>>445117> ok, well to me it seems pretty obvious that the real temperature should then be able to exceed 50, outside the shadowWhoever puts his thermometer in the sun and reports the measured temperature that way is just retarded. I'm sure this wasn't the case cause the measured temperature would be even higher than 60°C. But this doesn't matter since the air temperature would still only be 49.9°C, and that's what people talk about when they discussing the weather. I can't believe i even have to explain this to someone on /out/, i learned that in basic school when i was 7.
> alright what about unnormal circumstance, maybe there is 5 degrees more. Why is this impossible?Normal circumstances as in the regular climate, not the exact extreme circumstances the record was set in, as in the definition of a record. Unless it was actually the Spec Ops measuring the world record you would have a point here.
About the rest of your post; It is plausible that somewhere in Afghanistan it has been warmer, and it went unnoticed or was not officially measured, but it wouldn't be by much, maybe a few °C. Maybe to you it is but measuring temperature isn't exactly rocket science, and even in Afghanistan they survey data on a regular basis in different location for climate mapping etc
Just admit that they operating above 45°C is extremely unlikely, and that the mentioned 60°C is ridiculously exaggerated.
> "Tom Bakkeli"Even top scientists and presidents make ridiculous claims sometimes. It's not because somebody has a certain credibility you should take his word for fact, that's a very dangerous attitude you have there.
>>443749> Also, modern mythology thanks to vidya, Hollywood, and Tom ClancyI guessed a lot of people in threads like this are a bit oblivious towards "Spec Ops" realism. But wanting to believe it so bad and defending made up numbers with such dumb arguments really astonishes me
