The Syrian war did wonders for Russian combat experience and equipment testing.
Those systems got good rep.
Especially now that Iran won their proxy war and is winning another.

Maybe they were just tired of fals and m16's from a billion years ago that kept breaking down.

This is actually weird. I hope russia knows that some day those AK103 magically will appear in hands of ISIS.

or maybe that's a bait to test if saudi's supply isis weapons

Of course Russia knows. That's why I am thinking there is something interesting behind the scenes. Something we don't expect.

Hoping for booby trapped AKs

yfw ISIS gets a system reboot of the S-400 AA when they try to use it because the guidance control system couldn't go online, so they retry by plugging it in an old modem, and 4 minutes later their launch site recieve an S-400 Triumf 48N6 delivered at Mach 5.9 to assist with the maintenance

That's a meme I would pay for.

...

Production rights meaning the Saudis can build their own. They're not going to booby trap their own guns

lmao

You can't pay gulf Arabs enough to schlep to an arms factory 10 hours a day to build Russian weapons. Not gonna happen. People in KSA do not work real jobs all of their slave labor is imported from the Phillipines, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Maybe russia and us are about to proxy the fuck out of saudi civil war, especially after the trump weapons deal

Why the fuck.

Supposedly it has been working well in Syria. Plus Iran (and friends) have been getting good results with it in the the region.

You're overthinking this. Russia has economical problems, so whoever wants to buy their stuff is welcome, even if they're historically not friends with Russia like Turkey or Saudi Arabia.

Is it wishful thinking that Trump might just invade them over the vegas shit? And then maybe kikrael afterwards..alas.

Saudi Arabian defence is shit and cannot do the jobs properly. Guns will be sell to the ISIS or others for profits.

but m-muh based russia

>attack them instead

They would hit major European and American cities as well, at least according to plan.

That would probably work if the Saudi ruling class weren't Donmeh kikes themselves (as one Saudi royal put it, "cousins of the Jews").

Why is everyone so afraid of s400 system? Explain to non /k/ fag please

But the Saudis can't even maintain these weapons let alone build them.
Why would they do this?

It's one of the best air defence systems in existence and is believed to be able to work seamlessly with Russian/Chinese made radar setups that can bypass US stealth technology.

In effect anyone with these can reliably protect themselves from US aircraft.

Was meant for

They are kikes. It in their nature to play both sides against the middle.

More than likely this is like the Turkey deal where they sell blueprints for export models that are different from Russian equipment and rely on local Saudi/Turk production for most of the missiles

Inderdasting.


Seems like it.

Just another day in the "everyone jews everyone" timeline

They have enough money to buy whoever can do that. Russia is probably getting mad dosh off this deal - not only blueprints and licenses are getting purchased, but a whole army of engineers and workers, to boot.
Not the first time russkies shoot themselves in the foot, tbh. USSR was selling weapons to Taliban like crazy before the Afghan War.

Because WW2 technology is cutting edge.

And SA is probably making some oil-market arrangement with them.


Oh boy, here we go.

...

Is the G36 melting memes are true or something? Why is Europe abandoning the G36 platform in favor of the AR-15 and HK416?

Well, because AR-15 is the new FAL - reliable, modifiable and with spare parts found pretty much anywhere. And HK416 is simply a great gun all around, but expensive as hell.

I have a feeling HK excepted NATO will just switch over to the HK416 just by HK name alone. Overlooked up expensive they are. Other words their planned backfired. /k/ suspected H&K encourage the bad press on the G36.

Stop smoking that shit, it's bad for you.

I bet you watch PASWG faggot. Dragon maid Kobayashi is the best anime in years.

the G3 platform is inherently worse than the AR platform. Those rollers are pure cancer and don't contribute to accuracy, and lets not even talk about field use.

No idea why you said that or why you think it's correct, everybody knows European NATO states are legally required not to give any thought to the company making a firearm and instead focus on the firearm and it's cost to produce alone, with no other factors accounted for.


