How to lose the war before it starts

128
The unceasing nagging of the military omnipotence of the enemy is no better than the rampant hats and moods.





I never thought that in our Fatherland there are as many military experts, as it turned out in recent days. Not to mention American specialists the fleet. They make round eyes and announce with significance in their voices: they already have two destroyers and 60 cruise missiles on each one, off the coast of Syria! And the third is on the way! And even an aircraft carrier with cruisers will soon arrive in time. Mamma Mia! This is such a force! America, in a word! Where are we, the poor and the wretched! As they crave, so from that Syria some lumps will fly! And all of our air defense there, even these 120 "Tomahawks" "will not intercept." In general, extinguish the light, drain fuel oil and start negotiations. About what? Of surrender, of course!

I want to tell something to these thinkers, for whom America is always the most intelligent, strong and beautiful, almost like Trump has his rocket.

The first. Let these missiles be not even 120, and all five hundred. So what? Multiply 500 pieces by approximately 500 kg of explosives in each. We get to the circle 250 tons of something like trinitrotoluene.

For reference: to Vietnam American aviation during the war in Indochina, it dropped about 3 (three) million tons of bombs and missiles! Many of which were also quite manageable and relatively high-precision. And what is the result? And such that America with its Vietnam war managed so thoroughly that then for ten whole years it did not go anywhere. For fell into a deep depression.

And then some 250 tons! And then, if you still gain the whole 500 "Tomahawks" in the volley! Kuram to laugh! As for the expert oracle, which is mandatory in such cases, about the fact that they are not some, but highly accurate, I will say this. All these extremely smart missiles that, according to legend, can even fly into the precisely indicated small window, are good only when striking fixed targets with previously explored coordinates. Well, there, for example, at some power station or embassy. As it was in Belgrade with the Chinese diplomatic mission. Using the "Tomahawks" to chase the troops that were withdrawn into the open field or their military equipment is absolutely empty. And since the Syrian command and the entire army are not so stupid as to sit in winter apartments at such a time and wait for the American Ax to fall on their heads, we conclude that there is someone who will, and the armed forces of Syria will suffer less with such a blow Total.

No, of course, some part of "Tomahawks" still fly and hit. With the formation of large holes and cracks on the facades of some buildings. So, what is next? What does all this facade damage to the military defeat of Syria? Yes, absolutely no! Because with such a scanty ammunition it is possible to incapacitate, unless, a separately standing barn. But not the whole country.

And yes, by the way, about the barn, too, is not quite sure. In any case, the last time the 59 missiles were officially launched at the Shirath air base in the same Syria and, as they say at the Pentagon, they all flew to the target. It would be better if they didn’t say that, because that same airbase remained quite alive for it after that. What tells us that these "Tomahawks" even in the number of dozens, like weapon, absolute bullshit.

But this is not the most important thing. And the main thing is that with air strikes, wars do not benefit in principle. From the word at all. Well, there has not been such a case in the world stories. And, most likely, will not. The fact is that a country, and any country, is a pretty extensive thing. And the possibilities of those who are trying to “cultivate” this huge space with the help of conventional bombs and rockets, so to speak in the square-nesting way, are quite limited. And this is to say the least!

We have already reminded about Vietnam. In Germany and Japan, the Anglo-Saxons dropped a few less bombs, but also more than one million tons. And what would you think? By the middle of 1944, the volume of military production in Germany for all major indicators increased about three times compared with the period before the start of the so-called “carpet bombing”.

And this is in densely populated Germany, where the military factories stood literally wall to wall. As they say, I do not want a bomb! What to speak about semi-desert Syria, where, in general, there is nothing much to bomb.

To defeat such a country, and indeed over any other country that values ​​its freedom, bombings and rocket attacks alone are not enough. The country is not only extensive, but also very tenacious. Especially if she has been fighting for five years. Because I got used to it. And she will not be frightened not only by the Finnish knife, but also by the American “ax”.

