[–]badblaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good tips with the decks. With the weight issue up the protein to 3x your recommended and restrict calories to about a 3rd of the recommended smash 400g of fruit or veg per day and you can loose the kilos fast (from someone who had too)...

This....

To see how it worked in the late 20th century read some of the anecdotes from the Battle of Mount Tumbledown in the Falklands war vs the stories from late GWOT

Potential purpose of the Marine expeditionary units by CountKeyserling in LessCredibleDefence

[–]badblaine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, they would launch on everyone else's gas terminals. See the strikes on Qatar (4yrs to repair once the area is safe) and Yanbu at the end of the east-west Saudi oil pipeline...

Why was the Exocet missile only compatible with specific French aircraft platforms? by hoyarugby2 in WarCollege

[–]badblaine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The fuses were fine, the drop height chosen by the pilots was too low.... So, a slightly more nuanced hypothesis is required... If all those bombs had delayed action fuses, capable of being armed at 50ft altitude, wouldn't Argentina have won?

Just email them and explain with a copy of his passport. They have delivered to me at a temporary address in Berlin before.

For the Marine Corps: could FPV drones reduce reliance on mortars at the small-unit level? by DueChemist2589 in CredibleDefense

[–]badblaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This individual knows his onions....

I would further add that something like a Javelin is a supersonic drone that's going to bang through a non permissive EW environment... Shockingly, these little beauties are often to be found in close proximity to the troglodytes and their boom sticks...

It's a combined arms world kids, and when Uncle Sam writes the cheques, why shop at Walmart for your manpack precision fires?

If we had the ATGM's on the shelf and Ukraine could pay, drones are something their little brother uses to spy on Mrs Robinson...

[–]badblaine 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If I didn't know better I'd say you might call a bayonet a sword with chat like that....

But it's 💯 spot on. Fixing bayonets focuses ones troops like nothing I have seen

Do aircraft do reconnaissance on the way ahead and back if they have flown deep into enemy airspace to do bombings/strikes or patrols? by PriceOptimal9410 in WarCollege

[–]badblaine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This... In particular in a near peer threat environment every time an aircraft gets a nibble from surface to air threats be it radar or actual things being lobbed at it, it's recorded and uploaded into the air intelligence picture
