NI: the US army is not as strong as it seems

The assertion that the US Armed Forces, in terms of combat power, is a cut above any intended enemy, does not seem to be entirely true. In the near future, opponents of the Pentagon "will be extremely deadly and more numerous," said Dan Gour, columnist for The National Interest.

“If the US Army does not take a series of steps in the near future, it is likely that it will be not only surpassed, but also defeated,” Goura quotes RIA News.

“In their recent military campaigns, the US military enjoyed a number of advantages, among which was a reliable material and technical base, total air dominance, and unhindered communication between military units,” the author writes.

According to him, "a number of these advantages will be playing into the hands of the Americans in the future, but the US airspace may have to fight for the airspace of Europe, Asia and the Middle East."

"For example, the Russian army demonstrated an impressive array of new capabilities during operations in Syria, including the coordinated use of unmanned aerial vehicles with massive artillery and rocket batteries, advanced ammunition and thermo-pressure warheads, extremely deadly and complex anti-tank guided missiles, and the use of electronic warfare, to hide the message between the military ",

Says the article.

In addition, "Moscow has demonstrated impressive opportunities for the rapid mobilization and deployment of significant combined armed forces," the observer notes.

“In order to have the opportunity in the future to fight with numerically superior armies and win, the US Army in the near future must invest in increasing mortality, as well as in the survival of its defense systems and communication platforms,” he concludes.

There is no worse stupidity - how to underestimate the enemy. Everyone has their own shortcomings, including the US Armed Forces, but nevertheless it is a real force that can smear a regional power at the level of Iraq.
We can’t say that they are a cut above us, but this is a real sparring partner that can beat painfully.

Quote: Chariton

"The gut is weak ..."

- this is when a rival in the same weight category as they are, that is, comparable technically, technologically and in terms of military skill, then yes, the Americans will not fight, because this will be a war of mutual destruction, a principled war. Americans don’t fight in such wars, they fight where they obviously win without big losses, and where commercial gain shines (in the sense, all military expenses and compensation for losses of military shares will be covered by geopolitical and all other wins, including indemnity for the loser) . It won’t work with either Russia or China, and therefore they won’t get involved ... Although I wouldn’t say it very categorically - the United States is now cornered, the circumstances are such that either a big war is NOT IN THE USA, or The US is falling into the abyss. No one is being waged for a war, which means the Amers should start on their own. They can and start. But this is not the courage of US soldiers, it is the despair of a rat cornered.

For volot-voin
Who underestimates him? I doubt that our General Staff is resting on its "laurels" and is engaged in hacking. There is an active rearmament of our army, taking into account the new requirements for modern military doctrine. The fact that the Americans and NATO have finally begun to recognize the strengthening of the power and capabilities of the Russian army does not mean that we have fully established ourselves in our military might. Therefore, you are probably in vain about stupidity.

It is really clear that lately ours have decided to take hold of our heads and put a lock on the sun. I'm talking about the article, how Americans imagine us as complete thugs walking "with a bottle of vodka and a bear", and we are them as "a stupid creature (Psaki level) with a hamburger and cocacola." Stereotypes ...
But there is a real balance of forces, and I hope our analysts evaluate them soberly.

- no one was conducted, no one was conducted either here, nor among experts. But even in the most ardent 90s, it was clear that the US army was completely stronger than the Russian not on my headas claimed. Stronger, but not so ...
And now I doubt at all that the Americans are stronger ... The Humvee bombing of Germany, the comical landing of the Marines in Spain, the successful ISIS bombing in Syria and Iraq ... This is only about training. As for courage and resilience - Prokhorenko and this sergeant Timoshenkov, who fired all the way ... The Syrians had already made their legs, the operator himself was shooting and running to the side, and this one in a gerbil and armor stands and crumbles on a suicide mobile ... underestimation, but purely objectively - the Americans here in SABJ flatter themselves, claiming that they are still "the strongest army in the world, albeit not on their heads, but still the strongest"
OBJECTIVELY - the US army is no longer the strongest and never was. Was in a short period - in the 90s, and that's it. Before that, the USSR had them in all the holes as it wanted in mediated conflicts, and now it will come to the point, they will take the risk of declaring an "unmanned zone over Syria" - and you will see that they flatter themselves very much in the SABJ, well, they flatter themselves very much. We didn't try to be more modest ?

