so how does the Israeli messaging get out and get coordinated go fast. Is it just everyone throwing poo poo at the wall to see what sticks and the big players know to follow whichever narrative takes traction? Or is there a central office in Israeli state department that calls ADL/AIPAC/Network heads and straight up tells them what to do? It's always fascinated me

I doubt any Israeli agency has CNN on speed dial or whatever, but mainstream media is plugged in directly to the zionist influence network, so it's just degrees of separation. In the influence network you also have minor side hustle groups who wish they worked for Israel following the lead of groups that actually do like the ADL and AIPAC.

I just have doubts that it's going to be usable to leverage into a position of higher power or esteem; the only people coming to declare Fartlow a hate crime are abject losers, even by modern zionism standards this isn't something you would use to leverage yourself into something prestigious; this is something where you find a retainer interested enough to pay your way and then you work towards power from your seat of comfort or at least that's how I see it, the right-wing track seems to be pretty cut-and-dry when it comes to such odious people finding rewards

Or they accept that zionism is awful and reject it. Maybe not immediately. But some people just can't deal with the mental and moral contradictions. And some peoples' identity immediately collapses. Crack pinging is a pretty violent process. New information is being introduced to your brain in a way that interferes not only with your understanding of things but at least for my own deepest crack ping it interfered with what I'd refer to as the cognitive structure of my brain. It was damaged and then reformed into something entirely new. Either in a small way because I hadn't thought of it much or in a very large way where what cracked was an essential part of my identity. People will go through some pretty serious mental gymnastics to keep from being wrong. Especially if that wrongness is deeply integrated into their identity. How do you pull all of that awfulness out of you if it is so essential to your being? I mean, you can, but I liken those big events to the same kind of pain that goes with the death of your belief in religion for example. Extremely traumatic.

I listened to the new Radio War Nerd and thought it was especially interesting how the Israelis were afraid of even getting near the Konkurs atgm teams, which is one of the real reasons why they didn't want to do another ground invasion. So I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to find out why, since there's obvious contradictions in how Israel claims they conducted themselves in combat and what they actually did. If you look at what the Israelis claim about the Trophy APS (active protection system) deployed on Merkava IV tanks, they whoop up the fact that of the 12 vehicles fired upon by missiles from Gaza none of them were penetrated. The APS system worked as advertised. The problem with this is, Israel never attempted any kind of ground invasion of Gaza. Their vehicles were deployed at long distances over flat terrain where you can see anything coming. Those are ideal conditions for the radar sensors on an APS to detect incoming projectiles and divert or destroy them. It also makes it easier for them to defend against the traditional means of defeating APS, which is to use dummy fire or multiple projectiles to dupe the radar or force the APS to spend its munitions. At every conceptual level Israeli forces were operating in optimal conditions. So what do they have to be afraid of? In urban combat everything changes. You're driving down streets with obstacles on either side, or driving by rubble which presents massive clutter for a radar system. That effectively makes APS useless, especially when somebody with an RPG can go up to the top of a high rise and shoot down into your top armor. Most APS systems aren't designed to defend against this, and if you're close enough there's no time to respond. Getting that close to the enemy is also a big problem because they can just knock out your sensors with explosives and small arms fire.  This is what the radar system for Trophy looks like. It's totally exposed and you can't miss it. Once it's knocked out you're practically defenseless. But then the biggest problem is that the Trophy system makes the Merkava's intended purpose impossible. The Merkava is designed to be an infantry support tank, which means it's supposed to provide mobile cover and fire support for advancing soldiers. But the Trophy is a "hard kill" APS system. Soft kill APS tries to deflect incoming fire by duping its sensors with radio, radar, or infrared jamming; but hard kill tries to outright destroy an incoming missile with its own counter munitions. The munitions themselves are small and only create shrapnel in a limited cone, but ATGMs don't simply disintegrate, they fragment.  Any infantry standing near the tank, where they're supposed to, would get shredded by this. So if you're supporting infantry, then you have to turn off the APS and be vulnerable. If you want the APS to be on, then you need to be operating as an isolated fighting vehicle. Sending tanks into urban combat without any infantry support is almost always a death sentence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l65-OWWHkI4 This video features a lot of test footage of hard kill APS systems, if you want to get a real sense of how dangerous it is to be around one. The simple solution to the problem is that you send them in anyway. You take the risk that you're going to have some acceptable losses to accomplish an objective - but Israelis don't want to take any risks. They can't tolerate any amount of casualties because it's a massive social and political liability. Their multimillion dollar fighting vehicles are only good for bombing distant targets. They can't do anything about the Gazan tunnel network because they're too afraid to go in there. So instead they resort to artillery and bunker buster bombs, as if all of Gaza is one big board of Battleship. Pener Kropoopkin has issued a correction as of 08:58 on May 28, 2021 |

Tiler Kiwi posted:has anyone specifically created a combat vehicle for use in urban combat? most seem really ill suited for the task. The primary solution has been to develop AFVs that are designed to shred infantry in urban terrain. Something with multiple high caliber autocannons, that can penetrate steel reinforced concrete at a high fire rate. They're still going to be vulnerable to blindsiding like any other vehicle, though.

Stringent posted:drones? Drones are really good if you just want to blow stuff up, but identifying targets in a city is a lot harder than it is in open terrain. You can also mask yourself from drones by using infrared smoke, which is opaque to every range on the electromagnetic spectrum. A lot of the time this involves using expensive and highly toxic chemicals, but you can get similar effects from a water fog screen. If you've got an extensive tunnel network like they do in Gaza, then you can easily hide where your entrances and exits are from the sky.
