  1. That RT logo give me shivers... but to the meritum, imagine that there was some ideas to drop them with crews inside to faster enter the fight. I would probably got a heart attack. :D

    Bggg.)))

    It was not only ideas, pan. BMD-1 was first dropped with crew in 1971 year. BMD-2 was dropped with crew in 2010 – it was 3 vehicles and two men in each – a commander and a driver. There is a vid:

    but they didn’t show inside the vehicles. I guess because special “paratrooper-chair” (Kazbek-D), never saw it s image in open sources.
    @I would probably got a heart attack.@
    In my case it would better to place some stope-gap in my asshole))))))

  3. RT is russian fox news only half as crazy.

    I see retro rockets gave way to cheaper airbags and extra parachutes

  5. Four C-17s

    3 with 2 M8 Bufords (or PL-01 or CV-90/120) each and 1 with 10 Wiesel UGCVs.

    The UGCVs act like hunting dogs flushing the cougar/s ahead of mounted hunters. No ambushes.


    The Mid Range Munition, Kinetic Energy gives you OTH/NLOS ability to support the skirmisher robots.


    You move using a system of waypoints to control for distance and speed (allowing horses and hounds to take different routes using satellite or drone scouted preview imagery) and now you have a REASON to be dropping light armor out of the sky.

    Namely, if you have an Embassy in trouble or a nuclear armed government about to take a tumble with non-state actors moving in to seize the special weapon storage depots. Or even just a situation where you want an Inchon but there isn't time to get it as a function of cutting off a main AA line of attack, you can do it to it without being on-LOS with a threat that has the ability to through and through you like you were the Sherman and they were the Tiger B.

    China feels increasingly caged and confronted as we move into the Region.

    Whatever they may no-no-no say, they _own_ DPRK, lock, stock and barrel.

    Neither the ROC nor ROKs are the incompetent novices they were in the 1950s.

    Which means that the USMC doesn't need to thold their hands on the frontlines. Does need to avoid the attrition fight where they are just another supporting fires source and finally MUST be able to execute on two axes in a helluva hurry with little or no support for several days and _minimum losses_ if they have to play Schwer Panzer Abteilung, spike their tracks and pull out via helo recovery.

    None of these things agrees with the notion of an infantry battalion force the smallest possible unit capable of independent operations.

    Everyone mounted in a platoon or company sized element screen elements and effectively smart artillery preferred engagement options is closer to the ideal because it doesn't require more than a single pass of air landed commitment by a SOLL IV equivalent airframe (A400M or C-17, special buy).
