Ask anything Thread

Did anybody ever manage to download the audio or transcript of patchwork's interview before it got taken down?

Apparently someone here did (don't ask me, I didn't). However, for obvious reasons, they probably won't share it. After all, the dude is still here (albeit in a greatly reduced capacity), and we don't want to lose him to the alphabet soup for real over the not-so-recent intel community freak out (lol Discord).

At least the gist of the podcast is still somewhere in this forum.

Very stupid question everyone claims that j-20 delta configuration is "less stealthy" I'm that stupid to ask does anyone know what material the conards are made from ? Or at least any speculation on the topic cause I'm reading more and more papers from china about RCS reduction via composites and im starting to think that most of the people in the wild are wrong about the j-20 RCS in general

There are like 5 J-20 streams that talked about this to death, read one of them.

the death toll is now 93 after the wildfires in Hawaii. how did the wildfire spread so quickly and where were the national guard and USarmy?

it just feels so weird. during national disasters in China such as the wildfire in Chongqing and the floods this year and 2021 the PLA would always be there to assist in disaster relief.

Any updates on the rumours about Metholox sterling engine designed for SSK?

Yeah, too bad Maui is not in Ukraine
Maybe the governor can blame the wildfires on China or Russia, then DC will listen

So has anyone here watched Oppenheimer? I did and thought it was great. One thing that I'm not 100% sure on is if they A bond were survivor design ed for nazi Germany. In the movie it was implied so and that Japan was just luck of the draw last moment decision thing because Hitler surrendered/died b4 testing.
While it may be true that Germany was the intended target I like to think Japan was always in the crosshairs as well.
I dont think it was a sudden last minute decision as the movie implied.
Anyway just a academic thought out loud if you will... what happened has happened.

We have a movie thread that a few members have expressed their review of Oppenheimer.

Movies in General

I can't wait to see this film: Napoleon. Although Joaquin Phoenix is a bit tall to be playing Napoleon but he is a good actor. :) Hmm...I am not sure if this movie is going to be good based on the preliminary analysis by this fella from HistoryLegends Youtube channel take on this movie...

anyone know where some newspapers get their info on the PLA from? A few weeks ago I read an article in the Asia Times that said the USN had 10000 VLS and the PLAN had only 1000. I mean the 8 055 destroyers add up to 900 by themselves. where did they get this info from. Stuff like this makes my blood boil.

The Strategic Fool You Agency has to do something right? How else are they going to get paid?
