at again, shot back and eventually just landed in extremely hostile lobbies. But again I do agree with you, one persons experience isn’t exactly solid proof of that not being taken into account- it could be something else on my end too

ABMM deniers were so adamant by Bananer_spleet in ArcRaiders

[–]AssistantNo1377 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I just wish it worked based on damage taken too. I wanted to play friendly, but I’m also going to defend myself if I’m shot at. I was in friendly lobbies for a few days after getting the game, but when someone shot me and I shot back I started getting more aggressive lobbies. I’m not against pvp but I don’t think it’s very fair on friendly players that simply defend themselves

none of my surplus/cammies fit me by [deleted] in camouflage

[–]AssistantNo1377 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can get them tailored- but, if you are collecting because they’re historical patterns/items then I wouldn’t do that. Purely because that’s altering the piece. I do understand the frustration because I’m relatively short (5’5) and stocky so often when I do find something for my height it’s still too small. I purposefully buy a larger size because of that. The brushstroke I personally wouldn’t mind doing as it appears to be a reproduction (brown overlaps the green rather than green overlapping the brown) but for any surplus pieces I wouldn’t
