Hezbollah just came close to taking out an Israeli helicopter with a drone during a casualty evacuation in Lebanon. I don't post this to shill. I post it to show something of interest that points to the battlefield conditions for a first world army today. Hopefully this stays up. Video at link. https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/2048503768241602969#m
yea in the era of drones and 24/7 surveillanceYou can't play fast and loose with casevacI assume they'll have to take losses before they get the point though
Another video I believe of the same incident second angle. https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/2048494655428325810#m
This makes it easier in some way to hit CASEVAC, but even decades ago it was incredibly risky. Now you have to make sure there isn't a peep on the entire district because they've gone from RPGs to dronesTL;DR two more weeks until DARPA unleashes the laser drone killer, and then the eyebrow will be raised
I understand that this is your job, but could you at least stick to a single thread?
>>65109424Let me known when they hit something.
>>65109424I wonder if they were even aiming for the chopper or if someone managed to shoot the drone because it was way off, like 35 feet away
>>65110200It was hit by small arms fire is what I've read
>>65110200they hit the first one last second got really lucky
>>65110950Second one looked like it got blended when it flew past the the rotor blades.
>>65110957to me it looks like it hit and the fuse failed initially
I stand with Israel.
>>65109424They are so shit at warfare that "coming close to hit something" is enough to make headlines lmao
>>65110995I would if they werent jews
are muslims really celebrating the killing of one idf grunt when they already lost ten thousand soldiers this year so far?
I wonder how the IDF vs. Ukrainian army would go. I get that the IDF has a very high quality army cause they're so few but I feel like the Ukies would fuck up everyone right now cause they're so ahead on the drone game.
>>65115071IDF can conduct actual air operations
>>65109424Due to the political impossibility of funding long term veteran healthcare and the enormous value of hostages as demonstrated by the October 7th attack all soldiers will now be issued suicide kits they will be expected to use if wounded or captured. Problem solved plus other problems solved too.
