A person has to get in that tank, and sooner or later, they have to get out again...

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Now you know the true reason behind the ai push

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

IFVs exist for this exact purpose and they typically have minimum 1 per tank if not 2.

You ain't gonna get very far when theres a 25mm auto cannon spraying and praying in your general direction.

Plus the coaxial 7.62 MGs

Plus the hull mounted M2 .50 cal MGs.

Why do you think separatists and resistance movements have to rely on IEDs and forcing fights in urban environments with a metric ton of cover available?

Why do you think they get steamrolled by mechanized armored units like almost every time that forces them into guerilla fighting tactics like digging tunnels and using mountainous terrain?

Yeah, this is why the us won in Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam...... Why they must have stood no chance at all, not like an armed and modivated population could put a modern force in a quagmire for 20 years.... The us is just difference somehow (citation needed) then the rest of the world.

Gulf War 1 was literally the king of all curbstomps and the Taliban fell just as fast to a swarm of CAS, even though they had the NWA completly surrounded.

Only Vietnam survived because surprise surprise they had a hefty mechanized supply line provided by the USSR via China.

Gulf 2 and the aftermath in Afghanistan was still a ridiculously long occupation that all hinged on the idea that the US no longer had any meaningful interest to commit resources and would eventually leave.

Point is, if you wanna go down the route of "I need 2A for an oppressive government", you'll quickly find yourself getting into the same situation as everyone else. Unless you form a side via a civil war, you're gonna suffer heavy losses in the initial stage just like everyone else, and commit to long term attrition just like everyone else.

I think you’re missing the spirit of their comment. They are not saying they get out of the tank right then, they are saying eventually everyone has to get out of the tank and go back to their home and if your neighbors aren’t happy with you and are well armed… good luck.

And why the hell do you think revolutionaries will be facing the army in open honorable combat? And what's wrong with doing the fighting in urban areas and digging tunnels?

Sure, an AR-15 won't take down a tank. But if you're even asking if they can, you fundamentally misunderstand how revolutions and insurgencies work.

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Sure, but they will get in that tank inside a well fortified base protected by helecopters with door mounted mini guns and Hellfire missiles, go out and kill people with piddly little AR-15s at an industrial scale, then return to their well fortified bases for afternoon tea.

The second ammendment was wirten back when the people and the government had the same weapons. That isn't the case anymore. If you take on the government, you die. If 100,000 of you take on the government most of you die. Unless you can get a sizeable portion of the peopulation out from in front of Keeping Up with the Kardashains and into the street to protest you're a pedofascist dictatorship for the forseeable future.

You're not wrong, but at least it affords us a fighting chance.
