      Gun Review: Meridian Defense MDC-47 Volk AK Rifle

      Tactical-Life posted a topic in Weapons - Guns, Ammo & Knifes - All Weapons,

      In the world of guns, the AK-47 has always been the equivalent of “sensible shoes.” While not bedazzled with the latest accoutrements that its AR neighbor enjoys, it has proven itself to be a dependable firearm in pretty much every corner of the world. Its reputation as a reliable weapon is legendary. For all intents and purposes, the gun has gone along with very few real upgrades outside of what a few hardcore users have done. Essentially, the belief in this particular corner of the gun world is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
      While this is a sound principle in most cases, the venerable AK can indeed stand for some improvements. This thought has been shared by many AK aficionados, but one company in particular has put this classic gun under the knife to produce a truly fantastic rifle. Say hello to Meridian Defense Corp. (MDC) and its MDC-47 Volk.

    • US Tanks In Europe Get Invisible Futuristic Missile Shield To Counter Russian Threat

      US Tanks In Europe Get Invisible Futuristic Missile Shield To Counter Russian Threat

      News Feeds posted a topic in Militia News - Live Feeds From Around The World,

      Back in March, we detailed how the United States Army M1 Abrams tank, an American third-generation main battle tank, was in the process of being upgraded with an invisible missile shield that will destroy all chemical energy anti-tank threats and other threats before reaching the vehicle. We even said, “that Washington is preparing their main battle tank for the next evolution of hybrid wars.”

      Known as Trophy, this is the world’s first and only fully operational Active Protection System and Hostile Fire Detection System for armored vehicles. This cutting-edge technology will provide M1 Abrams tanks with 360-degree security from all threats, as advanced algorithms are continually detecting, locating, and neutralizing anti-tank threats on the battlefield.
      We even noted that the Trophy system was tested thoroughly on select M1A2 tanks in Europe and the Middle East. With much of the testing classified, there were still several unanswered questions surrounding what region(s) of the world the upgrades would go.
      However, in a new report on Thursday, the United States Army has decided to deploy the missile shields for M1 Abrams tanks to Europe “as part of a sweeping effort to better arm its Armored Brigade Combat Teams and counter Russian threats in the region,” said Warrior Maven, as quoted by Fox News. 
      The Trophy system employs advanced algorithms that use radar to provide continuous 360-degree protection. The bolt on kit includes four antennas and two rotating launchers mounted on the turret of each tank (see below).

      Once the threat is discovered, the algorithm classifies the threat, and if a direct hit is calculated, the countermeasure systems are automatically activated, and a tight pattern of explosively shaped penetrators launches at the warhead to neutralize the threat (as shown below).

      Rafael Advanced Defense Systems says the Trophy system has been thoroughly suggests — a major conflict could soon be on the horizon.

      READ ME - ROLL CALL - NOW OR NEVER!

      fixer posted a topic in Website Information, Suggestions and Feedback,

      We have a roll call thread in each state , when you do not post people see it as inactive! We are trying to push people to your state units but if you don't post they have a false sense of inactivity! Often times one person looks and says inactive then 2 days later another person looks and says inactive , both of them leave!

      ***YOU HAVE TO POST OR THIS SITE WILL DIE!***

      Plain and simple, We can not put it any clearer than that! GO NOW AND POST...

      Found Here: https://www.mymilitia.com/militia-network-map/

      THE MILITIA NETWORK MAP

      This 100% custom programed interactive map is fully responsive for all devices. It took us over a month to build, the color coding signifies the original regions we set when we first built the site as we were not separated in a per-state basis at that time. We left the regions color coded on this map as we can see the importance of establishing regions in the future. When clicking on your state you will be forwarded to the state network forum on the site. If you have a unit you want to add to the network we ask that you..

      START A THREAD IN YOUR STATE

      If you are researching units you can post any questions or comments on these threads, post in the state role-call thread or even start a new thread in your state. We encourage your activity never be afraid of posting in the wrong area we have a well trained and respectful staff that will help you. We are all in this together.

    • Lockheed Martin Patents Nuclear Fusion-Powered Fighter Jet

      Lockheed Martin Patents Nuclear Fusion-Powered Fighter Jet

      News Feeds posted a topic in Militia News - Live Feeds From Around The World,

      Lockheed Martin has secretly been developing a game-changing compact nuclear fusion reactor that could potentially fit into a fighter jet. The Maryland-based defense contractor recently obtained a patent associated with its design for a fully compact fusion reactor, after filing for the patent in 2014.
      If the latest patent from the defense company serves as a benchmark, nuclear fusion technology could revolutionize the aeronautic industry and eventually begin the quantum leap from fossil fuels to compact fusion reactors for the industry.
      According to CBS Washington, the prototype system would be the size of a normal shipping container but capable of producing enough energy to power 80,000 residential homes or a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, sometime in the next year or so.
      The patent, tilted “Encapsulating Magnetic Fields for Plasma Confinement,” is dated Feb. 15, 2018. CBS indicates that Skunk Works, also known as Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs or its advanced R&D group, has reportedly been developing the compact fusion reactor since about 2014, with latest reports suggesting the technology could be ready for production by 2019.

      Nuclear fusion is the same process of what happens to hydrogen gas in the core of the Sun. Hydrogen gas gets squeezed into four hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium atom; thus, nuclear fusion is created.
      Lockheed said, “Our concept will mimic that process within a compact magnetic container and release energy in a controlled fashion to produce power we can use.” Here is how Lockheed describes nuclear fusion power:

      Lockheed indicates that the compact size of the reactor has induced a technology revolution, which instead of taking “five years to design and build a concept, it takes only a few months.”....
