Make sure to check out the entire thread. He has screen shots of many of the vehicles in the vid. What I find interesting is that the Chinese are really pusing the "optionally manned" part of this thing. I imagine they see a future where serious jamming is going on so they'll have to put a human in direct control. Additionally I'm really impressed by how heavily armed many of these little rigs are. Only the US Army with the 50mm cannon armed robot vehicle compares and we don't have any heavy indirect fire models that match what the Chinese are doing.

China will be hunting our forces with loitering munitions...

Hmm. So one vehicle could theoretically knock out an ACV company that isn't properly equipped. A HIMARs battery. Take out a FARP. Now do you get why I think that the Leonidas-Stryker is so necessary? We're not dealing with one or two but whole swarms of drones. I don't know how many of these vehicles makes up a "company or battery" but if we go with the standard of four to six then you're looking at 72 loitering munitions going after a high value tactical target. That alone might be enough to put a serious hurt on a company landing team. ONE 4 vehicle section of loitering munitions.

This one is a kick in the nuts to Marine Corps lore.

The lore is that the Navy abandoned the Marine Corps on the island.  In a sense that is true.  But the reason why is left unsaid for reasons of propaganda, national pride and during the time - wartime censorship.

The US Navy got its shit pushed in by the Japanese Navy.

The Navy didn't abandon the Marines.

The Navy was trying to preserve what was left of its fleet.

The lore is the lore and its fully engrained now, but the REAL lesson needs to be applied to future warfare.

Forces forward...whether Marines in the Pacific or Army outposts in the Middle East/Africa face a real danger of being cutoff and destroyed.

The Romans tried putting forts on its frontier to keep the tribals under control.

It didn't work then and it appears that it won't work now.  Forward presence is a only credible IF we have forces ready to surge forward in enough time to make a difference.

I'm not sure we have that ability anywhere anymore.

This is what a child must do to get to school in an undeveloped country. WE ARE SO FORTUNATE (and incredibly ungrateful)

We are very fortunate to live in a country where access to education is reasonably available to most.

We've forgotten the hierarchy of needs in our abundance of plenty. A bit of hard time coming will perhaps remind many of how fortunate we are. I don't want bad times but maybe the West needs to suffer a bit to get our priorities right.

U.S. Army MH-47G Chinook prepares to receive fuel from a U.S. Air Force HC-130J Combat King II assigned to the 26th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron over an undisclosed location

 

Russia is accusing the UK of blowing up the Nordstream pipeline.

Right off the top. 

I'm just passing along news that I find. Spare me with the propaganda bullshit. 

Next is the fact that its kinda amazing how that subject has just disappeared from the news with NO evidence provided by the US that the Russians did it (as many pundits claimed). I've stated on this blog that US intel knows exactly who did this deed and voiced suspicion that they didn't point the finger directly at Russia. 

Last. This fits the actions of the Biden admin. They hate fossil fuels and will do anything to cut off Europe from Russian oil...the people of the EU be damned.

Reuters: Russia is considering the response to UK blowing up Nord Stream. Russia revealed on Saturday that Britain is responsible.

Obviously the US Govt was involved. Britain would never strike Russia and a NATO partner without approval from the boss.

How will Russia retaliate?

This is the biggest canary in the coal mine that is being ignored by many. Luckily a FEW Americans remember 2014 and what happened that year.