This is the same board that thinks full power battle rifles are going to make a comeback.
It's full of plinkers and know-it-alls, maybe the odd muhreen every now and then.
I've seen threads on 8/k/ where the popular opinion for CCW is to have a round in the chamber with the safety off, cat 3.
Go to /k/ to shitpost about gun waifus, do not actually use /k/ as a reliable source for anything that you would want to back up with actual evidence.

This is coming from someone who browses /k/ every day, it's full of americans, and we all know what boards filled with americans are like.

we're in one

This is very strange. Who are they planning on fighting?

Something big is going to happen…

You just wait until our Russian posters wake up of whom very few are actually paid shills, which makes you wonder about how stupidly patriotic most Russians are since they do it for free.

One Day After Historic Saudi-Russian Summit, US Suspends Military Exercises With "Arab Allies"
archive.is/jMhZx (ZH)

So Trump sells SA 200b worth of weapons and then starts to break alliances? Was this some kind of pay off so America could be free of SA rule in some capacity or is the arms deal not going through now?

Maybe the Russian/American weapons are for the new faction that is taking over SA vs the older faction?

Doh ho ho! They way these things work is they tailor the parameters of the trials after what weapon they want to purchase and then when it wins the trials they buy it.

The Saudi military is essentially a mercenary army in all fields except infantry.
And their infantry are more thugs than soldiers.

Well, duh. Arabs cannot fight. They are merchants, not warriors. They do not have a military tradition, they are incapable of developing their own military doctrines and they do not comprehend the notions of respect and obedience, something absolutely necessary for military hierarchy. Their officers can only lead through fear and their soldiers only obey when they would be punished for doing otherwise.
Same goes for Turks, although they are slightly more organized.

inb4 this is just a clever ruse to skirt around the embargo/ban on Russian made weapons.

Kinda like Obama accidentally giving ISIS 1500 military humvees?

Well. Theres also the fact that they seem unable to maintain or build anything advanced.
Arab "mechanics" are so hilariously incompetent that the saudi royal airforce runs entirely on foreign contractors.

No, more like the US giving Osama weapons and training in the 70s to fight the commies.

Because they are parasites, user. Read up about the so-called Pisslamic Golden Age - it relied entirely on stolen achievements and ideas. Persian, Indian, Greek, Egyptian - Arabs conquered these people, took their achievements for their own and started using them. The moment they became outdated, the entire Muslim world immediately fragmented and rolled straight back into herding camels and fucking goats. A merchant is a parasite by design. He does not create anything, he can only buy, copy and resell it.
Seen all those fancy skyscrapers in arabistans? Most of them are empty; some do not even have a minimal finish on the inside. Just expensive pieces of metal and concrete, because some goatfuckers who have been to the US saw them and decided that if they build some too, they will prosper just like the West. So they invited thousands of architects and engineers, got these skyscrapers built (with slave labor, because Arabs work just like they fight) and started waiting for prosperity to drop into their lap. But it did not happen, because no one wanted to rent space in these skyscrapers due to insane prices and kebabs refused to decrease them. This continues to this day. These sparkling glass towers are essentially huge signs screaming "I am a pre-medieval troglodyte who does not understand basic economics".

The Religion of Cuck™ic world fell apart because it couldn't expand. It ran out of weak or declining civilisations it could reach.
At that point their polygamous society had no choice but to cannibalise itself.
Causing it all to fall apart.

That does not disprove what I said. Mudslimes could no longer sustain themselves with the knowledge they stole because there were no more vulnerable enemies to take advantage of and pillage.

They used all their cold war shit
Those bombers are 50 years old flying with a gps duct taped to a dashboard full of grime

I've always been curious (and quite suspicious) of the LACK of Russian posters on Holla Forums. Basically every european and anglosphere nationality is represented on here, with two glaring exceptions: French and Russians.

Knowledge wasn't really that big a deal.
Their whole society was built around constant expansion. Without it, it implodes.

