    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    The Army’s acquisition of longer-ranged fires seems to indicate to me more focus on the Pacific theater, due to the tyranny of distance between the islands. US Army can provide LR fires, alongside Patriot PAC-3 MSE missile defense of key installations, which has already demonstrated capability...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    As to Russian A2AD, F-35s have been flying over late-model S-300 & S-400 IADS networks as if they own the place, including in Syria, Iran, and other places. We’ve been acquiring Russian SAMs and Radars since the early 1970s and doing technical and tactical exploitation on them. In fact, we...

    India vs Pakistan

    If I was China, it’s exactly what I would have done, because I know that nobody would call me out on it or could prove it.

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    Armor and scheduled-for-de-milling US Army Long Range Fires aren’t anywhere close to primary US combat power elements. If we’re not talking about USAF, USN, and USMC tactical air assets, then we’re not having a conversation about the primary US force structure. Anything in US Army inventory is...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    The difference is we occupied Berlin 1 year and 7 months later, after sweeping Germany out of North Africa. Our North African campaign lasted from Nov 8, 1942, to May 13, 1943. Pretty swift, brutal, and decisive. Russia hasn’t demonstrated anything like that over the past 3 years. It has...

    India vs Pakistan

    Neither side wants to tick off the US, but we also have to be aware of Chinese and Russian interference. Remember Yuri Bezmenov? He was stationed in India by the KGB as part of their ideological warfare efforts there. Indian media has been infiltrated and shaped by Russian IO for generations...

    India vs Pakistan

    Wall Street guys are painfully-ignorant about modern aerospace systems, but some invest in being briefed from a financial standpoint on where to buy and sell stocks. They have no way of vetting the information themselves because they aren’t technically-savvy, and have no real reps in studying...

    13.7 INCH VS 14.5INCH AR RANGE AND BALLISTICS

    It’s within the terrible wide ES range of 5.56, so not in practice. It’s pole-vaulting over mouse turds when discussing 5.56 barrel length. 20” gets blown way out of proportion too. There’s only so much you can do to a 55-77gr bullet with 22-24gr of powder, stacked in a tall propellant column...

    India vs Pakistan

    It also helps to have the most connected river network in the world, in a temperate zone, with tons of deep sea ports across 4 major coastlines, vast resources in minerals, agriculture, and farmland, with no regional military threats. There simply is no geographic peer to the US.

    India vs Pakistan

    This is another great example where the quality of information sources is exposed. There are no dogfights anymore, and haven’t been for at least 30 years even with 4th Gen fighters. In this dust-up, apparently none of the fighters crossed the border, meaning the weapons reach of both...

    India vs Pakistan

    Even with the technology we had in the 1980s, we would not have fought the Iraq-Iran War like that. Neither side had any D/SEAD capability to speak of, let alone matured electronic order of battle collection and exploitation capes. Neither side had US cruise missiles, decoy missiles...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    None of our front-line capabilities have been employed in Ukraine. What I’m talking about is how small their United Aircraft Corporation is with its final assembly and check (FACO) facility in Eastern Siberia. Under Putin, they combined Mikoyan Gurevich, Sukhoi, Ilyushin, Tupolev, Irkut, and...

    India vs Pakistan

    Pakistan has Chinese missile defense systems, which India has targeted and apparently hit. India has Russian S-400, its own Theater Ballistic Missile Defense system, layers of SAMs that included joint Indian-Israeli systems. Both nations have AWACS. Both have a lot of tactical fighters of...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    Russia has deteriorated significantly in its military industrial capacity. They always cranked out low airframe life trash, but now their fighter-manufacturing has been consolidated into a tiny building in Eastern Russia much closer to Japan than it is to Moscow. They are a shell of their...

    India vs Pakistan

    US Infantry have no mission set in China. Maybe SOF elements securing airfields in Pacific and some dismounts pulling perimeter security for Air Defense units. USAF and USMC already do that organically within AD units though. Air power is where it’s at, and modern tactical combat aircraft are...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Some countries we bomb into a new technological era, actually elevating them.

    India vs Pakistan

    Rafales are the most advanced fighters India has. They looked at the price and believed the French hype, and ordered billions worth of them. As I anticipated, primitive minds with shiny new sticks thought they could bring them to the fight, and learned the hard way the tyranny of technology...

    India vs Pakistan

    Debris from brand new Indian Air Force Rafale made in France: Unit program cost on India’s Rafales was $241 million. Let that sink in a bit. Israelis sold their TDP and other program data from their Lavi fighter from way back in the 1980s, which China used to develop and produce the J-10A...

    India vs Pakistan

    I’ve been telling Rafale and Euro fanbois for years that they’re selling obsolete fighters for 3x the price of F-35As, and they don’t believe me. Most people think Rafales are cheaper than F-35s, because of all the retard corporate media and their pathetic reporting on anything technical...

    India vs Pakistan

    Now is another point where the world gets to watch the fact that dirty Pakis and Indians are better-equipped than Russia and Ukraine with weapons that actually matter, not silly things like artillery and armor that dominate the “primitive” minds of ground force-centric thinkers. When you have...
