Rendering of new Chinese Heavy Attack Helicopter

Wait! Didn't Berger and his Force Design 2030 cronies state that we didn't need as many amphibious warships????

Apparently the "campaign of learning" has revealed that the Force Design 2030 cabal were wrong. Wonder how they're gonna claw back an effective Ground Combat Element after stripping it clean for a few anti-ship missiles? China won't fight in the Pacific. They'll fight elsewhere or have others do it for them. We are not ready. Our Marine Corps is not ready. Force Design is an evolutionary dead end. Only arrogance keeps those in leadership from seeing the truth. Target fixation is a helluva drug and WILL get you killed.

Tu-95s inbound to Ukraine. Massive cruise missile strike anticipated..

 

Didn't post it but I did see that the number of Russian strikes had decreased dramatically while at the same time the amount of cruise missiles, drones, artillery had increased dramatically. That post speculated that they were rationing for a massive strike. Are they planning a sustained bombardment at this moment or are they gonna wait for summer giving Ukraine a chance to properly prepare? I wonder why Ukraine hasn't emphasized the hardening of strategic sites like power generation plants etc...That would seem a no brainer, low hanging fruit and a cheap/easy way to get US/EU corporations into the country rebuilding even as the war rages.

To some current Marine Officers, General Gray doesn't matter. He doesn't have skin in the game...

The most awesome Commandant our Marine Corps ever had has passed.

Some talk about Saint Mattis?  Well Gray ranks higher!

I posted about a currently serving Marine Officer that continues to pound on the table that those with skin in the game (those that are currently on active duty) are the only ones whose opinions should count.

I'm glad General Gray wasn't around to read those disrespectful and idiotic words.

I thought we (my generation) were arrogant.  Chest puffed out.  Thought our shit don't stink.

We don't hold a candle to this new generation.

Have you noticed a trend in America today?  I thought it was just in society but its crept into the military and most worrying into the United States Marine Corps.

Its not enough for the "new" to dismiss the work and wisdom of  those that came before.

They also seek to humiliate and denigrate what they did during MUCH tougher times.

Weak men create bad times.  Bad times create strong men.

The Marine Corps will be strong again.  We just have to let these weak ass officers finish destroy the building and then strong men that have an appreciation for the past will come along and rebuild our beloved Corps.

There will never be another General Gray, but during the coming bad times we will hopeful build another one almost as good.

God Bless You General Gray.  Your memory is a blessing and I hope it brings joy to your family, Marines around the globe and a nation/officer corps that isn't wise enough to appreciate your work.

Russia/Ukraine war has brought back INDUSTRIAL warfare. We're not ready, our allies are not ready & our love affair with precision weapons will doom us...

Have you been keeping up with Russian air strikes? Yeah they've developed their version of guided bombs but the bigger concern is illustrated here. The Russians along with their Iranian (drones), N. Korean (ballistic missiles/artillery shells) and Chinese (only God knows what...their participation has been dramatically downplayed) have reintroduced the West to something we thought dead. Industrial warfare. The scariest thing in my opinion is that they're using our love affair with precision weapons to gain ground. The US and Allies continue to talk about precision guided weapons when we're seeing Russian forces blanket grid squares with artillery fire. They use simple drones to blanket an area and knock out priority target like energy production plants. Ya know whats crazy? Our infatuation with expeditionary warfare isn't helping. Do you remember a time when vehicles were proofed against 155mm shell fragments? Dispersion is fine but once located and the enemy destroys your grid square in order to hit you then dispersion at the last mile failed. We've got to adjust but it seems that the MIC will only provide for the most expensive instead of most effective solutions possible.

Shadow Six Typhoon

Website here. This ain't what the tweet said it was. A closer look seems to indicate that they attached two jet skis to that rig and linked the steering to the thing. I don't believe the thing is fully amphibious. From what I'm seeing you have to detach the jet skis and then mount the wheels before you're back to overland travel. A water going gulf cart. I don't even think SOCOM would be silly enough to buy this thing.

The awakening of employed black males is almost complete...but is it too late?

I welcome this awakening of employed black males but I have to wonder is it too little too late? Our replacements have already crossed the border and the Dems are already lining up to give those "new comers" everything they promised us in the past. Even Latinos that have been here for decades are alarmed by the unchecked illegal immigration. Did we get in the game after everything has already been decided and our participation will make NO difference? I fear we have.

This vid will be at EVERY law enforcement training academy in the US. This is the perfect example of WHAT NOT TO DO!

I might be being too hard in the title. This guy was totally defensive from the start of this thing. The assailant had already closed within knife distance. First rule in a knife fight. Make peace with the idea you will be cut. Maybe put his pistol in the dudes chest till you run dry and use your off arm to keep the knife at bay and to take the hits? What do ya'll think?

The most arrogant, condescending, idiotic thing I've ever heard a serving officer say...

So in order to get his precious Force Design 2030 across the finish line this stupid manchild of an officer wants to break the bond between Marines serving today and those that came before? Fucking awesome. FUCK THIS BASTARD AND THE NEW MARINE CORPS. They should reap everything they've sown.

Wow. If the number of rappers talking about voting for Trump is true then we're about to see a MASSIVE landslide this fall...

