You're not wrong, they do tend to help clarify some things via how people respond to their emotional conjecture with simple analysis. But after the first wall of text...

Promises, promises...

Thats from 2021. Do you mean in relation to the recent election CBS doc?

BLUF: "You're a troll. Prove otherwise."

Seriously guys, why are we (yet again) feeding the troll? It's not like he has anything useful or even coherent to say, or is objectively considering counter points from various people, so... Why? It's just clutter, now.

That's a great idea! The rest of it is infantile, whiney drivel, so you're really doing everyone a favour by limiting your stable genius to one glorious post. Of course, you could have not posted at all - that's an even better idea! The latter is mine but you can have it, gratis. Sorry, too many syllables - Free.

Difficult to counter.

Good.

And at the polar opposite of the intelligence spectrum from Syrsky: Amazingly, it gets even better. https://news.err.ee/1608969679/slovak-national-arrested-in-russia-after-swimming-across-narva-river

Syrsky continues saying the right things... Reform is very much on his mind. He seems to have the combat vet's intolerance of REMFs, especially in an existential fight like this one. https://www.ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/3845632-oleksandr-sirskij-golovnovnokomanduvac-zsu.html Damn right too.

Interesting visualization of a propaganda projection process.

I wonder though, How does massed precision beat opposing massed precision? Faster Detection, Analysis, Fires, Observation loop? If feels that if any one part of that is faster than the enemy's then their advantage can propagate across all four, through attrition, scale and pace of events, until the enemy compensates. Do it fast enough and the enemy's older formatting becomes a critical weakness. Obviously this is a primary nature of warfare already but the pace and rapidity of scale effects across multiple domains simultaneously is something different. Not looking for a solve, more observation/discussion of potentials.

Ironically I'm Irish, but thank you

Ah now. Your tarring me with a very broad brush. I specifically noted AFVs as a possibly better option than 60t MBTs. It's well documented how effective the Brad's and CV90s have been, with the CVs barracuda coat being especially praised (and its oven!) and the Brads survivability and sensors being top notch. I also did not suggest large mech formations as a viable options. More flexible, dispersed mechanized formations tied into vertically and horizontally integrated ISR & Fires networks are one future path, but certainly not large concentrated metal mass "sweeping across the plains". Come on, now. Maybe my Irony was too subtle and oblique...

Following up, the Tank Coalition is talking. A whack load of CV90s or Bradley's would be nice...but they're not Tanks, riiiight?

Heh

Things are getting crowded up there...

Danilo is gone.
