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

Same reason why it doesn't happen in most countries, the central government is functional enough and thus roving bandits can't gain legitimacy as a political force across the country, it happens in africa because the politician are all obvious western puppet that put money in their pockets and kill their own legitimacy because they expect to just flee if anything happens

>Is it because India is just 10 countries wearing a trench coat?
More or less, over the last 35 years there's been a growing standardization of regional identities. Currently I'd say there are roughly seven prominent cultural regions. the Hindi Heartland, the Punjabi–Himalayan region, Western India, Bengal, the Telugu–Kannada Southeast, the Tamil–Malayalam South and the English-speaking Northeast. This is just ignoring internal divisions like caste and religion.
These regions are culturally distinct enough that they can almost be thought of as separate nations. They have different languages, traditions, and historical experiences, beyond periods when they were incorporated into the same large empires. The idea of India as a single civilization is one of the few narratives that has broad support across much of the political spectrum, with both the left and the right generally embracing it.

they didnt have a Mao. they reached the limits of national developmentalism, liberal democracy and third world socialism. the problem was the big landowners had too much power and pull in the government. they were the obstacle to do land reforms which were necessary for big industrialisation like mao started. although the indians did try.

At the opening stages of Ukraine V Russia, Ukraine tried this. It was mostly wasted effort that did not resolve the issues at hand.

Fedposting bad.

Next off, a revolution would not be led by socialist thought, rather reactionary thought in America.

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".

>LMAO no.
no what ? do you deny you can shoot down a recon drone with a simple motor airplane ?

>Russia shot down those several times

even if they did, the idea was more using it into your own safe airspace. And using any missile to shoot it down, you're still paying too much.

>Jet fighters are needed, as are slower low-tech aircraft, as are SAMs. This is what combined warfare is

no shit, way to miss the point.

>rather than doing what the Su-34 and Su-25 do.

any jet fighter will be a magnitude more expensive than a regular motor plane

>only low tech aircraft

I didnt advocate for having ONLY them. But do you really need a jet for lobbing FAB-500s ?

Your spacing is ass, please don't do this.
>no what ?
You realize that people can scroll up and see exactly what I'm saying "no" to right? The fact is that Ukraine has failed to shoot down drones with its trainers, since it's literally pulling WW-1 shit, with people firing handguns out of open cockpits. There's literally a Russian drone video where they try and fail to shoot it down.
>even if they did, the idea was more using it into your own safe airspace.
*laughs in long range SAM*
You realize that Ukraine has been using very long range stand-off weapons like cruise missiles and are STILL getting shot down, right? Only a few days ago an Su-35 shot down a MiG-29 - which was using a HARM missile in a long-range ground-strike - from over 200km away, with an R-37. Earlier in the war the S-300V4 set a similar record kill from a similar distance of over 200km. An S-400 shot down an Su-27 over Kiev earlier in the war from 150km away. Pantsir, Osa and Tor SPAAG/SAMs have shot down numerous low-flying missiles, drones and other aircraft.
>using any missile to shoot it down, you're still paying too much.
If you're an idiot using patriot anti-ballistic long-range missiles against drones. A single Tor missile costs maybe a couple thousand dollars. A single yak-52 costs 50-100 thousand dollars, so you're dead wrong.
>way to miss the point.
I didn't miss your point. I don't disagree in the necessity of low-tech aircraft, but not like Ukraine is doing, and frankly an attack chopper would do just as well, if not better.
>any jet fighter will be a magnitude more expensive than a regular motor plane
Any jet fighter would also be magnitudes more effective.
>do you really need a jet for lobbing FAB-500s
In an SAM-heavy air-space like Ukraine? YES.

>The idea of it going to 2025
There is a lesson there. Stop being emotional, stop eating the propaganda slop, study everything and look closely at the serious people involved in war and political theory. Honestly I didn't need to do half of that to be sure that this stupid war would last a while so if you were wrong you really need to revamp your way of thinking

America seeks its McDonald’s model for missile making

<Defence groups are developing modular workshops that can mass-produce cheap missiles during wartime


>The building in north-east Virginia is squat and unremarkable. But inside, rows of missiles lie on worktops waiting to be primed by young technicians for America’s next war. 