The French always stick to their own. I think 8ch is blocked in Russia.

the sanctions on russia is really working every country NOW wants russian make weapons.

It isn't as inherently accurate as stoner type DI, but the violent action of roller delayed
blow back makes it very reliable. The roller needing to be replaced once in a while isn't great, but 5k of .308 is a lot of ammo, if you can afford that, you can afford some cheap rollers. The G3 has held up pretty well compared to other legacy battle rifles.


I don't think it's that strange, the logistics and familiarity with soviet designs just makes more sense. Dune coons have had soviet hardware for decades, 7.62x39 and AKM mags are a lot more common in the sandbox than AR stuff.

this is how sandniggers buy protection.
they give money to other nations in the form of acquisitions.
they would had bought sand from Russia if it was the only thing Russia was selling.

Their sacrifice will be worth it. I'm much more worried about historic buildings being damage I'm Europe. But I guess the Dresden Altstadt is still incredibly beautiful (even though the rest of the city is commie/modern horse shit

...

Wait, you need permission to make an Kalash? kek.

because M16s suck in the sand?

Yes. And?…

Russia is still zoglite , they'll always have a price for dropping support for Syria, it's just that the kike's guaranteed incentives for doing so dont outweigh a Naval presence and influence in the Mediterannean.

You realise this place is literally banned in Russia, right?

THIS FAGGOT MEME NEEDS TO DIE

You could just end it there user. KSA can't even find enough citizen recruits to have a properly trained military. They're gonna have to hire South African mercs/Erik Prince to train up an army of South Americans.

Thanks!>>10721531

I don't feel good about Russians selling this shit to SA.
I'm Slavic and I support Russia, but s400 to arabs?
No

I was in Dubai about 15 years ago. Never in my life have I seen people this fat nor this many of them.

Useless fucking Arabs.

The problem there is their citizens are not educated.
They take people with minimal education and try to get them to fix aircraft

Don't worry it'll be maintained and operated by Russians. Since the Saudis won't be able to provide any people capable of doing so.

They'll have a Saudi officer to pander to but thats about it.

because thats how military industrial complex monopolies and alliance standardisation works

But that's even worse. If the Saudis mainainted and operated it, it'd be useless, not so if it's the Russians.

you mean like how the US stopped expanding when it hit china, iran and russia in the 2000s?
bright days ahead

Different.
The USA operates on a very different dynamic and isn't falling apart due to an inability to expand but to its own flawed internal society.
There are literally no circumstances in which the USA is stable in the long term. Shit was doomed from day one.

If expansion was the problem then they'd be expanding south and more openly controlling south america.

Those Russians will be beholden to Russia before Saudi Arabia.
And they'll be well aware of it and probably be sent out with instructions from the Russian government on what to do in certain situations.

yeah no. you dumbasses got fucked in the ass with M14s and M16s in vietnam, and now youre getting it with the M4s in the desert.
the only reason there hasnt been a scandal yet is because your govt is shovelling billions to produce and replace every rifle within a year or two and because the lobbies own the news.

if america didnt work for the FED and didnt have a bottomles debt ceiling you lose every fucking war before it even started.

also something to put things into perspective
usdebtclock.org/index.html#

Nah, that would result in bad publicity the Russians neither want nor can afford. Either the S-400's work or the Russian defense industry has a problem.

...

Not really.
Since everyone who matters knows the Saudis won't be operating them but any instance where the S400 isn't used when it should have been will still be blamed on the Saudis.
Since it will be their fault.

If the Saudis force a situation where Russia is compelled to deny the use of the S400 then the blame falls firmly on the Saudis.
Everyone who matters will know that this shit is simply what happens when you outsource your national defence like that.

Meanwhile the public will only know that the Saudis failed. They won't know much about weapons platforms or arms deals.
But what the public thinks is irrelevant.

The S400s reputation will remain mostly inviolate.
As it stands the USA isn't prepared to test it as they want to avoid a loss of face when their stealth technology gets shown for what it is.

s400 won't be operated by the arabs because they suck at it so it will be someone to do shits for them. S400 can detect the missiles 600km away so maybe that is the reason why they sell it to the arabs.

