What is known about them?
>>64709699They don't quit
>>64709699Apparently they kick ass.
>>64709699Early reports suggest they have already secured 4 Hollywood full features, 2 Netflix deals (one will be cancelled) and at least 11 different podcast series.
Why do you think it was the 160th and not Delta?
>>64709870106th SOAR is who flies Delta around to do their job.
>>64709870It was both, retard. One flies the choppers, the other rides in them.
>>64709870160th literally carries delta around, they're basically air delta.It was the 160th SOAR in Mogadishu delivering the sticks of rangers and the Delta teams to the hotal target building.160th SOAR pilots that got shot down making it become the "black hawk down" incident, Wolcott and Durant were 160th SOAR pilots.
>>64709870They're the rotary wing special forces with the training and equipment to facilitate the ground special forces. Delta's cool and all but they're walking to war if the 160th isn't there to give them a lift in and out.

The fact that they did this without any shaping operations (no SEAD) speaks poorly of the Venezuelan air defense network.
>>64709919>no SEAD
>>64709929That was SEAD? I though the choppers were just blowing shit up.
>>64709914based
I think they fly helicopters and junk
>>64709937source?
>>64709934The video shows an event that suspiciously looks like some AA missile system cooking off.
>>64709909The reason the Maduro Op worked and Hostomel failed was because the Maduro mission had a clear end goal that would either succeed or fail, then the troops would extract. The VDV successfully took Hostomel airport, but then they sat there, lost the element of surprise, got surrounded and killed.
>>64709699They care a lot.
I'll have to wait for armchair warlord to give me my opinion
How do we know it was delta? Wasn’t this a us navy operation?
>>64709957Navy F-35s doing the SEAD, most likely. Delta source is unconfirmed rumor at this time. If it was SEALs, we would be very fucking confirmed by now.
>>64709957Delta specializes in hostage rescue, VIP extraction, and CQB. The SEALs specialize in ship boarding operations and coastal raids. This mission fits Delta's training far more than it does the SEALs.

>>64709865That's DEVGRU
>>64709973>it ain't me starts playing
>>64709973So much for the death of the attack helicopter it seems
>>64709986>just fight incompetent enemies who are too stupid to use their AA, bro
>>64709973I counted 9 helos at the start. 7 were definitely chinooks. The first two looked like attack helos. Since chinooks carry 33-44 soldiers, that means this operation involved at least 231 infantry.
>>64709947This, the VDV were cooked when no relief force was going to arrive and no additional support was going to be flown in either. They seemed to be operating under the assumption that it'd form an airhead, but that requires clear enough air to actually fly shit in.And yeah like you said, based on what we've heard this was pretty textbook air mobile operation. Get in, do whatever you're there to do, get out before anybody has a chance to significantly mobilise against you.>>64709966The chopper choice also heavily suggests it was Army birds doing the ferrying, the USN and USMC don't fly any Chinook variant.
>>64709998The chinooks probably wouldn't be running full capacity. They're favoured for speed and range, but putting that many dudes in a single chopper over potentially hostile urban terrain is begging for trouble.
>>64709999Quads of uncomfortable truthRus-command fucked over the VDV boys bigly.
>>64710005How is that an uncomfortable truth?High command fucked over every unit involved in the invasion, if you think about itAlso that doesn't mean VDV can't also be incompetent separately of that, especially now that they're dead as fuck
>>64709699Did they build a replica of the presidential palace of Venezuela for training?
>>64709973Damn, I think I've read a Tom Clancy novel that's like this, except it was set in Kazakhstan.
>>64710105>training includes how to kidnap everyone from a girls-only high schoolbased?
>>64709699They like centaur chicks
>>64709699they stalk you at night and fly with their lights off
So, like, what now?
>>64710105I'm pretty sure they took him from a military base, which would only have simple buildings.
