The United States will never understand that while they are a technologically advanced army, they will consistently get smoked by countries with a far more rudimentary arsenal. It's been happening in every war since Vietnam.
The US could probably steamroll Russia in a week, because both countries will try to deploy the latest tech they have, and the US blows Russia out of the water. But in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia ... etc, their stealth jets and raptors stand no chance with weapons so old that those new systems didn't even account for.
- elendilm 6mo agoUS is not a technologically advanced army just the most expensive one. Centralized systems are not technologically advanced systems. Iran's distributed architecture makes it technically advanced than US not to mention hypersonics which is a technology US doesn't have.
- _DeadFred_ 6mo agoThe US rescored both crew from this aircraft while Iran's distributed architecture was dedicated to finding them within it's own country.
- elendilm 6mo agoLosing 2 Black Hawks & 1 C-130 and others. Why are you deliberately trying to hide the details. And what has it to do with distributed architectures. You must not be good at what you do.
- _DeadFred_ 6mo agoThe 'superior' distributed architecture you hyped failed to capture even one of the two individuals in their territory, and failed to a non-distributed centralized world spanning synchronized architecture. I was simply pointing out your superior model failed. The model you hyped has no military benefit, it only serves to act as 'terror cells'. In this case lobing missiles at civilian shipping/civilian infrastructure in neighboring countries. The important information was the US was able to rescue their people, loss of equipment doesn't matter. When we removed Bin Laden we lost an helicopter. Equipment loses that don't degrade our capabilities don't matter to the US. There were ZERO American casualties in an operation in Iran, where the USA basically setup their own airfield, and Iranian forces tried to engage.
- elendilm 6mo agoNuclear armed nations with the most expensive military controlling massive logistics supply route attacked and lost the war and were forced to escalate to nuclear detonation and then to ceasefire talks. Buddy. That is not how winning looks like. If casualty count is your criteria, then Soviet Union was defeated in world war 2 according to you. If you think distributed architecture is about rescuing a bunch of people, then clearly you haven't done any serious work in your life. Go write some code and build some distributed systems.

- elendilm 6mo agoIdiots watch Iron Man come flying and think US can steamroll Russia. Iran alone is beating the shit out of US. Thinking it can steamroll Russia is not even funny. Some serious epidemic of Hollywood syndrome permeates the US.
