I have no idea what's with those plates they have welded onto the sides of this vehicle. GD is saying they just got a contract to upgrade the Abrams so maybe it's gonna get some new armor?

Politics Talk. Trump's DACA move was brilliant on a couple of levels...
By now you've heard about Trump's decision on DACA. All weekend we saw interviews was college students, public servants, first responders and small business owners.
They brought out the best and brightest of this demographic to make the case but even with all that the basics of the issue remain the same. Whether it was by their own choice or their parents they broke the law.
The strawman that we need to come up with a comprehensive solution to the issue is correct. But an executive order that basically grants amnesty (even though its conditional) is NOT the way to do things.
The stark reality? Humanity, happy feelings and public perception should NEVER take a back seat to the rule of law.
What do I mean? Take a murderer for example. When they commit the crime they're at their most savage. No mercy (obviously), only filled with bloodlust. So what happens at trial? They're dressed up in their sunday best, friends and family are paraded in front of the jury and we're told (in my way of saying things) that the person had an "oh shit" moment and that the law should cut them a break.
THAT'S WRONG!
It ignores the pain of the family AND it ruins the social contract.
That's what DACA was doing. That's what our current immigration stance is doing. It's prioritizing the illegal over the native born.
That can't continue.
But even better with this move by Trump is that he's put Congress in their place. McCain was widely patted on the back declaring that Congress is an equal branch of the govt and SHOULD NOT be subservient to the President.
Well guess what McCain fans.
Now you have your chance.
A campaign promise was fulfilled and Congress gets to do more than just sit on the sideline and talk shit. They have to roll up their sleeves and do work.
It was a brilliant move. Plus he isn't tweeting like an idiot today. Maybe, just maybe the dude is FINALLY getting his sea legs.
We'll see.

Rosomak 6x6 with SPIKE NLOS launchers in anti armor configuration
Thanks to Galvars for the pic!
Wow. I remember getting excited about a 6x6 version of the Patria AMV a couple of years ago but it seemed like it was just vaporware. The Marine Corps is all about aviation and ONLY aviation but the dream me and many readers had was for a 6x6 version of the winner of the ACV contest that would give LAR a real deal amphibious vehicle that could swim from ship to shore and still be light enough to lift by helo (really a useless capability in combat but nice to dream).
Now Galvars hits me with the Rosomak in the same configuration with Spike anti-tank missiles (is anyone else noticing that the "dual" configuration is giving away to "quad packs"?).
Is the dream alive?