In order to subdue such a country, you need something much more than the banal throwing of bombs and rockets. In short, we need a land operation. Such that the soldier of the invading army, trampled every foot of local land with his boot and stepped on the throat of every local patriot and hater of America. For if it does not come, will get a bullet.

And it will be very, very difficult for the West to do this. Because he doesn’t like to fight as a passion, as all normal people fight - wall to wall, on the battlefield, with the rivers of their own blood flowing from this fact. Western armies and, above all, of course, American, they are not even armies in the usual sense of the word, but such clubs for their own interests. Where are all sorts of mercantile citizens, concerned not so much with feats in the name of the fatherland, as a personal, selfish question. Someone needs to save up money for college, someone to get citizenship, and some even preferential dental insurance will not hurt. And the dead, as we know, neither teeth, nor education, nor even money for nothing is needed. Therefore, all these countless crowds of businessmen in military uniforms committed are not going to die either in general or, all the more, for some abstract ideals.

That is why the American army suffered a fiasco in almost all the wars it had ever waged. And especially after the Second World War. With the exception of rocket attacks on certain morally worn states, such as Yugoslavia and Iraq, the American army was washing its hands with a bloody bitch everywhere where it met with any serious resistance. Korea, Vietnam, even Iraq with Afghanistan, where they still get their tails and manes - this is evident evidence of this. Such a “business-army” can only beautifully and quite triumphantly fight on a Hollywood screen.

In general, the land, contact war on its own - this is definitely not about America and not about the entire pampered West. And they already tried to send in front of themselves crowds of all kinds of dirty barmaley. And nothing came of it. Right now, the Syrians and Russians are chattering the latter. And if the US marines, globally distributed all over the world, are so proud on their cruise vessels in the middle of the ocean, they will try to go to some local beach, they will be exactly the same meat grinder that went to their ancestors on the Gallipoli Peninsula on World War I. By the way, this place is very close to Syria. So the “tanned nape” will have something to remember before they zapper along the route “from here and into eternity”.

With all this in mind, it is absolutely incomprehensible to me, on which all the present lamentations about the imaginary invincibility of America are based, which, they say, in one stroke with seven kills. I see no reason for this. Unless, of course, this is not the basic desire to quickly surrender to captivity, where, as you know, a whole box of cookies and a barrel of jam are waiting for everyone.

      Of course, in general, the author is right! I especially liked this statement of his ..

Many of which were also quite manageable and relatively accurate. And what is the result? And such that that America managed it with its Vietnamese war so thoroughly that it didn't go anywhere for ten years. For fell into a deep depression.


      I immediately remembered the Soviet folk song "Fanton", which they hate in the USA.



      I run on scorched earth
      Hermeshlem slammed on the go.
      My Phantom with a white arrow on a spread wing
      With a roar gaining altitude.

      I see the turning blue distance -
      Breaking this is just a pity.
      It’s a pity that you don’t see her! Our path is difficult and far.
      My Phantom rushes east.

      I make a left turn
      I am now an executioner, not a pilot:
      I bend over the scope and the missiles rush towards the target.
      Ahead of another run.

      I see a white line in the sky -
      My Phantom is losing altitude.
      Catapult - that's the salvation! And on the slings - tension
      My heart is at heels: I'm going to a corkscrew.

      Just landed, in an instant
      A wild cry rang out from the bushes:
      Yellow-faced Vietnamese screech in the bushes, like hares.
      I fell to the ground and fell silent.

      Walking on the cursed land again.
      There is no helmet on the head.
      Soldiers poke me at the back with a machine gun
      My life is hanging by a thread.

      "Who is the pilot who shot me down?", -
      I asked one Vietnamese.
      Answered me that slant that he commanded the interrogation:
      "Our pilot Li-Si-Tsyn brought you down."

      It is you, the Vietnamese, lying for nothing!
      I clearly heard in the headset:
      "Kolya, press, and I'll cover!" - "Vanya, hit, and I'll cover!"
      Russian ace Ivan hit me.

