Media: the American army, accustomed to fighting with the rebels, will not be able to resist Russia and China

89
The current American army, which in recent years has been training exclusively on rebels in the Middle East, will not be able to withstand the modern armies of Russia and China, writes US News & World Report.



"While the United States for years focused on large-scale operations against insurgents in the Middle East, the army of opponents developed," - quotes the article RIA News.

“The American forces set themselves the task of conducting battles in dusty, dirty, and uncertain wars on the streets of Iraq and Afghanistan, which stimulated the development and production of lighter military equipment,” the author notes. “Such vehicles include anti-mine vehicles, for example, MRAP, unmanned aerial vehicles and other equipment.”

“Meanwhile, Russia has begun work on a program to strengthen and improve its military (forces). The country has invested in new high-tech Tanks and airplanes that can launch several missiles simultaneously, as well as deadly S-400-type air-to-air systems deployed in Syria, ”the publication emphasizes.

In addition, “over the past few years, China has been developing its armed forces to ensure the strengthening of its fleet и aviation».

At present, China, according to the author, “is becoming one of the determining factors ensuring the development of the region”.

The US military also failed to respond promptly to the strengthening of the IG grouping.

“At the same time, the IS uses maneuvers that are characteristic of waging“ ordinary war ”, even more so than other extremist groups that the United States encountered. In addition, the IG combines (these maneuvers) with rebel tactics to block the border with Iraq, using the civil war in Syria and the withdrawal of the US military from Iraq in 2011 year, ”the author writes.

    The Americans and the rebels are not very successful. Afghanistan is an example where the Yankees fully control only the territory of their bases.

        Yeah...

        But, seriously, the Americans are at a dead end: they are already tired of banging rockets worth half a lemon of green, jolly jeep with a heel of militants, and it’s unprofitable even for them.

        From the word "ground operation", despite the screams that in 1991 the American army finally got rid of the "Vietnamese syndrome", everyone, from private to senator, breaks through a cold sweat.

        Therefore, their "ground operations" now boil down to sitting in enclaves surrounded by meter-long walls, video cameras and a swarm of drones and forcing puppet governments to conduct hostilities. As in Afghanistan and Iraq.

        And then they manage to incur losses.

          A ground operation, let's say in Syria, means more than one thousand severed heads from the bodies of the American military. I have no doubt that the cunning leaders of the Caliphate will hand these dismembered bodies to their families for burial. A month after the start of such an operation, there will be such an electoral "noise" in the United States that it will not seem like little. Any real politician or military man predicts this situation and by itself is covered with cold protesters sweat.

            Not quite.

            After all, they had beautiful pages with the Japanese and in Korea.
            The main thing here is what to fight for.
            Defending their land, they would have had heroes, no doubt


            As for weapons and the development of the armed forces, we have fundamentally different approaches with them.

            With them, the army and military operations are primarily business.
            We have a condition for the survival of the country.

            Therefore, in their weapons they introduce everything that is necessary and not necessary in order to raise the price, and in our country - marginal efficiency at minimal cost.

            The same goes for their operations around the world. They will become unprofitable for those who earn on conflicts and military expenses - they will begin to curtail their presence

              This is not about the operation "cottage" on the Aleuts, write ... where the Americans first bombed the island for two weeks and then landed a landing ... with an epic finale.

              Parts of the allies managed to lose more than 300 people killed and wounded. Thirty-one American soldiers died because of the so-called "friendly fire", sincerely believing that the Japanese were shooting, another fifty were shot in the same way. About 31 soldiers were knocked out of action due to frostbite of the feet and "trench foot" - fungal infection of the feet, which contributed to the constant humidity and cold.

              In addition, the American destroyer "Abner Reed" was blown up on a Japanese mine, killing 47 people on board and wounded more than 70.

              "In order to knock them (the Japanese) out of there, we ultimately used over 100 troops and a large amount of materiel and tonnage," admiral Sherman admits. The balance of power is unprecedented in the entire history of world wars.

