Favorite old skool plane that the USMC should have bought but didn't....Convair Charger

A few more R3Y Tradewind pics

*Just clearing the PC of pics. Decided they could be saved in the blog photos and be online for all instead of hidden in a folder I hardly look at...

If HQMC was serious about Force Design 2030, they'd dust off the old blueprints to this beast and modernize it asap....Convair R3Y Tradewind

Title was click bait but that's some spooky sounding shit.

What was this Royal Navy Sub doing? If the tiles on boats is the same on planes then this thing was running fast and deep....rode hard as hell!

I thought our stuff came back looking rough. This boat looks like its seen the bad side of hell and has a story to tell. How do the tiles on boats work? Is it like planes and they wear off due to high speed/deep stuff or is it normal wear and tear?

I stand by it. Lightning is more effective than pepper spray

I stand by it. Lightning is more effective than pepper spray and gives a better life lesson. Been pepper sprayed? Yep. 30-45 min of pain and clear ass sinuses. Been tased? Yep. Pain and locked the fuck up, then two weeks of muscle soreness. If you have to take your pick of getting hit by one pick pepper spray. You can fight thru that. If lightning works on ya (nothing is 100%) then you're food on a plate.

We're gonna witness one of these streamers getting killed real soon...

How does the Littoral Regiment deter this type of Chinese behavior???

BREAKING:

A Chinese Coast Guard vessel has rammed a Philippine Coast Guard near the Escoda Shoal, which is in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

The Chinese attacks against the Philippines, a U.S. military ally since 1951, continue.

IF FUCKING DOESN'T. THE SEA BATTLE IS AN AIR & NAVAL FIGHT. GROUND FORCES ARE SPECTATORS UNLESS A LANDING IS ATTEMPTED OR REPULSED! WAKE THE FUCK UP HQMC!!! Berger and his bitch boy Smith should have fucked with the Wing. The ground side is the wrong tool for the job they have in mind.

The caption is right. This is 0 to 100 in 2.5 seconds (no gun play on camera so still a "friendly" stop)

Amphibious Combat Vehicle Route Verification.....by Lance Cpl. Kendrick Jackson

 Note.  The Commandant says that tanks are no longer viable.  Ok. Then how are APCs viable if more heavily armored vehicles are not. He talks about needing more missile artillery but cuts cannon.  How does that make sense if we're being informed by the Ukraine conflict where tanks & cannon artillery is viable (in the case of cannon artillery extremely important).  Continuing with the ACV in light of Smith & Berger's new Marine Corps makes no sense.

USMC Infantry will not survive the pacing threat.  Anytime the Chinese face US Marines they'll close with & destroy Marine formations with shock, maneuver and firepower....US Army armored units will stand a chance but will be too busy fighting for their own survival to bail out the Marines.

Damn! The Commandant basically said that the Marine Corps is for "China only"...other theaters are low priority for the Marine Corps!

 The Commandant's Planning Guidance is here.  Read it all.  

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A COMMANDANT CALLING "OTHER THEATERS LOW PRIORITY" and that due to the planning guidance, everything must be redone to deal with China and only China.

He also used the term "we're on the righteous path" with Force Design.

That's damn near religious dogma.  This fucker is a true believer in Force Design 2030.

I said it would take a generation to unfuck the Corps.  Add another 20 years to that.  The enemy is inside the wire and somehow they were put in charge.

This is a part of the Trump Arlington story that isn't being told...

 

NBC SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

Pokrovsk front is in collapse

 Thanks to NOBLE for the link!

via Reddit

At this stage, I would say its safe to say the Pokrovsk front is in collapse. All reports point to Ukrainian command in this area being in complete disarray, unable to properly plan the defence nor respond to the rapidly changing situation. Ukrainian units are understrength, underarmed, and having to man an increasingly large stretch of front line, when they were already having issues holding when the front here was much smaller, and they were in strong defensive positions. Individual units are retreating, surrendering or being cut off without communicating to one another, leading to numerous gaps in the front line, and soldiers being wiped out (killed, wounded or captured) by the quickly moving Russian force, who are leveraging the chaos to make great progress.

Ukraine is losing multiple settlements every week, including towns that should have been able to hold for months. Their Vovcha River defence line, a heavily fortified line which I have spoken about at length this year, is being rapidly undone, with Ukrainian forces unable to handle Russian assaults coming from behind it. With this line falling, Ukraine is losing its best defensive position in central Donetsk Oblast, and has few defences set up further west to fall back to.

3 critically important cities are either already being assaulted, or under imminent threat of assault, which will result in a severe degradation, or outright cutoff, of supplies to a huge proportion of the frontline in Donetsk. There are tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers whose supplies run through those areas, who will be forced to retreat if/when those cities fall, if they are not killed or captured before they can.

Here

This is a stunning read.

I wondered why the Russians haven't launched a vicious counter attack against Ukrainian forces but now I know.

The assault in Russia will be dealt with in due time.

Seizing even more Ukrainian territory is on the menu right now. They can simply hold on their own land and when the time is right destroy those units in total.

Additionally Russia continues to attack Ukrainian power generation plants.

Winter is coming and its gonna hurt.