      Somewhere in the distance, native Texas,
      At home, my father and mother are waiting for me.
      My Phantom exploded quickly in the blue and clear sky -
      I can’t see you anymore ...

          Interesting about kindergarten, creative. - Many combat aircraft, according to the results of their use, either turned out to be forgotten for their low qualities, or became real legends, which even people who have no relation to aviation know about. The latter include, for example, our IL-2, and much later American Phantom aircraft. Perhaps this is the most famous of all American aircraft from 1960-1980, and its name for many years has become a household name for all US Air Force fighters.

            Russians themselves understand in their films who the hell they represent. Say, even a shot with state money, not to mention private ones, there is not a single normal film about the Russian armed forces. But it is possible! For example, in the recent “Crimea”, which I even went to the movies (MDA), the only normal scenes are those where warriors are present in one form or another.

    And what is a "victory"? "Victory" is the achievement of a goal. And what are the “goals” of the USA when they begin aggression? 1-the overthrow of the existing government, building, 2-the destruction of the state economy of its political institutions, 3-subsequent economic robbery of the state, 4-subsequent economic and political enslavement of the destroyed state, removing it from the world political arena, make it another vote for it in UN, etc. These are plans under the letter "A". If something doesn’t work out, or if the prospects for using a crushed state do not bring any tangible “profit,” the United States will implement Plan B — leave behind a crushed territory divided into warring enclaves torn by internal contradictions and profit from selling to different groups weapons and equipment in order to spend the resources of the defeated state on an endless civil war. And which of these goals did the USA not achieve after the end of the Vietnam War and rethinking its results? Now, the US is always on track.

      This is the difference that many do not understand. The pawn and even the queen are not important, but the checkmate is important in the end. And couch experts with a checker need to understand that:
      1. There is no direct collision yet. That's when at least one bomb falls in the Russian Federation, then nuclear weapons will fly in response and all that is possible. And the purpose of participation in Syria is precisely so that not a single bomb falls in the Russian Federation. But no one has a dispute anymore.
      2. Even in a direct encounter, strategy is important for victory. In history, Moscow has been surrendered more than once in order to win. What also screwed up then? And before whom?
      3. By humiliating the MO and your commander in chief, you give the ground for the gloating of the Western forces, their media and play into their hands. Because not only BV is important to them, but more that the rating of your president falls.

    There are two types of people on the site - those who are ready with their hands while sitting at a computer to tear the enemy into rags, and those who are ready with a white flag to prostrate themselves before the occupier, thank God there are few of them. But they are. Syria’s attack yesterday showed that the information content of the war is even higher than the concrete results of the war itself. Due to the fact that our military was silent for a long time (I'm talking about the Ministry of Defense of the country), programmers who wished to hear the authorities' answer took the upper hand on the site. There was no answer, there was a slurred mumble, so now in terms of information you need to look for alternative sources, and more often train in shooting, running, throwing grenades - get ready for a war on your territory, because after a shame, we will find war, and this is inevitable!

      In fact, the MO responded within a few hours after the attacks: missiles went far from Russian troops in Syria. No one was injured in the blows. That is, Russia had no reason to bring down carriers. Nobody drained anything. And most importantly, the Moscow Region responded: Russia will return to S-300 shipments to Syria. These are the words of a particular general staff officer, not a balabol.

      The rest can hysteria further. By hysteria, professional VO trolls and stupid people are easily recognized. Only one thing is correct: information blow.

