Strait of Hormuz shipping traffic is effectively at a standstill despite ceasefire- Iran says ships wanting to transit need Iranian permission

[QP!]

​

He's locked into an idea like his Orange Daddy. He can't compromise, see the two sides of a problem nor admit he could be wrong. Some people are like that their entire lives, but in Terry's case, it's clearly a worsening condition. An ignominious end for a military retiree. Sad

It is worsening. He somehow thinks the world technology wise has not improved since the early 1900's or WW2 when it comes to EV's or drones with AI.

his arguments are so laughably stupid i guess we should not even engage them as if serious and should just point and laugh at them.

The US and Russia and all major countries are reacting to the effectiveness of this new era of drone warfare and here Terry is saying 'they are all wrong and do not need to as drones have not changed since WW2 and were never effective'. I mean 'what the fuck'??

 

[T. A. Gardner]

And here we go where once again Terry thinks technology does not change and that all the military experts and generals speaking about how this NEW drone age, driven by AI is changing warfare and Terry says 'nope they are all wrong as they tried drones back in ww2 and they were not effective'.

On every topic like that i point out the same thing which is you are the most ignorant person possible when it comes to improving and changing technology. You state EV use has not improved since the early 1900's and now drones have not improved since ww2.

You truly are stuck on stupid like the 90 year old senile man who thinks the world stop improving when he was in his prime and young and nothing better has come along since.

YOu are truly laughable stupid that you have no comprehension of how drones and AI are changing warfare, in each battle we now see across the world.

The technology got better but so did technology to counter drones. You have what on military history boards is usually referred to as "Nazi fanboi syndrome." This is a general label given those that think that some unilateral single change to something in a war would turn the tide and let the losing side win. This is most often done with WW 2 and the Germans, hence the label.

If only the Germans had jet fighters earlier...

If only the Germans had the Tiger tank in 1940...

Your position is the laughable one. You'd get eaten alive on any decent military history board bringing up that sort of bullshit as a 'What if' topic.

Those cheap Iranian drones using what amounts to large RC airplane engines are little more than skeet when you really think about it. The more they use them the more the other side will build and deploy systems that shoot them down in droves.

And you have what is called stupid syndrom on this forum.

We are not diminishing conventional weapons. They are great and effective but they also cost WAY more than drones and you usually have to fire 2 or sometimes more at each incoming drone heading towards a city to ensure a kill shot.

the point is drones give "shit hole" countries a very effective way to fight now, whereas prior they had no real way to counter conventional weapons other than digging in at home and trying to make the fight personal and dirty.

Now if Iran and its allies in the region build masses of drones and focus on the two straits and pipelines transporting oil they pose a massive threat as an offensive threat to the worlds economy.

He rambles. He used to be a student of history and can provide historical facts but strays from staying on point.

An example being that he can't see why using a $3M Patriot missile to shoot down a $40K drone is not a sustainable strategy. He's irrational. Many MAGAts are but what is different about Terry is that he used to be rational but has deteriorated over the past couple years. Dementia or some form of cognitive decline is at work.

The US military already has effective countermeasures in place and in development:

Those aren't used against drones. They're used against ballistic missiles.

The Straight is still under Iranian control and "negotiations" have failed. But negotiations were doomed from the start because trump's "negotiators" are just trump's corrupt son-in-law and trump's golf buddy.

trump is a fool for getting us dragged into another mid-East dumpster fire. No amount of "bombing the Iranian people" is going to change that. The IRGC could give 2 shits about the Iranian people, they're religious zealots with a death-wish.

Republicans are idiots and so are you.
