Air Dominance is out. Air Denial is the new Airpower goal?

 via Defense News

Through a strategy of air denial, the United States would not seek to gain air superiority but instead work with allies and partners to implement a smarter defense-in-vertical depth approach, layering the effects of cyber disruptions, electromagnetic jamming, ground-based air defenses, drones and counter-air operations in increasing degrees of strength, from higher to lower altitudes.

Here 

Wow.

You do know what this really means don't you?  It means that the Air Force is (and consider this a rollout of the new concept) giving up on the idea of air superiority against a peer threat (namely China).

Instead of seeking air superiority or the more arrogant form...air dominance, they're lowering expectations and telling us all (to include American Ground Forces) that air denial will have to be enough.

This is huge.

US ground forces should prepare poste haste for the reality that they're going to face not only artillery, missile artillery and drones...BUT ALSO air attacks by manned aircraft.

Can you imagine the carnage that a Chinese equivalent of a B-52 arc light strike would have on an armored, mech or infantry division?

Is the nation even capable of bouncing back from a massive attack on our ground forces (because the Air Force couldn't stop them) from the air that eradicated an entire division?

Heads would roll in the Pentagon.

Note.  This article is pushing the deterrence narrative but the reality is that if deterrence doesn't work then the fight is on.

I am open to future warfare. I want to know more about loitering munitions...a big item in the USMC's next budget...

 via Defense News.

It also tested organic precision fires — or loitering munitions — in a larger vehicle-mounted and a lighter infantry-operated form factor, hitting moving targets 89 kilometers (55 miles) away.

Deputy Commandant talking about the future USMC budget here 

Read the whole article.  To be blunt it didn't capture my attention much and quite honestly I thought it was alot of bullshit about a concept that I remain unsold on.

Stand In Force.

Recon/Counter Recon.

As concepts I believe they'll fade away soon enough and are probably being swept away by Chinese planners as we speak.  If not by them then by our so called allies in the region (like the Solomon islands that are pro-Chinese...we didn't know we were behind the eight ball till it was a done deal...I expect that is happening all over the Pacific...these countries aren't on our side, they'll wait to see who wins and deal with whoever that is!).

But hitting moving targets at 55 miles?  Without calling in Division Artillery?

Fucking awesome.

I want to know more about that and the plans for that capability. The Light Amphibious Warship?  Navy ain't buying on that.  35 of them?  The Marine Corps is smoking crack.  The Navy would rather buy more frigates and destroyers...the Marine Corps will have to do with the ships it has.

The queen is dead. RIP.

The queen is dead.

May she rest in peace.  

While I feel the same sorrow for her passing as I do when anyone that I don't loses a loved one, I don't understand the outpouring of sympathy for her in the US.

We were not her subjects.

Yet we are seeing speeches from OUR Senate floor about her.

They have my sympathy but I don't get it for the US and the grief that our leadership is expressing.

Not hating.

Just not understanding.

UK to repeal ban on fracking...

Ya know what we're gonna see in just a bit? We're gonna see reality after all these freakish, idiotic, stupid and morally repugnant ideas get shown to be the batshit craziness they are. Why did it even get as far as it did? Because of the old meme of Good times making soft, stupid people, and then those soft, stupid people make hard times, and finally those hard times make hard people.

The sad part?

We're just at the beginning of the hard times.  Every govt institution is filled with morons that will make life a living hell. It will take the entire country to be on the verge of raising holy hell before they finally realize how silly they've been.

Unfortunately the stupid, moronic institutions include the US military.  I pray they don't go to war because I have NO DOUBT that they will get rolled in the next war.  Not like the past either.  Not because politicians squandered the hard work but because this woke military ain't worth a bucket of hot dogshit.

But back on task.

Europe is just now wrapping its brains around the dire energy situation.  I'm sure the massive buildup in arms shipments from the US (yeah I've been monitoring it) to Ukraine has an eye toward winning/ending the war before winter.

The calculation has been made that the public will start replacing govts when the full effects of the sanctions in the West start showing up.

But its already too late.

Watch for spoiling actions.  Watch for the Russians to fight delaying actions.  Witness the Russians allow the Ukrainians to get overextended and then watch the losses flow in.

I mean FUCK BRO!  We've seen offenses in this war.  They always start off magnificently then they bog down, then the attacking side loses ground and finally the lines stabilize and we're in a modern day WW1.

Meanwhile the UK and the rest of Europe will be fucked.  Govts will fall because the DEEP RECESSION will start and the people in the West will become restless because the SHEEPLE will realize that they've been lied to again.

EU will propose a "mandatory target for reducing electricity use at peak hours" in order to "flatten the curve."

I swear to God, if I hear an American politician talk about "flattening" the curve then it might be hunting time! Just kidding but geez. Fool me once!