>“This is all set up for if we have to go very fast,” said Doug Denneny, a greying veteran whose defence group Co-Aspire rents the warehouse. He strides past a dozen workstations where warheads would be slotted into open-bellied missiles.


>The workshop is designed to solve a simple problem: the US does not produce enough missiles, and those that it does are eye-wateringly expensive. As the country’s munitions stockpiles dwindled during the conflict with Iran, finding ways to produce quickly, cheaply and at scale has become an increasingly urgent challenge.


>Working at full surge capacity, it would currently take the Pentagon years rather than months to replace missiles fired at Iran. America produces only 600 Tomahawks every year, and they cost about $2.6mn apiece. The PrSM and JASSM, two other mainstays, each cost around $1.6mn and $1.9mn.


>“The American arsenal is based exclusively on expensive, exquisite and hard-to-produce weapons systems,” said Michael Horowitz, a former Pentagon official responsible for defence innovation. “We have entered a different era of warfare, and now the US needs to change.”

(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.

The rex from Iraq tell us that if you try to ambush soldiers you tend to die and you will suffer 8 losses per soldier you kill, but plant IEDs and you will kill 3 soldiers per insurgent shot.

This information is already public, I can not be held responsible for what someone might do with it.

The US seems to lose to guerillas or revolutionaries more often than it would like to. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua. Which begs the question: what are some countries that the US/West cannot afford to "lose". I am talking about countries that the US would do ANYTHING to prevent from "falling" or "turning sides", like do occupation of Poland or Manchuria levels of violence to maintain influence or whatever.

>>4670
Their immediate neighbour Canada would be the most obvious and easiest answer.

Following close behind would be Japan and South Korea in that order.

Potential countries the US might go crazy for are the UK, France, Germany and Australia.

Not sure where to put Mexico tbh.

funny hypothetical: what if very blunt, hooked pikes were used to fight riot police using modified push of pike tactics? the hook for grabbing shields and blunt protrusion for pushing them back; rioters press together tightly with rear echelons supporting and pushing forward the most physically able pikemen at the front. batons and shields outranged, streets perfect for a line of pikes, cops can't do regular psychological intimidation because even if the front of the formation wanted to flee they couldn't. gambeson if layered heavily could probably withstand limited amounts of birdshot and rubber bullets. severe weaknesses would be flash bangs, gas, water hoses targeting the rear and of course cops learning to using pikes.

i think they would shoot you

How about mancatchers? Keep in mind though that even protest signs are spun as deadly weapons.

You would need to convince and train so many people and smuggle so many weapons in protest you would probably be arrested before even reaching one

"Jumping is the opposite of gravity."

Nothing is the opposite of natural selection. It's a natural law that's always in play. It's a flawed social Darwinist idea that there's some intrinsically superior phenotype according to the (non-existent) "laws of evolution" that "deserves" to survive; natural selection just determines who gets to survive in a given situation based on an arbitrary set of traits. It can be pseudo-random or even select for traits that we wouldn't consider superior for various reasons. In a mass shooting situation, maybe people who prefer bright colors get selected against because they're easier to see.



 

AKs are good, but ARs are cheaper, more reliable, easier to repair, and easier to arm and equip, train with, EVERYTHING.
Friends don't let Friends train with they can't afford to maintain. Get them on a deal/sale and get your preferences sorted on the cheap, get good ammo.

>>6294
been thinking this for quite a while now, always been a fan of m4's but the history of the ak being the peoples rifle is kind of hard to ignore. but yeah in future movements, the ar should most definitely be considered. the ak was good for liberation f the third world (or at least, some of the third world) because it was so durable and mass produced, but recent movements should move to something more refined. more technical, precise, and capable. I really hope to get one when I come of age someday.

You should get the same assault rifle your local army uses actually

>>6299
agreed!
