The Su-75, if it even gets made into a real plane, will be a glorified 4.5 gen at best.

The Su-75 was 20 years too late when it was announced, let alone how long it'll be when it will enter service. Sukhoi's last dying breath.

If you're just gonna be driving around African scrubland doing battle with poachers or the odd nigger militia/Pringles Pirates just a plain truck with a gun seems like it'd do the trick just fine when you consider the size of their military budget. Sure you could go in there with a Bradley and be basically invincible to anything within 500km, but "Toyota Truck with turret" is something cheap and easy to maintain when you're working out of literal African scrap heap garages with a military budget that's like what the US spends just on toilet paper for marines to eat as a side dish with their crayons.

Not really. The AIM-9 Sidewinder worked fine at high altitude (See 2nd Taiwan Strait Crisis) but at low altittudes over the damn jungle? Way too much background heat.

However, for a long range head to head engagement, the F-4 favored the radar guided AIM-7 Sparrow.

Post your unpopular opinions or whatever grinds your gears that is either weapons or war related. I'll start:

>WWII era US infantry TTP's>modern era US infantry TTP's, squads should have designated scouts running small patrols in front of the squad formation, the idea of fireteams following in travelling overwatch or bounding the whole way is stupid and gay
>Rhodesian and South African shit being popular is only based if your take on it is because their infantry were incredibly good, their overall strategy for fighting insurgencies were very good and that they were white fighting to have their own countries in Africa against the hordes, none of that "their camo is cool and so are their shorts, isn't that funny? lmao" type shit
>there is no reason to replace 5.56, shooting at anything beyond 300-400 meters is for the mortars, artillery, snipers and tanks. Having a "do all" caliber is gay and defeats the whole point of combined arms
>hi points and PSA rifles are great for an American insurgency because they're cheap and you can ditch them if you have to, like how an actual insurgency fights inna real war. You don't want any expensive shit on your rifle because you have to be willing to ditch it
>magdumping around corners and frag grenades will always be superior to SOF fluid dynamic high speed low drag shit
>plates are nice to have but are not necessary and can be very detrimental if you have to move around a lot, if armor is needed, then you're better off with lvl 3A vests for frag protection while still staying light

what does the platoon sergeant do in combat deployments? what's his role and tasks?
33 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>61484276
In our doctrine (insert tank force of a smaller european nation here) the platoon sergeant is the "mother of the platoon", basically he is responsible for (communcating up) any supply or maintenance needs of the platoon. He is also responsible for preperation of defensive positions or the base for the platoon, i.e. where does the tent go and where are fighting positions located the need be. The platoon leader only then checks that these are done correctly and may dictate some improvements or changes the need be.
Platoon sergeant is also responsible for all of the platoon's equipment and it's his job to make sure nothing is left behind.
In combat he commands one half of the tank platoon.

>Platoon leader tells NCOs what needs to be done

>>61498066
PL tells PS what needs to get done on their (officer tasks) and coordinates with the tasks the PS needs to have accomplished, then the PS tells the SL what the tasks are, orders coming down follow your direct chain of command, and the PL is still learning how to lead and all that jazz while working with the PS who probably has more than a decade of service more than them to provide experience

>>61500908
The PSG is the leader in all but name. The LT is in probation/on the job training for his real first officer job as a captain.
In theory NCOs could lead up through company level, arguably battalion level; but then they'd be wizened 90yo men by the time they ascended up the ranks to generals. Tactical and operational level are legitimately different skillsets. So is strategic level. So you have to fasttrack some guys by starting them at operational level.

>The Finnish Air Force's F/A-18 #Hornet aircraft HN-401 flew its final flight today 26.4.2024. #HN401 was displayed at the Finnish Air Force Commander's media event at the Satakunta Air Wing in Pirkkala. Following the event, the Commander flew the fighter jet to Halli, Jämsä.

>HN-401 is a fleet leader, meaning it’s been flown more than other F/A-18s during its 27+ years of service, and it’s been selected for flight missions more frequently than average, particularly those missions known to put the aircraft structure under the most strain.

>The F/A-18 fleet will be retired as planned during the transition period at the turn of the 2020s and 2030s, with the F-35 system replacing the capability of the Finnish Air Force's F/A-18 fleet between 2025 and 2030.

Afaik they were never sold outside the US, and we only got 2000 or so of them.
