Ahem! Why? ;))

Granted, it is The Telegraph, but still: 

Some wondered if Benjamin Netanyahu had lost his mind. The Israeli prime minister had suggested that his nation be weaned off the American military aid it had relied on for decades. He wanted to do so within 10 years – a blink of an eye, in military planning terms – at a time when Israel could be dragged into a looming war between the US and Iran. “We very deeply appreciate the military aid that America has given us over the years, but here too we’ve come of age,” Mr Netanyahu told The Economist magazine. “We’ve developed incredible capacities.” The unexpected announcement posed fundamental questions: could the Jewish state survive without its long-term protector and to what extent could it rely on America in the Maga age? Israel receives $3.3bn (£2.4bn) annually in US military aid. On top of this is a separate missile defence assistance package worth $500m a year. For a small state with dangerous neighbours – including bellicose Iran, militarily ambitious Turkey and Islamist-run Syria – American support is crucial.

Well, apart from it being nothing but a pose (they love posing, showing off, making grandiose statements and chest thumping in the region) for the consumption of hoi polloi, reality is such that IDF is known primarily for being a genocidal police force with heavy equipment which is incapable to fight a modern war even against subpar opponent armed with will, courage and having access to modern tactical battlefield systems--such as tactical AD, ATGMs and good comms. Per modern missilery--forget it, Israel is essentially defenseless (and here it comes), because IDF is nothing more than a midget off-spring of the US military doctrinal thinking and obsolete TOE, based of fantasies about operations, military history and propaganda. While I doubt that Israel is capable weaning herself off the US support, IDF will continue to be what it is today--genocidal police force with heavy equipment. 

Meanwhile, here is again a demonstration of why US Field Manuals and desire to deploy into the company columns and smash ... whatever the backward peasants it may encounter is nothing more than Hollywood fantasies. It is also not a secret that the bunch of NATO "advisers" from NATO countries still run 404 so called "operations" and that 404 still uses NATO's tactical manuals written for the kindergarten kids who just watched Hollywood movie about war. 

Yes, they still get themselves into columns and believe that they can breach whatever they try to breach. But as you can see yourself Russian drones and ROK operate just fine without Starlink. They always did. Do not file yourself into columns, kids. You still are going to get killed, you know, but at least you will live longer. Like 5-10 minutes longer. But what do Russians know about armor warfare. They should have learned from General Patton and Hamish de Bretton-Gordon--they would have won it in no time. I am being facetious, of course.