    Yuri! Your thoughts are absolutely nice to me! But you are completely in vain ironic about the moaners, whom in recent times have bred — bring them numbers! And this is not a joke! There is a powerful layer of the fifth column, which was formed under the influence of all types and forms of propaganda and recruitment, carried out, probably, not only by special services. It is clear that most of these “experts” are unlikely to tear their backs from their sofas (well, if only, to the nearest ATM?), But they can please anyone with dust and dirt on anyone! Especially in the conditions of some hour "H". And this is a war crime! Panic, gossip, rumors, just blatant lies (as is the case with the Kemerovo "Winter Cherry"!) - in wartime they were punished by execution! It was thanks to this column that partbases were unsealed from the pedestal of the USSR! And he collapsed without much difficulty! We do not need such repetitions !!! So it is not necessary to be surprised, but to carry out powerful counter-propaganda (by the way, one of the forms of psychological warfare!)! And the main front today passes, to the point of banality, in the fields of information warfare, it is from there that not the vertical sanctions fly in, but the Tomahawks behind them! And these “subchiki”, receiving bourgeois cookies and preserves, must always and regularly be reminded that an art grenade flew to Plohish at the end of the performance and the ceiling collapsed on a brainless head! (maybe out of place, but one involuntarily recalls General Kornilov, who arrested the imperial family on the days of universal betrayal, and his unusual death — one grenade, one small fragment in the temple!

      The methods of dealing with the fifth column in wartime and in emergency situations are simple, worked out in civilian times, showed excellent results in the Patriotic War, and are still used today. As soon as the fifth column poses the slightest real threat to our government, they immediately turn its head away. Previously, it was more difficult to identify such people, whispering in kitchens and cafes. Now it’s easier, they are specially left with sedimentation tanks such as the ECA of Moscow. They are stupid in their mass basis. Even the State Department manuals can not really use mattresses.

      By the way, in Vietnam, our air defense systems showed their tremendous effectiveness. If 1965 aircraft were shot down in the first half of 400, then only in the first month of using the S-75 the losses approached two hundred. The air defense systems worked with phenomenal performance - on average 1,5 missiles were spent on one downed aircraft.

    First you need to light up on Twitter with a heroic post. Then refute your own words.

Finally, light up again on Twitter with ambitious victorious screams.

    The point is not the invincibility of the mattresses in general, but the determination of the parties and the concentration of forces at a certain point. Our forces in Syria are inferior in quantity to the forces of the gangster coalition, here the solution to the problem is willpower. That is the crux of the matter! Moscow blinked, no matter how insulting. And without blinking and answering, and rather limitedly, only on missiles, Trump would blink.

    In the fight against panic, the main thing is not to hit the other extreme, which is just as dangerous and wrecking as hatred. The latter often led, ultimately, to the same panic, because the enemy did not want to throw caps with his hats. Therefore, the approach should be balanced even without these extremes!

    Tomahawks are terrible in a highly developed country with a terribly expensive stationary infrastructure. One tomahawk for 1,5 million - one power plant is orders of magnitude more expensive, etc. But Syria in this regard over the years of the war and so badly destroyed. So, as the author correctly noted, axes are not omnipotent at all. And for moving purposes, they are completely meaningless. So Syria just needs to put the S-300, as already announced by the General Staff. And everything will work out ....)) And the deep CAA bunkers and control points in Khmeimim are protected on their own, they are not accessible to axes .... And if the US’s most powerful weapons begin to be used for all this, the US will very soon begin to evaporate, dissolving into thermonuclear plasma)))

    Given all of the above, it is completely incomprehensible to me what all the current lamentations about America’s imaginary invincibility are based on, which, they say, in one fell swoop of seven murders. I see absolutely no reason for this. Unless, of course, such a reason is an elementary desire to quickly surrender, where, as you know, everyone will find a whole box of cookies and a barrel
    To the author of the article. Firstly, to suspect many forum participants of treasonable intentions is insulting and unfounded (this way you can attract the attention of the competent authorities yourself) wassat Secondly, recently, in one article, the author tried to convince us here that the mattresses are bluffing, threatening a blow to Syria, which as a result turned out - the whole world is in the know. The question arises - why do we need such an analyst? winked

