#1 ...And reflect on this for a moment: if these are the results you get with our intel and Ukranian gear, imagine our intel, our C3, and our gear.

Think 'War Of The Worlds', but we have immunity to the damned bugs.

#2 That is what makes the US forces so deadly against conventional forces. All of our stuff, land sea and air, are connected and have a real time view of everyone's targets and locations. One grunt can target an armored group and his company/battalion along with the JSTAR and jet flying Air-to-Mud see it in real time. After the missile/bomb is launched, it can be commanded to go after another target nearby if the situation changes and the grunt can provide that.

Basically you have the fog of war god mode cheat turned on.

#3 And, JSTARS itself is being replaced by a more distributed system of systems that will be more flexible, robust and responsive.

#4 Gen Keane was just interviewed on Varney. He mentioned the arty being sent to the Ukies. Also mention "radar" which I assume are counter-battery systems. This could be a significant game changer.

#7 ^Probably doesn't for the most part. At least not with this sort of work. No reason a transgender person couldn't competently operate a drone from a base outside of Las Vegas. Or monitor software.

#9 Always thought DoD should shadow a game like Modern Battlefield. Players sign up thinking they're doing the latest PS/Xbox/PC game sim but is actually tied into all that distributed stuff to allow them to fly the drones to targets. Is it real or is it Memorex a sim?

#10 From your favorite bull shit news favorite British tabloid Daisy News ……..According to Ukrainian military, one of the Il-76 transporters was shot down by Ukrainian Air Force Su-27 fighter jet. However, this claim has not been independently verified. The second transporter again it’s not being confirmed on the ground do to military actions.
Sound like British fake news for the idiot population of America and Britain.

#11  However, this claim has not been independently verified.

That is why we carry the news from both Russia and Ukraine.
