Is the VBCI the most underrated IFV in the west?

Patria AMV

The size difference between Japan's Patria AMV & the older Type-96 is crazy!

 

I know armor is increasing so does that explain the size explosion across the board? Almost every IFV/AFV coming online is magnitudes bigger than its predecessor.

Ok Mr President this is a little over the top bro....chill it down a bit sir!

Damn! Our president has his fangs dug into the floorboard and he seems to be getting a hardon for the Iranians. He's sounding like a liquored up Gunny finding out his third marriage is ending cause Jody is undefeated. 

Note:  Everyone is flipping over the light profanity.  That's not the wildest part of this.  The absolute CRAZY, pissing in the mouth of your enemy is the part "Praise be to Allah."  That is the part that is pissing the Iranians off.  To be honest its also giving them a little pause.  The psychological warfare of this thing is huge.

How should we handle "citizen" journalism?

 Got burned and not for the first time last night.

Social media blew up with reports that the IRGC had captured our guy.  Like a fucking idiot I fell for it and post a rage post.  

Little while later reports from some dudes connected with the Special Ops community and a few mouth pieces for the administration (both sides have those) came out saying we had recovered our guy.

This is a tough one for me.

On one hand we have carefully curated info passed onto us from every govt on the planet.  To say that info is many times incomplete (at best) is being too kind.

On the other hand we see citizen journalist with a definite political lean (myself included) that either knowingly, meaning they're acting on behalf of their political masters to get the news out that conforms  with their beliefs/agenda or unknowingly, meaning they believe a certain thing and will pass along news that agree with their beliefs.

How do you deal with this trickiness?

I think you post what hits, if you find out its not true correct it and then move on. What do you guys think?

My belief is that raw unsanitized news is important.  You got a better way then tell me.

Aftermath of the rescue op...stuck C-130s at a makeshift airfield that were destroyed since they couldn't be removed

Two stuck C-130's at a makeshift airfield? Tell me the Rangers were there without saying it out loud. Wonder who else went. Delta/ST-6? One of those outfits most definitely. MARSOC? Not sure at all. Maybe if the fight got big enough (which is why I want a good definition of a "big" firefight..especially for these groups). The outlier for me are the Air Force units. Red Horse dudes aren't considered Special Ops but this is supposed to be their thing. Air Force Security Forces to guard the airfield? Maybe but I doubt it. They'd just use what's left of the Special Ops dudes to do that. Combat Controllers were certainly there. Air Force Special Recon? I think so.  Combat Weather?  Only if they needed more shooters and they're Special Ops qualified.

They've come a long way from the disaster in the desert so many many years ago.

Well done.

But I still want details!

How do you define a "heavy" firefight?

A modern day squad can put down some impressive fire. At what point does it become a "heavy" firefight. Asking cause I REALLY DON'T KNOW!

Now reports are that he made it out and we have our guy. Citizen journalism is far from perfect. Waiting for the "legacy" media to confirm

OK the second crewmember was given shelter by "allied" Iranians. Vicious clashes between TRAP/CSAR personnel and IRGC forces

 

Every villager needs to be given asylum. They saved one of ours, we save them. It's only proper. Oh and we need to get this over with. Actually putting hands on our people and getting this war done.

What is the deal with us not having found our second aviator???

 You read the title so you know the question.

I'm a layman so I don't know but I thought those bubbas had transponders or whatever you call the apple device that lets you track your shit and sat phones so they could be found if shot down and at least talk to HQ.

Additionally we have so many assets in the area that I just can't wrap my brain around the idea that we don't where he/she is.

Could a faction have captured him?  Even if that is the sad possibility we have damn near a Ranger Battalion in the region along with Delta or Seal Team 6 and around 5K Marines that can perform perimeter security if captured.

If they died during ejection then we should have the body.

I just don't get this.

If this joker is deep in Iran having to escape and evade then God bless him.  That's got to be a rough ride.

Either way I'm kinda shocked we haven't yanked him back yet.

We've used up so much of warstock on Iran that NOW is the time for China to attack Taiwan (if I were them)

 

This is kinda a good news bad news story in my view. First it shows just how low a stock pile we had and how much we drain ourselves fighting these minor wars (no war is minor but you get the idea). We've SUPPOSEDLY been gearing up to fight China (which is foolish on its face....we have too many obligations as it is we've got to prioritize) but Ukraine has been milking us dry, the European allies in the support of Ukraine have been milking us dry and the Oct 7th war that Israel fought sunk us to horrible levels.

Now you add Iran to the mix and we're in a serious hurt locker.  There is a reason why Trump is pushing for a huge defense budget plus up.

The pantry is bare, and we will only have Japan & Australia in a fight against China.

We're gonna have to rethink our drink on this one.  There is only one nation that can help us reach our goals in a timely manner.  Correction there are only TWO nations that can help us reach our goals quickly.

S. Korea and Turkey.

Turkey is gonna be problematic because of our activities in the Middle East.  I don't think they're gonna be in the mood to help.

S. Korea could help us across the board from munitions to warships but for some reason the Pentagon has a European bent.  S. Korea is in my opinion the world leader in missile tech and they can resupply other munitions quickly.  They have a strong shipbuilding industry and could help reinvigorate our fleet quickly.

We have options but we need to do it NOW!~

The fucking enemy gets a vote. F-15 shot down/search and rescue ops underway...

This sucks but is part of the thing. Iran is big. You're talking about a possible LONG RANGE TRAP MISSION. And that mission is gonna be over territory that shot down an F-15 so you know our V-22s/CH-53s/CH-47s are vulnerable as hell. Additionally we're down tankers and since we don't want our aircrew slaughtered by savages or captured and paraded on YouTube/Tik-Tok/Instagram that means (at least in my mind) every other aerial operation is on pause to support this effort. I'm assuming that we have every recon asset circling the downed airplane which make me wonder if they're even putting together a package to track our people if they were captured and to go rescue them. 

 The biggest WTF in my mind is that it was claimed we had air superiority so why are our crews flying low enough to get hit? What is going on with our countermeasures? If Iran can knock down our planes after we've destroyed our air force then what the fuck is going on?
