Those already exist. But there isn’t a machine yet that can replace infantry, which is why some of scariest technologies coming up are the smart fire control systems on infantry rifles.

Soldiers identify the targets they want to hit, get their rifle in position, aim, but the gun fires itself when it’s calculated it’s best chance of hitting the target.

This post is already too credible, so what the fuck, I might as well continue to dishonor it’s noncredibility even further.

You can’t really compare a modern major Arab army, to a western army. They serve different functions.

Major Arab armies, at least contemporary ones, are designed to primarily preserve the internal social order and hierarchy. They’re internal security forces, with war planes and tanks.

Which presents another problem, coup d’etats. You can’t risk your command staff aligning against your ruling class, or monarch, so they should not trained, or inclined, to cooperate too much. So you put rivals in charge a different branches, and make sure to purge anyone you cannot trust to preserve the status quo, above all else.

This also means small unit leadership and tactics are antithetical to the purpose of their military.

To be clear, I’m not talking about Arab militant groups or militias, and this is definitely not a function of race. It’s function of the types of political systems you currently find in much of, but certainly not all, of the Arab world.

They will be tried in Ukrainian courts I imagine.

I can’t envision the Hague actually prosecuting, convicting, and jailing, any Russians. Just as I can’t see them doing that to Americans.

I could be wrong, Russia’s position has certainly weakened enough for it to be possible, but until that dam is broken, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Ukraine on the other hand, that’s an entirely different story. They’ve already been prosecuting war criminals in their own courts. Which is problematic in its own right, but if the Hague isn’t a viable possibility yet, what other options do they have?

Are these used to extend the range of munition carrying/suicide FPV drones?

What’s their flight time with those repeater/antenna payloads?

Do they have plentiful stocks of ATCMS now? Or was that a highly specialized ($$$) group of soldiers training?

Maybe it’s the grainy video, but it looks like dirt mounds, portable trailers, some light vehicles, and maybe 10-20 soldiers?

I don’t watch his releases every week anymore, so does anyone know if he’s announced that he quit his day job?

I found his channel after his first Russo-Ukraine war video was a day old, and JFC how has he kept up releasing an hour-long PowerPoint a week ever since?

I know he was late once or twice, but holy shit, that is an insane work ethic. I hope he doesn’t burn out because videos are still grade A+.

Bridges are still functional with giant holes blown in the deck. Maybe capacity is reduced, or it needs patchwork, but still functional.

That is why they’re typically targeted with large bombs, or missiles. Even then, might take a while.

If this wasn’t a hot war, it’s possible a covert demolition team could rig enough explosives at the right structural points, but trying that now is a great way to lose a bunch a SOF teams.

Here’s a somewhat relevant parable about how hard it can be to destroy a bridge during war.

Since when do both parties have to agree there at war, for it to be a war?

McVeigh and his fellow militiamen, or conspirators, felt they were at war with US government.

I’m sure there’s countless people living throughout the Horn of Africa, who feel they are at war with the US government, while the US government would deny that wholeheartedly.

Does that mean any of their pickup trucks with M2 Browning’s mounted in the bed, are not actually technicals?

A golf cart with an expended LAW tube, welded to the back, and used to launch as many motars as it can before one blows inside and kills it’s operator, is a technical.

Any motorized civilian vehicle augmented to kill shit in war is a technical. Except maybe VBIED’s, that I’m not sure about.

Which means that’s the question you should be asking: was a technical used in Oklahoma City bombing?

Nah bro, if we had just stuck it out a little longer…

Putting aside the human misery and epic failure of Operation Rolling Thunder, someone should probably send him a basic Game Theory video to help him understand the difference between finite and infinite games, and then see if he can connect the dots.

No, it won’t.

You’re clearly uninformed on the power of Operator Prayer, or Tactical Theology, and the role it plays on the modern battlefield.

With sufficient levels of belief, that bullet can achieve anything. Just remember, if you believe, your bullet can achieve.
