Keep in mind how well the Gulf of America faired.

It was the American Colonies before the States - so “of America” isn’t a secondary afterthought. Initial it was THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , as a union of individual states- after the civil war it generally became THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - singular with Federal supremacy...

Sort of want them to work against all the required threats. Which they don’t. There are still Stingers. The supply is not exhausted. But you are touting concepts that do not work against the threat requirements. Sure it’s great to be cheap, but if you can only engage 1 of the 4...

You are missing the major pieces of MDTF’s and the Higher Level MD aspects if you focus around a missile Many able, few willing Realistically one could organize the CA Reg and PRes into more than one Corps — which means Army Group in terms of formation But if you aren’t using it as...

Beg to differ

There is not currently the capability to do that much LPI Data The Infantry soldier carries anywhere from 75-145lbs on their body depending on country and role. Carrying more stuff is getting to be a non starter. I put to you that a USMC Squad could be given something like a Switchblade...

No loss, the world is a better place without him. I would argue that CTV is however incorrect, as the worst massacre in Europe since WW2 is still occurring in Ukraine, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is the leader of that. The world would also be a much better place with out VVP

The unspoken aspect of this is that for some reason, it is apparently the American military that needs to provide Missile Defense for Europe? -- Don’t get me wrong, I think the war in Iran is being horribly prosecuted. I am also super confused by the excessively high rate of Anti Ballistic...

I think you miss that Artillery (Cannon or Rocket) needs to be setback from the Forward Edge (and I don’t know if we call it the FEBA or Forward Edge of Sensor Dominance, or Edge of the A2AD or...) So your 155mm with 100km range probably have 60km of stuff past the Forward Edge Also it is...

I would say that even prior to Yevgeny Prigozhin’s demise, that Vladimir Putin had gambled that by outing Wagner (and the incredibly convoluted network of crisscrossed business networks) as part and parcel of the GRU, that the west would do nothing. The book I mentioned elsewhere (Putin’s...

Biggest issues for the Marine environment is supply and support. Unlike the other terrain you mention above, a BN has no integral assets to resupply over water. As well unless you get big into the man made island game, you can’t just sit down HIMARS systems all over the ocean to provide...

Unfortunately there are a number of people in a lot of NATO countries that are unwilling to accept this, either due to a general lack of understand of Putin and Russia under Putin -- or have been led to false conclusions by Russian state sponsored disinformation (and now Iranian, Chinese and...

To me anything a rifleman carries should be optimized for the close fight. With things like NLOS MAPAT missiles, the distinction of what is close starts to get blurred. I tend to believe it is better to have things with with ranges +10km at a function higher than an Armor or Infantry (or...

I would say that Russia has actively been at war with the West for some time. One of the latest. Explosive drone at German airport linked to Russian military intelligence, US intel source says Going back 12 years, it is an open secret that the GRU blew up the weapons depot in Vrbětice Czechia...

Well no one should be shocked here. https://abcnews.com/International/leipzig-airport-drone-linked-russian-military-intelligence-us/story?id=135945223

https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7321847 Some thought down here is that Canada took issue with some of the language on external trade deals wrt strategic minerals and foreign ownership. Best guess is that it was perhaps a clumsy way to say we can’t have China involved in some things...

The USMC Squad has been in a near constant state of flux for the past decade. It is already very large, and has been shift back and forth from 13-17 Marines. I do not see the logic in pushing a 20km system down below the Company Wpns Platoon. In an extremely dispersed environment, one...

TBH the dash/instrument panel on the Patria is clearly purpose built. One suspects that shortly it will become practical for Roshel to go that route as well / mainly to be able to incorporate various features on the displays there, and not have a lot of clunky crap in the center. The...

Imagine my surprise…

Idiocracy: the unfortunate documentary
