Can Iranian air force compete with IAF in a confrontation?

the better question would be if Iranian air defense can seriously threaten IAF incursions

The question people should be asking is does Iran already have a nuclear weapon. Because they're sure acting like they do.

I had to wear this pattern for 8 years.
I thought it was stupid at the time, but looking back, it wasn't like we were hiding most if the time.
The enemy knew where we were and thanks to Raven and Shadow drones, we knew where (most) of them were.
We might as well have been wearing blue 19th century uniforms.
Most of the time I felt like a Star Wars. stormtrooper.
It does decently in winter environments, especially in pine forests.
Sage brush is where it excels so far that I thought it might have been tested in Yakima.
It's reasonable in a western urban environment but not perfect.
All and all, strangely aesthetic but absolutely garbage.

Wood vs Synthetic shotgun furniture?

>>61647563
Wood for style / display.

Synthetic for anything else, I love my wood furniture for my 870 but I have it taken off so it can be preserved, and because I live far up north so I don't want it getting wrecked by the extreme freezing temperatures we get up here.
So I just run polymer on it most of the time, I'm cringe though and run magpul furniture for my stock, fore-end and sling.
>>
Wood is nice in terms of feel and color, but that shit cracks and wobbles. Synthetics, when decently made are the best for actual use. When I'm shooting trap and skeet, maybe going for a short rabbit walk, I'll bring the wood. But hunting and duty work its synthetic.

How much uniforms did the military produce per year? By uniforms, i mean combat fatigues. From my understanding, they spent billions, but the amount of uniforms is pretty vague. However, there is always some kind of surplus that resulted in them getting stored or whatever.

>Congress tried to pass a bill that makes it illegal for non vets to wear uniforms


I don't really think it's that big of a deal as long they would have allowed exceptions for collectors, reenactors, filmmaking, Halloween costumes and people who wear unmarked surplus cammies. You gotta think no other profession was impersonated to the same degree as service members were during the GWOT, so it makes that a law was made because it did become a legit problem.

If you're not doing one of the aforementioned activities, there is no legitimate reason to wear a uniform with name, rank, medals, and unit patches. Again the problem wasn't people in old BDUs going hunting. It was people buying Marine Dress Blues and pretending to be Sgt Major of Marine Corps at Waffle House for 5% off their meal. I honestly don't think things would be that different if the law were passed assuming Congress didn't fuck it up.
>>
>>61656056
What if they don't have the resources to even get the patches/names off, retard? Are you going to arrest some poverish guy because he was wearing some BDUs/ACUs he got from good will that still has the patches and names? Overall, what Congress tried to do was stupid and violated the first amendment because you may never know if they are committing stolen valor unless they actually try to defraud the VA and gain some fame. Some people like to Larp and some people don't really have the resources to take off everything. Even the stolen valor law that Congress revised got taken down by the supreme court in 2012, because it doesn't do anything aside from harming people who does not even try to get benefits from the VA.

Military often make the standard for the uniform then farm them out to textile and clothing manufacturers. During the M81 Woodland BDU days, they used Gentec, which was prison labor. So lots of these makers will often sell uniforms or the government will overstock purchase their orders since it is quite literally a wear item.

To add, the bit that ended up against the rules were the locking gauntlets (which would be locked closed and thus make it near impossible for the king to drop his weapon). The rules change/clarification/ruling came in when the harness was "functionally" done, but before it had been decorated, thus the (relatively speaking) severely plain appearance. The other 1520 armour was the one made as its replacement.

Alas, at that point in his life it appears he was in decidedly poor health. Severely overweight, likely suffering from gout, with a festering leg wound that refused to heal since '36, and if the pus-filled boils hadn't quite shown up yet they soon would. He didn't live to see February of '47.

You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.

Nuclear weapons are an example of what is sometimes referred to as a "Schelling fence"; the short version is that there are certain "natural" boundaries that make precommitments between opposing sides easier to coordinate.

Think of it like this: you and another rancher are trying to divide a large section of land between the two of you, but it's very hard to figure out where the halfway point is. However, there's a convenient stream that bisects it (more or less), so you make that the barrier because it is a clear-cut, easy line. And the result is, it's easy for BOTH sides to defend. If either rancher encroaches beyond it, it's very obvious, and so both sides are incentivized to stick to it, because if you instead have to choose a less clear, more arbitrary boundary, it will be much harder to say when the line has been crossed.

"Don't ever use a nuclear weapon" is a useful Schelling fence, because if you say "only use a nuke against military targets", for example, then it very quickly becomes a slippery slope of debating what is and isn't a military target, and that increases the risk that nuke use escalates to global thermonuclear war. The safest thing for everyone is if no one uses nukes for ANYTHING, lest they get normalized over time and eventually nuking each others cities enters the Overton Window.

Not true. A slow icbm can be shot down. A nuke dropped on top of your head by a stealth bomber cannot.
Usa clearly has massive advantages in choice how to deliver.

What the fuck is the point of s400? Is it capable of anything at all. I constantly see spam about how great Russian air defence is, but I have seen no evidence whatsoever to support this. Are Russian missiles even capable of any kind of tracking anything, or is it a complete fabrication? Why would nations like Turkey buy this shit? Did they do no testing and take the Russians completely at their word?

This appears to be an s-300 missile (Ukranian) hitting a russian ka-52 helicopter from Dec 2022.

I just wanted to post it because it's both spectacular and (if it is an s-300) a perfect example of how these systems can be effective and devastating to aircraft. If it's not an s-300 than please hold me in the contempt I deserve. Still amazing footage tho'.
