A Chinese DF-2 IRBM silo is now housing a DF-3 ICBM. Just because you have the launch pad that can support an ICBM does not mean you have one. To suggest so is ludicrous to the extreme.
The French are going in 1st and before anyone starts the hoopla, I've worked with them in UNPROFOR. They don't take crap anymore than anyone else. This would be an armed force, not the unarmed UNIFIL. The French, like all other UN experienced contingents, will obey their own RoEs and not the...
We will never know Hizbollah's casualty list. I doubt even Hizbollah itself knows. It is an irregular force. It does not keep lists of its personnel in case their records are compromised.
If I can get VII Corps across the Rhine while under fire from the 16Guards and the 1st Moscow, they can re-establish LOCs in a week. It may not be bridges, it may be simple ferries but don't think for one second that a determined force cannot re-establish LOCs if the ground threat is absent.
What? Go back to school!
WebMaster edit: I didn't expect this from you Officer. Forum is the place to educate and share ideas with each other. If he doesn't have that much knowledge that doesn't mean that you start the personal attacks against him. I am really disappointed.
My apologies but I actually have a beef with that ranking. ALL WORLD WAR III ARMIES ARE BETTER THAN ISRAEL! And by WWIII, I mean the Fulda Gap. Those who know me from WAB has seen me shot down this Israeli ranking. It's undeserved.
Israel in its entirety chickened out when the Soviets...
And you're absolutely right but give it a day and you will have stories on how two Hezbollah guerrillas with BB guns drove the entire Israeli army back across the border.
Within historical context, is this a Tet or is this a Lang Soon (the final big battle of the 1st Sino-Vietnam War)? Tet...
And now the propaganda sets in. The Israelis lost nothing, not even the battle. All Hezbollah did was to show that they could take a punch and throw a few of their own. The Israelis owns the battlefield.
I don't know. I'm not an Israeli corps commander. However, it's obvious that you have to deny the Hezbollah room to move and to my bellycrawler mind means a blocking force.
I suggest you gentlemen study the 1979 1st Sino-Vietnam War. The PLA achieved all their OPOBJs but were embarrassed by their dismal performance even though they laid waste to Northern Vietnam.
Five years later in the 1984 2nd Sino-Vietnam War, they exacted their vengence.
Hezbollah has been...
I believe the Israeli has a policy that they can take ... but they must pay. IsDF soldiers occupying Palestinian homes are under orders to sleep on the floor, move all valueables and breakables out of the way and must pay for any damage that they've caused in the home.