So the Saudis buy S-400s as one of the first countries in the world, the same S-400s which the Russians have aggressively marketed to other countries and shilled on defence forums for years, have the Russian operate them and then when push comes to shove, the S-400s fail to work as advertised yet that wouldn't be a PR disaster for the Russian defense industry? Seriously?

We're assuming this is a situation where the Saudis force a situation where the Russians DON'T want them used.

They will put Russian national interest above Saudi.
If its going to have negative consequences for Russia then the Russian crew won't do their job.
Simple as.

Either way the PR damage would be massive. Nobody gives a shit WHY a weapon system doesn't work.

Overall when you buy a weapons system from a foreign power you are acknowledging subservience to that power.
Since it is a given they will retain some measure of control over the weapon system and at the very least are your only source of parts, training equipment and refills on consumables.

This is something most governments understand.
It's why NATO pushes so heavily on everyone to use NATO gear. It's not about standardisation and interoperability. It's about forcing subservience to the primary producer of NATO equipment otherwise known as Uncle Sam.
It's also why nations who buy most of their weapons and equipment off Russia are aligned with it on the international stage.

Now that the Saudis are buying off the Russians so openly this means the Saudis must shift their position closer to Russias in order to continue to enjoy the use of said equipment.
If they don't then the equipment can be expected not to work.

Everyone who matters understands this.
The only ones who will seriously be considering purchasing this equipment are those whose international objectives align with Russias or who wish to align themselves with Russia.

Okay but it's silly if arabs aren't capable of operating it and end up wasting the money. At least Russian earn the money. If this result in a muslim vs muslim war then it's a bad news for the EU because it will increase the racial tensions even more due to the massive refugees fleeing to the Europe.

That's why this is so massive.

You're still missing the crux of the matter.

If the S-400 purchased by the Saudis won't work, FOR WHICHEVER REASON, it will be a PR desaster for the Russians and their defence industry.

Potential buyers will have massive doubts, NATO will do the whole told ya so routine, defense analysts will gleefully bash it etc all of which will harm the Russian defense industry. Marketing and reputation is hugely important in today's business and political world.

why wouldnt S-400 work, its combat tested in Syria

Gun maniacs:
From the 3 spawns of the NatSoc StG 44:

Which one made the best descendants?

Saudis can't operate it because Saudis can't operate most complex equipment.
The Saudis have a severe shortage of educated people and the ones they do have typically want more flashy roles such as fighter pilots and the like.

So they have two options.
Hire Saudi goat fuckers who have barely worked a day in their lives and only have a religious education. Who ultimately can't be trained to do the job no matter how time and effort you put into training them.
Or hire foreign specialists who are able to operate the equipment but can't be relied on in any meaningful capacity because their governments will recall them the instant something they don't like happens.

All the Saudi military has that it can rely on are infantry and even then that infantry is a serious problem as it's mostly under the control of various princes.

God dam you're thick.
Lets think of a situation where the Russians will say to their people "yeah don't shoot that down"

Maybe a passenger jet?
Or a Russian military aircraft.
Or perhaps being used against Russian allies.
Or more likely a US military aircraft, which would only happen if the USA talked to the Russians first and essentially got their permission to do whatever it is they were setting out to do.

All unlikely scenarios considering the current state of affairs.
And most importantly all scenarios where either nobody will ever know or nobody who matters will care.

The AR is a great fucking weapons system, superior to the AK platform in every single fucking way.

Firstly the only reason the AR failed in Vietnam is because they switched the powder used in the ammunition, and issued the rifles without any cleaning kits, the AR must be cleaned regularly, which isn't a problem as long as your military isn't composed of conscripted peasants.

Secondarily, the only reason the AR rifles suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan is because the military used the cheapest shittiest replacement parts they could get, they literally used parts that were out of spec, parts that if they were tested according to the same fucking standards as the rifles were for adoption they wouldn't even have been fired because they failed right out of the fucking gate.

