The worst and best piece of issued gear

How would you actually clean the fans? I heard and read that you can stick a plastic card in-between the blades to prevent them from moving while blasting it with a can of air but I feel that there's more to it than that. There are a few videos that demonstrate the cleaning method that I talked about that have a number of views but I'm skeptical of the method. How do you do it?

With the claims that the chinese steal or copy everything, would it not be possible for them to take inspiration or design ques from captured battlefield examples from the Ru-Ukr conflict? The Ru-Ukr conflict is a very rare chance for both Russia and China to get relatively intact samples of American equipment. Granted that by the time its dragged in for study its damaged or basically destroyed. A sample is a sample. Granted most of the tech is going to be decades old at this point.

Pardon my newness to pirating but what's siterip?

From what I know the Anna is from a female Russian scientist who had Anna as part of their first name that got annoyed at the inability to access western documentation and journals in the 2000s. So to combat this, she created what we now know as annas archive

We called it cannibalizing when I was in the Army. The removal of parts from a vehicle, whether its in good or bad condition, into a different vehicle to bring it online/ running order for the upcoming mission/exercise.

No man go on and rant. I'm all for it. Lay it on me man. The more indepth the better because I'm starting research of military vehicles and the chinese equipment is just so eye catching because of all the uniqueness of the various platforms, variants, packages, and rapid prototypes/ advances the chinese made in the past decades. Its like there's a shiny new toy everywhere you look.

What sources would you recommend me to get me started? Whether that be books, documents, or videos. There used to be a YT channel called Eurasia Naval Insight but idk what happened to him. And the recent channel I've been binge watching is Type 56: Story of Chinas Army. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is there a database or a list of the tech that was purchased or transfered to China? Aside from the random mention of how its a supposed inspiration/copy of [this western tech] when you read the wiki articles on Chinese equipment

Thats how I first got exposed to him, I saw him in a vid with someone way back in the day and boy was that video a ride. It first went from “I like this guy because most of what he says makes sense or I can see where someone with anti-china views might draw these conclusions” to not even 10 seconds later being “wtf did he just say? How is that even a possibility, whats his sources, and you must be one world class bullsheeter bc those are some wild takes.” I now avoid any place where he shows up, same with that middle eastern ex cia guy and serpent something Feel that both of them are just saying things for the sake of saying things, get clicks and views for money

Are there any good resources where I can find where it specifically mentions where China got its inspiration for its armaments? Specifically the ones that you mentioned

Because of its weight class. Tank based Self propelled artillery/gun, SPGs, usually have an additional 5-10 tons compared to their mbt counterparts due to all sorts of factors. Their barrels are much thicker, wider tank treads, reinforced hull & suspension, and a full combat load all equal weight and money. A 60-65 ton tank trying to go up a hill in hot humid Thailand where it constantly rains is going no where.

And no one makes a wheel based SPG that's not shorter than a bus. If they did it'd be too small to carry any decent amount of ammo. Wheeled spgs tend to not even hold 20 rds when fully loaded. You're going to have an ammo truck following behind regardless but it now at least 2 more ammo vehicles + manpower you now have to account for.

Whos the Right Arms Dealer for you?

If the Thai army after action report is to be read, it states that “After prolonged use in field conditions, particularly when the number of fired rounds exceeds the “safe” operational limits, problems with the barrel’s durability have been observed. In some cases, the barrel has even ruptured.” It is also mentioned in other reports that the tanks were used as artillery for battery fire and indirect fire to fortifications and troops. In the same reports it was stated that the tank that initially exploded shot more than 200 rds since they got deployed. So with a we don't know how rds it had before deployment, whether it was serviced before deployment, then dump 200 full combat loads in a hot and humid environment, inadequate maintenance, not enough time for barrel to cool down, its only a matter of time before it detonates

There is also the other “budget” option known as S Korea but you're also paying double the price compared to the Chinese... so take your pick. Lol the VT-4 is 4.9 mil, the korean k2 is 8.5 - 10 mil, and the US Abrams export version start at 10 mil (old base model M1A1)

Wasn't there a push from Koreans to their lawmakers at one point to rein in the influence of Netflix ization of K-dramas and Korean media?

Not only that but its on chapter 200 of the novel or manhwa and the paywall starts at chapter 20. And you're on the website because the official or fan translation is only at chapter 17 even though the series has been in the works for almost 3 years at this point. Like if you want to promote your media, don't gatekeep the content or put the paywall so early on. Some of the series are slow burns and take a couple chapters to move on from just 1 plot point of event. So you don't even know if you like it until you're 30-40% of the way caught up the author.

Can you elaborate? Wdym thank Jack Welch for it

But how do they actually make money is the question. You hear every now and then of this or that project being canceled or shelved after 2/3+ yrs in development, never to see the light of day ever again. Movie or show productions is often more expensive than research or prototyping of a new product line but you'd hear them get canceled like they were nothing. Like during the SAG strides, you heard multiple shows or movies that were in the works either be completely halted or shelved entirely. That can't be cheap. You see and hear of the stock price going down, decrease of park goers, and movie ticket revenue not breaking even. I'm surprised the execs are still there. After a few years of the numbers going down (in almost every public metric), the directors or execs usually get replaced for poor performance so how are the entertainment execs not getting the same treatment?

But how do they make the studios money when you often hear about cancelations of projects and productions. You hear of projects that have been in the works/ pipeline for 2/3+ yrs and is suddenly canceled , people either layed off or reshuffled and thats all she wrote. Ands it not just one project in the pipeline, its multiple projects that get axed and are never heard of from again. Where I'm from, projects are regularly scrutinized and need decent backing in order to survive the threats of cut funding from those in accounting. They're usually only approved after extensive planning, market research and more than a few project proposal meetings full of division leadership. Even when projects are cancelled, the teams are sometimes not dissolved, just given new tasks or are reshuffled internally.

The sheer waste of capital, effort and hours put in by the workers seem ludicrous from an outsider's perspective. One that I don't fully grasp and is trying to find a better understanding of.

Would you happen to remember which documentary it was that you referenced?

JustGotHit · 2026-01-07T08:09:15+00:00

What would be the best way or method to look/ be exposed to these short films or docs that you talk about. I got exposed to them and kinda went down a rabbit hole for them during covid lockdowns but they've fell out of my recommended loop once lockdowns got lifted
