@lbnBattuta Morocco has 60 fighter aircraft and an Air Force of 13000 people including drivers and air traffic controllers. The Soviet Union had 160000 planes. What are we talking about โmilitarized?โ
@enbridgethe3rd One of the 271 Egyptian pilots flying in an armed plane realizing he is out of air-air missiles and has to land but there are still 160000 Soviet biplanes in the air doing donuts over his airfield and strafing supply trucks
@KhazarPsyop The pilot of Number 27 of the 80 armed aircraft operational in Algeria realizing he has to land for fuel and ammo but there are still 160000 Soviet biplanes in the air doing donuts over his airfield and dropping beer bottles on supply trucks
@guayabitico@BlueSpyCrab@Miche_1917 People really do not know the operational range of modern fighter aircraft. Morocco to Berlin for example is 1600 miles. Guess the combat range of a f14 that needs to out speed and out maneuver literal thousands of planes? 150 miles.
@schrondonowitz Moroccan Air Force (13000 people) and their 60 armed aircraft they havent used since 2014 watching 160000 Soviet planes crest the horizon and turn the sky black
@yuanyi_z@TheNumerophile0 650 combat capable magic planes across all of Africa that hold 2 missiles a piece (ammo not manufactured in the continent.)
Vs 160000 Soviet planes.
Planes have to land. Europe had more planes and pilots than the African countries combined have Air Force logistics drivers.
@ReedAtlanticist@ZangiriZero There are people who think 650 fighter jets could destroy over 400000 aircraft without landing for reloading, landing to refuel, or running out of gas or bullets outright.
Literally everyone who isn't an anime nazi incel thinks WW2 was a little border kerfuffle where a few divisions from different European nations duked it out and not the mass scale total mobilization of untold millions of men from all around the world.
Every response to this was basically,
" Yes, modern technology is a total gamechanger that cannot be understated but they didn't make them themselves so they magically would lose. "
It's like if I have a German machine gun and I time travel to the time of Vikings and a Germanic Tribal Warrior challenged me.
Who would win?
I have a gun and he has melee weapons.
They'll say, " well, you have a German gun from 2026 so he'd magically win! "
I almost admire the dedication to the racist bit. Indeed, you do make good shit but you can't admit your new shit is better than your old shit because a black person is using it.
Astounding stuff really.
Yes, I understand that logistics matters in war but the Nazis were literally using horses to move field guns. Tanks would literally damage their tread in harsh weather conditions. The germans literally abandoned tanks due to lack of part availability as the war went on. Why are we pretending the Wehrmacht would somehow just churn along unimpeded when even against a poorly equipped Red Army they were floundering?
The Nazis would arm some of their riflemen with 98ks, a bolt action rifle that predates WW1.
Toyota trucks with machine guns would be legitimate threats to light german armor of the day. What are we talking about?
@OnionPone@CptBwni Exactly, I agree.
But also, Iโm not gonna lie, ms13 is totally ancap. They are literally anarchist capitalists working in a cartel that sells drugs in a society of anarchy? I mean shit they are more ancap than all these ideologue niggas
@OnionPone@CptBwni I mean look at Timothy micveighs body count relative to when he was killed. These people donโt think theyโre John wick and can dismantle everything, they just think they would die standing or never be taken alive (most of them will)
2026 Africa imports:
80% of Finished Medicines
99% Vaccines
99% of complex military hardware
98.5% of its basic ammo
20% of its food
70% of Refined Fuel
And even if South Africa could, getting it anywhere against a European navel blockade would be impossible.