>>64710163Wait for agent orange to wake up and get dressed for his press conference.11 AM
>>64710163The Venezuelan vice president needs to consider Trump's next truthsocial request veeery carefully.
>>64710168That's in 4 hours. Also didn't Trump tweet about the capture at 6am Florida time? Seems like he's already up.
>>64710178Maybe he is taking a nap, he IS 80 years old
>>64710163China will attempt to kidnap Taiwan's president under three hours.
>>64710178Realistically probably just waiting for him to land in the US.
>>64710105Why did they make a replica of a girls' high school
>>64710182Old people are notorious for getting up early.
>>64710183God they should try. Just try. I dare them.
>>64710186The school's track field looks like a nice place to land helicopters. The two large fields to the right of the Presidential Office are parking lots.
>>64710178>Seems like he's already up.I think a few years ago he talked about or it was said he gets up before dawn every day
>>64709699Buncha fags, military is gay.
>If SEALs ran this op they would’ve lost 30 dudes failed to get Maduro and then made 5 mark wahlberg movies about it plus 6-7 podcasts (sponsored by black rifle coffee company)
>>64710204He was up and went back to bed, that's why it's set for 11 am.
>>64710223Makes sense
>>64710221You forgot about the dozen dead fishermen that it turns out weren't at any risk of blowing anything but oh well too late.>>64710223I can't imagine having been physician to either 46 or 47, there's been plenty of variously unwell presidents but never quite this degree of risk that a strong breeze could kill the most powerful elected leader on the planet.
>>64710285>to either 46 or 47For fuck's sake, just say their names.
>>64710304Sure, Biden and Trump. In the hopes of avoiding some autist insisting their old man was totally more alive than the other being activated upon ctrl-Fing their name I've instead run into the inverse.
>>64710311Well, I was only annoyed because your sentence was ambiguous and could have been referring to people aged 46 or 47.
>>64710339It couldn't, ESL
>>64709699They're not the VDV who wasted time and the element of surprise taking over a useless airport when they could've taken the head of state instead.
>>64710163Next step is prosecution, naturally. Here are the official charges that Mr. Marlboro will be charged with, in the district of New York. I can't stop laughing at the fucking machine gun possession charges. Like why does that even apply to someone outside of the USA? I'm dying here.
>>64710368Yes it was, you bright spark. If you wished to be unambiguous, you should have said "I can't imagine being a physician to either the 46th or 47th president."
>>64710373Real question, why didn't the VDV attempt this in Kyiv instead of going off to Antonov? They came in via the Dnieper anyways, the pathway wouldn't have been that different, land right on the presidential palace and go for it all instead of some sideshow
>>64710391>Yes it waskek even that wasn't grammatically correct, ESL
>>64710398Yes it was, actually.
>>64710405>it couldn't have meant this>yes it wasOk ESL
>>64710397Didn't they try to at the beginning?
>>64710397The only explanation is that they thought Zelensky fleeing was assured and that him doing that would be more demoralizing than capturing him.
>>64709947>the operation was a total success until the enemy reacted!Initial suprise=/= tactical success. It's like the first thing they teach in competent militaries
>>64710408You're acting way too butthurt over this. Just speak english eloquently next time and we won't have a problem understanding you.
>>64709947The reinforcements were on the way,, but had to return since they couldn't land on the blocked strip even after russians had taken the airfield. Ukranian units reached it and surrounded them before they could clean it up. It was botched from the very inception.
>>64710423>completely gave up trying to defend his grammatical mistakeThanks for conceding, ESL. Try not lecturing a native speaker when you barely have a grasp of the language next time>we won't have a problem understanding you.You didn't even have a problem, you understood that he was talking about Presidents. You just started seething because you're so ESL you thought "physician to 46" could mean physician to a 46 year oldNo more (you)s. You will attempt to get the last word in while still ignoring your glaring grammatical error, thereby admitting that you are ESL
>>64710376It means that their case is weak and they know it, so they're throwing any old shit in there.
