RAFALE

This is a beautiful piece of French military hardware and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

Shot down by inbred pakis

given our reputation, why would anyone buy french military stuff

What shot it down?

France has a great military reputation
Just not in the Sea
Or the land
Or the air
Or with nukes

Actually, why the hell does France have a good reputation again?

France is the biggest military in Europe

That's not saying much

Turkey is by far the second largest in NATO.
"B-but Turkey isn't Europe", then Poland beats France still.

Yeah but Poland don't have a mic like France does. They produce everything in house and desu, their military equipment is actually decent.

becouse it not russian , american and chinese

since when Poland have his own military industry? they only have old Nato shit and even older soviet crap, stronger than France? lmao.

French junk just got shot down by Chink jets and Soviet SPAAGs operated by 75IQ pakis.

Amerimutts were defeated by goat-fuckers armed with rusty AKs, imagine spending billions a year for 20 years on a failed invasion, why anyone would by mutt weapons?

The only way to win a guerrilla war without being a guerrilla is to destroy the local population.

The war was won on the ground and America could have remained in control indefinitely so long as it remained popular at home. There were like 20 American deaths per year by 2020, 2021.

It became politically toxic, they left, and the shell collapsed. Oh well. Wasn't the fault of the weapons.

euroCOPEtriangle

just because it's the best of the rest doesn't mean it's any good

USA! USA! USA!

The war was won

I could post a webm of low IQ goat fuckers dancing on captured Amerimutt bases, with billions in captured weaponry, also the goal was to stop jihadist extremists, but oddly enough they're now extremely united and strengthened, to the point where they're now the strongest military in the Middle East, "The war was won" holy kek.

they mean the battles were won you retard

Tactical victory, strategic defeat. Same pattern as usual for Americans. I kind of expect them to defeat China but also get fucked somehow like they sacrifice all their men and end up falling behind them 5 years later or some dumb shit like this, seems to be an habit at this point.

The war was won. America was in control for 20 years and, as I said, could have remained in control for however long it wanted. That they lost interest after 20 years of stomping them into the dirt doesn't prove much.
Some cockroaches coming out from behind the cabinets after they left doesn't mean anything either.

now extremely united and strengthened, to the point where they're now the strongest military in the Middle East

Just plainly not true.

Apologize to the JF-17
Apologize to the F-16C

Where did I say that the war was won? It's just that all these measurements with dicks don't work in guerrilla wars, even if you have the strongest army

history is full of guerilla movements getting defeated

the problem is that it's usually a long game that takes at least a generation, the occupying force (or the government they set up) must be able to last out the long tail of sporadic violence without letting it escalate too much again.

usually it takes a new generation to reach fighting age and decide that all this rebel shit just ain't worth the trouble and they'd rather make money in the system as it is

Counterinsurgency is like 90% effective governance, intelligence gathering and policing and 10% military tactics/strategy, assuming you've dealt with all large units capable of conducting field warfare around company or battalion scale and up.

It's pajeets. Just let us send one to Ukraine with a competent pilot and you will see. We sent mirages and they did fine.

It was pajeets flying the plane true. But they were fighting pakis...

it's just monkey models tovarisch!

monkey pilots!

send real pilot and you will see our glorious hardware kill inferior anglo product!

well why don't you send "advisors" over to show your melanine enriched clientele how it's done then

Tactical victory, strategic defeat.

fancy wording to say being defeated.

The war was won.

Lmao, jeet tier lvl of delusion, also stop moving the goal post.

Teaching can only go so far

mg3/42 is the best belt feed machine gun ever made. you dont pass in front if it, you just dont.

t. have used it

mocks westoids for losing in afghanistan

posts coomer fanart of his own defeat in afghanistan

what is this supposed to accomplish, hivan?

Give an example of such counter-guerrilla warfare. Literally any example of successful counter-guerrilla war is an example of genocide. Plus there may be an agreement with local chieftains or something

the integration of Central Asia into the Russian Empire
the soviet occupation of the Baltics post ww2 (insurgency died out in the mid 50s)
Malayan Emergency
etc etc etc

most occupations, colonial wars, territorial expansions had some insurgency afterwards and it was usually dealt with without outright genocide. genocide gets remarked upon because it's not typical. if you have to resort to it there's probably an issue with your ability to effectively project power and police the area.

there may be an agreement

that's just effective governance. you get the local elites on your side and gradually integrate them.

terrorists when you occupy them

whaaaaaaaaa this is colonialism!!!! we are poor victims!!!! free muhammedstan!!

terrorists when you stop occupying them

HAHAHAHAHA WE WON YOU'RE WEAK AND CAN'T HANDLE OUR POWERFUL WARRIORS *beheads woman for showing her ankle in public*

the problem here is that the military aspect alone won't get you lasting peace and victory

the US could occupy Afghanistan indefinitely if it wanted to, the Taliban was not a serious military threat to a commited US force. but staying indefinitely was never the goal, the goal was to set up a government that can keep order on its own and fuck off. they failed in the latter respect so it will forever be remembered as a defeat.

The Spanish Army hates it for being obsolete and is trying to upgrade to the M249, but I guess is fine on a tank or something.

hivan

Yes Putin is paying me, cool guy.

pubic hair instead of timestamp

why do this

everybody loves to be mean to us, it feels like its too easy

Shouldn't have surrendered in WW2

the integration of Central Asia into the Russian Empire

There was no guerrilla warfare back then. Guerrilla warfare began with the Basmachi rebellion. It lasted from 1916 until the 1930s. And as I said above, the rebellion was suppressed only thanks to terror and an agreement with local elites.

Likewise, the Forest brothers were suppressed by repression and collaboration of local commies.

Just do a reverse image search and see if I'm pulling this image off the internet, assuming you're not retarded, there's always some amerimuttcum slurperr who accuses you of being Russian when you mock amerimutts for losing in Afghanistan.

The biggest British defeat in WW2

Italy, spain, russia.... nearly any serious country would beat whatever military france has left in a matter of hours

Poland would fucking glass Spain, Spain has the lowest military budget in all of NATO.

Cool plane but I prefer Gripen.
It wasn't. Only 2 Mirage 2000s.
