Discussing things and the "event" you may not know yet but was funny and has shown a lot what you need to know about Europe in general, and UK in particular.
I am talking about this.
And how somebody (wink, wink) organized attitude adjustment session for Oxford and how this institution chickened out. We already had plans for Ian, Alexander Mercouris, Steve Jermy and me to have a get together in London. Well, I doubt Oxford will invite me again, so I will have to go to meet my British friends on my own).
Physics, of course, is for losers. Real winners study political "science". Of course, there are many other documentary videos from 404, how about single VSU soldier killing 200+ Russians.
Or Russians "not advancing", or the US "defeating" Iran. There are very many similar documentaries and, believe me, attendees of the premier of the Top Gun: Maverick will believe this ignominious end of Kh-47M2 Kinzhal after being shot down and ...
Yes, this is exactly how M=9 missile falls. Many in 404 (and evidently in Pentagon) believe it. After all, what could possibly compare to the best anti-missile system of them all.
This is a "spread" of casualties which one would expect--give and take, I am not suggesting that pastor's numbers are precise--in case of Brigade Combat Team trying to engage in any significant ground combat in Iran within two to four weeks. In other words, it will melt away. The reason is simple--US Army is not equipped (nor is a partner in Dutch Rudder propaganda of Israel's IDF) to deal with actual long-range fires and stand-off weapons due to a perverted view on warfare in general and air-defense in particular.
This is a result of worshiping fake history and fake leaders. I will remind you, if you forgot:
The creeping arrogance, the hubris, which would cost the American Army so dearly in Vietnam. Summing up the achievements of his troops in crushing the German counterattack of December 1944, Patton with pardonable pride claims to have “moved farther and faster and engaged more divisions in less time than any other army in the history of the United States—possibly in the history of the world... No country can stand against such an Army.” These memoirs are valuable not least in showing, however unwittingly, that a disastrous presumption of invincibility took root in the ranks of officers who led the American military after World War II.
This is from foreword to Patton's memoir. US Military doesn't learn--that's not me saying it, that's late hater of Russia and falsifier of history Richard Pipes describing what takes place:
Well, yeah. US Navy has (or had recently) an Admiral who graduated with the major in ... English Literature. But then again, Lisa Franchetti, University of Phoenix and shit. So, what happens when your opponent not only fights back tenaciously but outranges you? They call it "asymmetry"--that's the level of military "science" in the US. Nothing good. Well, with the US Secretary of War having his military education lifted from Scofield Bible and Fox News what do you expect? And don't tell me I didn't warn. I did. Now, who will answer not only for the atrocity against people of Iran but for lives of those American kids who died needlessly for a terrorist entity in Levant?
This is so typical of Gulfies. Yes, we all saw how good you are "defending" yourself. Exactly, "with distinction", because you are ... defenseless, as is the US. But, yes, in a typical Gulfies' manner a humiliating defeat must be wrapped into hyperbole and self-praise. UAE, however, does have experience with good air defense, it even helped to finance it in 1990. I am talking about this:
Yes, first versions of S1 Pantsir bought in 2000. They have been upgraded relatively recently but the nature of this upgrade remains uncertain and they are not Pantsirs operated by Russian Air Defense. There have been certainly successful intercepts of Iranian drones and missiles by Pantsirs, but what passes for "layered air defense" in US AD parlance is not layered and not real defense as a sad fate of PAC3s and THAAD demonstrated, with them being incapable to provide REAL AD with at least moderately acceptable intercept rate. It is not acceptable, of course--it is dismal.
Meanwhile, Yaroslavl Air Defense Academy.
404 and its NATO terrorists tried to strike this academy 100 times (it is described in video)--all 100 targets have been shot down. NATO air defense is not in the same league and it doesn't have own dedicated military academies in the field where for 5 years, 6 days a week you prepare full blown high end engineers with massive STEM background and tacticians with the step into operational planning. UAE knows that and they know that THAAD, let alone PAC3, ain't no S-400. But the best way out of it for them is to do what Iran demanded--remove US presence. Looks like the message was received. Details of future contracts will be discussed later.
Tactical stuff and shit. But it is really interesting. Self-patching anti-drone net.
Previous generation of nets when had UAVs explode on them would be breached and the hole could be used later by other enemy drones. This net however patches those holes (50+% of their areas) on its own due to the mechanical properties of a material and a weave (like letter Z) which is capable to do this. This is really noteworthy, especially since it is being mass-produced. That reduces dramatically the effectiveness of drones.
Meanwhile, for some reason the promised (by fanboys primarily) demise of tanks and field artillery (you know, drones will do all the work, LOL) hasn't happened yet. I wonder why? Well, I am being facetious, of course. Here are the the guys from T-80BVMs who love their machines in combat.
Meanwhile the little robot that could.
Kuriers (Couriers) not only are mass-produced and haul everything, from wounded to the rear to ammo and food to the line of combat, here is this little thingy shows how to properly tow a legendary Soviet/Russian 122-mm D-30. They have become true helpers in combat and beyond.
His mental decline is precipitous, spurred by an immense pressure from both external factors, Israel, Epstein et al, and traits of character he cannot control anymore. He cannot grasp anymore anything which contradicts his obviously grotesquely primitive if not vulgar view of the United States and its actual capabilities. He knows only one thing--New York real estate market dealings.
Somebody has to explain to him that the US lost, in the most humiliating fashion and the US owner, Israel, is not only beaten into the bloody pulp, but IDF, as was predicted, paraded itself as a third rate force incapable of modern war, period (use Google to translate). Sheer military incompetence. In the end, who will answer for guys on the US aircraft carriers and LHDs going effectively hungry? Just asking ...
