    Sniping In The Ukraine

    From the article: It is unclear what the jackets are made of or if they differ from space blankets made of Mylar. 🤨 I mean full credit to the Ukrainians for battlefield improvisation and all that, but I would have thought checking it's not just spraypainted space blankets before writing a full...

    Fieldcraft Sniper war in Ukraine

    So even Aliexpress-tier jammers aren't available? Or have the Russians just worked out that always running their drones on 2.4ghz isn't a particularly good idea? So you are sniping from almost in the trenches? Not forward of the lines at all? Is it almost a WW1 style no-mans land?

    Fieldcraft Sniper war in Ukraine

    How do you deal with 360 degree threat of drones? I know you have a thermal blanket in front, but how do you deal with top cover and sides? So when you say it's not synthetic, what exactly is it? When you said thermal sheet I just assumed you were repurposing Mylar sheets or something....

    Fieldcraft Sniper war in Ukraine

    Why standing? Just vegetation height? I guess the PRS guys will feel vindicated that there tripod rear assembly is indeed practical for real world applications

    Fieldcraft Sniper war in Ukraine

    FWIW - some advice for you..... Assuming you are who you say you are, your best option is to just come here and post what you want to post. If you want to tell/show everyone your experiences just come and do that. If you want to post questions/get help with certain elements of what you do ('how...

    US halts exports of most civilian firearms for 90 days

    Yeah, I strongly doubt this is an effort to address that risk though. Particularly with the 'Ukraine' exemption (who are literally the biggest arms smuggling risk of all). I think it's more likely an attempt to screw the manufacturers in the wake of Maine. There may even be some backroom deal...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    As horrible as this is going to sound, if we go back to the days when the Allies actually won wars - raising cities to the ground because enemy combatants were hiding amongst the civilian population and refusing to come out would be considered acceptable. Just look up the firebombings of...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Make this make sense for me. Is this all a play by Iran to drive a wedge between the Saudis and the Israeli's? Surely HAMAS realize the Palestinians will be subjected to incredible suffering if the Israeli's get this back under control right?

    bad lot of steel and rumors

    Not a particularly useful contribution, but I'm kind of stunned that people have decided it's a good idea to cut your lands down to increase velocity. You are literally half shooting out your barrel before you fire it.... 🙄

    Ukrainian shit show part 2

    Don't get me wrong, US military is probably 10+ years in front of everyone else. Skunkworks engineers etc and amazing. Just look at White Bat etc. What I was trying to get at is that this can't be done in there 'cost+ on some secret military base' model. If non-DOD organisations are going to...

    Ukrainian shit show part 2

    I would actually argue that the learnings should be the other way round. All this stuff is being built with 'Aliexpress' tier shit. Look at the 'rockstar' of the war from the Russian's point of view (Lancet). All guided via consumer electronics..... So I would think the learning would have to...

    Data Harvesting - Thoughts/Experiences from People that Know More Than Me

    Data Harvesting - Thoughts/Experiences from People that Know More Than Me

    The frustrating part about this is that the weak point in the whole thing is the carrier themselves (who also sells your data). You can defeat the tracking by phone manufacturer (de-googling), you can defeat the SDK trackers (by not having them on your phone) but you can't do much about the cell...

    Data Harvesting - Thoughts/Experiences from People that Know More Than Me

    I will have a go for you, I'm a straight Software Engineer and not a security person so there are probably people here that can do better. It's obviously not possible to stop leaking all your data as everyone is outlining above, but you can reduce it (significantly). Most of the stuff I am going...

    Strelok Pro

    This is perhaps the biggest self own for the government with the sanctions so far. They sanction a small app which is mostly irrelevant to the war effort. People respond by continuing to download after installing Chinese spyware on their phones.....

    Fieldcraft Getting into drones

    I have had a DJI Mini 2 for a little while and it's pretty hard to crash. I would expect Autel's and other pro-sumer brands to be pretty much the same. I use mine mostly for mustering sheep and cattle in steeper country at low-ish heights( <3m, under tree height) and maneuverability is great...

    "Ukrainian sniper shoots Russian from '1.68 miles away' – the second-longest kill ever"

    You've come to the area of the forum which is literally dedicated to talking s*$t. There is always going to be nonsense. Tbh, you've probably actually done better in this thread than usual. At least there are a few guys explaining why the video cannot be real based on ballistics alone (unless...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Surely they couldn't be this stupid though could they? It basically clears hot a WMD-tier response.....not saying that Russia should/will, but why give them the excuse?

    Possible powder supply problems incoming?

    Fair point. Let me rephrase - 'Is powder supply going to get even worse?'

    Possible powder supply problems incoming?
