Betty Boop: Two Drones Shut Down Key Airport — Over & Over…. UPDATE 2

Drones & UAVs, Government, Ineptitude, Law Enforcement, Military

now multiply by 100, choosing key Western cities…

Holiday chaos as drones shut London’s Gatwick Airport

Phi Beta Iota: The West assumes impunity from interruption and is not ready for asymetric rear area attacks. An electromagnetic pulse gun in a helicopter would have been able to fry these drones on the spot. In a worst case a machine gunner, shooting downwards.  No one wants to think about this stuff….too inconvenient.

Doug Macgregor: Army Makes Another Bad Move — “Light” Tanks for Dead Infantry

10 Security, 11 Society, Corruption, Ineptitude, Military
Col Dr. Douglas Macgregor

Army picks two companies to build prototypes for a new cannon-toting vehicle to back up infantry

My comment: The Army is pursuing a 1942 tactical solution to contemporary warfare.

The German and Soviet use of Main battle tanks led to whole sale mechanization and fielding of armored infantry/panzer grenadier formations in all Western armies by the end of WWII.

The effort to arrest Meng Wanzhou started last summer apparently, and the warrant was issued on 22 August. Nobody bothered to tell Trump (intentionally perhaps) and he was unaware of it at the time of the G2-Summit in Argentina. The potential fallout can make sure that China becomes a real enemy (watch how retaliation plays out) and the DC crowd will have their “perfect storm”.

Doug Macgregor: Jeff Groom on the Military Swamp

Corruption, Idiocy, Ineptitude, Military, Officers Call
Col Dr. Douglas Macgregor

Drowning in the Military Swamp

This Marine officer got out, but he left a dysfunctional, sclerotic bureaucracy behind.

EXTRACTS:

…company commanders had to fit 297 days of mandatory training into 256 available training days.

…is it reasonable now to maintain nearly 160 golf courses across the world when less than half of Marine aircraft can fly according to standards?
