IT'S HAPPENING

UAE warship obliterated off the coast of Yemen

Sana'a, Yemen (11:48 P.M) - The Houthi-allied Yemeni Republican Guard were able to destroy an Emirati Navy HSV-2 Swift ship near the port city of Mokha with a C802 Cruise Missile.

The Saudi-led coalition condemned the event blasting the Houthis for allegedly destroying a ship carrying humanitarian cargo.

However, the allegation is borderline comical since the warship took off from Aden and was located in the vicinity of the embattled port city of Mokha, a front of incessant violent clashes.

Initially, state-owned UAE media denied the claim and mentioned that a humanitarian ship was merely damaged due to technical difficulty while all those aboard it were rescued until video footage was published by Yemeni sources portraying the fried, sinking ship.

How did goat fucking houthis get a cruise missile?

MERELY DAMAGED

Bump

Whenever arab countries have a civil war their military forces split down the line based on clan loyalty, so as long as they have a few people who were in missile groups they could have several

They've already used them to hit targets inside Saudi Arabia as well

I keep hearing rumors of the Yemeni sinking Saudi ships, but confirmation is always a few blurry pictures and somebody yelling in muzlim.

...

Most of the Yemeni army is with them (and is fairly competent at using big assets efficiently, they Scuded at least two Saudi airbase and that's not the first ship they sunk), they also get care packages from various sources (those missiles are chinese).

WHO THEE?

ALLAH'U AKBAR
ALLAH'U AKBAR

VERY NICE

Iran and friends, or the Suadis sank it themselves, their mercenaries and soldiers have been getting raped constantly.

They have shitload of old Tochka missiles

These ships don't look cheap.
For the cost of a single missile, those Yeahmans sent lot of oil money to the ocean floor.

deagel.com/Auxiliary-Vessels/JHSV_a000058001.aspx

They're getting resupplied by Iran.

What's most impressive is that they manage to get them from the ships and then operate them despite near total airspace control by KSA and cie and tech support from US intel.

The US intel doesn't matter much. Arab military can't into command lines and sharing of information.

Uh huh.

You see my wannabe Ivan, when you let a Jew fly, they do not know how to shit properly in the cockpit and end up coating electronics in their foul kosher waste. This terrified animal then bleats and madly hammers the buttons like they have become Capcom and in doing so, successfully fire the munitions somewhere. Frequently they manage to eject and save their fear ravaged asses from ever again going beyond a mild shuffle.

Now if you want real pilots in KSA, those are the Pakistani, mean bastards who do great everywhere, great people, great respect.

Everybody in the ME suffers, killing them now is a kindness.

good

always the same fucking bullshit. Only weapons go to a warzone.

CIA is probably playing both sides so that we can sell more ships and equipment to the Saudis.
Gotta get those oil dollars back somehow.

I'm unashamedly butthurt that these retarded goatfuckers have so much nice military gear. They can't fight worth a damn but they have all sort of nice new stuff. Them, Kuwait, etc. are all running around with shit like that ship and guns like these, and we're stuck with m16's so old they're turning purple.

Extend that to everyone and you have a deal.

I watched the video. The ship wasn't even 1000 meters off-shore. Anyone could have savaged it with RPGs, let alone an anti-tank missle. Using a cruise missle, that must have been close to the minimum possible arming distance.

so which one of these is (((allied))) with us? Is the other one a bad goy?

They are just lead projectors, nothing to get emotional about. Small arms are shit.

Take a guess one is the facilitator of 9/11 the other has literally death to jews on it's flag.

hahahaha guess they wished they would have installed a goalkeeper

This will sound insane but this ship may be leased from the US with full US military crew

strategypage.com/htmw/htseamo/20150818.aspx

If that is true, then it wouldn't be surprising given how America has stayed neutral in this conflict. This would be the perfect event to cause us to help ""our allies"" the (((saudis))), by giving more aid.

This is the missile system. 120km operational range.

Eh, yes and no. Unless we start throwing nukes at each other, you will never, ever, ever in a hundred thousand years of warfare not need a man with a gun to kick in a door and dig some fucker out of his hole. Peleliu being a perfect example. I'm just saying, having had to do it, I would have preferred not to do it with an outdated rifle that was physically as old as I was.

...

LULZ fucking saved

Christ, you Saudis are so paranoid about your women running that you can't lie straight.