Read something on the subject before you think you're an expert, you mouth breathing retard faggot.

Nah mate, I'm just someone who has worked in the marketing department of a major retail company (unfortunately) so I know how the system works. You do not, you can not market your products via failure.

Indeed, scenarios which have next to do with the subject at hand so why did you bring them up?

You seem knowledgeable. Are you able to answer my question here?

The world today has been polarised between the AR and AK platforms, but what about the G3?

G3 is fairly overbuilt and the rollers tend to have the need for being checked up on from time to time or one is going to take all the force which is really really bad.

...

Good gun as such but the ergonomics suck. Or sucked, look up a company named Spuhr. I believe the German military is still using them in sizeable numbers as DMR rifles.


If your AR is from a quality company (DD, BCM, KAC etc) all you need to keep it running is some quality lube like Slip 2000 or TW25B.

G3 is a good rifle but the logistics of having another piece share the monopoly with already established rifles like the M4 makes its wide adaptation unlikely. thats why so many special forces use it in europe, while their armies use belgian and american guns.

if youre in a war you wont shoot your clean rifle for two hours in a sunny forrest afternoon and then go home, clean it and go to bed.

Yes, more than anything, the AR, AK and G3 are platforms and have many spawns.
I'll look into it. Since HK failed miserably in doing the G36 (it was based on the AR-18, not on the G3) , the G3 platform was never refurbished and kind of abandoned, apart from the many small branchings.

You don't have to clean it, you just have to lube it every now and then. Ask the faggots on LF or ARFCOM if you want exact statistics or something.

Case in point, the legendary Filthy 14:

lightfighter.net/topic/filthy-14-round-count

Military arms sales don't work like retail sales.
Whats more important is how the purchase relates to your position in the international power games.

This is why everyone in the west is freaking over Saudis and Turks buying off the Russians.
And why the Turks have so brazenly leveraged this to try and gain concessions from the west.

Otherwise nobody would be buying into US stealth technology because it's well known that it no longer works against anyone who has the capacity to actually shoot down a modern aircraft. While haajis in the desert can barely detect non-stealth aircraft and certainly can't shoot em down.

The USA would never have bought most of its own gear because a lot of it is a fucking mess that doesn't work to spec and in some cases kills its own operators.
And this is not new. There's a long history of failure in regards to western military equipment but it all got bought by multiple nations anyways.

And when you buy advanced equipment there is an expectation of it being under the control of the one who sold you it.

Yeah for the most the armalites the US military uses are fairly decent.
Ugly as sin and built like a toy. But they work for what the US military wants to use them for.
And more importantly they work quite well with the manpower the US military has.

Let us just all agree that none of this matter? The future belongs to the AK-107/108/109 in the Russosphere and the Beretta ARX-160/200 on the Western front.
The age of the M16 variants is over.

G3, it's an extremely reliable, and a cheap rifle to mass manufacture, for wide adoption the G3 is the best choice. But as a sniper the AR-10 is better since it is both lighter, and the rotating bolt has a more consistent lockup, which lends itself to accuracy. You as an individual can choose whichever you want, but I personally would choose a AR-10/AR-308 variant from a reputable manufacturer.


Did you literally not read the fucking post I just made you inbred troglodyte?

If you have any semblance of a functioning military your soldiers are going to be cleaning their guns regularly.

I'm asking you this as an unironic question, are you retarded, or on the 'tism spectrum?

an*

They actually do, hence why you have all these weapons trade shows, just like any other trade show, and marketing campaigns, and tenders etc.

Bro, when you're interested in buying a weapon and that weapon has just failed not just in a competition but in real life, again failed FOR WHICHEVER REASON, are you more or less keen on buying that weapon?

It's a no brainer.


Why? Unequalled ergonomics. Reliable no matter what shills claim. Modular. Accurate.

Literally why?


