The NATO Kosovo Force suffered at least 3 critically injured (Italian Soldiers)

Eitan Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier finally goes into service.

This is the BEST wheeled armored personnel carrier in the world. Add a proper turret (which is planned) and it becomes the best infantry fighting vehicle wheeled in the world. The Israelis did it again.

NATO Kosovo Force kinda looks like they got their ass kicked. Plus I'm seeing a 101st Airborne Combat Patch in the pics...

NATO Kosovo Forces are in the middle of it...

Always a bad sign when external forces involve themselves in local politics. This mission has been going on for years with no end in sight. I contend that the reason why we have so many wars is because we never allow wars to become TOTAL wars. No conclusion, no resolution so no peace is possible despite the fighting. We've normalized warfare.

China says 24 hypersonic missiles should be enough to destroy a Carrier Battle Group

If this is true then that would be the most cost efficient destruction of battle winning use of weaponry at sea in the history of man.

Pick your poison. Mk-12, Mk-18 or CB-90?

 

Mk12.  I consider it a fast landing craft that CAN flex into patrol.
Mk18.  Dual purpose landing craft/patrol vessel.  Probably biased more toward the long range fast landing craft.
CB90. Alot of people are gonna hate it but I consider this a patrol vessel with a secondary landing craft ability.  Load it up with machine guns, mortars, anti-tank missiles and I have to wonder why SEAL Delivery Teams aren't using it!




So what is your choice for Marine/Army units in the Pacific. Yeah I included the Army cause you just know they'll be equipping the 25th ID with some type of insertion boat. Remember the DoD abhors a vacumm.
