If the Russians announced Putin is gravely ill and a few days later claimed he was dead. Even with a burial, what percent of the people would believe he was actually dead? Conspiracy nuts would have a field day with that one for decades. In the 80s Soviet leaders were deadified with frequency. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Andropov lasted what? 14 months before he dropped off? Even today wikipedia describes it as "kidney failure" with no description of why renal failure and why no dialysis? I liked them better when they were too busy killing each other to be fuckheads Most were quite geriatric until they picked Gorbachev Heart attack was common as I recall |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JQ66: Most were quite geriatric until they picked Gorbachev Heart attack was common as I recall Not really. Stalin and Krrushcheve (spelling) were in their prime when they assumed power. Breshnev (spelling) wasn't partiucalr old when he assumed power in the late 60's. There was a 3-4 year period of leadership going from him, to two other guys, who both died pretty quickly. Then Gorby who ran out the clock on the Soviet Union. |

Excellent
Czech gives Ukraine 30 active + 89 stored T72s Germany gives Czech 20 Leopard 2 A4's, sells them 40 more leopard 2 A7s. It seems at least the 30 active units in the deal are upgraded with Perkins + Allison powertrains, new fire control, era, and active fire detection/suppression. Seems to be all ironed-out and paperwork to be signed around this week. https://www.armyrecognition.com/defense_news_may_2022_global_security_army_industry/czech_army_to_acquire_leopard_2a4_and_2a7_tanks_after_giving_its_t-72s_to_ukraine.html |

Doing call for fire with the drone as the forward observer? Sure. Park the fire support officer or the battery commander in front of the screen, go get a cup of coffee. If the UAV operator who can geolocate things down to one meter sits next to the artillery guy who can destroy shit plus or minus a couple dozen feet, give them chairs, introduce them to each other and tell them to be friends. Magic happens. You dont need to buy Super Turcanos or other happy horseshit either. Is there a digital way to push the digits to the guns? I dunno. Could be. But if your TOC is well organized that wont speed things up much as you still need people in the loop. You still want to plot it on the map and confirm that the target is enemy, so slowing the process down a little isnt a bad thing. This truck is at 36 40' 05" north; 15 39' 28" west. A drone with a laser rangefinder, gyro, and GPS is older then many posters here. Shadow, pred, reaper..... That grid, including degrees, minutes, seconds, is accurate to approx 100 feet. Or have the computer jockey convert it to a ten digit grid. If the artillery is doing its job with respect to accurate fire, this target is dead. And if the shell misses, lase, get a 10 digit grid of where the shell lands and pass the correction back over to the guns. That's very helpful as well. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2015/2/23/1424713623688/239f0d94-de7a-4dce-bf47-02f89a2dd5f8-2060x1638.jpeg?width=620&quality=45&auto=format&fit=max&dpr=2&s=ccfcb5c1730d35f5ac37d72afd723df5 Is there a digital way to push the digits to the guns?

Technically it was a tie!" OK Kevin Kline. Every Army Col and General that served in Afgan said things were going fine and that the 20 year training program was A-OK and working well. While every E-7 and below could have told you how worthless the Afgan army was, and that they would quit and run away about 15 seconds after the US left. Don't only blame elected officials - the military leadership told everyone exactly want they wanted to hear - and got their stars and defense contractor board positions in return. Same leadership would be in charge of fighting any future war as well. Doesn't sound like a recipe for success but I was just an E4 so just did the fighting, not the lying. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ryan_Scott: The trick to Afghanistan is to just not care about the remote parts. What are they going to do to you there? Hold the irrigated valleys, roads and plains and let the Taliban have the mountains.

It actually peeves me to see libs pretend to give a fuck about this new current thing, knowing they didn't give a fuck about supporting what was done in Afghanistan. Troop levels were a political decision made directly because of them. The trick to Afghanistan is to just not care about the remote parts. What are they going to do to you there?

Seems like there was an internal battle fought in DC between Nation Building and Counter Terrorism, and the Nation Builders won the battle. It was doomed at that point. |

It was doomed at that point. It's kinder in the long run to just put a non-hostile dictator in place and bribe or coerce the dictator to keep the atrocities down. |

Unknown, I'm told it's permanent. I am displeased.  This can't be true. That would be even dumber than taking moderating advice from London Metro. |
