Why do they give riot cops like these guys such flimsy shields?
>>64295779It happened all the time in Northern Ireland
>>64295762Probably suppress the shooter with flashbangs and tear gas while other officers draw their sidearms. Maybe an officer with a riot gun will hit him with a few beanbags before switching to buckshot. The bigger problem is that the shooter is going to start a panic and a lot of rioters are going to get trampled trying to flee an ensuing gunfight. No matter what the cops do, people gunna die.
>>64294841The other thing that people haven't really mentioned so far is better visibility. A coordinating officer behind the line has an easier time judging what's happening and where when the shields are transparent like that.Theoretically at least it's probably better for the protesters too. Seeing the people on the other side of the line and anything being currently done behind it is probably better for tensions than just a black wall of shields that CS grenades or rubber bullets occasionally jumpscare them from. Especially in this case where the NG aren't exactly there because they think they need to be, so there's probably at least a little more sympathy than usual.
>>64294985>Flimsy shields for flimsy protests.That broke out into a riot.
>>64294917Hose before bros.
War is too deadly now and front line infantry is a death sentence. Maneuver is broken down. For infantry, the ideal situation is to reach a position as fast as possible and crawl into a hole so you can't be seen or hit by indirect fire or drone. And in this hole, the last thing you'll want to do is engage the enemy because it'll give away your position. When there's an enemy nearby, you just stay in your hole and hope a drone picks them off. You're there to just die and not do anything, and not even hold the front line.

>>64297077>>64287897the real lesson from Ukraine (and from Nagorno-Karabakh) is that air superiority is the only thing that matters.The Ukraine is the way it is because neither side has air superiorityAzerbaijan won Nagorno-Karabakh because the Turks provided them with Air superiorityIn the Ukraine war, drones aren't really stopping either side from going on the offensive, what is stopping them is old fashioned tube artillery and minefields. You need air superiority to be able to suppress the tube artillery while you deal with the mine fields. Without air superiority, you can't build up the mass you need to go on the offensive in the rear, because it gets bombed/shot up by artillery, and you can't clear a path through the mine field, because you get bombed and shot up by artillery.Drones are helpful for maintaining a stalemate while both sides are unable to conduct a strategic offensive, but they are not the reason they can't conduct a strategic offensive.
>>64297162Drones provide valuable spotting for said artillery
>>64287805near peer conflicts were always deadly
>>64297307Are you claiming that direct warfare has not become more deadly over time

What is the point of MARSOC when you already have The Navy Seals? Is this just the Marines being gay?
>>64295131They board pirate ships and blow them up in the Middle East and Africa.
>>64282611Is that an AUG
>>64281936There isn’t one. The Marines got extremely buttmad they couldn't do shit when we first invaded Afghanistan and the Army got all the good press. They made up for it with Fallujah and Helmand.
>>64282372> United States> not actually unitedsigh...
>>64281936MARSOC was created to make use of Marine FORECON resources for SOCOM. The only reason why because Marines didn't want FORECON to be under DOD's SOCOM. A lot of bullshit happened to make shit happen. DOD got their Marine resources.The Marines still got to keep their SF. Now you have another acronym that does the same job because of internal politics. This isn't a secret, it's all publicized.
Congratulations /k/, you're not in Kansas anymore. You've just been assigned to take part in a Special Military Operation to liberate the Land of Oz from the oppression of the Wicked Witch of the West and rescue Judy Garland before the drugs and alcohol ruin her. Your enemy includes, but is not limited to, her army of flying monkeys and green-skinned not-witch goons. The Witches of the North and South and Oz won't be helping you, but you can recruit the Munchkins as indigenous allies.You may bring any infantry kit from any era you want, from the Spartans of 300 to the Spartans of Halo, but no form of motorized or wheeled transport. Horses may be permitted depending on the kit.What are you bringing?

So whats yhe point of it?
>>64290963missile trucks and sensor platforms, basically does everything except the decision making process. Pilot in the manned fighter that hangs out behind these guys will use the SA afforded by the datalinked sensors to engage targets via the drones, acting like a mini AWACS
>>64290876Money
>>64290876Missile truck for 5th gen penetrating into Chinese AA WEZ?>this I don't know anything about it except the image
>>64290963More so, its likely drones will use human pilot as human interceptor rather than human guider. Drones can seek targets automatically, launch missiles/guns/bombs/etc automatically. They're not just going to be dumb robots that need human guidance but rather human is input as a last measure to stop the drones from doing what its capable of. In case there's false positives.

K9's are still useful for their noses. Thats about it. And that is an incredibly useful skill. i am against using them in apprehension/combat purposes in any way. Its simply unnecesary.

Would the Air Force have really shot down those planes if their response hadn't been so completely half-assed?
>>64251861Of course. Ramming isn't difficult either (strike target with wingtip then eject). >>64257496There's no practical way to hide fatal missile or cannon damage unless the aircraft wreckage is completely burned and even then engine cores remain including any projectiles or holes they made. When people who don't work on an aircraft see wreckage they do not see it as the many discrete pieces which comprise it including serially controlled components whose trails are usually very long. 16s returning with partially empty 20mm drums and/or minus a missile would be obvious to everyone on/near the flightline starting with the tower and EOR crew. The crew chief and fire guard on their spot would know along with everyone in the Alert shack, Weapons troops and many more. My base (SW) was in the middle of an exercise which was super convenient since we were already on twelves. Training muns downloaded, lives uploaded + usual postflight and all three squadrons were ready to roll. Too bad there was nothing left to kill.
>>64264823Seems to WHO? Why would a combat pilot think like trifling girlish you?>>64264951>that was the popular belief by pilots etcPopularity is not empiric evidence.Permitting oneself to believe anything one is not prepared to prove under penalty for perjury is degenerate.
>>64296209WHAT blast? No need to spear a jet to take it down when you can strike your surface of choice with a wingtip (and it's empty missile rail). Remember aircraft can closely match each others speed (the reason aerial refueling works) and the faster bird has the advantage. >>64296252I've done many ground engine runs in burner (Pratts and GE, with and without F-16 attached) and the short answer is "forget it". The airliner would have to deliberately not avoid such attacks and cockpit windscreens are respectably tough. BTW not all midairs are fatal to all concerned. Fighters have RTB missing impressive hunks of control surfaces. 16s being small I'd not expect one to survive ramming but ramming and getting clear enough to eject when your fat slow target can't even see you coming would be a reasonable risk. The thing NOT to snap off an F-16 is the radome/nose area since you lose your pitot and AOA sensors. The Pope AFB Green Ramp crash is a nasty example (glad I was on leave for that one since I was a Flying Tiger motor troop). OTOH larger birds like Phantom could lose a radome to a midair and still get home. Two F-4s played tag while I was at Moody with the wingman's nose striking his leads horizontal stab. The wingman shut down one engine due to FOD but the other J-79 got him back. The leads smashed stab was even less an impediment. An Israeli F-15 is famous for losing a wing and getting home.
>>64251861Most of the jets that were scrambled were unarmed. The first ones to take off were all national guard and were waiting for orders to ram the hijacked planes.
>>64264980Different missile for different ranges.
