How many military aged men crossed into our country with the Biden invasion? How do we know that they don’t have allegiance to our enemies?
The face, technique and equipment of the next and coming war(s).
The Russians have been using dirt bikes to evade Neocon drones in Ukraine quite effectively.
The modern version of the Mongol or Hun horse backed mounted attacks.
It makes me feel like me and my Tacoma can conquer the world.
Ukraine has little drones that chase down and blow up the bike and rider ,LOL
Regiment and Delta has always used bikes to some degree. When we invaded Panama, Regiment jumped several bike operators and part of the method of securing the airfield and surrounding area, sop for a while.
Also, Japan used bicyles to invade all across SE Asia.
I don’t see any pickups with leather seats and super lifted suspensions. These are real trucks.
The ruling power in any country can lose popular support but maintain its rule by being brutal. But there’s a tradeoff between brutality and popular support. The more brutal, the more power, but the less support. There’s a fine line to tread and once you go over the brutality-too-far line the support drops to zero and no additional brutality can suffice. Assad had passed over the line and it was the Russian supplying the brutality and the Russians couldn’t keep up the brutality and their other obligations. Once the Russians pulled the brutality plug there wasn’t a sufficient supply of loyal Assad people to keep up the required brutality.
On the other hand, had Assad not started the brutality trajectory during the Arab Spring, he’d have been out of power long, long ago. Was it worth it? His personal wealth was estimated in the billions. But reportedly Putin has seized Assad’s wealth. Damn! Bad luck, eh?
On to Tel Aviv?
Looks impressive, until a rocket-propelled grenade or automatic mortar is used.
An PRG rangefinder could be mounted on a gun. The gun could then be pointed up to match the range. Off the RPG goes. Off the Jihadist soon goes to the 72 virgins.
As for the LA dirt bikes, a police pickup truck with two horizontally extendable ‘antenna’ poles can block one direction of a street. A second truck could then close off the street.
As for the Bronx, a victim might have $20-$60 in cash on him.
The bike is worth a thousand or more.
Amendment XIII of our Constitution is written so criminals can be sold into slavery.
“Neither slavery...except as a punishment for a crime...”
Well, that is prohibited by international law.
Well, the price for incarceration services did seem low.
As a child, I was always barefoot, unless I had to wear shoes, so the spiked weapons the British used to stop the barefoot Indians from approaching the fort had a big impact on me. They looked like the toy Jacks we played with as kids, except they had spikes on the ends.
These would play havoc on motorcycles. For that matter, even on car tires. The only picture I could find of them had a twist of humor I'm sure will bring a smile to many faces.
(From the article) : “.. I had just witnessed a military motorcycle training exercise, and it was unforgettable.
This was my initial introduction to “motorbike warfare.”
A serious fighting force can “appear from nowhere” in just a minute. ..“
“The “Syrian rebels” also had another trick up their sleeves.
Ukrainian “trainers” came down to help the rebels in their war against Russia’s ally, the Assad regime.
The drones were used for ISR as well as direct FPV attack, and caught the Syrian Army completely by surprise.
This example shows how any country could be taken by surprise by the sudden appearance of advanced drones used against their homeland.
Think about all the “mystery drones” reported over New Jersey and elsewhere. “
How did the “Syrian rebels” achieve such a tactical surprise? I’m telling you how..... (in this brief article) [Addendum mine]
MtnClimber : “How many military aged men crossed into our country with the Biden invasion?

rlmorel : ANSWER: “We don’t know, and we don’t know.
Sounds like when the Comanchees got horses.
But if their bikes were EV, is that OK?
It didn’t take long for these stupid articles to appear. Syria was “conquered” by refusal of its armed forces to fight. Except nobody is in charge at this point.
Bracken Article Ping
Even the homeless have better comms than Ike did on D-Day. They can post lookouts, and cover for sneak-thieves, thanks to their Obama phones. It plays out on a lesser scale, with their little BMX bikes all around town, but I see similarities.
Gunna need more cluster kits.
A good supply of recon drones (e.g. Mavic 3) reduces the utility of the pickup trucks and motorcycles in combat situations. In Ukraine pickup trucks and even motorcycles near the front lines are magnets for FPV drones, mortar rounds, and 40 mm grenade launcher fire.