USAF Academy Football Team wearing F-35A "themed" helmets.
Thanks to Tim for the link!
via Yahoo.com
The Falcons will wear special helmets honoring the F-35 fighter jet for a game this season. The pattern on the football helmets is designed to replicate the helmets the pilots of the jets wear.Just plain wow.
The first version of the special design was released Monday and the rest of them will be released the rest of the week. From Air Force’s site:
The helmet will have five different designs, the first of which was unveiled today. Follow @AFFootball as the remaining four helmets will be revealed Sept. 5-8. On one side of every helmet will be the familiar Air Force logo often seen on aircraft, which includes the length-wise bars intersecting the roundel. On the other side will be a decal representing one of the five Air Force F-35-A operational fighter squadrons in the Air Force.
This is interesting. You would think that if the program is as "rock steady" and "unkillable" as we're being told, then they wouldn't have to resort to this type of weirdness.
Considering how the AF Academy is projected to do this year maybe they do need this type of flash to keep morale up.
Panavia Tornado F.Mk 3, the best interceptor of its era? via HushKit.
HushKit is back with its four military aircraft myths and British readers will be punching walls. Read it here, but check this portion out...
“The Stage 3 standard which retired from service in 2011 was light years ahead of that of the F2. At its demise, the F3 was armed with the C-5 standard AMRAAM and ASRAAM missiles, a capable Foxhunter which had automatic track-while-scan, JTIDS data link, secure radios, better identification systems and capable electronic warfare equipment including a radar homing and warning receiver, towed radar decoy, chaff and flares and a Phimat chaff pod. The situation awareness enjoyed by the crews was, arguably, better than even the latest generation American platforms. Regrettably, it still lacked the performance when carrying its role equipment particularly carrying 2250 litre tanks in the upper air but with improved situation awareness and long range weapons, the crew should not have been drawn into the visual arena…if it had been employed against an aggressive opponent, the results would undoubtedly have been surprising as it is unwise to underestimate an opponent. The standard which retired was one of the most capable fighters in the world and, with further enhancements would have been extremely effective.”Just wow. Conventional wisdom is wrong. Well, its wrong if these guys are right.
Agile Spirit 17 soon to kick off.
The above vid shows Marine Corps gear being offloaded from ships in the European state of Georgia and being transported by rail. So what the hell is Agile Spirit 17? Check out this press advisory from DVIDS...
Approximately 500 U.S. military personnel have arrived in the Republic of Georgia to take part in Exercise Agile Spirit 17. This is the seventh iteration of the annually-scheduled multilateral exercise designed to enhance U.S., Georgian and regional partner interoperability and strengthen understanding of each nation’s tactics, techniques and procedures. Agile Spirit 17 is led by U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa and will include both a multinational brigade-level command post exercise and a multinational battalion-level combined arms live-fire field training exercise. Various units from the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army will participate in the exercise along with approximately 1,000 service members from the Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bulgarian, Latvian, Romanian, and Ukrainian armed forces. The exercise is scheduled to end on or about Sept. 15, 2017.So why bring this up?
To prove my point about the craziness of the media getting spun up about Russian exercises.
We've run numerous exercises in Europe this year. They're under different banners too. Sometimes its under NATO, sometimes they're bilateral and sometimes they're part of the EU Defense contraption.
Russia is doing their thing in their upcoming exercise.
So what.
We've been running exercises all over that continent this entire year.
Utah Policeman vs Emergency Room Nurse drama and James Yeager's take.
I've been waiting on this one. I saw it when it first came out and everyone has been talking about it.
What I've been looking for is the meme clowns. You know the guys that run around with the thin blue line American flags on their trucks and on their blogs...I've been waiting to see the reaction from them.
Additionally I've been waiting to see how Salt Lake City deals with this. Will the guy keep his job?
Still.
James Yeager's take on this thing took me by surprise. I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS expected him to take such a strident position. He's running a training business and he will face some blowback on this one.
The whole Utah Policeman vs Emergency Room Nurse drama just got alot more interesting. For better or worse Yeager is going to force a response. It'll be interesting to see which side of the fence people get on. Of particular interest will be those that back the blue, right or wrong. More to come I'm sure.
Note. Yes this falls under an "oh shit" moment. A pretty bad one and luckily no one was injured (although the vid showing the nurse seems to indicate that she's probably a bit traumatized). Yep. The "internal investigation" will be telling.
Well Done C. Co. 4th AABn! You did good work and carried the Marine Corps banner nicely!....Photo by Pfc. Samantha Schwoch

