Heavenly war

During the war in Afghanistan, the nature of the use of combat aviation has changed, reflecting the political complications associated with the death of civilians as a result of inaccurate or erroneously delivered air strikes. Also, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have often been used, capable of monitoring potential targets longer and without risk for pilots and expensive military vehicles.
Nevertheless, pilots and combat aircraft remain an important component of the coalition forces, since aviation is considered the most versatile and impressive. weapons in her arsenal.

In fact, there is very little information about the actions of NATO aviation in Afghanistan. I have not yet met with data on the use of A-10 attack aircraft against the Taliban, it is very interesting how they will show themselves in mountainous conditions. At one time, our drying proved to be the best, even when used an adversary of MANPADS. If anyone owns such info, drop the link, according to the actions of NATO aviation in Afghanistan, you can to some extent judge its effectiveness in a possible war with Iran.

Here is a whole abstract. Organization, armament and tactics of actions of army aviation units. NATO

I studied a little the organization and tactics of NATO aviation, I would like to know about the effectiveness of the use of NATO aviation in Afghanistan. Now I’ll download and see.

"2 attack aircraft A-10, it is very interesting how they will show themselves in mountainous terrain" - google this question! only I have a few videos with A-10 "work" in Afghanistan .. I think there are much more videos on the Internet our "drying" is not at all comparable to the A-10 .... The States have gone 20 years ahead!

In my opinion on 9 and 10 snapshots of something in common. However, I don’t insist .... The Vietnam War was the last war in the world where opponents who were almost equal in technical equipment fought ... The USA lost it ... The war is considered to be won if the results are achieved ... Not a single war in Western democracy the declared results were not achieved ... Including in Afghanistan, the Taliban blossom and smell ...

And where is democracy underworld, it’s just a tricky type of war - we didn’t win much in Afghanistan either, although there the US assistance was much less than our help to North Vietnam.
In general, all modern wars of developed countries are such a game of giveaways. And I'm not even talking about the possibility of using nuclear weapons. The thing is that in developed countries (that we are in Afghanistan, that they are in the same Afghanistan and Iraq) they are fighting according to some strange rules invented by them. If the war went on without rules, then it would have lasted a week from strength and ended in the complete victory of a developed country. For example, the USSR in Afghanistan could simply wipe out all cities from the face of the earth with massive artillery and air strikes, poison all wells that are not controlled by its own, the massive minivanine of all mountain paths and the destruction of everything that moves and is not part of the USSR army. In such a case, Afghanistan would be under full control in a few weeks with isolated losses among our troops. The Americans could do the same in Afghanistan and Iraq. There is a technical opportunity. But wars are different now.

The Americans used the scorched earth tactics in Vietnam and got the tough. Of course, without the military assistance of the USSR, Vietnam would not have been able to unite, but technically the DRA troops were much inferior to the American corps and the armies of South Vietnam. But they had a lot of good fighters capable of wage a guerrilla war in the jungle, and they could only be destroyed by destroying the jungle itself, which is what the Americans did by spraying chemicals over Vietnam.

[snek]

Finding a better battlefield for guerrilla warfare than the Vietnamese jungle is almost impossible, and the amount of Soviet aid was simply huge.

In any case, we need to conclude. A nuclear war with the states is extremely unlikely, for a limited war the best means is the AUG.

People, equipment, the visible filling of the interior and exterior made the impression of a single well-functioning combat mechanism ... and not a single dumb mug with a fiery burning glance. I respect the pros of any bottling.
My personal opinion, in spite of the hatred towards Pindos (Jews, Germans, Japs, etc.) dominating on the site and the desire of many to blow their ass, they can and should learn a lot (I don’t intend to go into details because everyone judges his hillock and with his truth).
I hope that the growing Russian DOBERMAN will eat a turnip and swing to the state of a crocodile and acquire the Amerian dog of Bordeaux.
And the screams that we will tear everything and everything are more suitable for Zhilik.

Yankees practice. Trains eggs in sweat. For them it’s an ordinary job. No shame. No wonder they can afford it for their defense spending.
