Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called “mines” which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

Curious. They claim NATO exists as self defense against a peer enemy, yet their strategies only work against small, relatively defenseless countries!
that’s honestly a great point i hadn’t thought about that
I mean, has NATO ever tried any of it’s strategies on it’s peers? Can we say they don’t work if they haven’t?
The most they’ve done is wargames and after the Millenium Challenge 2002 shit I don’t know if their wargames could even begin to count as an attempt to even model conflict with a near-peer
Should be noted that even then the US lost so comprehensively in the first day of combat that the generals restarted the entire thing and forced the side playing Iran to essentially sit on their hands
Not to shill for the military here, but part of what happened in MC02 was that the guy playing the red force basically exploited quirks of the simulation, like small civilian airplanes carrying anti-ship missiles and motorcycle messengers arriving at their destinations immediately and without fail…
But the fact that this was even an issue means that the war games are pretty useless and a waste of resources
I haven’t heard that. I heard he made use of motorcycle messengers because he knew the us would disrupt other forms of communication, and that he swarmed the naval forces with tons of fast-moving small vessels rigged with explosives.