| U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Robert Ross, section leader of Charlie Company, 4th Assault Amphibian Battalion, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, is welcomed back from his children at U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Center, Galveston, Texas after several days of search and rescues operations in immediate response to Hurricane Harvey on Sept. 3, 2017. 4th AAV Bn spent the week assisting in disaster relief efforts with the Galveston Fire Department, rescuing over 300 people, executing multiple medical evacuations, and delivering supplies. |
I can imagine there is a planner running around HQMC that had visions of MV-22's swooping in and capturing the imagination of the American people while at the same time putting critics of the concept like me in our place.
I can imagine they're all huddled in a corner right now saying....
What happened instead?
A group of reservists. Marines in C. Co. 4th AABn, responded to the call in a timely manner. They had their rigs in proper running order as they should be and they were ready to go at the drop of a hat.
We saw all sorts of emergency responders. Law Enforcement/other first responders, Border Patrol, Customs, Wildlife & Game Enforcement, Coast Guard, US Army National Guard, US Army Reserve, USAF, USAF Reserve, US Navy...the list goes on.
At the presser that the NorthCom Commander gave with the Texas Governor she rattled off agency after agency and when she got to the Marines she stated that the 26th MEU would be enroute...if needed.
It was enough to make me want to punch walls.
When the American people needed our help we were nowhere to be found while every other swinging dick and lopsided ovary was scrambling all over the place.
But then John sent me a link to some pics and videos posted online of C. Co. 4th AABn doing work. Doing good work and my heart sang. Those bubbas were convoying thru the small towns to provide disaster relief and people were stopping and cheering them on. Do you know how good it is to hear some say "Fuck yeah those are US Marines"!
Well fucking done C. Co. 4th AABn. You have earned every bit of that humanitarian medal you should be about to receive in a couple of months. But even more than that you did the deed, when needed, NOT on a foreign shore but here in America. Additionally you carried the banner for the Marine Corps. America's force in readiness was NOT ready for this disaster but an element of it was. Again. Well done C. Co.!
Note. Lessons learned? Whoever we have working our NorthCom desk either needs to be retrained or fired. To think that we weren't ramped up to the same extent as the other services is unthinkable. It's totally unsat. If we're gonna waste money having people assigned to that command HQ then we better be more into the loop so that we can meet the needs of the American people during times of crisis. You can't get ready. You have to BE READY.

WarHammer News. A few things aren't adding up with this N. Korea missile crisis (the latest episode at least)!
I've been watching coverage of the N. Korean nuclear test and a few things just aren't adding up and NO ONE is asking the questions. What do I mean?
1. We've always gotten word of an upcoming nuke test BEFORE it happens. This time nada. Complete silence until the US Geological Agency registered the ground shake.
2. Mattis just made a statement and Dunford stood with him before the gaggle of reporters this afternoon. Whatever is being planned it's being driven by the Pentagon, and the State Dept is nowhere to be found.
3. How did N. Korea suddenly make these huge jumps in nuclear weapons tech in just the time that Trump has been in office? That "warning" from Obama to Trump wasn't a case of Obama playing Nostradamus, he knew something...the US intel agencies knew something along with the Dept of Defense and no one told us (the public).
4. They're reaching for the sanctions card? Seriously? Head over to the US Treasury Dept's sanctions list. It's damn near legion already. N. Korea is for the most part self contained and the people that we need to get onboard have their own agendas. With Russia we can probably bargain. It would take swallowing a bit of crow and forcing Congress to get head out of ass but lifting sanctions on them for Ukraine and getting their assistance with N. Korea seems possible (probably take alot of work but war on the peninsula is the price of failure). The wild card are those damn Chinese. They're playing all hands against each other and doing the "smile in your face stab you in the back thing". China needs to be punished to get them onboard but that would take starting a trade war. The good thing if they have the balls to follow thru with it? It could weaken the current Chinese leader and destroy their economy (ours will take a big hit too and suburbanites will whine about not getting their widgets but I don't really care).
Something is off with this whole crisis.
It's almost like N. Korea wants the fight and so does the US.
Prediction stands. Bombs start dropping and missiles start launching in winter late this year/early next.
Note. Gotta find the article but supposedly there was talk of a limited strike against high profile installations that they hoped wouldn't lead to a larger war. I'll try and find it.

Breaking! N. Korea conducts ANOTHER nuke test.
N. Korea conducted another nuke test early this morning. Seems like this will be pushed no matter what.
I wonder if Putin and the French Foreign Minister had some kind of intel this would happen? I'm sure they did which means that American officials did too.
WarHammers are out!
My prediction remains the same. Some time this winter.

