Is SEAD dead? Apparently you can just bounce radar waves off the ground to make it look like the ground target is at a different location than it is, making it effectively impossible for anti-radar missiles to target the ground vehicle.
>>64742452Name me one (1) instance of this
>>64742452>United States is good at something>"Umm, actually, that thing is pointless now because of this thing I made up in my head!"
>>64742452>bounce radar waves off the groundDraw it in 3d, it'll take you about 3 seconds to realize why this is not actually practial.
>>64742468That's what they said about trench warfare for decades.
>>64742452>I just dreamed up this implessive new approach to SEAD, therefore SEAD is deadNo you retard, even if what you're claiming is possible then SEAD is more powerful and more important than ever.
>>64742452Bro really just posted this after the US took out an entire nation’s air defenses and kidnapped their president.
>>64742677OP has thirdie IQ, pls understand
This is now a Wild Weasel thread.YGBSM
>>64742452You heard it here first guys. Can't SEAD if the AD is disabiling itself!
>>64742452Is body armor dead? Apparently you can just avoid getting shot either by moving out of the way or hiding behind things, making the armor effectively pointless.
>>64742647that's what every intelligent person is still saying>b-but it happened in ukraine because of a precise set of factors coming together.try trench tactics against a military with a modern and SEAD capable airforce and you'll quickly find out how retarded your premise is.
>>64742452>you can just bounce radar waves off the ground to make it look like the ground target is at a different location than it isWhat turdie told you this?
i cannot even express in words how much joy it brings me when thirdies get angry about the superiority of SEAD.not are all of their armies highly susceptible to getting raped by superadvanced western airforces they would never be able to build, their cope counters on the ground get destroyed by the very airforce they're meant to protect against.
>>64742452>falcon carrying air-to-air missiles but then a sniper podwhat loadout is this?
>>64743119I love this Big Bitch like you niggas wouldn't believe.
>>64742452ECM and ECCM is a game of constant counterplay. The SEAD crew generally has an advantage over the air defenses as air defense is often static and it may have a known location before SEAD engages, in that case fooling an anti radiation missile doesn't work if it is a GPS/terrain association missile. Plus we are far into the era of machine vision.
>>64743185>sead still works against shitty thirdies>we only need a 200 ship strike packages to disable a single ad batteryawesome, now try china
>>64743198we aren't wasting expensive anti radiation missiles against static targets.you launch harms so the enemy doesn't dare to turn on their target radars. it's the s in sead.
>>64742647Trench warfare is ideally obsolete because it is a cope deevolution of offensive warfare. He who breaks trench warfare can advance, he who is stuck in trench warfare can only cope.
>>64742452Did you miss last few days?
>>64743344did you?this time pentagon didn't mention any launching of harms unlike iran last year.
>>64743200>b-but if you make up fanfiction about how 200 ship strike packages are necessary then the US stops being scary and i can finally cope with their superiority succesfullyLMAO
>>64743184>>64742461That’s what they do in battletech
>>64742452All DEAD is SEAD, but all SEAD isn't DEAD. Hope that clears it up for you, thirdie.
>>64743517>actually it was 150+ aircraft>not 200very important difference indeed
>>64743714>150 aircraft is considered a lot now
>>64743718how many aircraft does a carrier wing have?
>>64743722Only about 70 or so. Not much out of the tens of thousands of aircraft the US has.
>>64743718the next biggest airforce, russia's vks, does 2 ship strike packages. 150 is very much a lot.
>>64743735>the next biggest airforce, russia's vkslmao, if you're using Russia as a metric for anything but sucking you've already fucked up
>>64743760then how about 1990s usaf that fucked up a 78 ship strike package.if you don't think 150 is absolute elite, you are wrong.
>>64743771150 is puny. The Battle of Britain alone had several thousand aircraft involved, and that was for one battle.
>>64743778that wasn't a strike package
>>64743786It was, it was a strike package to bombard Britain.
>>64742647https://www.military.com/history/bulldozer-assault-of-desert-storm-saw-us-army-opt-out-of-trench-warfare.html
>>64743198That’s why stormbreakers/brimstone 2/spear are so goated. Just jizz a few off in the general direction of air defense equipment, and they’ll handle the hard work themselves
>>64743830>RAF can do SEAD nowwhich squadron would that be?
>>64743857The ones flying f35, presumably
>>64743900f-35 don't have brimstones nor spears
>>64743771>only 6 Wild Weasels present>2 Aircraft downed>0 US KIA>Greatest thirdie victory since the 70s.Pathetic.
>>64742468Ironically the US has mostly switched to using satellite guided bombs for SEAD/DEAD roles.
>>64742647Look up what happened to trenches versus the U-S-A in the gulf wars.
>>64743569Sounds like inner sphere barbarian cope for not having good air support.
>>647424611999 bombing of Serbia. Source: ex PVO (air defence) colleage with ARM shrapnel in his back
>>64744503Didn't they use a bunch of salvaged MiG-21 radars as decoys too?
>>64744137No the Clans do it too, that's why air support isn't a big factor for any faction
>>64744506Dont know, he never mentioned something like that but he did explain famous "microwave oven under wooden mockup" myth: It wasnt an oven, it was a spoofer supplied by VTI (Military-Technical Institute) that mimicked radar signature. When soldiers were interviewd by some reporters about what they do, they said "we shine microwaves so they bomb them, not us" and reporters, not knowing the difference, thought they ment ovens. They actually tie into OP about ground reflecting radars because they were used to spoof smaller signatures. If anybody is interested I can write more about it later
