And mines. Lots of mines.

That's a Steve ( @Battlefront.com ) and @The_Capt kind of answer! (Not to mention a few others)

Dang it @akd, the video was taken down before I got a chance to view it.

Let's steer away from this subject. All war is horrible for both the folks fighting and for the civilians. I don't want this thread to get shut down for discussing politics.

Thanks @BFCElvis!

@JM Stuff https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/israeli-troops-chefs-hat-helmet-covers-explained Isn't that a home grown machine gun?

That's smoke of some sort.

I think, with the advent of drone warfare, tunnels and the like are going to become more and more relevant. Maybe we'll see one of these in the near future: I wonder if tunnels can be detected with ground penetrating radar (GPR). They are already planning on using drones to detect mines. This sounds like a good idea if they could swarm the front lines with these drones and be able to drop charges on each of the mines. Even if it can just detect the ones large enough to blow a hole in an AFV.

More footage from the IDF:

You're right. They were just regular Tigers. I had them for such a short time, I didn't notice...

My 2nd round game was a bit strange. My opponent moved all his T-34/76s along the edge of the map board and disappeared. As soon as my King Tiger tanks showed up, all his T-34s were setup behind my King Tigers and destroyed them all. Every one.

Released IDF footage:

As far as mine clearing, can a mine clearing vehicle not have detectors on the front? It can then: 1. detect a mine 2. drop a small C4 charge 3. back up several meters 4. set off the C4 5. move on to the next mine Would this be too time consuming in an assault? It would be a mini M1150.

3000!!! \ /

What hit the last vehicle to be destroyed? Was that a tank shell with the spalling coming out the other side?

Sounds like we need a Combat Mission: Mobile Infantry. We should test some of this conjecture!

If you launch a swarm of drones, wouldn't it make sense to include some autonomous drones that target ECM sources with HARM-like missiles? I know these missiles are pretty large for a small drone, but a new short range HARM might fit on a medium size drone.

Surely if we can produce an APS system that can knock down RPGs, we can produce a "bird shot" system that can knock out hovering drones and incoming kamikaze drones on the cheap (relatively speaking). Unfortunately, it may also devastate the local bird population... But maybe an AI system can help with that... Then the enemy will prolly start mounting munitions on birds to slip through the defenses... It just goes on and on. Defensive systems have a large job ahead of them.

Do you think AFVs will be able to adapt to the new battlefield? It would have to be some kind of next gen tank with top armor as a priority. Really all round HEAT defeating armor. And APS systems that detect and shoot down drones (and their munitions). Gonna be a complicated battle space.

It is difficult getting reliable info on what's going on. I guess the IDF is pretty closed lips. The War Zone has a lot of articles concerning the war: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone

Several headliner stories from the Israeli War: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone I thought I'd list the one link instead of the 5+ links.

Can drones not be spoofed using tarps and/or camo nets over the trench system. Seems like a cheap way to reduce casualties.

No idea, but if SF2 (SF3!!) had Merkava's and Namer AFVs we could simulate it. Oh, and we would probably need some more types of drones.
