Israel plans using mini nukes to blow up Iran nuclea facilities

[David Floyd]

Yes, but those weren't (really) combat missions, at least not in the sense of the 1967 or 1973 wars.

[KrazyHorse]

Neither was Osirak

[David Floyd]

Yes, but it was a long range strike, which was my point.

Are we really reduced to this? Point-counterpoint arguing?

[KrazyHorse]

Isn't that what all military discussions of this type devolve to?

There are no examples of real forces fighting each other for so far back that it's basically all hypothetical...

[Saras]

Canadian paras have helicoptered to a lightly defended beach. A supply barge was taken out by one Spike ATGM. An engineer squad lost four men advancing on dug-in IDF infantry. One CF-18 was damaged by a stinger and RTB'd.

and even if there was such an example it often amounts to nothing, as doctrines and organization are constantly changing.

So this is about nukes. Which means the canada israel point is about BUDGET, ergo RESOURCES, not capabilities. Ergo MY point about conscripts was relevant, and YOUR response about quality was a distraction. You threadjacked your own point. Self-pwned.

WTF are you talking about, son?

This seriously makes no sense. The discussion strayed into capabilities because my point about budget provided an opportunity for Drake to troll about capabilities, which I bit on by providing a troll of my own, which you bit on and which led to this wonderful pile of poo.

Why do we have to attack? Force the IDF into the breech...

[David Floyd]

Since when does the butter attack the knife?

[KrazyHorse]

Since I want to make sure of the result I'm looking for

ah, thats cause I made TWO points in my post. The first part responding to the back and forth between you and drake, and simply noted that is was pointless.

The "BTW" was a direct response to your budget numbers, and had nothing to do with Drakes posts or your responses to them.

Sniper and LMG fire suppressed two dug-in IDF infantry squads on beach exit, allowing Capt. Cosens to assault their positions, wiping out one squad (10 men) and forcing the other to retreat with heavy casualties (2 out of original 10 remain). One more squad ~150 m to the south took two casualties from naval arty but stands fast.

[KrazyHorse]

What are we shelling them with? HMCS Iroquois or HMCS Montreal?

[Saras]

No clue, generic naval 5in guns is what WinSPMBT has in Canada 2006 OOB.

[Drake Tungsten]

Can't we just admit that the US would annihilate both the IDF and the Canadians and be done with this?
