Intel Dump / Re: Whats on Your Table?

Can I ask what size table you can "get away with"? I have a 35" x 50" area with 60" if absolutely necessary

Mine is 63" x 31.5".

It's this table here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR3NXTKK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Well I guess we need better defenses against drones.

the continual cycle of evolution of tank warfare - some specific anti-tank weapon followed by an adaptation to nullify it followed by some specific anti-tank weapon followed by an adaptation to nullify it

I wonder if we could mount a Phalanx on a tank?

Or Stingers.