Patria Nemo Container - a heavy mortar system with high mobility (vid)
Could this fit on an MTVR extended bed like the Sea Bees use? Maybe the Load Handling System?
Is the CH-53K worth the price when we could buy the CH-47 at less than half the price?
First lets take a look back at an article I posted a couple of day ago...
Naval Air Systems Command awarded Sikorsky $304 million for the first two CK-53K King Stallion heavy-lift helicopters for the Marine Corps.I highlighted what I consider the pertinent information. We are paying $304 million dollars for TWO (2) helicopters. The second is that these are LOT I aircraft.
Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, will build these two Lot I aircraft in its Stratford, Conn., facility, and the work should be completed by December 2021.
Drink that in.
We're gonna pay one hundred fifty two million dollars each for a heavy lift helicopter. What do we get with the 53K that we wouldn't get with the CH-47F? Well I got a few slides from Boeing's presentation to the German AF and it's pretty interesting. Check out the slides below (I admit up front that this is Boeing's argument against a Lockheed product but put that aside and wait till the end to judge).
Interesting huh? But kinda irrelevant. We know the Chinook is superior in those realms for one reason. It's rotor configuration. What matters in the "aviation centric" Marine Corps (besides hot and high performance...that was once HUGE for the USMC) is speed and range.
The CH-47F goes along at 170 knot or 196 mph. It has a combat radius of 200 nmi (230 miles) , a ferry range of 1,216 nmi (1,400 miles) and a range of 400 nmi (450 miles) . Finally it can lift 55 troops, 24 liters w/3 attendants or 24,000 pounds.Admittedly all these figures are from Wikipedia, but if you have clearly better sources I'm all ears.
The CH-53K has a speed of 170 knots (196 mph). It has a combat radius of 110 nmi (126 miles) with a ferry range of *NOT LISTED* but a combat radius of 460 nmi (529 miles). It can lift 55 troops, liters are *NOT LISTED* or 35,000 pounds.
Operating with what we know, the CH-53K is only MARGINALLY better than the CH-47F and EXTREMELY MORE EXPENSIVE than it's Army counterpart.
Now to the question.
Is one CH-53K at around 100 million dollars each (and I'm taking into account cost reduction...pretty significant cost reductions to get it down to 100 million dollars) worth two CH-47F's at around 40 million (yep I got that figure from Wikipedia but they have EXCELLENT documentation to back up that number)?
My answer is NO! Not only no but hell no!
Second question, and don't shower me with bullshit. How can the Marine Corps justify the cost of this helicopter? If you're a supporter of this program HOW CAN YOU justify it's cost?
I look forward to the fan club's response!
WarHammer News. N. Korea says they have developed a more advanced hydrogen bomb.
via Reuters.
North Korea said on Sunday it has developed a more advanced nuclear weapon that has “great destructive power” and leader Kim Jong Un inspected a hydrogen bomb that will be loaded on a new intercontinental ballistic missile.Story here.
The hydrogen bomb’s power is adjustable to hundreds of kilotons and can be detonated at high altitudes, with its indigenously produced components allowing the country to build as many nuclear weapons as it wants, the North’s official KCNA news agency said.
War politics. US planes block route agreed on by Russia/Syria for ISIS fighters.
via Reuters.
U.S.-led warplanes on Wednesday blocked a convoy of Islamic State fighters and their families from reaching territory the group holds in eastern Syria and struck some of their comrades traveling to meet them, a coalition spokesman said.Story here.
The strikes were aimed at stopping an evacuation deal for Islamic State fighters to leave their enclave on the Lebanon-Syria border for areas they hold in eastern Syria, arranged by the Lebanese Hezbollah group and the Syrian army.
It was part of a ceasefire agreed after offensives last week by the Lebanese army on one front, and the Syrian army and Hezbollah on another, that pushed Islamic State back into a small part of its enclave straddling the frontier.
Have you been keeping up with this drama? I have and don't know what to make of it.
No. This isn't slamming US actions.
This is about me being confused by all the twists and turns in this conflict.
None of this makes any sense. The US allows ISIS oil trucks to go thru without any complaint. Some believe that these oil shipments helped fuel ISIS during the hey-day of their rampage.
Then we have the Russians and Syrians agreeing to let ISIS escape after they've been involved in some pretty brutal fighting. They have the bastards cornered and they let them go instead of raining the most massive artillery barrage in the history of man?
I don't understand the fighting in Syria/Iraq and neither do you. We're seeing geo-political gamesmanship on the next level.
What I'd like to know is what is the desired end state. Obviously the US still has a policy of trying to rid Syria of Assad but what else is going on???
Sputnik lists the FGM-172 Short-Range Assault Weapon (SRAW) as the most accurate short range anti-tank missile...
via Sputnik.
The Most AccurateStory here.
Giving credit where credit is due, Kotz wrote that the US single-shot FGM-172 Short-Range Assault Weapon (SRAW) missile system takes the prize for being the most accurate portable anti-armor system in the list. "The system was adopted by the US Marine Corps in 2002 as a simpler and cheaper alternative to the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile system. Its main advantage is the possibility to work according to principle of 'fire-and-forget'."
As far as targeting is concerned, "it's enough for the gunner to track the target for two-three seconds and launch, after which the weapon's automatic controls kick in." The missile is able to independently account for wind speed and other factors, "and capable of hitting tanks in their upper hemisphere (usually a tank's least protected area)."
This is an interesting read. What caught my attention isn't the click bait above but the info on the RPG-29/30.
This is the weapon that gave the US military all kinds of fits when we discovered that the terrorists in Iraq were able to penetrate the sides of the Abrams with it.
This is what started all the "street fighter" up-armoring programs you see around the world. From the various TUSK packages for the Abrams to the Urban Leopard 2A7 and even the French got in on it with their LeClerc.
My personal belief is that it isn't the crew served anti-tank missiles that have the armored community worried. Those can be easily suppressed. It's the lone bubba lurking with a capable light weight system that's been trained and is capable of hitting weak spots that give tankers the willies.

