Ground guys always reach for kinetic solutions but the French Army Chief says small drones are already being defeated and this is a blip in time...

I don't have the info he does but it makes sense. Small drones are the big bad right now but just like the Turk drone that was rampaging around the battlefield early in the war, their time is over.

Ground guys always reach for kinetic solutions.  I get it.  I'm with it. But this time its electronics that will lead the way.  Of course that brings a whole host of additional problems that I have no idea about but it is what it is and some brain will have to work it all out.

Long story short?

Just like we over invested in killing tanks for 40 years, we were tipping into over investing in killing small drones.

Electronic warfare is the answer and solutions are already appearing.

We can't relax just yet but we need to invest scarce defense dollars wisely.

Chasing the next revolution in military warfare is a fool's game.  We haven't gotten it right since the beginning of time and I don't believe anyone wearing stars will magically get it right today.

Looking at you Force Design 2030 & the Berger Cult.

LEOPARD 2 A-RC 3.0: Upgrade to unmanned turret technology

 

Watch for a "flash" incident in the Pacific. Chinese Coast Guard impound AFP small boats...

 

Story here

Picking up on the Force Design 2030 stuff, how many of these do we need to see before we stop doing this shit?

Back on task.

AFP troops are lucky they weren't killed.  China is obviously pushing things yet still moderating...at least a little bit.

Sooner or later the Philippines will have to show force and things will escalate quickly.

The SORRY, PATHETIC & SAD THING is that most are missing what this is.  

THIS IS NOT A TEST OF THE PHILIPPINE GOVT!  IT'S A TEST OF US RESOLVE AFTER SIGNING A DEFENSE PACT WITH PI!!!

We can run all the Marine Littoral Regiment exercises we want.  The US Army can run out their Multi-Domain whatever the fuck ya call it.

They're toothless tigers.

It will take deploying destroyers, frigates, hell even a few LCS to the region to combat this type of action.  It'll also take a few ship skippers that have the permission and the balls to rub paint, fire warning shots and maybe take a few hits to get this shit to stop.

I don't see it happening.

China is winning short of war.  That makes it a perfect victory right?

The US Army has 100 landing ships in its fleet. Force Design 2030 is asking for 35 & they're coming in late/over budget..

 

I despise Force Design 2030.

I think it unnecessarily wrecked the Marine Corps and the only reason why it even was put into place was for legacy building and a chance for the New Marine Corps to be different.

Having said that, it only makes sense for the Marine Corps to simply use what the Army is using.  

Why?  

Because it don't make sense to reinvent the wheel.

But are you seeing the bigger issue here?  The US Army is waiting in the wings to pick up the amphibious assault mission that the Marine Corps is throwing away.

They can already conduct assaults from the sea via rotary winged aircraft (looking at the 101st but the Army has so many aviation assets that damn near any Light Infantry Division can do it).  They're moving toward having their own real deal Mobile Gun System designed specifically to support their light infantry.

They already have landing ships.

They're ready to take over the entire spectrum of forcible entry...all because a few Marine Corps leaders decided that it was "too hard".

The beginning of the end of the USMC. Past and he hopes Future Trump National Security Advisor wants the entire Marine Corps dedicated to the Pacific...

The sharks are circling and they see a juicy snack in the USMC.

I woke up to Compass Points talking about it but didn't think it would be this bad.  I'm focused on the Marine Corps portion but trust and believe this is bigger than that.

This dude is laying out what he hopes will be the future Trump foreign policy initiative.

The terrible thing is that I'm sensing a re-run of the first Trump administration.

Globalist filled to the gills in places of power, steering the US toward doom.

Berger set this in motion and the current idiot is continuing it.

The sunset is coming for the Marine Corps unless a drastic course correction is made.  We allowed this to be done to us and unless we make things right the bean counters will pin us as a trophy on their wall.

U.S. Marines with HMLA-167 participate in Distributed Aviation Operations Exercise 24

 

Always wondered how short people got into trucks with 6in lifts on 37s...

 

I see them in the trucks. Seen them walking to the trucks but never hung around to see how they get into the trucks. I'm adding this to my bucket list. I gotta see this in the wild.

We'll know when China is about to invade Taiwan?

 

I'm not so sure I agree with this article. They talk about "we'd see full mobilization". Why? An invasion of Taiwan wouldn't need the full military power of China. They talk about "surge production of precision weapons etc..." Again why? China's military production is already at what we would consider a wartime rate. To surge beyond that would seem unnecessary. Long story short? I don't agree. I believe China could pull off a "snap invasion" and catch the world off guard.

Russian internal security is getting barbaric...no mercy. WARNING GRAPHIC

20-foot ISO container with 126 cells HERO loitering munitions vertical launch system by Rheinmetall.

The next war is gonna be absolutely horrendous for a couple of months before we go stone age......

Neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI)...riding the lightning is no joke...I was sore for two weeks after certification

Like the title says, I was sore for two weeks! I'd rather be pepper sprayed. BUT!!!! Watching people lock up and face plant makes me cringe. Yeah its less than lethal and lower on the spectrum than going hands on but damn it people put themselves in terrible positions. The pain from the NMI, the soreness after and add to it it the idiocy they endure cause of their actions that cause them to plant themselves in all kinds of shit? Fight the issue in courts folks, not on the streets!

I know many on this blog aren't paying attention to it but Trump is going to get historic black support in the upcoming election...

They turned up the fire too quick and the black community finally noticed they were being boiled. Trump is doing the work to win black support and the Dems are nervous. I dare say they're damn near panicked. I couldn't be happier. The only thing that troubles me is that many Republicans in name only are going to be swept back into office when they should be punted with the rest. Interesting times and an important election.