War ship. Humanitarian cargo. Yeah…

Im still convinced the first bullpup design was a massive troll.. much like the origin of dubstep.

Bullpups are trash

Kill yourself namefag


There's advantages and disadvantages

The M-16 is a shit weapon, you really want a M-14. That's even older in design, but if the parts are in specification, it is as good as new.

Bullpups are the bastard children of a rifle and a subgun, and excel at neither role.

M8 bullpups a shit. Your old M16 is a much better weapon than some shitty Russian bullpup meme gun.

You first.

That makes zero sense you fucking noguns larper namefag.

They're just more ergonomic rifles with shitty triggers.

Nein

For the Close Quarter Battle you want a submachine gun. For everywhere else you want a medium range you want a medium machinegun and mortars, and at long range you want heavy machineguns and artillery. Only place for a rifle is because you might like to have a few snipers, but the rifle is a relic, not well suited for modern combat with the intensity of fire. It is only because the troops of yesteryear had muskets that the average soldier is equiped with a rifle. If anything, thete should be specialist grenadiers and not snipers. The use of single shots with carefully aimed fire an economic decision, not a tactical one. That said, only hits count, but using a well-controlled bullet hose is the best way to get a lot of hits and inspire terror. Alone ping in the dirt won't make a faggot shit his pants like a dust cloud from a hundred impacts in the dirt.

Anyway, for laying down the hurt the bullpup is a joke, its an abomination. You might as well use an artillery luger.

agreed. I bought a top of the line AR out of nostalgia for the rifle i carried in Iraq.. It wasnt until I took it to the range that I realized that I was a dope and the design of AR's is flawed at an unacceptable level especially for the cost. My beat up issued gun had the same exact problems my new gun but prior to making that purchase I assumed it was because the beating that think took prior to me being issued it.

Id like an M1A but im done spending more than 700 on a rifle. Its absolutely unwarranted.

bump

PRAISE KEK

well the make up of a us combat platoon is generally unless it is a reinforced platoon 3 squads with each squad being made up of 3 fire teams, a hq element sgt, medic, radio, intel, and two attack fire teams two riflemen, a saw gunner and a grenadier who is also generally the fire team leader

In modern combat the concept of a sniper is very archaic. What we had in iraq was one man per squad was designated as overwatch or guardian angel, he was issued an additional rifle **mk12 which iirc was a SR-25 modded to be a counter sniper rifle (scope, bipod and silencer, this always starts an argument but I'll state it anyway.. It was as quiet as a mouse farting)

As far as actual bolt action snipers each battalion of 1000 men has a scout sniper platoon amounting to like 12 shooters and 12 spotters.

But thats for a military designed for occupation.. For guerrillas the bolt action sniper will play a crucial role until railguns get sized down to be man operated.

Weren't you already banned a few weeks back namefag?
Go back to Holla Forums.

Some of the worst analysis and advice I've seen here, most likely formulated from your vidya experiences.

Bump for happening.

You are so fucking retarded.
Submachine guns are being actively phased out. Carbine length rifles are superior to submachine guns in every possible way. SWAT teams use carbines, military, counterterrorism units, all use fucking carbines. The submachine gun is a relic of the past. Literally the opposite of what you say is true.

This guy posted on /k/ for a couple of days and nobody could stand his namefagging, LARPing, and complete mental retardation. He claimed to be a gunsmith, a master machinist, a expert marksman in the Marines, all kinds of shit, but he's obviously a fucking 12 year old. After he got banned, he threw an autistic hissyfit and spammed the board with cuck porn for 3 days while ranting about how he was teaching us a lesson and that he had the moral high ground, and refusing to stop being a namefag. This guy is turbo cancer and needs to be purged.

"Makise Kurisu" auto filters to "Cuck Jerusalem" on /k/ now. We had to eliminate the name feature entirely as well.

Seriously, fuck this guy.

That would be great.

No, unless you are a manlet woman. .300 Nigout in a short barrel outdoes most SMG's. Also kill yourself namefag.

...

When almost everyone wear plates that can stop AP rifle bullet and we just lob grenades from launchers at each other.