What you wrote is correct but the G3 itself has a reputation for accuracy and is being used in the DM role. Hell, the incredibly accurate PSG1 is based on it.

Because both NATO and the US Army said so.

No, those are specialized rifles that have reinforced receivers with extra material welded to them to strengthen them, and specialized bolts that utilize a different form of rollers for the lockup. Your average G3 will have a 2-3 MOA, which isn't bad at all, it falls completely within what is necessary for normal combat distances, but it's not really a precision weapon as such.

You're a fucking retard. This isn't a weapons show, you fucking dense piece of steaming shit.

If it fails it's because the Russians wanted it to, and any equipment operated by another nation will be like that, American made shit as well.

Do you even read fuckface?
The AK is less reliable than the AR, the AR just needs to be fucking maintained. The AK is far more open than the AR, and is as such less resistant to sand and mud.

Kill yourself my, retarded friend.

Now I understand, you're so retarded that you don't even know that it is necessary to clean literally ALL weapons, it's just that the cleaning schedule of the AK is less rigorous than that of the AR, the AK is still an inferior design, you fucking dipshit.

In all seriousness now, comparing the AKM with the AR-15 today is dumb.
At least compare the AK-108 with the HK416, which are the most modern variants of the AK and AR.

Now I understand, you're so retarded that you don't even know that it is necessary to clean literally ALL weapons, it's just that the cleaning schedule of the AK is less rigorous than that of the AR, the AK is still an inferior design, you fucking dipshit.

From Wikipedia

Could Saudi Arabia be fortifying themselves against Israel? Surely there'd be no point in arming them against our own missiles. Is the real (((Axis of Evil))) starting to fall apart?

Now that I think about it, having both NATO and Russian systems would make them protected from both sides. At least in sandnigger-theory.

you mean if your military wont be fighting wars and will be sitting on their asses in foregein bases and sometimes driving around in low intensity conflicts your soldiers are going to be cleaning their guns regularly

...

That is going to be so interesting to watch. The private soldiers will abandon them when the economy collapse.

ftfy

Thank mate.

They do have at least one night shift worker.

very great video, I saved it so I can use it against future soros natali or whatever that cucks name is, explains many things that I knew very well.

what are you, gay?

...

New Yemen thread when?

Those are yet to come, my friend

They probably have shit tons of gold to use in the vent of an economic emergency.

Yeah fuckface, all guns need to be cleaned. Go stick a dragon dildo up your ass you britcuck nofuns faggot.


No in all wars ever fought with guns they always cleaned their guns regularly, from the 30 years war to WW2, all militaries made their soldiers fucking anal about keeping their guns clean, fuckface, the only exception are the inbred goatfuckers and rice farmers of Afghanistan and Vietnam, who are too retarded to know what toilet paper is.

Kill yourself faggot.

...

Being this retarded.

yemen is usually discussed in /sg/, like most other ME related things that dont get their own thread.

actually they shipped most of their gold to the US, in return for a guarentee on the petrodollar deal.
the US buys saudi oil and defends its regionalinterests while saudis keep the petrodollar standing and enforce it and US foregein policy in the region.
i cant remember the source about the gold transfer but it was along the lines of saudis thinking they got oil and dont need it and the US fucking over yet another country with gold for fiat currency

not all, especially not conscript armies.
its interesting that majority of the world prefers ruggid soviet equipment over NATO, isnt it?
must some sort of a commie military industrial conspiracy.

but hey, i wont bother you while you jerk off on your plastic AR

They are not getting the gold back. Germany tried that and didn't get the gold back. It is better for the country to store them in their own vault.

Very true, unfortunately. And that's not even touching on the tungsten issue, i.e. fake ingots.

But what about when you license the design to manufacture them yourself? Like the OPs example.

That's only for the AK's. Not the S-400.

(checked)
No, that's exaggerated. There can be subservience, as in the case of the Eastern Bloc, but oftentimes it's simple economic and logistical concerns.

Tungsten is better than gold anyway.

