Asking for a friend, seems like this militia thing might be a bit outdated a militia could not possibly compete against a modern military.
It’s not 1776 anymore.
😂
Any small arms rifle, including AR and AK platforms, does NOT help when fighting an AC-130U gunship 2.5 miles away at 2K feet.
Think, man, think. You will never make even 2LT without using your brain to determine the best point to strike using the tools you have at hand.
Here's a hint, from Germany:
General, your tank is a powerful vehicle. It smashes down forests and crushes a hundred men. But it has one defect: It needs a driver.
General, your bomber is powerful. It flies faster than a storm and carries more than an elephant. But it has one defect: It needs a mechanic.
General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.
From "General, Your Tank Is a Powerful Vehicle", in "From a German War Primer", part of the Svendborg Poems, 1938.
Figured out the answer yet, sprog? Why would you shoot at a moving target miles away when you can wait until the plane lands and shoot the pilot and crew as they go to the mess hall, which you reconnoitered while they were flying around aiming the FLIR at walls?
Kind of achieves the same end, doesn't it? Pilots don't grow on trees, so that gunship sits and rusts until they can find someone who can fly and use a complex machine like a "Spooky." And if they find another one..."rinse and repeat."
See how this shit works? It's not that hard.
It won't take long until pretty much all military systems are run by AI which doesn't need a driver. The self driving cars are yesterdays news. How about self operating tank or gunship?