[volot-voin]

Quote: aksakal

successful bombing of ISIS in Syria and Iraq ... This only applies to training.

They bombed the desert because they did not want to get into the "opposition". If they were going to really bomb, they would have bombed. They hit the troops of Gaddafi or Hussein very miraculously and accurately, not just like IS. And all these failed landings in Spain are just exercises from which the enemy will draw conclusions.

"unmanned zone over Syria" -

They can declare it only in one case, if Turkey decides to take her own life and declares war on the Russian Federation.

- Prokhorenko and this sergeant Tymoshenko, who shot all the way ... The Syrians have already done their feet, the operator himself took off and ran to the side, and this one in the gerbil and bronik stands and crumbles over the martyr’s mobile ...

No one argues about the steadfastness of the Russian soldier, it has been praised for centuries. Blessed memory of the fallen. Americans "without diapers" will not go to war. But they love to fight at a distance or by someone else's hands. You don't have to go far for an example, part of our people in Ukraine was split off and turned against us. The devil is strong.

Quote: volot-voin

But they really like to fight at a distance or with the wrong hands.

- Nevertheless, I insist - the American army is far from the strongest in the world. Offer candidatures, consider, evaluate, but the Amer army is definitely not the strongest in the world. They can attack, even Ukrainians can attack, the Georgians swam in 2008, but the fact of the attack is not a fact of force.

----------------------
For some reason, the article does not say a word about the capabilities of the American fleet. So far, this is the only real force at the disposal of the United States and the Marine Corps. Well, more "remnants" of the former might of the American aviation. The United States also demonstrated how key points of defense and air defense are fired by "Tomahawks", then assault and fighter aircraft fly away everything that is capable of moving on the ground. "Land" American is about nothing. They themselves do not know much, the British SAS usually comes out ahead, which makes an accurate reconnaissance of the terrain and gives the coordinates of the targets, and here, having put all this in their computers and shooting tablets, the Americans give something out. But at the slightest mistake or "something went wrong" they work out friendly fire (friendly fire). Moreover, they do not even pay attention to complaints on the air, the general said "or so 45 minutes", we will "or" in these coordinates for 45 minutes. Something like this.

Reevaluation stupidity is no less. It is necessary to evaluate as objectively as possible. I think our estimates are doing and the results are quite acceptable for us. Judging by the action of our armed forces in recent years.

Well, in order to subjugate the whole world - of course, not enough ...

[shinobi]

The USA surpasses, for now, the rest only in the number of weapons. Quality is out of the question. More or less decent preparation, relatively, was left only to the marines and small special forces units. And the situation is not getting any better.

[voyaka uh]

"decent training, relatively, remained only with the marines" ////

Why do you think so?
The main force of the US Armed Forces is not marines, but infantry
and cavalry (tank) divisions.
Infantry personnel (full strength) - 4, if not mistaken, to date.

1st (Big Red One), 2nd (Indianhead), 3rd US Infantry Divisions.
Personnel divisions that took part in absolutely all wars,
starting from the 1st World War.
Their discipline is higher than that of the marines.
The 3rd Infantry (Rock of the Marne) first entered Baghdad in 2003.

[Taygerus]

if not for the corrupt generals hell would they have entered Baghdad

Do not underestimate the US army, it is very well equipped.

Exactly the opposite! Latinos and Indians like to be taken to the Marine Corps, because they are eager for close combat, hand-to-hand fighting:
"with daggers p-e-z-at!"
But with discipline, they are bad. In Iraq, all cases of revenge
to local residents, when one of the marines was killed, in Latinos.

In the usual infantry they take more whites - there are robots and all kinds of electronics
implement more successfully. And more complicated logistics operations to carry out.

Oh, the Yankees have done a little fright again. And so it is always when a real war looms on the horizon with an enemy armed at least as good as the Americans themselves. Then an oil painting is drawn - a perspective of a large load of 200 for "good" guys from numerous North American states. This very "peace-loving" state cannot stand. Everyone around can die, but not the Americans. Hence the intimidation of everyone else, the increase in the military budget and the expansion of NATO. The world, they say, is not without "good" guys.