>>64709947>The VDV successfully took Hostomel airportExcept they didn't
>>64710285>Reagan, FDR, Wilson, Like 3 other presidents that were straight up mentally impaired for almost an entire term
>>64710451Yes they did, according to my definition of "take" which I changed so I can win this argument. Your move
>>64710440Not responding to your bogus claim is how I get you to focus on my real one.>"physician to 46" could mean physician to a 46 year oldNow you're getting it. The sentence also mixes up tenses and implies anon actually is a physician. The hallmark of a good english sentence is a lack of ambiguity. It can only mean what you want it to mean.
>>64710411The helicopters and VDV were sent to Hostomel to seize the airport so that reinforcements could fly in on IL-76 cargo planes. However, Ukraine managed to barricade the runway, preventing the planes from landing and forcing the reinforcements to travel overland from Belarus instead. As a result, the VDV were effectively stranded at the airport for a full day, doing nothing but holding the perimeter. By the time the land forces arrived to launch their offensive on Kyiv on days two and three, the Ukrainians had already mobilized and set up ambushes at key chokepoints, leading to the attack's failure (ambuches at Bucha)
How the fuck did this even work?You're a Latin American dictator and you KNOW what happened to Noriega. Suddenly shit starts exploding in the city. At this point you should simply get up with your wife and let your detail get you the fuck out of Dodge. They must have had at least 10-15 minutes of lead time before Delta landed
>>64710515You have to be retarded to think there was any way Maduro could have fled, especially in 15 fucking minutes.What was he going to do, get in a fucking uber?
>>64710515we have a man on the inside who sold maduro a new comforter set a week prior, he was too comfy to get up
>>64710515American soldiers were probably already on the ground to block any escape. The choppers only came to pick them up after the arrest.
>>64710526Bedding salesmen, the unsung heroes of war
>>64710515Hell, he should've thought of an escape plan when the bombs started dropping on those boats.
>>64710186Practice pantsu raiding
>>64710376>Possession of machine guns >Possession of destructive devicesKek
>>64710515Dude was probably apprehended in the palace by his own people (maybe even his own wife), with perhaps a couple of US glowniggers, several minutes before the US planes took off. SOAR and Delta just went in to extract him
>>64709699They do sneaky stuff. They also usually do not like to talk about the sneaky stuff they do. I think they also have a very big budget. I would like to have about 1 month of their budget. >>64709870They are the go to sneaky boys, who also carried the Navy Seals to the Bin Laden attack.
>>64710544And it's New York, so you KNOW those charges will stick.
>>64710545Weird, I get the feeling he was in a military base when they nabbed him. Hence all the explosions. Or maybe that was a diversion.
>>64710515>At this point you should simply get up with your wife and let your detail get you the fuck out of Dodge.Let us answer your proposition with a question:Given that the US has, in your airspace:1. helicopters with soldiers2. missiles and bombsas well as3. satellites watching your locationWhich gives you the better chance of survival:A. staying surrounded by soldiers around youB. escaping in a car or on footYou will be tracked every second by satellites, recon, drones, and friendly intel assets either way, so what is really the best option? Soldiers or no soldiers?
>>64710567>Presidential palace in a corrupt south american banana republic doesn't have S-300s
>>64709961There was a video from PR a few weeks ago. USAF squadron (24) of F-35A and some CV-22 or MV-22 there. Yeah, there was also a USMC 10 F-35B sent to PR a few months ago.
>>64710567That was the air defense network.
>>64710183Why are they like this?
>>64710567There were still forces capable of attacking the US aircraft, that needed to be neutralised in order to extract MaduroWhat was blown up, was SAM sites around the city that could have shot down the helicopters, and some garrisons of troops that would have fired upon US forces
>>64709988>too stupidOr had their capabilities eliminated. Strongest in the world, gotta punch down to get into a fight that's just how it is.
