Some Guy TT posted:https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1610296498155028480 Lol the whole thing the Marines love to bring up is that "every Marine an infantryman". Getting pressed into more needed positions (that usually are dangerous and suck) is a tale as old as time in every military. Edit: Sorry, *rifleman* not infantryman

much rather stay at the back and shoot a big gun than be at the front near where all the dangerous stuff is

It happened all the time in WW2. In both Italy and Northwest Europe the CW had more artillery regiments in Army and Corps support than there was a need for, plus the infantry needed replacements, so they rerolled a bunch of gunners. Of the combat arms, the engineers are too useful for a million other tasks that need to be done, even manual labour, and the armour/cavalry is not usually large enough to provide a lot of manpower by breaking their units up, so alongside cooks and clerks they scrape gunners for infantry replacements first.

What's your bet that Ukraine did not even do the staff work, because that's soviet, primitive, orkish, and they have uber for artillery because they're a startup nation?

Zeppelin Insanity posted:What's your bet that Ukraine did not even do the staff work, because that's soviet, primitive, orkish, and they have uber for artillery because they're a startup nation? I keep going back and forth on this. The leaks showed NATO is intimately involved in every part of the Ukrainian military's operations, but their casualty numbers were from the official Ukrainian figures and they had no information on the strength and condition of Ukrainian army units, other than the new ones NATO was arming and training. I would imaging there were western planners involved in this, but I have no idea at what level of staff. I would also guess that losses among Ukrainian officers has caused them to break up a lot of staffs and training establishments, so how much planning is done, and at what level, I have no clue. Even at the brigade level though, the artillery staff should have tasked the brigade mortars to laying smoke for those breach attempts. Idk, we never get any information on how the Ukrainian military is doing institutionally.

Maya Fey posted:the guardian got significantly worse around the time their offices got raided in 2013 or so quote:In 2016, the company established a U.S.-based philanthropic arm to raise money from individuals and organizations including think tanks and corporate foundations.[169] The grants are focused by the donors on particular issues. By the following year, the organization had raised $1 million from the likes of Pierre Omidyar's Humanity United, the Skoll Foundation, and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to finance reporting on topics including modern-day slavery and climate change. The Guardian has stated that it has secured $6 million "in multi-year funding commitments" thus far.[170]

Lostconfused posted:drones still work while jammed Ukraine will never be able to match Russia's EW (Electronic Warfare) abilities until Japan contributes Minovsky particle technology. Then Ukraine's GF13-006NA can stride across the battlefield unhindered by cowardly RuZZian spotters and drones. Let's see Russia's artillery fight in visual range! fake edit: Reading about real life radio signals and EW is fascinating.

Ardennes posted:The idea is to jam across a wide area, it isn't the size of the drones that is the primary issue. The Ukrainians don't have the equipment really to jam so they are just getting continually pelted with loitering drones. The counter to EW equipment is pretty straightforward though. That's just it, jamming gear with a broad field is very vulnerable on the offensive. Directed jammers much less so, but you have to spot the drone first, hence size being an issue, admittedly not as you say the primary one. On the subject of jamming, I came across this article about a Ka-52 jamming 18 MANPADS using it's Vitebsk-25. It's of course unconfirmed but I found it interesting. The video features grainy footage of vehicles being blown up and isn't relevant or really informative. https://bulgarianmilitary.com/amp/2023/06/10/one-ka-52-helicopter-deflected-18-manpads-by-jamming-all-warheads/ Majorian posted:I hadn't seen those quotes, but I have to say, it's kind of a relief. Don't worry, that bastard tankie Miley has been replaced. Did you know he was talking with China?

Directed jammers much less so, but you have to spot the drone first, hence size being an issue, admittedly not as you say the primary one. It seems like infrared would be more of an issue even though a Ka-52 is going to have a bunch of flares. As for jammers on the offensive, yeah it is going to be an issue, but it is also why you need integrated point defense working with artillery and everything else, the hedgehog approach. It is a good question from the Western side, what is being learned and what isn't. We know how much copium there is in the press and DC, but is West Point still high-fiving each other about dead orcs or actually doing their jobs?

It's not my area, but likely you'll see sober assessments in the professional journals and work like that, but it won't make it out into mainstream narratives. If you read Defeating the Russian BTG it is just a list of times Ukrainian units got rolled up on the last go round, and there seems to be collective amnesia about that
