In our household we would tune a ukulele by singing "my dog has fleas" works every time. Keep up the great work!
ОтветитьI am a former Combat Developer for the US Army’s USASOC. My rule of three was inviolate. It MUST INCREASE Lethality and Survivability and Must decrease (or preferably eliminate) Fratricide. If you didn’t address all three, your chances are reduced compared to another item that did.
ОтветитьThe Bauchan example, I believe you missed another aspect, that of the fact that unless they were opposite Canadians, the Germans knew that they COULD surrender and survive.
ОтветитьMonte Carlo was disaster
ОтветитьWasn’t artillery the biggest killer in WW1
ОтветитьIt is having opposite the intended effect currently...
ОтветитьDude... In another video you say the weapons with the most kills per shot are the most effective. In this video you say killing does not make something effective. Get your sh*t together.
ОтветитьRe bombing the viaduct. Pilots wouldn't fly along the line of it, instead they would fly at an angle (30°iirc). Thais was because if you fly along the line of the viaduct and drop bombs any cross wind would blow all muntions off target. Flying at an angle to it increases the chance of a hit
Ответитьthe typhoon effect is common in Ukraine, drone on APC / Tank a lot just get abandoned
ОтветитьArtillery support is best used when u are aming in "that" direction, thats about how accurate it is and that is the point of the whole thing.
Ответитьremember the Alamo?
ОтветитьIn modern war the 'one shell every 3 minutes' tactic would probably not work. One of the reasons for short, intense barrages is the counterbattery fire. And if you were to shoot one shell every 3 minutes your firing position would be identified and destroyed quickly
ОтветитьThis would be great to be updated after Ukraine war. Or NOW. I'm surprised Mr. Brit did not mention British secret POW camp Trent Hall of WW2 fame. Great story.
ОтветитьI retired from law enforcement in NC, and there is a documented case from the outer banks, ironically near Kitty Hawk. A little Cessna plane had engine trouble and had to crash land on the beach. A Park Officer saw it happen and sped off to assist. As the officer neared the plane, the pilot exited from the cockpit. The officer was close enough to basically be at the tip of the wing. As luck would have it, the pilot was hauling a plane full of drugs. The pilot grabbed his pistol and the officer did the same. The two guys emptied their mags at each other and each had a hi-cap 9mm. They ran out of ammo and stood there staring at each other-- neither one had been nicked. The pilot ran and was caught a few hours later.
Shooting is different when you have hot lead sizzling the air around your ears.
I was in law enforcement, and did mostly firearms instruction. We always had a bunch of gung-ho guys wanting to kick in doors while wearing ski masks and were always trying to out macho each other. (Yes, in the US) They thought they were supermen when all we had were orange plastic training guns (In rookie school)
I found what would give them a dose of reality. Have them to attack some of us who were barricaded in a house (training structure)-- and both sides had paintball guns and had to wear t-shirts. (Only safety glasses allowed )All of a sudden the big mouths didn't think they were bullet proof anymore-tactics changed- other plans were proposed--- and all because they could possibly get some welts and bruises.
I always thought the Falklands was a special military operation but it turns out it was a conflict. You live and learn.
ОтветитьThank you . ( 2024 / Jan / 02 )
ОтветитьWell seems to be working pretty well 😂
Maybe not in colonial actions like the UK and US like to do, but in the current conflict it’s definitely turning the enemy into minced meat.
Even today calling in (dumb) artillery on a point target as a forward observer is extremely difficult. We usually had a little dance when we'd put steel on steel because it's pretty tricky to hit a tank with guns from miles away.
There are methods to deal with tanks or other smaller or mobile targets with artillery but generally it's not the best tool for the job. Artillery is best used for taking out emplaced high value targets like airfields or radars.
The question is if you could apply the lesson learned in the barrage in that Italian town to evacuate a part of the Gaza strip. A steady rythm of loud and quiet, perhaps with longer spaces to evacuate. But still, ideally you could get the vast majority of the people there to leave, before any major ground offensive. Not ideal, but perhaps useful for minimizing casualties.
Ответить+1
ОтветитьThis video is now much more relevent
ОтветитьThis has aged very well - considering what's going on right now in Ukraine and Gazza
ОтветитьAs we have proven, in 2023 it is still a very efficient tool for well-entrenched defenders
ОтветитьIwo jima is a really good example
ОтветитьNLAW seem to be effective. I hope that men participating in the Russian army do surrender.
ОтветитьFire for effect. As in show them what we got.....😮. Watched Lindybeige's video on the big gun at Malta. Never fired in anger, bc they would test fire it 4 times a year. A one ton shell accurate to 8 miles. Epitome of f@#$ around and find out.....😂😂😂😂😂
ОтветитьWhy are the subtitles/captions so damn messed up? They're COMPLETELY unusable!
ОтветитьOK, 6000 shells against eight 88's. Were they still firing? The OBJECT of the exercise with indirect fire weapons is NOT to destroy the target but to suppress it. And it's not like it's anything new. It had been known for years that destroying a target requires many more rounds that suppressing it. That's the reason the default in the NATO default Call for Fire is Suppression. If you with to destroy the target, the word "Destruction" must be inserted.
"a. Type of Adjustment. In an adjustment, two types of fire may be used--area or precision.
(1) If no specific type of adjustment is designated, area fire will be used. (Split a 100-meter bracket.)
(2) When precision fire is desired, the observer announces, "Registration" or "Destruction," depending on the reason for firing. (Split a 50-meter bracket.)" - US Army FM 23-91 Chapter 5
The white flag of surrender, aka the French battle flag.
ОтветитьThis didnt age well
ОтветитьMake some noise
ОтветитьUnion and Confederate regiments would routinely take 50% casualties and continue fighting effectively, war changes quick
ОтветитьWasn't Ocean Girl and Hannibal Letor from New Zealand?
ОтветитьAs someone who lives in Israel, every few months there are escalations in Gaza resulting in Hamas (together with other insurgencies, notably the Islamic jihad) fire thousands of rockets and mortar fire. Many people I know and myself get used to it after going through thousands of drills and real sirens, (also we have a defence system) are used to it, so I suspect that veteran soldiers might be able to get used to it. Although as a civilian it is different.
still i think bombardment should be mainly used inside a fire and manoeuvre type of tactic
Oh, that Eternal Anglo aside.
ОтветитьEvery time he adds sound effects it scares the shit out of me. Especially working in a woodshop where it's 3 hours or lindybeige voice and suddenly EXPLOSION oh god do I jump.
ОтветитьDidn't the Russians figure that out in Syria so they just began levelling all the towns that the fighters moved to
ОтветитьScreaming
ОтветитьThis video is as relevant as it could ever be.
ОтветитьI've discovered bombardment to be highly effective at stopping interminable work meetings in their tracks. Highly recommend office workers viewing this channel adopt it into their arsenal of workplace tactics.
ОтветитьThis is very interesting in the context of Ukrainie.
Ответить"you don't win by killing everyone"
Cluster munitions: you don't?
