Canadian Infantry doing work

PsyOps Anime is at it again. This time they take aim at the Russian hypersonic missile strike on Ukraine

 

US Army to introduce the MH-75 THIS YEAR!

 Before we get to the news about this thing let me express my biggest fear.  The US Army, especially its light infantry/airborne/air assault, will compete with Marine Corps units for room aboard Navy amphibious ships.  The USMC has tilted so hard to sea denial that we've left a glaring hole for them to assume the assault mission.  Hell our OWN LEADERSHIP has practically declared assault from the sea to be dead.

The U.S. Army will field the long-anticipated Bell MV-75 tiltrotor aircraft this year ahead of its former schedule, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George announced at the Army’s Senior Leader Sitrep town hall meeting that premiered online today.

The Bell MV-75, previously designated the Bell V-280 Valor, promises greater maneuverability in the air than traditional helicopters. The aircraft was previously slated for delivery between 2031 and 2032, but George announced during the town hall that production has been accelerated.

This is the second gen tilt rotor.  I expect it to have better performance overall than the V-22 especially in terms of maintenance even though it will be brand new.

The US Army is drinking our kool aide and our leadership in trying to predict a narrow future are quickly making us irrelevant.

We need to course correct now or the Marine Corps will only exist as a ceremonial unit with 8th&I, the band and maybe embassy duty.

The budget cutters will eventually arrive and right now we can't justify our mission.

Most of you read it but I need to highlight portions of the story with regard to the sonic weapon used in Maduro raid.

 Thanks to Joshua for making me circle back to this!

Venezuelan soldiers were reportedly brought to their knees, "bleeding through the nose," and vomiting blood, according to an eyewitness account from a Venezuelan guard to the dictator.


"At one point, they launched something; I don't know how to describe it," according to the account posted to X.


"It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly, I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.


"It was like a very intense sound wave."

If you're like me then you skimmed over the rest of the article and ignored the description that the Venezuelan soldier gave.  If you did then you missed alot..

 

"We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons," he said. "I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was."

Ok so it was a sonic weapon I said to myself.  Again no big deal.  We've read about this tech for awhile now.  But wait.  There's more!

 

"We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation," he said. "The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react."


Then, "barely eight" helicopters appeared, deploying just 20 U.S. troops, but those few men were all that were needed because of their technical advances.


And this, the guard said, led to a slaughter.


"We were hundreds, but we had no chance," he said. "They were shooting with such precision and speed; it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute."


"Those 20 men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us," he said. "We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it."

Delta is badass.  I give them all the credit in the world.  Them along with the Night Stalkers and Rangers seriously kicked ass.  

But drink in what this guy said.

WE WERE HUNDREDS...THEY WERE SHOOTING WITH SUCH SPEED AND PRECISION IT WAS LIKE EACH SOLDIER WAS FIRINIG 300 ROUNDS PER MINUTE.

I chalk that up to two things.

Shock and Firepower.

That's usually Mech/Tank Battalion type shit.  Maybe in a well performed ambush.  

BUT IN A RAID WHERE THEY HEAR YOU COMING????

A little more and I'll end this.

 The security guard, meanwhile, said in the interview that he is warning anyone who thinks they can fight the United States that "they have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with."


"Everyone is already talking about this," he added. "No one wants to go through what we went through. What happened here is going to change a lot of things — not just in Venezuela, but throughout the region."

If this is real then we're seeing game changing tech when it comes to raiding.

Where once it would take assaulters from SEAL TEAM 6 or Delta along with heavy security by a Ranger Company (at the very least), we're now seeing those risky, high profile and extremely complex raids being capable of being done with the assaulters and MAYBE a platoon of perimeter security.

The implications for use on the modern battlefield is beyond me.  I simply have no idea but it could be game changing in ways that even drones haven't shown.

If true then we truly are in the years between WW1`and WW2.  Tech is advancing in so many directions that despite the best efforts of those back then they really had no idea what would be useful and what wouldn't.

If it isn't real then we're seeing some of the most powerful psyops I've ever seen. The Chinese will surely pursue this tech as will the Russians and others.

I don't know but I thought it was worth taking another look at.

Keep an eye on Iran. The US is moving forces and Trump has threatened military action if they keep killing protesters

First T-7 delivered

The US military always makes the simple hard. A ready, capable, flexible and the ability to perform light strike and defense missions for the continental US is available in the form of the KAI T-50. It was ready to go and will easily train future pilots. Why a unique design that we had to invest money into its development. I don't get it.

Sell your Raytheon stock unless they get ahead of this...

The Russian ship that was seized was carrying weapons, not oil?

Someone is going after govt officials in Iran

Low levels guys now but I expect whoever to climb the tree to bigger names. This Iran mess has the hallmarks of "foreign intervention". The protests were too organized, too well equipped and so skillfully done that they escaped the attention of the govt intel services. Mossad, CIA, MI6 or someone else?

China is experiencing the growing pains of a budding empire

Well it looks like China's Marines, Airborne Force or Special Ops is gonna have a full time job protecting its Nationals around the globe...

I know tanks get "fumey" but I've never heard of this before...
