So that they all fell off.
I hope so.
Japanis militarism is the most cruel and inhuman. Not for nothing they are forbidden to have an army. Who is looking at it now except Russia? None. Because the whole world of capitalist traders is against us.

It is not in vain that the naval base is being transferred to the Kuril Islands, otherwise our yellow-faced "partners" have taken up the army for something not childish.

[BABA SHURA]

Japans are not yellow '...

[coleg-10]

We would like to put something to them from weapons.

[Red_Hamer]

Preparation of the Japanese is in full swing, we would need to do faster infrastructure in the Kuril Islands. And their fleet is serious, very serious.

I join the wish. The photo is already rusty tracks. Successful high-speed corrosion ...

Hello to us or the Chinese?

[Valeron45]

It seems to us and the Chinese. Or maybe the North Koreans.

Actually, it was announced long ago that the Merikos would pump hahiko homeland with weapons and turn a blind eye to the formation of a real army among the samurai, capable of participating in offensive operations of a local and regional scale. For China must somehow be squeezed in the Asia-Pacific region, and indirectly reduce the strategic potential of the Russian Federation on the specified theater of operations of the Second Cold War. Ah, where is our base in Kamrani! And with Comrade Kim there are more questions than answers.

So I think, where are they going to land? One consolation is that such vehicles are not suitable for landing from the sea.

Are you serious? The AAV7A1 is the renamed LVTP-7, the US Marine Corps landing vehicle, designed to land the first echelon of the Marines.
Actually, that's why it is so huge.

[111.]

even the Americans themselves complained that this amphibious firepower not only could not support the landing attack, but even itself couldn’t defend itself due to weak firepower, in addition, the size of a house and armor that could be penetrated from a slingshot as many as 25 landing troops, that is, a whole platoon ... will go into them where the defense will be prepared in advance, they will drown with entire platoons before they reach the shore

Everyone around is arming against us. For many years after the army I dreamed that they called me for the second time. Sounds like dreams were prophetic.

Everything is crazy, the USA needs cannon fodder against China and Russia in the Far East. Own army of Americans can fight only against the banana republics. There are not so many allies in the United States in the Asian region: Australia, Japan, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea. The number of armed forces is relatively small, so the Americans are building up the technical component, which will allow these states to release part of the funds to increase the size of the army. The total human potential of the countries listed above is quite large.

South Korea. The size of the armed forces is relatively small,

Full military personnel: 5 209 000 (on the front line - 687 000reserve forces - 4 500 000

ABOUT! Japan has the Marines ... For our Kuril Islands form!

[Taygerus]

it’s difficult to smear into such a container, let’s try they’ll only go to the bottom with the whole train, together with their moon rover

[von_Tilsit]

Well, with one brigade, they won't fight much! Most likely, the brigade will be cropped with an eye to deployment in the division. They will practice the skills of landing from the sea and air, "forge personnel" for the future Mikado Army, and this will take time. Samurai are preparing for the future World Mess, they are afraid of not being in time

Have you decided to prepare for the capture of China?
