Apache Helicopter on track for major upgrades

A group of AH-64E version 6 Apache helicopters depart the Boeing manufacturing facilities at Mesa, Ariz. 13 January 2021 bound for Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Wash for delivery to the the 1-229th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion. The AH-64E Version 6.5 is the next version of the Apache Helicopter. Scheduled for first flight in the 2023, the technology enhancements will include upgrades in lethality, survivability, situational awareness, navigation, and communication. It also introduces an Open Systems Interface and paves the way for the eventual integration of the Improved Turbine Engine. (Courtesy)

Don't want to deploy, PT or deal with anything "military" while in the military? Go trans and the DoD is yours!

 

Thanks to Cogitans Iuvenis for the link! 

NOTE. Easier just to share it on Twitter and then you guys follow the link to get to read the madness.

The trans movement within the gay movement is gonna setback the entire movement.

Trans people are just pushing too far and their enablers are not setting limits.  The American people will soon enough.

The DoD is screwed though.  You have generals that know better that are sanctioning this shit.  Fuck them all and I hope their children serve so they can feel the full force of their decisions.

There will be no crisis response void. If the USMC won't do it then the Army gladly will

 

If you haven't been paying attention then let me be the one to tell you. While the USMC has been pushing Force Design 2030, otherwise known as coast watcher/WW2 coast defense battalions for the modern era, the 82nd has been ramping up its crisis response exercises. Most of their exercises are shaped around crisis response.

Its obvious that if the USMC won't do it then the 82nd Airborne will.

Even more ominous?

You're seeing the 101st doing the same and we haven't even talked about the 173rd in Italy.

The DoD and the American public abhor a vacuum, especially in defense.

It really looks like the Marine Corps abandoned this mission, the 82nd picked it up and once caught on their bullshit the Marine Corps is trying to get back in the game.

It's probably too late now though.  You can't go from being a totally defensive, small unit, recon/counter recon outfit back into door kickers and life takers.

Ukrainians didn't read the room right. They were demanding when they should have been humble...

This ain't the first time I've seen reports like this, this week. I didn't comment on them because they were on individual twitter accts but its reached critical mass and needs to be talked about. People are tired of this war, tired of the demands for more, more, more and they're tired of the group think surrounding this thing. Even Brazil's President has said that people are tired of this clusterfuck.

I believe there is nothing complicated about this.

People are tired of gyrating from crisis to crisis.

If there isn't an obvious one then there is a created one.  I can do the tick tock of things in the US that they're using to rile the public but it spans the gamut.  From trans to climate change to military issues, no matter what your interests are they have a crisis ready made to get you spinning.

I really believe that chaos is the goal.  

They want us distracted (with the help of the USELESS news media) while they attempt more control.

One example and I'll end this rant.  Remember Tik-Tok?  Remember how it was a national security issue and how we needed to ban Tik-Tok in order to protect ourselves from the Chinese?  Remember how the legislation had bipartisan support and it was headed for easy passage....UNTIL...we learned that it was a bill designed to spy on the American citizenry in ways that China's Tik-Tok didn't even push?

It's all about control.

Serbia showed that over reliance on tech could lead to mistakes.

* Combat Camera sucks ass. They don't know how to use pics to frame a story anymore. Don't know what happened, but the quality of their work has took a deep dive for the worse. How bad is it? GETTY won't be stealing public domain pics and trying to sell them anymore.
