@generalkellogg Why do you look so weak & pathetic?
The greatest country in the world.. the motherfucking United States of America... Or at least it was.
Now a shell of its former glory, where terrorism is tolerated, even encouraged, where weak spines on even weaker leaders lie..
"never again"..
16/ …calculations, boots, brilliant and infallible commanders and equally skilled fighters, excellent communications, good weather, indestructible equipment, and a couple of dozen other factors. And that's it. Then you'll shoot down all your targets 100 out of 100.
15/ "Of course, it's possible to shoot down better. All you need is unlimited planes, helicopters, SAM systems, anti-aircraft guns, small anti-aircraft guns, missiles, "Christmas trees" [interceptor drones], shells, money, radars, reconnaissance, trained crews,…
14/ "That's my point. There is no such thing as "why didn't they think of shooting down drones before they hit their targets?" Or "why aren't they shooting them down?" They shoot them down. At least they try. With the forces and means at their disposal.
13/ "All firepower is assigned firing sectors and zones within which they engage targets. Each crew has a commander, and above the commander, there are a host of commanders who make the decision to open fire.
All work and non-work is recorded by objective monitoring.
12/ "And of course, all this is covered by a practically continuous field of electronic warfare. At particularly important facilities, there are dedicated air defence units, whose main task is to engage targets that pose a threat to the protected facility.
9/ "When the targets enter the protected zone, the SAM systems engage, first with missiles. Once all the missiles on board are expended, the cannons open fire.
8/ "Aviation is the first to engage targets on distant approaches. They engage targets throughout their entire flight, primarily outside the SAM operating zones. Of course, each crew is ordered to shoot down two or three targets with one missile; if fewer, the crew is scolded.
6/ "Today, these include aeroplanes, helicopters, air defence missile systems, anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft guns and mobile anti-aircraft systems. These are the firepower assets.
5/ "Using radio-technical means and human intelligence, preparations for the launch of drones and missiles—and their subsequent launch—are detected; at the same time, crews and crews assigned to air defence tasks are placed on ‘Number 1’ alert.
3/ His comments echo similar complaints by other warbloggers (see below for example) of how inefficiencies, poor training, scarce resources, and a lack of clearly defined responsibilities are making the system less effective than it could be.

2/ 'Fighterbomber', a Russian air force pilot, explains that while Russia (referred to here as "Laos", a common euphemism to evade censors) does have a theoretically effective air defence system, it's undermined by organisational and cultural problems.
The 92N6E multi-function fire-control radar of the S-400 air defense system. There are 2–3 officers in the system’s command center, but it can operate fully autonomously and without crew. This mode, known as self-defense mode, has been used to counter missile attacks.
1/ Russian warblogger 'Fighterbomber' addresses "what air defence doing". The systems can operate effectively, he says, but he pleads for operators to "stop screwing each other over in every possible way and shifting responsibility onto someone else." ⬇️
