Sure, vertical launch systems are better in every way that matters, but they don't look as cool as rail-arm launchers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeQM3WWhdjs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwH1B-X6z2Q

my kinda ape posted:I wonder if anyone has ever shot down an ATGM in flight. I bet you could do it pretty easily with canister shot from a tank if you were ready. There seems like there might be some delta between "technically possible" and "easy." Which is why active defense systems wait until the last minute and have computers do it.

If Iran is a known supplier of arms to the Houthis, is it such a world-shaking revelation to find Iranian built-drone parts anyway? I don't think we as a nation want to start pulling on the thread of "the weapons supplier is responsible for all acts of the weapon purchaser."

Milo and POTUS posted:Don't the russian airborne drop in their vehicles? They've certainly rehearsed that, with those cool retrorocket additions to their chutes to soften the landings. A Bad Poster posted:Knowing Russian logic, I'm guessing the reasoning behind it is speed and "without the vehicle, the crew is useless anyway." IIRC, there's a thread of Soviet-and-then-Russian thought that wants airborne forces to be able to drop in unsecure LZs and be ready for action instantly upon landing if necessary.

Based on the results coming out of Ukraine, you might as well try outlawing artillery. Submunitions have overturned some of the fundamental relationships of the combat arms, and fighting a peer opponent without them isn't going to be possible.

golden bubble posted:At least it did change their minds. All those massed charges into barbed wire at Port Arthur convinced the IJA that soldiers could beat entrenched defenses if they had enough samurai spirit and willingness to die for the emperor. To be fair, most European military observers came out with the same dumb lesson, hence all those tactics at the beginning of WWI. But since the IJA's next major conflict was a giant mess of Chinese warlords, they didn't realize how dumb that was until far after the idea had be beaten out of European militaries. Never underestimate the ability of military observers to watch an actual war and chalk up the fuckups to ignorant furriners. The trench war was clearly forecast by the western theater of the ACW, too, and plenty of European observers watched it happen and came to the conclusion that Americans were mobs with guns, and that could never happen with Proper Military Traditions leading the way. Things happening in the Boer War and Russo-Japanese War were points on the same line.

ded posted:I have a feeling they were worried it was an VBIED that they hosed up blowing up and didnt want to take the chance. This seems the most likely. Also neither vehicle seemed to notice the other until they'd passed each other. I think those little scrubby trees block a lot more of the view that is seems from the drone's-eye perspective.

My gut tells me that vehicle could’ve made it all the way across if they had closed all the hatches. If driving a vehicle into a river was an instant out, there wouldn't be a single vehicle left on dry land.