>>64710586Here's a picture of one of the SAM's they blew up. It's at La Carlota military air base. Apparently, this is the remains of a "Russian-supplied Buk-M2E surface-to-air missile system".
>>64710487La Cieba?
>>64710573Surely he could be driven somewhere in a city of 3 million where the urban geometry prevents the effective landing of helicoptersVery simple planning that could've been done in the whole month of forewarning
>>64710601>no craterSurgical.
>>64710618Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico
I love how all the latin american leaders are tweeting messages about staying calm and rational except for Javier Milei, who's happy as fuck about this.>>64710621This is why I think Maduro was in the middle of a military base and thought he could just stay there. I mean where else could you go if not the middle of your own military base.
>>64710622HARM derivatives like AARGM-ER don't have a big warheadWhen the older versions of HARM started being used in Ukraine, there were mostly-intact missile bodies being found where they had struck Russian SAM targetsMost of the damage there will be from the launcher's own missiles cooking off, full of fuel
>>64709699What do you want to know? I grew up in and around 3rd bn during gwot, have a lot of great memories.
>>64710487Lower left: AV-8B over in the cuck seat watching, as they probably got kicked off the USS Iwo Jima for the F-35B.

>>64710473If you're unable to take context cues, English may not be the language for you. The ambiguity is only present when you remove context, which is why nobody else had any issue with it.
>>64709973Playing the mating call of /k/ over that video collage.>Yes!
>>64709699Some of them managed to go through the modern S300 defense, that's pretty impressive
>>64710691What's the longest helicopter flight you've ever taken?
>>64710763lel
>>64710515Also makes me wonderWhile fleeing wasn't an option most likely, how the fuck are you a dictator and don't have an airtight panic bunker 100m below your presidential palace? Fucking amateur I swear to god
>>64710763
>>64710515You are not hispanic, and do not understand how incompetent this regime really is.
God, what I wouldn't give to be one of the guys on this raidDoming Bin Laden in some shithole on the outskirts of a Paki town is one thing, kidnapping a fucking president in the middle of his capital, surrounded by his army and personal guard... If I saw this in a Hollywood movie I'd call bullshit and yet
This got me thinking, did Nostradumbass Armchair Retard take a "break" again before this happening or claim something about venezulela's mighty military?

>>64710577The Vermont Air National Guard has some F35s there as well. The thought of them taking part in this is kind of amusing.
>>64711046And did it on live TV.
>>64710763U.S. already dabbed all over modern Russian junk when they slammed dozens of JASSM into downtown Damascus.
>>64709699Considering the U.S. has this law>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Protection_ActWould they be able to reproduce this scenario (e.g., flying in and taking someone out with no casualties) in a euro nation like the Netherlands? Or was this only possible because of shitty thirdie defenses?
>>64711131The fuck does that have to do with anything?
>>64711139I think anon is imagining a case where an american HVT is in prison in, say, the Netherlands, and the army spooks slip in to bust them out and take them home. This being an absurd scenario where there is an international court in Dutchyland that the US is not party to.
>>64710838>if NATO forces approach closer than 10 miles from Moscow then the final red line has been crossed and the oppressors will know true suffering!!
>>64711131Depends. If a more developed nation wanted to, they could probably at least make it a much more miserable experience. Pretty much any NATO nation you care to name has better IADS hardware, a reasonable number of actually serviced aircraft and military C2 that's more likely to actually be able to muster some kind of defence in time.I certainly don't think they could do it this clean if the nation in question decided it was worth shooting at Americans, and then when casualties start mounting the question becomes if the juice is worth the squeeze.>>64711159>If the Delta operators on the other side of my panic bunker door blow the charges they just set then NATO will know the true power of the Russian people!
>>64711163That's actually a realistic cope though, Putin 10000% has the "send all nukes at their pre-set American targets" button in his bunker
>>64711173>implying Russia still has functional ICBMs
>>64711075I love the classic Clancy boomerwank. Is anything after Bear and the Dragon worth reading?