    I would not especially be glad and not jump with delight. This is a strong, treacherous, not burdened by any moral and universal norms, adversary. Very stubborn and persistent in achieving his goals, and considering and sincerely confident that any means and methods can be used to achieve this. This enemy has tremendous military and economic potential, and after the betrayal of our elites and the destruction of the country, its surrender for "beads", they have overwhelming superiority and win the ideological and psychological warfare, using our complete inability, again the weakness and dependence of the elites, suppressing the ability to take strategic actions ahead of the curve, have complete initiative in this field. So that not everything is so simple and rosy, because they are used to fighting with the wrong hands, attracting all their vassals to the content. They sincerely do not understand why if you are stronger and you can afford it with impunity, you cannot beat a weak, wretched or lying man, why you should show compassion to the defeated enemy, and not finish him to the end and put on his knees in pads, this opponent is historically completely different with a different mentality and ideas about honor and valor. Unfortunately, for a long time and persistently (this again speaks of the danger of such an enemy) for several generations, our leaders, I don’t think because of stupidity, do not keep fools there, so by malicious intent, rendering services to our enemy, the question is to what extent interest, destroy the system of education and upbringing, replacing our historical values ​​with others, destroy our society. The criteria for assessing a person’s success are purposefully replaced, the measure is not talent, knowledge and professional qualities, not the ability to create something for society, but only loot, no matter how you acquired it, a cult of strength and individualism, licentiousness and permissiveness is imposed, calling it democracy (a concept introduced for the colonies and third countries), depriving our society of traditionally communal way of life, respect for each other and selfless devotion to their land and people.

    Chasing with the help of the Tomahawks the troops withdrawn into a pure field or their military equipment is an absolutely empty occupation.
    But “axes” are not for that. This is a weapon of another type of war. Warehouses with fuel for tanks Do you also drag in a clean field?
    And the West will be very, very difficult to do this. Because he doesn’t like passion to fight, as all normal people fight - wall to wall, on the battlefield, with rivers of their own blood flowing from this fact.
    If it’s not beautiful, then we just don’t have the human resources to fight in this way and the appearance of the “Caliber” is proof of this.
    The task of wars of a new type lies precisely in the defeat of critical infrastructure. And basically these objects are civilian, why many cannot understand this!
    Now about the white rags. Recent events just once again confirm the need for further strengthening of the air defense system. In relevant topics, he repeatedly mentioned the conveyor supply of launch containers.
    In the case of a massive raid here who is who. Or a flock of flies or a conveyor sending hundreds of kg to the sky. angry metal.

    To paraphrase the author of the article: I did not expect that there would be so many experts on Syria in the country. It is a pity that the quantity does not turn into quality. The article is purely capricious. It is clear that the attack was either reconnaissance, or its goal was the political cover of some scandal. According to this attack, NATO analysts will analyze the possibility of Russian air defense, and will prepare better next time. Tales about the fact that all missiles were shot down by purely old Soviet air defense systems - this is from a series of tales about the fact that there is not a single Russian military in the Donbass, and that the militias continuously grab tons of weapons from the enemy in tons. ))) Something to Iraq, which of the old Soviet air defense systems did not have only the S-300, the old systems did not help. ) It is understood that Tomogavki is against the Syrian army, this is ISIS. The same barmalei. However, if Russia had not helped Assad, then the Americans would have had enough of the barmales. And so - there is a big game, before the possible Third World War, in which Syria is just a testing ground, which Spain and Finland used to be before WWII.

      You did not understand. Tales or not tales - history will clarify. The basic and true idea is that one must be persistent, incorruptible, confident and purposeful. Then the US is powerless.
      I remember that in 1973 we were dragged to our institute by a photodetector taken from the first American "smart" laser-guided bomb. She did not explode, and the Vietnamese comrades, along with ours, successfully dismantled it. Our developers gasped at her sensitivity and selectivity - our institute is 2 orders of magnitude behind! So that? These bombs did not help them. The Vietnamese simply burned tires in the target area and the laser beam was drowned in smoke. They invented many such lotions and won the war. Yes, the Union helped them. But this help was 1/10 of American spending on the war. In Syria, the same story.
      If politicians fail, America will merge. She is already merging, playing a match.