...

kek also this

even a full length rifle is fine for cqb… you just tuck the stock under your armpit

the dangerous part is
the saudi rulers, really think they are Royals,

they have huge egos, and getting defeated by their poor cousins in sandals is gonna fuck with them

they are the type to risk it all just to avoid this embarassment,

so expect the saudis to go all in and lose it all

:^)

nope…someone was just smoking a cig below deck too close to all that "humanitarian aid" and it went off

blasphemy

The little Holla Forumsack that cried wolf will eventually come true and on that day the greatest happening will confirm all false happenings of the past.

Hey m8, all those weapons and ammo those troops were armed with that were supplied by the KSA will be used to ensure a greater Israel for generations of jews to come, countless little semites can now rest nestled in their beds with the knowledge that the world is being made a safer place for them and them alone. Show a little class you anti-semite and stop thinking so narrow mindedly. This was a humanitarian cargo shipment that was ultimately meant to aid the only people on this earth that actually matter, the jews.

I remember seeing this documentary about Brits helping to train the Iraqi police. They were going to arrest some drug dealers from some village, but had to take the mobile phones off all the cops from that village, otherwise they would phone ahead and warn them. Trying to superimpose western liberal democracy on these people is just insane.

Iran.

Stupid uninformed posts, Yemen doesn't want the Iranians getting involved in their war, in huge contrast to what people believe
Whenever Iran says something about yemen it's mostly pr
another stupid post, the usa is 100% on the saudis in this war, all the time


already stockpiled along with a mountain of ammo and firearms for a number of years back when Saleh was still in charge
As for how they're getting more, take note that many more of their BMs are 'Made in Yemen', (i.e. homegrown, just like the cheap version of the anti tow system in syria)

Skream wasn't a troll, though.
Dubstep from 2005 sounds absolutely nothing like """dubstep""" today.
Skrillex was a mistake.

I hope so.

literally would rather have a garand than a bullpup

Watching the Saudis get blown up is always interesting.

I just hope the US can return to splendid isolationism and watch the Chinks and Nips duke it out in a decade or so.

The Russians used the subgun to great effect in WW2. Also, stay salty you cuck.

HSV-2 is a defenseless piece of shit yacht.

C802 is a short ranged slow piece of shit cruise missile.

I'm appalled the Saudis had their cargo boat unescorted within missile range of the shore, or that Yemenis wasted a warhead on it.

WEW
That's the closest value possible to a 1488 get on a clock.


That's what oil money and not being trillions in debt giving gibs to every non-white in the world gets you.


>>>/suicide/

That's Houthi PR unveiling """their""" new """"homemade""" "Burkan-1" missile because they're running out of Tochkas.

Third pic is an Iranian Sahab-2.

Also what I though to be a C-802 dashboard is actually the dashboard of a Noor missile (Iranian version of Chinese AShM) from OP post.

But yeah you're right I'm stupid, Iran is totally not supplying them…

So whatever happened to the Houthis capturing a southern Saudi city?

Also why are Houthis so good at fighting?

If the mag being behind the trigger is such a let down then why do you love pistols so much? And are not many pistols considered even more reliable than rifles? I for one welcome more design effort on pups.

Yeah, during WW2. When most soldiers were equipped with bolt action rifles. A lot of shit has changed since then. The whole purpose of the assault rifle was to bridge the gap between a submachinegun and a full sized rifle. That's why intermediate cartridges became popular. Of course you would know that if you weren't 12. Guns irl aren't like your vidya games.

Kill yourself namefag

The main problems with bullpups is that they have shitty triggers due to the linkages involved and they are awkward to reload in a prone position. The shitty nigger-gun company Kel-Tec actually designed what they call a "floating linkage" in their RFB rifle which pretty much fixes the shit-trigger problem. It's a pretty promising development.

They aren't, it's just that Saudis are so bad.

Not sure how you would describe this as a waste of munitions. Looked like a pretty fucking effective use of tools available to me.

Intermediate cartridges are 7.62mm NATO, the full-size was 30-06. The 5.56 is a puny little thing, and the M-4 carbine is in practice a worse weapon than a Russian WW2 subgun.

Now the reason we use a wussy little gun with wussy little bullets is because we have a bunch of 5 foot tall Mexicans in our armed forces these days, who cannot shoulder a man's weapon. The so-called weight savings is IDIOTIC when they make you carry a 100lb+ pack. Anyway, you know all of this already, you are basically trying to say that Rei isn't a shit waifu and you are objectively wrong.

Yeah sure scrub, maybe you will say the pentatomic army didn't lead to the M60 now and it was a demand for helo doors gunners instead.