Maduro is on the USS Iwo Jima! Going to New York for trial.
>>64709947>The VDV successfully took Hostomel airport, but then they sat there, lost the element of surprise, got surrounded and killed.
>>64709699All we can know for sure is that they must be a bunch of fucking queers with insignia like that
>>64711232Somewhere around Debt of Honor or Executive Orders is when he really started leaning on his ghost writer. Post B&D is also the Jack Ryan: The Next Generation era, and that kinda lost me. He hooked up a personal buddy with 100 blank presidental pardons and enough black budget to run his own private glow ops unit, which his son end up a part of.
This mf had a panic room and was stupid enough not to be actually sleeping in that shit?! God damn, I guess he gambled wrong on how willing Trump was to make an actual move.Also it does say something about what god damn high speed, low drag units went in to extract him if he couldn't get there while being in the same house. Or he didn't wake up/wasn't woken up for military helo's coming down on his ass? What the fuck. Giving the ziggers a run for their money on hubris and idiocy. Though guess it wouldn't have mattered if they came with blowtorches, unless it had an escape tunnel too.Link if you want to listen agent orange say pic rel, but it's pretty much verbatim in pic.https://xcancel.com/clashreport/status/2007458965496426989
>>64710551If they're involved in every big specop why don't BRICS(China) just glue a satellite to their location so they don't get surprised?
>>64709947>The VDV successfully took Hostomel airport, but then they sat there, lost the element of surprise, got surrounded and killed.I don't understand why people keep posting this cope. It's like saying one team successfully scored a point but later lost because the other team scored more points.

Amricabro's, its time for your decadal nation building scheme. Trump just said that the US is going to run Venezuela for the forseeable future until they "can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition."(This is all verbatim)>We are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition so. We don't want to be involved with having somebody else get in and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years. So we are going to run the country until such time we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition.https://xcancel.com/sentdefender/status/2007493958260367519
>>64709947Dude they didnt have the element of surprise.... Ukraine knew for weeks the general invasion plans.....
>>64711352>Couldn't make it to his bunker in time because he had to add product to his hairRIP
>>64711367Venezuelan government is still intact. He won't run shit if they resist and he played his hand now.
>>64711397Lol, oil companies are going to run Venezuela.
>>64710585You mean why do they copy America?
>>64709947>The VDV successfully took Hostomel airport1) they took far too long2) because they took too long, Ukies started shelling the airfield 3) there is no point in having an airport if you can't land aircraftIt was not a successful operation.
>>64711383This, on the other hand, really no one saw coming
>>64711367Oh that is so retarded.
>>64711527Mutts won't do shit. Too bad trump is too retarded to understand that kidnapping their president will only motivate them further
>>64709872>>64709876160th is the aviation component of SOCOM, they haul all the SF/SW guys not just Delta. >>64709961More likely E/A-18s than F-35Cs. SEALs have been doing their actual job of ship boardings and infiltration in Marcaibo so didn't turn into the regular shitshow of when they are just used as a moist ranger regiment. >>64710693Pretty much the entire MAW got kicked off Iwo Jima for the 160th. That happened like more than a month ago. Big Navy does that fairly often, at least when I was in we had three separate times where we kicked off the regular birds for a 160th det. They are pretty serious badasses. >>64709934The DAP is terrible at SEAD, SEAD/DEAD would have come off USS FORD shortly before the 160th spun up. Realistically AD didn't have a chance. Its a pretty huge city in a bowl where everyone hates the military so even before the growlers went wheels up the location of all their TELs was probably known with high confidence.
>>64711383The Russians absolutely had the element of surprise on their side. Ukrainian defenses were generally unprepared in pretty much every direction except the Donbass. The Ukrainians were getting contradictory reports from US, British, French and German intel on the Russians ranging from an exact invasion date to probably going to invade to won't invade at all. The SBU itself was partially compromised so they weren't delivering either. Finally Zelensky was still holding out for a diplomatic solution until the very end.