True but they won't get anything from US so private soldiers will still abandon them regardless of what reasons. Nobody want to die for Saudi Arabia cause the saudi arabian are shit.

the info a few years back was that the NY fed was reluctant to let the precious barbarous relic slip from their rubbing hands for fear that the info would trigger a bank tun on their tungsten, so they tried to impose an outrageously slow rate of slippage, but germany insisted a bit harder after a few months and threatened to sue, which would have triggered a full-blown panic, so the jews relented
and in the german "negociation" was the info that they would test every single ingot to make sure it was genuine
so far, they are

>* trigger a bank run on their tungsten

Surprising.

I don't think you understand how "stealth" ie low radar cross section works. You can countermand it with very primitive technology or brute force techniques such as just putting your radar sites closer together and boosting their output so there aren't gaps in the radar net to exploit. You can also use long wavelength to help detect low cross section vehicles, but that only works at certain ranges and under specific weather conditions. You can spam missiles at the area you suspect the target to be and by luck get one in close enough proximity to get a lock on either heat or radar reflection. You can use multiple platforms with active radar to detect the enemy by doing real time comparision between their radar returns of the area you suspect the target to occupy.

All these cost money, time, resources, and require you to allocate more forces to oppose the enemy and they make you more visible while you do it inviting the enemy to counter attack your now relieved positions. That is the entire point of any weapon system or tactic, including stealth, it was never designed to be magic invisibility, it was designed to cost the Soviets more shit to interdict the actions you are taking and increase your range of engagement while decreasing their own. You can sit out their with passive radar and detect those sweeping the area for you and fire on them before they can fire on you. That is the point of the entire en-devour to being with.

Not with such shitty cost-inefficient "stealth" you couldn't.

So all you've got is "low radar cross-section doesn't work because slavshit stronk". Look you're dealing with two arms markets and military complexes that run on completely different philosophies. The American system is a bunch of shitheads who drum up a "crisis" like the Cruiser Gap in the 80s to get money allocated to their own projects. Basically they claim there is a huge deficiency and play off public outcry or fear of such to get their money. The Russians practice "face" and aggrandize their own shit, exaggerating capabilities in order to garner support through promised results. Remember the R-7 missile remember the "Bison" Bomber, that's practicing face not only to get money from your government but to put up a strong front to the enemy.

It's not cost efficient in the slightest.

This is indeed clown world. A military is funding a possibly competing military for the "intellectual property rights" to build guns to defend their country. Despite the fact that all of the details of these guns are very widely known and copied. Presumably to avoid their military from being sued by the other country.

What they're gonna do with gold? Who will accept it as legal tender when it offers no benefit from owning it?
Gold is a retarded meme (as any metalism or commodity-based currency) and in the case of a crisis, Barter will become king again.

gold is a well estabilshed value currency dumbass.
the whole fucking point of currencies is so you dont have autistic screeching about how much wood is how much oil worth.
barter on a global scale is literally a communism meme.

...

It's usually inefficient. But still valid if both sides want it.

Do you guys even listen to yourselves anymore?

Could you link the posts you're referring to here? When you click the post number it will automatically cue up a reply box with a post to that link and any others you would like to list in succession.

What if it is majority assembly, with some parts coming from elsewhere.

lurk more.
also whats that retarded jpg suppost to do with bartering?
germany still had a curreny and traded internationally with other currencies. the only difference was that their currency wasnt a fiat one.

werent you autistically screeching

To label this as a trump thing would be a failing to look at the past. The US has been giving weapons to groups who hate it since forever.

what the shit, even Russia didnt want this and moved on to AK-12

Not even CTR shills weren't THAT confused, Schlomo.

The guy on the right has a thor's hammer necklace. Am I wrong?"

oh, did the caricature make you think?
did it finnaly accur to you that the US is run by the deep state ZOG and not the president?

russia didnt want it because of the standardised doctrine and logistics.
saudi arabia is adopting a new weapon and doesent have to worry about it being adaptable to their past arsenal
