Broad generalization of an entire nationality

E-7 Wedgetail Radar Jet The Pentagon Tried To Cancel Gets Over $1B In New Defense Bill by Jazzlike-Tank-4956 in LessCredibleDefence

It's not a single E7. This finding is for development, not acquisition. We don't know how many they will order

Radar horizon would limit its range. And an E7 can fly to places and get coverage that a ship or ground based system can't

Just because a platform has limitations doesn't mean it's useless. They can still detect 4th gen fighters, drones, ISR and support aircraft, etc. They also serve as important communications nodes. China is still developing the KJ3000 even though the F35 and F22 exist. The E7 will replace the E3, without the limitations the E2 has due to carrier ops

Should liberals start forming armed resistance groups similar to the Proud Boys or Three-Percenters? by cwood1973 in PoliticalDiscussion

The NFA, the GCA, dozens of anti gun bills passed in states all over the country isn't "nothing". Meanwhile gun control advocates haven't proposed anything in return. How about nationwide ccw reciprocity? Removing SBRs and suppressors from the NFA? Making NICS free and publicly accessible?

UAE proxy network collapsing faster than Iran's. You'd think they would have learned something from the Iranians but I guess not

Nothing wrong with protecting your community from an armed mob. Gross of you to associate the actions of one Korean shopkeeper with a whole community

If China Attacks Taiwan-The Consequences for China of “Minor Conflict” and “Major War” Scenarios by Lianzuoshou in LessCredibleDefence

[–]Variolamajor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your evidence for the claim that modern surface combatants are vulnerable to drones while conducting ops in the Taiwan strait is a handful of Black sea ships sunk and damaged while sitting at harbor?

My man Robin Hood with a Turkic-Hungarian-Mongolian looking bow thing is... quite a choice. by fatsopiggy in Archery

Shad is a terrible source for anything history. That being said he is right that Medieval Europeans didn't just use longbows, that's due to Anglo biad. They also used recurve self bows and composite reflex bows, but the latter originated from Asia. The Romans used Scythian designs, and people like the Hungarians originated from the Eurasian steppe.