7.62 neato is not an intermediate cartridge. Its a full sized service rifle cartrige similar to a .308. Your noguns is showing. Just stop trying. You don't know shit and should…

Kill yourself namefag.

fucking die

Also, the Russian submachine guns fired 7.62x25 which is a tiny puny round also so what's your fucking point? Oh yeah, you don't have one and are LARPing as a person who knows something about guns. You realize you're arguing with an actual gunsmith right?

Kill yourself namefag

...

The 'Assault Weapon' concept was first proved in the Stg. 44 which fired 7.92mm kurz, which is ballistically similar to modern 300 blackout. After WWII the European NATO members wanted to use an intermediate cartridge like what 5.56mm is today, but America didn't want a weaker round and opted for the full-power 7.62mm NATO.

Man, I don't think you know what you're talking about. To give you some food for thought, for the weight of nine fully loaded magazines of 7.62x39 you can have thirteen loaded mags of 5.45 in places. Volume of fire is important.

all of /k is in here?

...

...

Well the best use of a missile like that is to keep them in reserve, because then the enemy has to stay 100km off the coast.

If you use it, the enemy immediately knows what your launchers look like, what the likely approaches they take to get to the shore, and maybe even how many you have left.

This information all can be put together by analysts to produce "safe zones" where enemy ships can feel safe approaching the shore and putting brigades of soldiers behind your lines.

In that sense, it's a waste of a missile.

They might milk it for propaganda but this is of strictly limited utility because Yemeni media can't really penetrate to the Saudi civilian to demoralize him, and even if they could demoralize Saudi civilians… Saudi Arabia is not a democracy, the king doesn't care what civilians think.

Its like I should respect those who further my goals.
If you want respect earn it, I give none as an iconoclaster.

Another worthless namefag added to the filter :^)

I come to Holla Forums to discuss politics and /k/ to discuss guns.

I'm below-average to average knowledgeable about both topics.

Doesn't this make this the tenth or eleventh Saudi ship that got sunk during this conflict, all because they can't into naval warfare and sit only 1km or so from the coast?

Hope this boat was full of expensive important supplies for the Saudis.

Well the other part of the shot is establishing that they messed up on the intel. Its quite worth it in warstrating to have some suicide assets solely there to make the enemy hunker down and try to work out just what the fuck happened.
A better mine field if you would.

For those wondering, many mine fields are more about slowing a target and making them reroute, denying area or have to clear them than making some densly packed kill everything field.

Apparently the ship in question was leased from the US by the emiratis, meaning said ship also included a full US navy crewmen to operate it to its full capability

No problem, Obama will just sneak in the bodies at 3am back to Dover like Bush did during his war.

…Does this mean said US navy crew were lost as well or is there a chance they made it out?

I keep /k/ in /k/ and Holla Forums in Holla Forums unless said /k/ knowledge is needed here.

Dude. It's a fucking cruise missile. They be dead.

Nope. A vessel being leased to another government does not include personnel. It's like saying that the equipment we leased to the UK during WW2 was manned by Americans. Possibly some advisors, but the crew would be arab.

How do literal Korengal Valley-tier goat fuckers get enough coordination to damage a boat?

Must be Russian trained Iranian advisors :^)

Yemen has historically been a graveyard for invading armies, the Saudis and the Jews don't seem to read up on history

The 30-06 is the full size cartridge and the 7.62mm NATO was the compromise round. Then they went to 5.56mm, which is a fucking .223 caliber, but it is only really effective when you get a hit under 300 meters from the hydrostatic shock, but of course the dumbfucks who love being special wanted to fire it out of a shorter barrel, such that the M4 had an effective range of 100 meters. Now that is so shitty that a 9mm subgun (roughly .308 caliber) is without question a superior option. Now, back to the M16 with a full length barrel, the 5.56mm was found to be lacking in penetration through a sheet metal door common for your mid-sized car (which the 7.62x39 could easily chew thru) and even most helmets, so we decided to up the bullet weight from 55 grain lead core to 62 grain steel core. Then, to ensure bullet stability in sub-zero temperatures, the rate of barrel twist was increased to 1:7. That made for the worst possible round… at close range it punches a straw-hole thru the target, as seen as far back as Somalia when it was found that you need to shoot a skinny 5 or 6 times to drop 'em, and at longer ranges it hits about as hard as any 22 LR, which is very rarely fatal unless you hit a vital organ, the wound itself being less than the effect of other notoriously weak rounds like the 32acp and the .38. So, we have in the 5.56 probably the worst rifle cartridge of all-time being fored out of barrels in the case of the m4 that make it inferior to a 9mm subgun. Pathetic indeed.