Brilliant PR move by the President live on TV!
I just got finished lifting, come back home and what do I see? The President and first lady are doing a photo op of serving food to hurricane victims.
It's fucking brilliant.
You have mixed crowd of people. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics and others are all talking and taking pics with the President.
As usual, and much to my embarrassment, you have a rather large black lady shouting "Thank you Jesus" as she poses with a pic of the President.
This is crazy, brilliant and whoever thought of it deserves a raise. The news media can't spin this in any way other than the guy being out in the field talking to the citizens.
Will it erase all the crazy shit he's said in the past month? Hell no. Is it the right optics now? You bet your ass.

The next Marine Corps commercial? Combat footage and these pics of 4th AABn doing work!
Thanks to John for the pics!
Drink in those pics above.
Tap on the shoulder of some bubba at HQMC or Marine Corps recruiting command. Get them to take notice.
Small rant? I am SO FUCKING TIRED of the milktoast Marine Corps recruiting commercials. They don't sing. They don't inspire. They don't move. In short you don't watch the stuff they've been pumping out and feel your soul stir.
You want to get Marine Corps commercials back on track? You get some combat footage of our boys hookin' and jabbin' in Afghanistan and Iraq...and then you toss in these pics.
I'm gonna beat on this drum for two reasons. The first is that I'm ashamed that the Marine Corps wasn't forward leaning. Someone should have been ready to get these units deploying. The couple of news blurbs of MV-22's passing thru Pensacola on the way to Texas IS WEAK SAUCE. The aviation centric Marine Corps has failed again and the concept is trash (remember the HA/DR that the Marine Corps participated in where a UH-1Y crashed into the mountain...that was the first failure...it'll perform poorly in combat too...MARK MY WORDS!).
The second is that the Marine Corps missed a huge opportunity (although the 4th AABn is picking up the slack) to be seen aiding fellow Americans. National Guard? US Customs? Border Patrol? US Coast Guard? US Navy? US Army? All visible.
Thank God we had tracks moving to the sound of chaos or else we would be an afterthought!
