What's going to be the next normie symbol of "These guys are elite" now that everyone down to the conscripts are being given NVGs?
>>65241755If they could unfuck IVAS then that would be the thing. That or the andruil cat ears which are basically just another form of AR goggles
>>65241755Quad NODs, t-shirts, and slick plater carriers
Drone pilotsOnce drone piloting is AI, it'll be some logistical guy that points the AI where to go.
>>65241755every infantryman in the US army has been getting night vision for decades and normies still think it's elite.
Beard (on white man)
>>65241763Nah. Artillery get more kills than any other MOS and people assume that's just a job for actual retards; I don't think drone operators will have any more clout than that.
>>65241755Tactical neuralinks controlling semi-autonomous drone swarms, implants that let you see in the dark without electronics (temporary-use eye drops for broke conventional forces), direct-brain-interface tactical mesh network ultra-low-power radios, cybernetic muscle implants with direct-to-eyeball wired connections and brain processing power boosters with onboard AI models allowing for ultra-fast, ultra-accurate shooting moves, subdermal IIIa armor with thermal-resistant artificial skin plates, titanium-reinforced bones, artificial blood with double the oxygen-binding capacity, and uhhhhh better guns I guess>inb4 but none of this is real!yeah man I wouldn't worry about it
Exoskeletons
>>65241755roids+beards+podcasts
>>65241755Casually worn FPV headsets, autonomous UGVs carrying your shit
>>65241755Giant butt plugs with Stars of David on them to show what a cuck for Israel you are.
>>65241784Sci-fi novels for this feel?
>>65241892>shits pants>starts to leak past diaper>has to remove the bulky exoskeleton to change>hidden ground fiber optic drone zooms into butthole and detonates gerbil style
>>65241755Pulling pranks like the SAS did in Afghanistan by telling their translators to pick up guns then shooting them for clearly being insurgents. That's a warcrime unless you're spec ops in which case it's hilarious and moral-improving.
>>65242001The opening of Forever Peace.Stop reading once he goes back to America.
>>65242009Why would you kill your own translators? Our translators got us vodka in what was legally a dry country, I loved those guys.
>>65241784>Subdermal armorwhile cool, unless you're james bonding it just wearing your fucking gear feels like it's going to outweigh the risks of surgery. Plus you'll feel really silly if they come out with a cartridge a week later that punches right through it. I can see a marine taping alexa to their head to tell them if it's crayon time or killing time though, that seems prudent.
>>65242013Literally just to inflate their kill count against...themselves. Other SAS units operating at the time. They'd do a breach and bang, shoot up everyone and if they were a little shy you tell abdul to pick up one of the dropped guns before yelling "HE'S REACHING" and tell the ops leader yes unfortunately another covid vic...I mean uh, turncoat.
>>65242032>>65242013>>65242009>Senior commanders knew it was happening.>Didn't do anything because they didn't want to impact morale. Jesus christ what a bunch of fairies they've become.
>>6524178090% of artillery jobs are for retards
>>65242273You'd fit right in
>>65241755>now that everyone down to the conscripts are being given NVGsThey aren't though.The only military where they're being issued to everyone and their dog is the US.Literally no other military in the world can do this. They're reserved for high tier combat units, especially duals.Nothing is going to change about it anytime soon, either, because the intensifier tube manufacturing market has been mostly the same for 30 years and digital NV is still dogshit for combat use.
>>65241755Elite Infantry is gone manYou witnessed the crescendo of it in the GWOTThe days of the "and then the helicopter flies in and we rape you" are dying fast. Thermal optics being ubquitious and easily mounted to a DsHK make the SOF heli raid a nogo. Thermal drones make the SOF dude tacomas/hilux in the bush a nogo.>Maduro?Savor it, because thats the beginning of the end. Even with the goybeam.
>>65241763Drone operators are going to be platoon fire support/recon which isnt that elite
slavs jumped directly to thermals instead of night vision.works both day and night and the advantage is way higher than being able to see at night.
>>65243118>Thermals work during the dayHave you ever used a thermal during the day?>Slavs jumpedDid you mean, "Couldn't make gen 3 tubes" ?
>>65241768To be fair, US Army.
>>65243118Except for you know the best part of night vision which is land navigation.
>>65241755
>>65243140>>65243142you can go by with digital light enchancer for navigation, but oh boy target aquisition is an entirely different topic.
>>65243198Good way to eat shit on loose rocks
>>65241755Looking like hobos
>>65243198So you've never used a thermal.Got it.
>>65243141To be fairer, nobody is larping as poors without it being a significant point/theme of the larp
>>65241755WUUUUUUUUUULULULULULULULU
>>65241780People can't make a mental image of a good vs bad atilleryman, but for drone operators it is very easy since it is like a first person videogame essentially.That said, it's still going to be an infantry unit, else nothing. Normalfags like/respect when units face extreme danger, not when they are getting free kills from a screen.
>>65242008>hidden ground fiber optic drone zooms into butthole and detonates gerbil styleFuture drone combat from the infantry pov once miliaries figure out how to get small mobile anti flying frone automated turrets is going to be like playing prop hunt kek.
>>65242013Because, at his core, the bongman is an evil spiteful creature.
>>65242008>>65241784>>65241892>implying you're gonna get to keep your bowels
>>65241755Being clean shaven again like in the Cold War.
>>65241755Transparent data link monocle.
>>65242008Why in your desperate gay mind does an exoskeleton cover your anus?
>>65242273Just for 13Bs/0811s.
>>65244350>Being clean shaven again like in the Cold War.Post the pic of vinning in Eagle claw, you know the one
>>65241755Soldiers of the future will have spider genes spliced in and can also see UV, IR, polarized light
>>65244356That's how it's powered
>>65242869>The days of the "and then the helicopter flies in and we rape you" are dying fast....Wasn't Venezuela just the other day?
>>65242273thats not fucking true, we use math and protractors and shit fuck you fucking jealous bitch malding that were smart and have massive forearms while you have a fucking GED and twig arms
>>65241755Next step is clearly wide angle combined true colour night vision + thermal overlay + miniaturized ground radar + directional sound detection + real time datalink + 3D imaging with cloud upload + whatever else.It'd be like playing a video game with wallhacks.
>>65244394I'm ok as long as there's spider girls
>>65242009Source?I've heard about the Aussie SAS doing weird shit like that, but I've always assumed that the Bongs were quite professional (when on duty anyway)
>>65242001tangentially related bust ghosts of tomorrow hits hard imho
>>65246569Not that anon but just throwing out somewhere to start with it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2vw4n9pg1oIf you don't like BBC you're on the wrong board but all jokes aside I guess try googling British SAS afganistan warcrimes and there will probably be a <your flavour of media of choice> version out there. But in short its been an ongoing investigation, I don't even think they're done yet.
>>65241755>going to be the nextdk but it'll show up in /hg/ /arg/
>>65245927kek
>>65246646>Shot kids, like actual kids not teenagers>Got so bad Afganistan spec ops kept refusing to work with them and drew a gun on them during a meeting. >Got reported regularly by senior officers>HQ told them to shut up and support our troops.Based but also incredibly gay because it was all for kill ratios.
>>65243142But thermal drones can see you just as well at night, so you might as well wait for daylight before moving.
>>65241755Wouldn't you feel fucked if whoever was sent after you was wearing power armor kit like this?
