Those aren’t “types” of obstacles, they are the different effects that an obstacle can create. Just for myself, I can’t imagine expending the effort to build an obstacle that wasn’t covered. But I’m very lazy, so there’s that.

It’s the right idea, but would be practically difficult. To truly register a target, you need to shoot at the target and then adjust fire until the rounds are hitting where you want. In a heavily wooded terrain (and if it’s not, they’ll just drive around your abatis) it’s very difficult to get the stand-off you need…

At this point, I feel like it is important to mention Adolf Hitler.

Yeah, but nothing better than making them stop and bunch up first.

Yes.

I think an obstacle not covered by observation and fire is not worth the time it took to make it. “Bad technique, you are a no-go at this station” (as, um, I may have been told).

[Sound of slow, awe-struck clapping]

Then you get to shoot all of the people who are no longer buttoned up behind inches of armor because they are now dismounted and playing with chains - obstacles must always be covered by fire. If you can also blow trees behind the lead vehicles, so much the better. Armor on the move is really scary. Armor at the halt…

I just hope both transmissions have fun.

Click on NeonBlaqk’s profile in the quote above. Decent assumption.

That Yankees fan in the red Ram has a really big tailpipe, tho. I wouldn’t mess with him, ‘cause he’s obviously the real deal.

More a grammar joke, but...

What this guy said.

Incorrect. And after the air defense system is knocked back, the F-35B can carry 14,000 pounds of ordnance under its wings - 3,000 more than the F-18 it replaces.

I think it’s at least 10 years too late to ask that question. It should have been asked when the decision was made to pretend we could perform three different missions with the same aircraft at a low cost, despite the utter failure of the F-111 to prove that was possible.

100%. You’d have thought we would have learned something with the TFX/F-111.

Yes and no. We only have 20 B-2s - they can’t be everywhere, all the time, and they’ll be based outside the AO, so they’ll take even longer to cycle a mission. Also, they’re tremendously expensive to fly. JSF’s will be in theater, at much closer ranges. They’ll carry internal until the air defense system is knocked…

Mohawk!

EW, not EO. Entirely different thing. The future belongs to those who own RF waveforms.

I can’t even count the number of combat sorties that have been flown by the AV-8B, none of which required paying for an aircraft carrier AND its escorting ships. For the price of an expensive STOVL aircraft, every big deck amphib (and some of the smaller ones, perhaps) becomes a capital ship - a small aircraft…
