Ok but how did the SEAD work?
How do you know where the EAD is to S them?
Is Dan Caine so autistic as to get the CIA to locate every single EAD and beyond? Every manpad and radar?
Doesn't sound realistic. You telling me this is the same military that lost helis to Somalian pirates? Lost billions worth of equipment in a rout against the Taliban?
What the fuck is going on?
Is it actually because AirForceGODS are good at our job while the navy and army suck?
Discuss.

They just leave that shit parked in fields.

SEAD only works on large equipment based AA, it doesn't work on some random infantryman with an RPG. And RPGs were fired during the Venezuelan raid, they just missed (probably because LatinAm can't into war) and their operators were immediately turned into paste.
Somali was an ambush, the Venezuelan raid learned from the lessons of Somalia. It's not hard to understand.

>>64727134
AHH yes. Stingers and other manpads are no threat to rotary aircraft. Everyone knows that. Fucking jeet scum.

>>64727181
US DIRCM is that good, yeah

Arguing with an imaginary friend now?

>Ok but how did the SEAD work?
you bribe the enemy's military to stay down
>>
>>64727224
Why are they bombed then? Your equipment doesn't work.
>>
>>64727111
It helps that Venezuela has a laughably low number of AA systems in general
>>
>>64727250
no flankers were bombed. flankers flew just the day before.

Anon, the US has tech to just turn your shit off.

Satellites, drones, teams on the ground, cyberwarfare units commandeering CCTV cameras from parking lots, banks and gas stations. Every system you use, every phone, every computer, every ATM machine is built with an infrastructure that's known and easily exploitable through bruteforce, pishing, backdoors, RAM exploits, etc, etc. because it was if not built on the west, copied from western designs with the same inherent structural weakness. Even Chinese software designers and computer engineers have to learn English because that's the language the code they use is written on.

SEAD is like synergy
it's just made up corporate babble
it doesn't exist, no one knows what it is supposed to be but they think they do
>>
>>64727111
You know how the Ukranians seem to know where russias are defences are at all times?
The US operates an improved version of that capability
>>
>>64728312
Shoot at air defense
>>
>>64727111
turns out it's really hard to aim manpads at dark ass helicopters flying at night, while those helicopters have their lights off and are looking through thermals and NV for retards with tubes on roofs, hope this helps
>>
>>64727111
Basically you fly around trying to get the enemy to shoot at you, shoot back, and then defeat the missile before it kills you.

Unofficial motto of Wild Weasel crews is "You Gotta Be Shitting Me." The entirely reasonable response to receiving the assignment.

>Somalia
>Scrambling to save your troops as they are being pinned down on the ground
>No time for actual recon
>No option for heavy air support, as the enemy is humping your own guys
>This is supposed to be a humanitarian ops so you don't want to lob bombs at the city
>Casualties will happen trying to limit further casualties

>Afghanistan
>Departure is planned for years
>Tons of equipment is left for the ANR because it's more expensive to haul it back home.
>Said ANR deserted when US forces are gone
>Equipment is considered as if "lost to the Talibans" by the USA.

Yes, this is the same military.
It's just the difference between :
>Executing a offensive operation with good intel and months of planning.
>Improvising a rescue operation with shitty intel and barely hours for planning
>"losing" the stuff you had given to your holiday crush because the bagage fee was too high, this after you returned home because he himself abandonned it.
>>
>>64727134
>they just missed
>When part of your MoA is "just don't worry about it"
>When said MoA is, in fact, working
We can shit all we want on the mutts but the fact they can pull this type on shit on the regular despite their flaws is really not flattering for us.