 

I've never seen anything like this. The number of rappers that are coming out saying "fuck Joe Biden" and that we (meaning black people) need to vote for Trump and how the Democrat party hasn't done anything but hurt us is amazing. If this is true then we're looking at a massive landslide. I just wonder if this "awakening" has come too late.

What is going on in France to have Macron shouting so hard for French soldiers in Ukraine?

 

Something must be going on domestically in France. Its the only thing that makes sense? Nothing else explains why Macron has turned into such a cheerleader for French troops on the ground in Ukraine.

Even worse?

He's talking about doing it solo but we all know the truth.

As soon as the French are engaged in combat they're gonna call for all of NATO to become involved.

THIS IS THE VERY REASON WHY NATO SHOULD BE DISBANDED!  It no longer serves a purpose as a defensive alliance and has actually become oriented toward something else (what that is I don't know but it ain't defense).

Everyone throws up the idea that we don't want Europe to develop a defense force.

I don't agree.

Europe should develop their own force and should deploy them as they see fit.

Taking the defense of Europe off our plate would do wonders for our budget and allow us to right size toward real priorities that actually demand our attention.

Where is AFRICOM? Niger is about to kick us out of our base there...

We should have been all over this. AFRICOM should have been all over this. ISIS, AQ and Boko Haram are running stupid in the country? Seems like another place where SOCOM should have been having a field day (or maybe the shut down Snipers in the USMC). Is it me or does it seem like the whole world is on the verge of going boom lately.

Get used to him. Putin won re-election. We're gonna have to deal with him...

 

He won re-election. Any hopes of regime collapse thru color revolution are over. We have to deal with him. Either turn off this war or be honest with the people of Europe and the US and decide to jump start a major regional war in Europe but stop "pussy footing" around.

IDF's intel analysis chief to resign in June over October 7 failures

 via JP.com

IDF intelligence analysis chief Brig.-Gen. Amit Saar will resign his post once the IDF publishes its probe of the October 7 intelligence failures, set for June, he announced on Wednesday at a closed military intelligence conference.

Saar is the most senior Israeli official to date to give an exact time frame for when he will resign, in a show of responsibility, although military sources said he was due to finish his role anyway over the summer.

Previously, a mid-level IDF intelligence major resigned.

At higher levels, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi, intelligence chief Maj.-Gen. Aharon Haliva, and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) head Ronen Bar all previously hinted several months ago that they would resign, but never gave a time frame and, since then, some have speculated that one or more of them may try to stay on given that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing to stay on.

Here 

The Senate Majority Leader was over the top in his call for Bibi to step aside and call for elections.

The optics are bad but not necessarily the message.

I truly believe that the Israeli Govt knew or was warned that the attack was coming but for some reason ignored them.

Additionally we all know that recovering the hostages is just a fig leaf to continue operations.  I get that only four to six Hamas battalions remain and that they can totally destroy the warfighting part of the govt with a final push, but they're playing on heart strings and I despise that.

In the grand scheme of things a Brig Gen is low hanging fruit for a catastrophe of this size.

Higher ups have to face accountability.

French Foreign Legion Jungle Training just plain hits different...

 

It's been said many times on this blog by dudes that have been there and done that (not just checked out the pics like me) that the French and Brits run some kick ass jungle courses in S. America and in the Pacific. Wonder why we aren't rotating our guys thru there.

Hamas activists slams the aid deliveries of food being dropped in Gaza. Ungrateful, unworthy, and wasted aid to unappreciative people once again...

 

Amazing.

This son of a bitch actually said that this is hurting the Palestinians more than just letting them starve.

So be it.

No more airdrops.  For damn sure no port for Hamas.  What will be will be.

No matter what you do it will never be enough.  We should have learned that lesson long ago.

On Oct 7 Hamas sowed the wind.  Now they get the pleasure of reaping the whirlwind.

Haitian Gang Hype Video?

This HAS TO BE BULLSHIT!

If this is a Haitian gang and if this is the type of force that the Haitian Police are fighting (let's face it they have no military), then they're screwed.

Someone is funding these dudes and I'm talking about cartel type money.  Additionally while those aren't modern weapons those are all 308's.  They're punching thru most body armor that patrol is wearing on the streets of America (even if your strike plate holds you're probably gonna feel that shit for a month or two and will suffer in other medical ways I can't describe) so you know the Haitian police are meat on a plate.

IF and its a huge IF this is real then we need to rethink the shit happening in Haiti.

This is more than a happenstance jailbreak and general uprising by criminal elements.

I dare say this thing was planned, funded and is controlled.  Can't begin to say what the rational is behind this happening right now but we know it can't be good and is probably against the national interests of the US as the average man and woman sees it on the street.

China is practicing precision drone flying...a job soon to be done by AI

Interesting isn't it. Cutting edge tech seems to be making the "old" version obsolete faster than lingering "legacy" tech. Drones are the hotness but the days of drone operators seem to be numbered. Meanwhile some of the old mundane stuff like the drudgery of airplane maintenance seems to hang on despite the latest advancements. I know they have predictive programs to tell when something will wear out but you get my meaning. We still need people to turn wrenches.
