/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

I've been thinking about drones, especially small FPV ones. Everyone talks about how its going to change warfare yada yada. But the really disruptive thing is that it enables individuals to target the ruling class much easier.

Think about guns for example. Before guns, you needed to have expensive armor, swords, shields, spears, bows and extensive training to be a lethal soldier. Only the elites could afford that, and that's why peasant/slave revolutions were not only few and far between, but they all were brutally put down quite easily.

Once guns came into the picture, the elites were not so safe anymore, and there came about a change in political structures to accomodate the masses more both politically and economically.

Now I think drones are another step in this direction. Indivuduals can easily build drones, and with advances in AI, then can just create a program instructing it to fly and identify a wealthy elite and kill them. With proper op-sec, someone can release a drone a mile away in a forest, set it on its kill path, and then run away.

The elites can be killed en-masse with the security forces having a very tough time trying to counter it and identify the perpetrators. Now all of this is theoretical of course, but technological acceleration is going to make this a reality much sooner than you think.

This is why I think the push for mass surveillance is happening. The elites are aware that there is a material change coming in the relative military power of organized armies and disparate dissident lone wolfs. Mass surveillance is the only way to ensure they can counter the lone wolfs.

What breaks or bends if women get drafted? Does the 'protect women' instinct finally die? Would shared foxholes bond the or poison everything?

Personal opinion is if the Queens want the crown, they need to carry the sword.

WAR FOOTAGE
Thread for posting military footage (mp4, webm, gif, etc.) and photographs of action from wars, battles and so on. Spoiler gore. The primary purpose of this thread is for pure fighting, not torture-porn, if you think gore-spam is funny you belong on 4cuck.

Non-combat military videos can also apply (vid 2 rel)

Is it because India is just 10 countries wearing a trench coat?

What can we learn from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and this example of relatively modern warfare? Strategy, tactics, operations, geopolitical responses, information warfare, civilian pov and response. Anything related. Not the thread to talk about "who is in the right".

Meme thread for /AK/
Post memes, stories, funny shit and /k/ screencaps.

(Just in case some /leftypol/ tourist starts yelling 'glow fed', I'm not American, this is purely out of curiosity, if anyone were serious they wouldn't be discussing it on a public pan-african permagrowth-designing forum, and it's not my fault if your opsec is atrociously shit)

The vid rel (from Examined Life) was posted a while ago, the punchline being the El Salvadorean telling the pessimistic American 'don't you have mountains in the US?' 'It's easy, you go to the mountains, you start an armed cell, you create revolution.' A recent reply retorted, absurdly, that the government would 'just McNuke' them.

It got me thinking a bit, the US despite MacArthur's efforts didn't iNuke any country since Japan and I suspect it would be very unlikely to do it on a civilized part of their own mainland. And ultimately, even in the modern age, the US has failed to really utilize their weaponry dominance. It's easy for the naive eye to look at drones, gun-dogs, tanks and planes and forget just how effective asymmetric warfare can be against superpowers.

The questions:
- Is creating a base of operations onnamountains a viable tactic in the US?
- Are there any modern US examples of successful guerilla tactics, urban or rural? Possible examples could include organized crime or rural compounds.
- How is asymmetric warfare changed by proximity? US wars in Asia and further have a noticeable supply issue with distance.