>>64711594>will only motivate them furtherTo do what?Make bold speeches and get kidnapped as well?Venezuela can't do shit militarily and their greatest allies Russia and China are sending thoughts & prayers along with strong worded letters. The best thing they can do is negotiate a nice deal and leave for Belarus with sacks of money.
>>64710906>God knows how or when this endsLiterally ended in under three hours, lol!
>>64711611>Make bold speeches and get kidnapped as well?Nah, they only needed Maduro for trial. Anyone else that now steps out of line will get a bladed hellfire missile dropped on their ass.
>>64710376>I can't stop laughing at the fucking machine gun possession charges. Like why does that even apply to someone outside of the USA? I'm dying here.its probably more about what the smugglers were armed with.
>>64710445It's in relation to the cartels smuggling arms and explosives into the US along with drugs.

>>64710192>>64710183The PLA needs to win a firefight first:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlKrg1KNafMhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/06/un-peacekeepers-refused-to-help-south-sudan-rebels-raped-aid-workers-report> During four days of fighting between the rival forces, artillery rounds and gunfire hit two UN bases, killing two Chinese peacekeepers. The Chinese troops subsequently abandoned their posts, leaving weapons and ammunition behind, the report said.https://civiliansinconflict.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/civic-juba-violence-report-october-2016.pdf> Many Chinese peacekeepers huddled near their armored personnel carriers (APCs), located at several positions just inside the POC1 perimeter. Around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, an RPG fired by fighters outside POC1 exploded near an APC along the northern side of the camp. Six Chinese peacekeepers were wounded, two of whom ultimately died.> By the morning of July 11, many, if not all, of the Chinese peacekeepers undoubtedly knew that their injured fellow soldiers were still trapped at UN House, unable to get medical care or a medical evacuation. When heavy fighting restarted in the vicinity of POC1 that morning, the remaining Chinese peacekeepers fled en masse, running into the core UNMISS base.> Five South Sudanese civilians in POC1 described to CIVIC how, as the Chinese peacekeepers fled from POC1, they yelled to IDPs that they should likewise leave. “The Chinese were running across the camp, saying ‘Go, go,’” a 24-year-old woman said.
>>64711397Yes, a handful of helicopters is all the US can muster. There is surely nothing more they could possibly do.
>>64710186Base of fire for attacking the Presidential Palace and for fire control over the large open area in front of it too.

>>64713833>>64714022>>64714031Made a slight edit for you anon.
>>64714165Much better. I literally just installed GIMP for the first time in 15 years for that edit
>>64714180Lol, based GIMP chad.I made that edit in GIMP as well.
>>64714203Normally I use >mspaint but there's no way to rotate an image between 90 degrees
>>64714212NTA but since you're on Windows, try paint.net for jobs too complex for paint but maybe not needing a full image manipulation suite.Only real annoyance in switching to Linux on my laptop is not being able to find a 1:1 replacement for it, super handy program.
>>64710105Actually yes according to CJCS
Okay, last edit I swear.Had to touch up some of the edges of the head.
>>64714022>>64714165How'd you made the head the same color as the body?
>>64714256I'm lazy, I just desaturated everything
>>64714256Color picker and the Bucket Fill tool.
> very clean OP> no sealsMan Navy Seals really are the worst sof our military has to offer huh
>>64714291>How can I make this be about the SEALs?t. SEAL
>>64714300Kek
>>64714291And yet still better than anything else another country has to offer.
>>64714352If that is what you need to tell yourself, waterboy
>>64714101That's a Air Superiority mog.
>>64714423Do you disagree? Who do you think is better?
>>64714428If you're fighting US SOF, you're very likely also fighting USAF
>>64714539That's the US military in general. Everyone is protected by air power.
