For what, to hide in the woods vs. the entire Woke Revolutionary U.S. Military?
How did hiding heat signatures help the Armenians?
It probably didn’t - but another 1,000 rounds of 7.62mm isn’t going to do diddly, either.
Point is, it’s best not to ever be seen, but the arm-chair rebels don’t seem to get why that is and how this won’t be 1861.
6. MASKING: During the war the Armenians could not hide. Physical camouflage was ineffective. One Armenian soldier said: “We cannot hide, and we cannot fight back.” Unable to mask from enemy sensors and precision strikes, the Armenians were demoralized. If camouflage is no longer enough, then a new concept of “masking” is required. Masking is the ability to become hard to detect and difficult to target. Masking involves a full spectrum effort to employ all active and passive means to confuse, disaggregate, disrupt, jam, and deceive the enemy’s sensors and targeting network. Masking will require new systems that minimize thermal and electronic signatures. Masking will also require new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). In the modern battlespace you either mask or die.
