I'm sure people will have the same reaction to this as with the VT-4 right? /s

This seems to the logic —

When western weapons malfunction or fail — the fault lies with operator inexperience or improper maintenance.

When Chinese or Russian weapons malfunction or fail — cause its junk.

Obviously USN is undertrained and inept and can’t use or maintain the weapons properly. If the Wanwanese military used them it will have 270 percent success rate.

Northrop Grumman's CCA2 received the YFQ-48A designation, making it the first contract awarded in the second phase of CCA.

So, CCA2 just an improvement over CCA1 with IWB and claims to reduce costs? The narrative that PLA subsonic CCA are equivalent to CCA1 is completely reversed; CCA2 is at most equivalent to Type C and E.

) which includes this interesting load out for an MQ-9 Reaper.

I didn’t know MQ-9 could handle payloads that big! I guess they have had some upgrades over time? I guess if Reapers are capable of conducting strikes in Venezuela their air defences must non-existent.

SpaceX is building a constellation of satellites for the US Armed Forces called MILNET. The constellation will consist of 480 satellites which I assume are a variant of Starlink.

MILNET is designed to operate as a high-capacity “backbone” layer alongside the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) currently being built by the Space Development Agency (SDA).

While the SDA’s Transport Layer focuses on low-latency tactical data inputs (such as Link 16), MILNET provides the heavy-lift data transport required to move massive intelligence and sensor files across theaters. This hybrid approach allows the USSF to utilize SpaceX’s volume production to achieve orbital density, complementing the SDA’s multi-vendor tactical mesh.

These satellites will utilize lasers for mesh communication. Initial operating capability is expected in 2027 with first deployments to start this year (2026).

decapitation strike not only come from hard physical strike , if any nation dare to do that alone they gonna either end up like russia early 2022 or worst , even if they manage to win somehow that gonna be very costly victory

large part of it come from non-physical effort before the real strike happen . sactions , economic attack , blockable , sabotage ....etc destroy the target country economy , ability to make money , trash population quality of life to the point they basically low-key welcome invader , ready to sell out their boss/gov offical/president/leader once invader offer a better deal

US will not able to captured maduro easy like that if they don't heavily saction , sabotage venezuela to hell , ruin the country economy , trash the population quality of life so much for years before launching final strike , same as what they did with iraq

you can give venezuela military most advantage air-defense missile in world ....still it doesn't matter if venezuela military have no interest to fight