>>64710456I'd say that JFK was technically mentally impaired for a bit.
>>64711595>Pretty much the entire MAW got kicked off Iwo Jima for the 160th. That happened like more than a month agoI remember a few months back JSOC came to Sydney Australia for talisman sabre. I was driving home and saw 2 160th black hawks and chinook fly right over the M4 freeway. They were coming from south west and heading east, so they were coming from holsworthy which is were SOCOMD is and flying out of the ocean. Later that day I saw pics on the Aus/pol/ thread of said helos parked on a LHD off the coast. Pic related.
>>64710515Latinx are dumb as hell due to their hybrid and inbred genes:It's that shrimple!
>>64709699>What is known about them?They go to where putin has arranged PR stunts for Trump?
>>64709919>no SEADWhere did you get this from?
>>64711352>steal_his_look.jpg
>>64711352Saving. Going to use this in 9 months.> trick or treat
>>64711352>The A/C is on and he is listening to his favorite music
>>64711300He read the “nothing ever happens” posts on twitter and believed them
>>64716304Though I gotta say, this one fits the situation perfectly. Especially considering how the movie ends.
>>64710398>>64710408>>64710440>>64710722>ESLCan you shitskins stop appropriating our insults? Thanks. Also you have no idea how the english language works if you think "Yes it was" is grammatically incorrect.
>>64709699>>64710149
>>64716460...how many does she have?
here's the training speed/pace of CAG a decade or so agokeep in mind they get A zone and card hits at this speed or faster irlthere's a reason it's rumored they have the highest casualty rate of any tier 1 force
>>647164652, maybe more, imagine
>>647164652 butt holes and one pussy
>>64709929>>64709919Special ops SEAD for SOCOM isn't handled by the 160th, it's handled by AFSOC.AFSOC SEAD relies heavier on counter-MANPADS, jamming and drone use, facilitating tasking for larger targets to regular forces. Most of the SEAD done in the greater operation against the Venezuelan navy and air force would have been handled by the Navy

>>64711300To be fair, the panic room might be a little drafty, and it probably doesn't offer the best view.
>>64714053>Weren't the Venezuelans using the Chinese Jy-27 radars as wellThere were 9 JY-27V, 12 JYL-1 and 10 JY-11B radar sites active and protecting Caracas.
>>64716594Wonder if Monke told him to make like him and live in the panic room and he just ignored him? Because we all know that Monke is more like a moleman by now than monke.
>>64710397>>64710411They did try. Russian sof and Wagner goons got rolled up by Ukrainian forces in Kiev itself and I'm not just talking about the guys in apcs and trucks getting killed. Russian sof took a few hundred casualties (pows) trying to hunt him down during the first few hours. Vympel basically ceased to exist after the first month because of this. You very rarely see them now. Alpha also got btfo but they didn't get destroyed until doing vip for Gerasminov or however the fuck you spell it. Artillery did that.
>>64711300>Why wasn't he sleeping in a schizo cage?Probably wasn't a paranoid nutter willing to live in a prison cell. At MINIMUM wouldn't you expect your security to delay them long enough to evacuate? Based on the testimony he was by himself which is insane. They must've really hated him.
>>64716618That's a lot than I initially thought. Were any taken down? So far, I only heard about the Buks
>>64716476Those casualties were (from what I understand) being used in Iraq to breach and clear buildings for like two years straight. Someone has to be the first one in, and that guy usually dies, do that a hundred or two hundred times and you run into a major issue.
>>64718029>Were any taken down?The radars were neutralized via nonkinetic means due to concerns about the presence of Chinese advisors. Some components may have been destroyed in the process but the personel should be unaffected.
