@ChrisCardsFan @CBI_PTO_History It was more 81st ID than USMC, with Cableway and Tramway tech.

@ChrisCardsFan @CBI_PTO_History From the closing section of the piece:

"This Sixth Army mass deployment of cableway and tramway devices would amount to a large technological surprise to the Imperial Japanese Army as American logistical units would be able to both move large amounts of men and material...

1/This is a tweet thread on the drone campaign inside the on-going Azeri-Armenian War.

Most have focused on the drone strike videos, myself included, but it is the C4ISR system behind it that makes it the Spanish Civil War of the 21st Century.

C4ISR is this thread's subject
2/Too appreciate the Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) portion of the Azeri drone campaign requires some background.

This is Armenia's 2nd drone war.

See Armenian troop reaction here -

3/ Yet the Armenians are doing far worse than the last time they fought Azeri suicide drones.

1/ This is a tweet thread addressing two others on air vs. sea platform US Military roles and missions WRT the B-21.


2/ The issue of sea versus airpower goes back to the B-17 in the 1930's.

The B-17 simply could not replace seapower then anymore than the B-21 can in the 2020's.

This is an issue of medium and military roles in those mediums. ImageImageImageImage
3/ Sea control requires 24/7 persistence and persistence at sea is measured largely by keeping sea water out of your hull.

Air persistence is measured by how long you can maintain powered thrust in an airframe.

Ships can sprint & drift...plus get towed.

1/ This is is a thread on the implications on the proliferation of armed medium altitude long endurance (MALE) drones based on the on-going Azeri-Armenian war.
2/ A Russian language channel on youtube called "Lost Armor" has a "best hits" compilation of the Azeri drone strikes on Armenian military assets.

3/ The main killer in those videos are the Turkish Roketsan MAM-L and MAM-C laser guided munitions fired from the Bayraktar TB2 drone.

This is the Roketsan marketing video:

@CBI_PTO_History Justin,

You have no idea how useful that Japanese search sector map is in understanding SWPA radar deployments and especially putting Operation Chronicle in context.

@CBI_PTO_History This is the Allied Solomons radar site map. Image
@CBI_PTO_History The Allies were strangling Japanese aerial surveillance with their radar deployments.

Where there was Allied radar coverage there were Allied fighters.

@SiriusAstro @BO3673 @IdleMrBridle @BuddNicholas @bermicourt @crusaderproject The US Army in WW2 North Western Europe had a bigger stock of spare parts to repair destroyed tanks than it did replacement tanks...and it did not have enough spares.

See:
403a - Cables – In Log, ETOUSA (Gen Lee), Dec 23-31, 1944

Subject: Twelfth Army Group requirements for
@SiriusAstro @BO3673 @IdleMrBridle @BuddNicholas @bermicourt @crusaderproject ... medium tanks with 75 and 76 millimeter guns from present date to 1 February 1945.

Status of medium tanks, M4, with 75 and 76 millimeter guns in this command as of 16 December 1944 was as follows:

a. Table of Equipment authorization - 2,702
b. Authorized 30 day reserve – 298
@SiriusAstro @BO3673 @IdleMrBridle @BuddNicholas @bermicourt @crusaderproject c. Table of Equipment authorization plus authorized reserve - 3,000
d. Serviceable tanks on hand - 135
e. Unserviceable tanks on hand – 59
f. Estimated combat losses from 16 December 1944 to 1 February 1945 - 600
These facts indicate a total requirement to 1 February 1945...

@crusaderproject What we are seeing here is the AFV equivalent of the 1967 sinking of the Eilat.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Zealo…

Destroyers did not become obsolete because of a pair of Komar missile boats sinking a WW2 Z-Class DD. Neither will AFV's.

Change, however, is now upon AFV's like DD's,
@crusaderproject I will note that current AFV's are sufficiently mobile to generate non-K-Kill misses against unpowered dropped munitions.

Check the second strike video segment.

@crusaderproject The speed with which a counter to the Bayraktar TB2 plus ROKETSAN MAM-L Smart Micro Munition can be countered in the kinetic sense is easily demonstrated by the deployment of one off the shelf and one black world military technology.
