tactical advantage of horse cavalry in 2026?
>>65401637Not Calvary in direct open warfare, just a rugged animal that can easily make transportation and patrols in harsh climates. It's more affordable than vehicles and they do not require paths that are as maintained as paved roads. Horses play a role in almost every major military and police service in the world. When they're charging head first into battle with them, THAT is when there's a problem.
>>65401637the pla is for fighting unarmed civilians though, not people who shoot back
>>65401649Surely a helicopter is superior. or a dirt bike.

>>65401637Not tactical, but logistical. The logistical train for horses is relatively shorter than for ICE vehicles, though they require their own set of specialist vetenerians, farriers, handlers, horse trainers etc.
>>65401897A dirt bike can cover several dozen miles. A horse can't without constant water and grass.
>>65401637Makes sense in Mongolia, because there's more horse infrastructure there than there is car infrastructure. They're also very intimidating, which is good for police work, which occupying of gendarmerie corps may need to do.