          The last major battle was with the Iraqi army, but this required such a strain of forces and in the end the capture of Baghdad was accompanied by the bribing of the Iraqi general, otherwise they would have put unnecessarily soldiers in Baghdad.

And as for the Armata tanks, which are beyond competition, Russia is the most powerful in terms of technologies for assembling combat vehicles for at least 20 years ahead.

                The Americans actually bought the RD-181 and NK-33 from us. Not at all because of "cheaper", but because of the not surpassed efficiency of our engines, the ratio of its useful power to the power released during fuel combustion. And this is the merit of our brilliant Soviet scientists!

          Well, there is no particular praise here, rather a pragmatic calculation with an eye to "give me more money!" But as a litmus test, I consider the speeches of our "liberals" and pseudo-patriots "who shout with one voice that it is necessary to cut spending on the military-industrial complex. This is an indicator, as soon as they change the subject, it means we need to worry, but for now everything is going well. It is not for nothing that they are all in every gear, as one repeats the same thing: we have enough nuclear potential, we don’t need tanks and planes, give money to grandmothers!

Well, I understand that we can compare the achievements of recent years in the development of the army - maybe we will be no worse. Again, a certain combat experience is available. An important plus for us was that Serdyukov (and the company) were sent in three cheerful letters from the Moscow Region. The oppositions are ridiculous when you consider that the nuclear potential is approximately equal. About the Navy sadly silent.

      Just by looking at history, it is safe to say that the Pindo army of this is never ready to fight a truly powerful enemy. Technique, yes, never living force. Is a bandit and a robber capable of openly fighting a strong enemy? So from around the corner in the back, or with a knowingly weak who is not able to respond adequately. And examples of this are countless! So the media are lying again, like there was an army, but damn it, it relaxed. It's just that those who were considered easy prey took and showed their muscles and the "great democratizers" tore the sphincter. For Russia, war has always been a forced way to defend its homeland, its people. And for pindo this is a way to earn more dough. Even during the Second World War, nothing threatened US territory in the Pacific theater of operations.

    I laughed for a long time when I got my hands on the material about the training by the Americans of the Ukrainian, hmm, army. The Americans conscientiously tried to teach them what they themselves can do - that is, the war with the rebels: the tactics of patrolling, organizing counter-guerrilla operations, etc. When the Ukrainians explained to them that the hostilities in Donbass are a full-fledged war with the front line, offensive and defensive operations, maneuvering of units and formations, the Americans did not believe, saying: “But you are conducting an anti-terrorist operation against the rebels there - this is exactly what we will and teach! "
    As a result, this whole "training program" was covered with a copper female genital organ, because what the Americans can do is kind of inapplicable in the Donbass (accordingly, the Armed Forces do not need), and what the Armed Forces needs are not the Americans.

By the beginning of January 000, the position of the Allies in the Ardennes remained On January 1945, 6, Churchill sent a message to Stalin, in which, in particular, he wrote: “There are very heavy battles in the West ... I will be grateful if you can tell me if we can count on a major Russian offensive on the Vistula front or somewhere else during January ... "On January 1945, 12, ahead of schedule, the Red Army launched an offensive on a broad front from the Baltic Sea to the Carpathians. The commander of German forces in the West, Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, was forced to withdraw from Western Front 1945th SS Panzer Army, and then 6 more divisions and send them to the East.

    Before the last wars in the Russian Empire and the USSR there were similar moods, how it ended (I mean the dead), everyone remembers. A friend serving, says that their conscripts are not taught anything, in terms of military training, they put things in order. So far, such reviews from conscripts are heard, we are not yet ready for war, since I don’t care about their problems.

    Now almost the entire American army, with the exception of some special forces, is focused on police operations. Therefore, before conducting a land operation, the Americans are trying to literally burn the enemy out with aviation. If aviation has blundered, and the army will come across organized resistance, then huge losses are guaranteed. Against bandits and Arabs, this scorched earth tactic works. This tactic will not work against the Russian or Chinese armies.

