I don't see any difference between 2S35 and PLZ-05. Except the PLZ-05 is 10 years older and 100s were produced vs only 12 for 2S35.

It is about rate of fire. The 2S35 has a higher rate of fire than basically any other artillery system currently out there.
You have to remember to achieve that kind of rate of fire the Russians initially wanted to use a double barrel system. But then they figured out a way to get a similar rate of fire with just one gun barrel.

It uses microwave ignition with its own special propellant. It also uses some kind of proprietary barrel cooling system.

You understand that the US Fed raised interest rates that year (due to high inflatio), which caused the US dollar to appreciate against the Yuan, right? Multiple other currencies also loss value compared to the USD, like the Malaysian Ringgit, Japanese Yen, Vietnamese Dong, etc

I hope most people on this forum know that nominal GDP measured in USD is impacted by exchange rates...

Bingo!

You're expecting too much from the retards.

We're all regarded.

Thermochemical ignition is the next step in igniting propellants but it is highly experimental. A water cooled barrel will also be extremely costly to machine the coolant channels. Water channel machining increases cost like 2x relative to baseline.

It is basically an artisinal weapon.

With the result some polls have shown, it might not represent all Jewish people but it does seem the majority of Jewish people agree with Zionism and genocide.

Which polls are those? It's the Israeli Jews only who are majority proponents of genocide. World Jews are different.

From what I've seen, the Jewish folk in academic circles around the world are usually anti-Zionism, including some notable Israelis themselves (i.e. Ilan Pappe, Judah Magnes, Gideon Levy, Avi Shlaim, etc.).

It seems that the academic study of Zionism and Israel eventually brings one to the realization that the concept is inherently flawed. In fact, there is a growing movement called New Historians which is composed of Israeli academics challenging Zionism and Israel itself.

It should be noted that there are two Zionisms:

1. the political, founded by Theodor Herzl in the 19th century which is what modern Israel is based on (widely opposed by most Jews of the time), and;
2. the religious, based on religious texts that all Jews believe in, in which either their prophesied Messiah will bring them to the Holy Land or a totally spiritual return (<< that is also why most Jews refuse to migrate to Israel).

Do the polls make a distinction between these two?

Even if it cost twice to make a barrel for it the weapon can fire at twice the fire rate.
You already have to rifle the barrel. So yes the liquid cooling will likely add to the cost but the question is it worth it or not?
I think it is because with twice the fire rate you need half the SPGs to deliver the same amount of ammo on target.

The Koalitsiya is also a fully robotic unit. It does not use a human loader. It can be fired remotely. You can have a single gunner controlling several SPGs in a battery. If you wanted to you could have a driver per vehicle, and a single gunner for a battery.

Typically it uses three crew per vehicle, commander/driver/gunner, but it can operate with less.
Compare that with other artillery systems which use five or four crew per vehicle. Because they need human loaders.

It's extremely funny to witness how much control Israel has over US.
It's honestly insane. I can't think of another country which bend itself backwards by compromising its own interests for the sake of a foreign country

Jeffery Epstein. When you have all the juicy dirt on the majority of the political / elite class, you'd be amazed at what you can accomplish.

So they are against zionism, but will never the less support zionism in action... Presumably because the zionists are like people close to them, so they defend them. They would jump up and down about anti-semitism, to draw attention away from genocide, but do anything about the crimes of zionists. Their action led to enabling zionists, even if zionism is not their core motivation.

American Jews are the enabler of Israel, but not the only one. Remember radical zionism exists before Israel. What led to creation of Israel must preexist before Israel itself. And that entity that led to Israel still exists, outside Israel. So I disagree, zionism is not primarily an Israeli Jewish problem. Israel is the body, but not the soul. If Israel does not exist, you can bet American Jews will do all they could to make Israel from scratch.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Will probably watch this, even if it will be a bit froggy.

Interesting that such a movie would be made about this and how they intend to use the Hollywood formula to create either an unrealistic happy ending or some kind of ending that will demonize China. Still none of this will matter because how China will take back Taiwan is ultimately up to China alone (Taiwan can dream about it if they like) and I am pretty sure China has already game-planned this for a long time to minimize loses and maximize gain in the shortest period of time. Nothing the west says or does will change it and considering their current failures in Ukraine and Israel, it’s almost impossible to believe they can make any kind of a difference except paint a bullseye on who’s going to get it next.

It's because of RELIGION: RAPTURE EVERYONE!!

Would you say that china has a larger economy than the US?? By many metrics china does seem to have a larger economy

Metric is the key. In nominal term, China's manufacturing sector (production of any physical goods) is already 3.9 times of US.

but nominal GDP of the US has increased like $6 trillion in the past 2 years.

Don't know where you get the data. Here is something I find from U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

GDP for 2023

Real GDP increased 2.5 percent in 2023 (from the 2022 annual level to the 2023 annual level), compared with an increase of 1.9 percent in 2022 (table 1). The increase in real GDP in 2023 primarily reflected increases in consumer spending, nonresidential fixed investment, state and local government spending, exports, and federal government spending that were partly offset by decreases in residential fixed investment and private inventory investment. Imports decreased (table 2).

Current-dollar GDP increased 6.3 percent, or $1.61 trillion, in 2023 to a level of $27.36 trillion, compared with an increase of 9.1 percent, or $2.15 trillion, in 2022 (tables 1 and 3).

See the red texts. That is current dollar GDP which includes inflations meaning it is lower than real GDP. It was 1.61 trillion in 2023 and 2.15 trillion in 2022, at the dolloar value at their respecitive ending date of data collection. It is total 3.76 trillion.

U.S. inflation is 2022 was 8%, 2023 was 4.1%. If I am right, that will lead to 1.978 trillion increase in real GDP of 2022 and 1.5456 trillion in 2023 (only counting inflation from 2022 to 2023). The real GDP increase would be somewhere below 3.52 trillion if 2023 increase considers 2022 inflation as well since we are talking about two year increase here. It is almost half of 6 trillion.

You can see that economic analysis is truelly a science and math on the one hand if you take into all parameters and contexts, but can be a trickery by some people for various purposes.