The next question should be "why"? The answer is economics, and that your life isn't worth getting issued full-size ammunition.

Since when is the US in the navy leasing business? I get general military contracting in foreign countries and I get selling boats to (((friendly))) nations, but an entire ship? This is going to be forgotten quickly.

Typo. 9mm is close to .38 caliber

Pick one you nogunz faggot.

Ever hear of the lend-lease act?

...

I know nothing about Yemen, but I'm assuming it's very mountainous and generally worthless resource wise, which is why nobody has bothered to follow through with removing them.

You're telling me pic related operated a cruise missile launcher and hit a boat, a boat full of the supposedly best trained semen slurping burger sailors?

Isn't "destroyers for bases" more applicable here?

Yeah it seems that if you aren't stuck fighting cataract inflicted blind men with shittier than a shovel AK, its suddenly not going so well for you clapper soldiers.

Last time I read up on the lend-lease act, I'm pretty sure the US wasn't giving Russia fleets, crew included.

Burgers won't like to hear it, but from my personal experiences alone, it seems that if they don't have some veteran NCO to lead them, Americans are shockingly incompetent.
And guess what, most of them are phasing out, getting promoted to desk jockey positions or replaced with non-white trash.
Good fucking luck.

You mean the something-Americans.

Are SMG's obsolete?

Yes

No, retard. Anyone who actually believes that the ship was manned by Americans is fucking retarded. We lease EQUIPMENT to foreign governments not personnel. Why does everyone believe a retard who provided no evidence of the ship being crewed by Americans or did you not read his linked article? The HSV was used to develop a class of ships over the period of a decade. The ship served its purpose and now a full production ship is being released by the Aussie manufacturer. That ship isn't needed, so the unneeded equipment (once again, not personnel) was leased to the UAE.


For fucks sake, user.

No, your All-American red-hot-blooded Midwestern farmboys.

Now I know how emasculated the Soviets must've felt in Afghanistan.

wow anonymous anecdotal evidence!

filter this faggot he is going to derail the thread

I told you it's just my personal experiance

This fucking namefag again…

I'm just saying that someone trained them and more importantly gave them information on where this ship would be. If you believe that these Yemeni goat herders both trained and gathered the intelligence themselves, then I'm interested in buying a WTC insurance policy from you.

The /sg/ has often some amazing vids of the Houthis.

Current one has sniping vehicles with AT rifle at very long distance, ambushing vehicles by digging pit traps, they never are numerous but you always hear radio chatter in the background, etc…

very symmetrical digits user

our military should be using 7.62x51 end of story

SO

What are the chances of this tunring into something critically serious that might just lead to the cold war turning hot?

it just continues to make everything worse user

Where "Destroyers" means ZOG troops and "Bases" means Jewish banker interests.

It says "took off from Aden" so whatever they were smuggling was probably delivered. Unless they were trying to move something out of there.

Into the bog with you.

i doubt arab crews can man a ship THAT advanced, and i also doubt the us would just let them handle it, but they're not gonna just blab all of that all over on tv now would they?

It's not THAT advanced. It's a fast transport ship.

Yemen is also the second most heavily armed country in the world and undoubtedly nearly all male Yemenis likely have fighting experience because it was the site of almost continuous proxy war from 1963 to 1990, plus a short civil war in 1994 and the current one, which started in 2009.

Because the Saudis join the army to get free guns and drift tanks/apcs/other vehicles, they have almost zero motivation to actually do army stuff, they've got fuck all for experience in comparison to the Yemenis who have been in a constant state of war for the last forever. A guy with absurd amounts of experience is going to waylay the asshole who doesn't have any and thinks his shiny rifle is going to save him.

You fucking idiot, do you think caliber automatically translates to power? And are you seriously saying that a WW2-era Russian pistol cartridge that is even weaker than a 9mm Luger makes 5.56 NATO look "wussy"?
Do you think that real life is like first person shooters, where pistols are more powerful than rifles because they have to balance the game?
Yeah, and the English used the longbow to great effect at Agincourt. That doesn't mean it's a good choice for modern infantry combat.