    How could they have any other experience? Did they somehow excel in the Second World War? The Nazis surrendered to them in batches without a fight. And when it came to the point, they immediately asked for help. And now also. Who is the tail raised to? And who will follow them? If Frau completely loses her head, there is someone in Germany to make decisions. And the French will not cover the Americans precisely because those Americans. Crazy Balts? So they all have one and a half planes. Or will the entire population go to the "forest brothers"? Psya krevy? These can. But Russia has not yet settled with them for the 20s of the last century. So they will get theirs. Czechs? They will remember the grave of whose tanks the Germans fought in World War II. Romanians? These are still warriors. Moreover, Moldova will not support them. Hungarians have become much smarter lately. So the Americans have nothing to catch. And little by little NATO will cease to exist.

      Why is everyone so obsessed with the experience of war? What is China's experience? In Russia, everything is slipping into the Great Patriotic War, whose experience has not been relevant for at least 40 years, and there were enough failures before and after, Japan, World War I, Finland, Afghanistan, Chechnya. Even here they remembered the Ardennes, three generations have already grown ..
      What is better than a great experience in local conflicts or its complete absence? Or is the experience in Georgia, Chechnya and Ukraine something better, Iraq or Afghanistan?

    I disagree with the Author. During Operation Desert Storm, in 1991 against the Iraqi army, the US Armed Forces acted very effectively, although the opponents were approximately equal in size. Then, the US Army showed greater success than Hitler's army in June-July, 1941 in the USSR.

      In 1941, the Germans had an advantage in training personnel, in the presence of traitors in the high command of the Red Army, a technical advantage - in transport and communications. The Americans had about the same in Iraq, and the result with the events of 1941 is approximately comparable. Yes, and it is worth considering, I think that a quarter of a century ago, officers in the US Army still had experience in Vietnam, and to a large extent prepared for war with the USSR. Now the situation is different.

      Sorry, of course, but take a closer look at the balance of power before starting the operation. If you read how the operation went, then I hope to look differently at the course of the company. The air company was quite successful, for many reasons and not about that now, and the ground operation was not graceful. Schwatzkopf, he commanded, is still khayut. There are so many mistakes and punctures, it’s not for nothing that I entered the textbooks, I need to know my mistakes. The ground operation took place in full accordance with the military charter of the army of americos - create threefold superiority, classical German theory, if I am not mistaken, formulated by Moltke at the dawn of the last century and laid the foundation for the military charter of the United States. Of course they are trying to change, but the system is complex and very very inert.
      In addition, the country of 'consumers' with an unreasonably developed sense of 'exclusivity' is not able to digest failures, they start howling right away.
      They are certainly a serious adversary, but until the first serious setback, they are not hardy in all respects .. although I sincerely hope this will not come to a test

      Yes, and they burned the T-72 pretty well at a distance unattainable for them. Served 89-91 urgently. Having come from the army, many of their peers asked if we would be ready to fight? Almost everyone smiled back. This spring, to my brigade a guy got a job in Moldova, he served a year in the tank unit, it seems in Buryatia, and so he told me a lot of interesting questions. By the way, the crew took part in the tank biathlon from them (they didn’t see them for half a year). So we will win, I believe , but at what cost? And one of the components of this price will again be hat-making.

Well, after such serious campaigns, it is better for Americans to be silent in a rag because they only fight against rebels. wassat

    Sorry, but such frivolous reasoning is similar to hatred. Their armaments are no worse, their numbers are larger, and they are better trained in brigade formation. We lived for a long time in the format of divisions and trained like that, until the stupid decision of Serdyukov’s time. And to fight with the partisans on their territory is not that a war with regular units. And quantitatively we have reduced the army, and with our allies (real) we are worse off.

    Americans never fight alone, and if the "American army" cannot resist, then the pro-American coalition can. As for the "rebels" - the Americans have different goals, they do not need victory, they need a war without end and edge, they need everyone against everyone. And when it was necessary to exactly win, the Americans calmly smashed the opposing armies, remember Yugoslavia, Iraq. Then our "experts from the General Staff" remember everything as one vangovali - "they will wash themselves with the blood of Americans, there are armies of ogogo, experienced, armed, motivated." They didn't wash, everything went well, they achieved their goals, they completed the tasks.
