I'd love to read the medical report/autopsy on that guy. Did we ever get confirmation if he died? I mean he either died or is making GBS threads into a plastic bag strapped to his wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Wingnut Ninja posted:Most (fixed-wing) CAS these days is done with some flavor of PGM, so I don't imagine the F-35 will be any worse at it than any other strike fighter, at least once they get the targeting pod figured out. Especially if they decide "gently caress LO" and load it up with hardpoints. It's a ludicrously expensive and overdesigned asset for that kind of mission, but c'est la multirole. Why a manned prop plane over an attack helicopter or drone equivilant of a Super Tucano? Serious question I know very little about things that fly.

how the gently caress have we not figured out how to put a sight on a loving apache, at the most basic level of "shooting poo poo" using a grease pen makes about as much sense as only a front sight post on an m16

Arrath posted:Soooo why wasn't the tether cable connected to the blimp with some kind of release or exploding bolt or something so that when it escapes it can shed the cable like a lizard's trail rather than drag it over powerlines and poo poo? It would make more sense to have some mechanism on the blimp that reels in the snapped tether but yeah

SumYungGui posted:It's probably actually this. As much as I hate to use the word, the work "culture" in these militaries is very, very much "gently caress you do what I tell you because I'm a member of the ruling family/right tribal affiliation/sunni or shia/paid the right bribes/whatever and you are beneath me in everything. Exactly which one of those applies varies from place to place but whatever is chosen the guys on top loving stay there and everyone else god drat well does what they say. No feedback allowed, they're right you're loving wrong do it. Training/technical manuals, for example, are hoarded like treasure to officers only because letting the enlisted guys know more than the officers about anything at all is undermining how things are arranged. Is there any insight into how ISIS/taliban/iraq insurgency functioned? Did the dudes in charge rule with an iron fist?

pkells posted:Wait, the Carl-G was introduced in 1948?! It's taken us over 50 years to realize "Hey, this thing is pretty great, maybe we should buy a lot more of them." In all fairness it's probably gone through a lot of upgrades in its ammo so it's not really a fair comparison. The original bazooka would probably be decent with modern day munitions.

MrYenko posted:Do infantry/Marines generally wear earpro in a combat setting? Even regular foamie earplugs would be mostly good against jet noise, even from up close like that. I'm not saying it wouldn't be loud, but it wouldn't be skull-fuckingly-loud, like it would be to bare ears. No. I've seen photos of some SF types using the ear pro that only blocks loud sounds but I never saw it being used on deployment when I was a grunt.