        America does not always merge, and certainly brings at least half of its affairs to the end. Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya, Afghanistan - against all this, only Vietnam. It's ridiculous! In addition, Vietnam is a difficult natural environment and a small exhaust from victory. And without the Union, Vietnam would have won her hell. It doesn’t matter what they came up with there - without Soviet weapons hell would have happened. You cannot win modern war with a pitchfork and pickaxe. If there wasn’t your support, then where would I live long ago, would Kiev have won, or do you still sincerely believe that we capture everything that is needed for defense from the enemy? ))) War is primarily an economy. And in this regard, the Americans are fighting simply with maximum benefit. But this does not deny their victories.
        Now about the costs. Americans also have other prices and earnings, so comparing expenses simply by the price of a weapon or by general numbers is pure propaganda. But you can’t win the war by balabolism.

        Now about perseverance, determination and other blah blah blah. While the opinion of the war in your heads is formed by cheers, while the opinion of the war is formed on feature films shot by directors who never even served, not like fighting, who film actors who haven't served in their films, and scriptwriters who write You saw weapons only on TV - you are vulnerable. As soon as a real war begins, 80% of your patriots will merge quickly just by hearing shots somewhere in the distance. We already went through this here. Because a real war and a fairy tale are two different things. Therefore, it is necessary to form a real idea of ​​the war, difficulties and opportunities, so that in case of war, do not rush about in a panic from the gap between reality and the expected picture in your head. And the formation of a real idea is a complex multi-stage way of learning, and I don’t see anyone doing this with you.

    Indeed, only tomahawks cannot win the war.
    But the author stubbornly remains silent about the fact that the Americans have their own "moderate terrorists," who, after the attack by the tomahawks, may well go on the offensive.
    Or is it not clear that with a massive air / missile raid, the Syrian army will disperse, exposing huge sections of the front where green bearded men will rush ?!
    Or have we forgotten about how the Ishilovites took Palmyra back? Even without American air support?
    How did the greens break through the cauldron in Aleppo?
    So don’t have to take pink glasses.
    With NATO air support, all these green bearded men are quite capable of changing the picture in their favor.

    And my questions are the same:
    1) Why didn’t they give C-300 to Syria? Assad has no right to defend himself? The opinion of "Western partners" is more important, right?
    2) If they couldn’t hammer on ships in the Red Sea, why didn’t Assad help outpopulate American bases in Syria itself? Are we afraid of war? Do you think that the United States is fucking nuclear weapons in Russia if Assad rasshrechatyvat their base in Syria?
    So do not la la about how "everything is fine."

    Well, the empirical statement doesn’t win with air strikes. Everything is in the power of leadership and unity of the country. In Syria, thank God (both theirs and ours alone) was nagged with this (what is this from?). So the statement goes from empirical to formal. In this particular place. What about the rest? Close to the text. But then who was late, he did not have time. It was necessary to develop there in the USA, and not to cut the butterflies. You look at something more powerful and would fly. Well here excuse yourself to blame. We looked and developed according to the dialectics of military affairs, not economics.

    As for Vietnam, the author is cynical. The scars from the bombing still remain. 2 million killed inhabitants and hundreds of thousands of mutilated.
    Can't you win a war with air strikes? Well, maybe against Russia - yes - the scale is large. But Iraq and Yugoslavia are quite. Iraq after 1991 no longer recovered and slid into the abyss, in 2003 it was simply squeezed. The Serbs lasted 2 months, there was not even a ground operation needed. About Libya and probably so remember. No, dear author - air terror - this is a very powerful way to force the capitulation of almost any country if it cannot strike outside its territory. Syria will not be able to for sure.

    Hmm, the American army is similar to the army of the Russian model of the 1st World War. The current Russian army is a semblance of exactly that Russian army, and not the Soviet army. This means that everything that is said in the article can be attributed to it.
    The exploit of Major Phillipov is used by the Kremlin in the same way that the US soldier Ryan is heroized. But it comes to the people like Alexander Matrosov. Sooner or later this lie will come out and God forbid that the Kremlin after that has time to sign its Brest Treaty, for which it now stigmatizes the Bolsheviks.
