Hoooooly poo poo that was like a FPS video game bloopers reel except it's human beings. What a miserable loving war. What was the line of explosions that looked like it hit a row of vehicles? Also that helicopter explosion was hollywood as gently caress.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF5MTgsw1L0 This one's longer, but a quick perusal says it may not be quite as crazy as Hinds exploding. It does have lots of dead people though, so about as  as you should expect.

I saw that picture being posted by some friend that loves to circlejerk over this dumb wave of "independent investigative journalism" (basically a bunch of conspiracy theorists that got kicked from their jobs at legit news organizations and decided they can make mad loving money off of morons that believe they only got the boot for trying to report "the truth") washing over europe where NATO somehow is a junta, all western media is controlled by NATO, NATO is super-competent and, for several decades, has been sitting just outside the frame secretly controlling the entirety of global politics through aggression, lies and money. Needless to say, MH17 was shot down by two ukrainian SU-25 belching 30mm death at it and this was all orchestrated by aforementioned NATO junta and the sheeple refuse to see the truth. Also, Obama's endgame is to force europe into a nuclear war with Russia because the US war industry can make a fuckton of money off of that and there are "better" allies in "the pacific theatre". It's...it's quite something to behold.

Of course they do, I've heard them referred to as Hinds in Metal Gear Solid as well  Pretty sure the one getting turned into a giant fireball in that video is a Mi-8 Hip though.Re: Syria Hollywood explosion chat.

So here's a giant waste of money. http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/story/military/tech/2014/12/06/non-lethal-mortar-delivers-flashbangs-over-one-mile/19910537/?sf34417676=1 Marine Corps Times posted:Grundy was inspired to pursue a non-lethal mortar after a visit with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, at Camp Pendleton, California, in the summer of 2008, shortly after the unit returned from a deployment to Iraq. The unit's Marines described the harassing fires they took. Rogue mortarmen would lob rounds toward their forward operating base from civilian populated areas, the executive officer said. There isn't a capability gap, there's a trust gap. If that round fails to pop in the air and hits someone, it's fatal. I bet any one of those sub-munitions could gently caress up a child, too. We couldn't fire Illumination rounds in the middle of buttfuck nowhere because the area had mud huts scattered thoughout. The few times we did fire Illum, clearance took 45 minutes for each round. If you trust your mortarmen enough to lob "non-lethal" rounds through the air, trust them enough to put effective suppression where it's needed with minimal collateral damage. Or, you know, just do 'em all. Do the whole loving village.

Somehow I doubt that once they figure out that the flashes and noises are all show, that it's actually gonna suppress poo poo. It's all the result of artillery and other indirect fire trying to stay relevant in a COIN conflict, the same reason we have the Excalibur round. It's such a fundamental change in the way artillery supports operations that when we actually get in a big shooting war, we're going to have a hard time going back to the "enemy in a treeline? Let's drop 100 rounds on it" mentality that actually allowed us to win WW2. TonySnow fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Dec 7, 2014 |

If they're deaf and blind it will, but that depends on the strength of each submunition. I really doubt we'd struggle going back to conventional warfare though. We can still fire for effect with the best of them.

COIN is such a loving pointless exhausting poo poo show with no loving payoff. Either go all loving in on rebuilding/killing motherfuckers or don't bother at all. Trying to maintain an image of a "force for good" is such a tiring pointless exercise, that gets more people killed than it helps. Maybe I'm just jealous of the Russians who basically go "gently caress you, stop me if you don't like it". Because not a single motherfucker uttered a word when they leveled Grozny. They dropped goddamn rocket arty in the middle of an urban center because there was assholes holed up in an apartment block. We on the other hand can't even drop a loving flare over some dumb goat fuckers opium field without getting permission from 17 different people.