>>64709699They're a bunch of pussies.https://www.coffeeordie.com/article/160th-soar-ninja-attack>Between 1 and 2 a.m., an unnamed staff sergeant was outside of a building at the airport when a man dressed in full ninja garb approached him and asked, “Do you know who I am?”>soldier replied that he did not know who the ninja was, and the ninja then asked, “Do you know where my family is?” When the soldier again said no, the ninja began to slash at him with a sword, striking him in the leg and knee before the soldier retreated back into the admin building, where he locked all of the doors and called 911. >The ninja continued his assault by punching at doors and windows of the building before briefly disappearing, according to the document. He then reappeared with a large piece of asphalt that he threw through a window, striking a 160th captain.
>>64714248It's still missing something
>>64718475I'm sorry but this is a blue board.
I love the 160th so much it's unreal. Please post more images of 160th helos.
>>64718465Jesus, Sam Fisher really fell apart after retirement.
>>64718465Oh, like you'd fucking know what to do if you got attacked by a ninja.
>nearly 250 replies>no mention of Mt Hope III
>>64718825I read a book, and it related the story of the CIA managing to get a MiG-23 radar from one that had been shot down on the Pakistani border.
>>64718825>*yoink*
>>64711310That's not really how satellites work.
>>64714539Yeah that's generally how combined arms works. The Navy and Marines got to play that night too.
>>64718825we can go deeper
>>64718465The insane bit is they never found this guy.
>>64719100They did, local sheriffs grabbed him that night
>>64709870>>64709872SOAR doesn't fly in Delta, Delta has their own aviation company.
>>64710524honestly if he had just gone out for a stroll by himself to grab one of those mexican hotpockets, what would delta have done? detain every overweight Latino man with a commanding mustache? he should have just left on foot in the first 5 min
>>64722053you mean Seaspray? weren't they folded into SOAR?
>>64722422They were folded into Delta as Echo Company
>>64719085That's not entirely accurate, but keeping a satellite in one spot that isn't in a geosynchronous longitude would be prohibitively expensive with current publicly known technology.
>>64710990Jesus, he really should shave that bozo ring.Unless he plans to become a friar.
>>64711597To be fair, one should always hold out hope for a reasonable diplomatic solution.However, one should also always prepare for the very worst possible military solution simultaneously, especially when dealing with an entity like Russia.
>>64714223Based Linux user.I had the same problem; Krita and Pinta ended up being enough for my needs.
>>64710285Wilson had his wife signing legislation because he was only self aware for 30 minutes a day. She was either the first female president or the first biological autopen.
>>64714223>>64723180The tool you're looking for is called Lazpaint and it's pretty great (for some reason I never see it mentioned anywhere, even though it's effectively paint.NET for linux)
>>64723268Thanks Anon, I'll check it out.
>>64723268>>64723281Turns out I already had it installed and simply forgot.Don't be a drunkard like me, friends.

>>64723079It would not be in orbit thus by definition not a satellite.
>>64710002This, the probably had a ton of excess capacity in the birds in case 1-2 had to be abandoned.
every young 15T's wet dream
>>64724287Are you fucking kidding?Surely, you are not this fucking retarded.
>>64710002>begging for troubleHeheheShithooks leak hydraulic oil so rapidly, every one of them I've ever rode had all the internal pipes permanently exposed and 50 gallons of oil in 5gal buckets stowed under the webseats.Don't get me wrong, I love that bird. But even the best maintained Shithook is a flying problem. Everybody who gets on one for an op, including the cockpit crew, laughs, then prays, then hopes that mutherfucker stays together.
>>64727359He's right. It would be suspended, i.e. constantly thrusting (unless we've invented antigrav). It could be correctly said to be in a suborbital trajectory.What you're thinking of is bit like saying a weather balloon is in orbit because it's really high.
>>64727428I swear to fuck anon, I expected better from you.Geosynchronous satellites are still fucking satellites.
>>64727436>but keeping a satellite in one spot that isn't in a geosynchronous longitude would be prohibitively expensive with current publicly known technology.They are explicitly not talking about geosynchronous satellites. Please read.
