sorry i don't speak chopsticks

I dont understand the need to clear it. Just bypass it and drop some drones on them.

Less fire support, more ISR. And its not even really the quality of the ISR, we had thermals at 30k ft 20 years ago; but its how organic and reactive it is, previously intel would have to filter down the CoC to you which would optimistically take 5 minutes but realistically would get held up somewhere; now everybody in the fire team can be in constant direct dialog with their eye in the sky.

Why not just assault it with heavy armor and then let the mechanized infantry debus and clear it with grenades and flamethrowers?

Ive never seen such neat trenches in Ukraine. And there is going to be more that one loitering drone. These tactics sound like the current Russian/Ukraine tactics that yield high as fuck casualties on both sides. Grim.

>>65215623
the casualties come from being a conscript army

STOP BUNCHING UP YOUR FUCKING RETARDS

also, they did not use enough nades. they just tossed one (1) in each tunnel

>>65215615
>bypass it
What if they fly drones out of it to hit you from behind? you don't want to leave an enemy position behind you like that.

>>65215619
Portable AT weapons means that vehicles must stay at a certain range from enemy infantry positions

>>65215585
all those guys tight packed are drone meat.

The correct approach is:

* artillery
* drones (oversight + suicide)
* more artillery
* then more drones for whatever isn't turned into sufficiently thin paste yet

Then and only then do you send in infantry.

>>65215623
>there is going to be more that one loitering drone
I think the main takeaway is massing the available SAWs to create a counter UAS security team and also they use their own drones to maintain overwatch and if any enemy drone operator position is suspected it would be pounded with artillery.

I don't know about the soldiers being so close together like this. I don't think a few SAWs are enough to keep the sky clear of drones, and just one getting through could kill a whole squad.
Webmrel, russian trench assault that gets foiled by just a few grenade drops.

>>65215747
You don't really see footege of drops like that anymore for a reason, their own drones overwatch the assaulting force, there's a battle for drone dominance that happens before and during the infantry battle to determine which side has an advantage.

>all the anons not understanding that this is just a morale boost
Infantry ans tankers are almost virtually guaranteed to die now a days in drone saturated areas. If drones spot you theyre going to endlessly come until Youre dead unless your own drones can deal with their operators.

>added another layer of fire support?
>>65215761
>drone saturated areas
It's just another layer of dominance. But ty. I will separate air power from dronve coverage. Every layer is just another facet.

Lose dominance of one or more facets, struggle and/or lose.

Works pretty good against orange drones. Some day drones will sport camo paint jobs. Put me in the sceencap.

Japan hasn't fought a ground war in the last 80 years so I would trust Ukrainian tactics over Japanese tactics.

The japs were always pissy poopoo at ground tactics and only ever succeeded when their enemy was even pissier and poopier. The frontlines in china were basically them taking turns occupying the same city because neither side could defend.

It's meant to be visible for the audience wathing from a certain distance.

>>65215804
it's literally based on Ukrainian tactics.

The most reliable counter we have for FPV drones is just infantry shooting them with rifles.

>>65215633
Honestly I never got why this hasn't been a bigger takeaway for most militaries given how much small and/or precise HE is on the battlefield these days.

>>65216275
There is no takeaway, they're just simply doing it wrong. There is no modern military that claims you should bunch up your men.

they should be blindfiring around each corner and using way more nades, even if they can't do it for safety reasons at least have them do the motions and yell BANG (just give them blankfire adapters, have them use weapons already set up on the range to practice shooting at drones)

>>65216511
This. The amount of bindfire and nades used in pov videos of trench clearing is off the scale.

>>65216466
Except when you're stacking in urban cqc of course

>>65215585
It's good that they are practicing.
They should work up to the point that they can train against Ukie aggressor squads.

>and if any enemy drone operator position is suspected
Drone operators might not even be near the frontlines. Just some launch-stashes a dozen or more km away from the frontline, remote-operated from positions even further away.

>>65216701
artillery has 25km range, double with specialized ammo, friendly drones will provide targeting

>>65216694
Bad training. Even their own manuals should say something about spacing and watching your rear in CQC.
Also bunching up looks cool. It looks like they decided to take cues from Hollywood instead of their own manuals. Which is sad, if they want to shoot a PR movie they should just go watch some trench-fighting videos from Ukraine for extra verisimilitude.

>>65216694
>Why?

Low quality officer corps.

>>65215585
>Did drones really revolutionize tactics that much or just added another layer of fire support?
Yes and no. The extra fire support is not much for conventional forces. The extra scouting ability is what's revolutionary.

This is the yearly SDF firepower demonstration for the japanese public. It's not intended to be realistic.

>>65216863
That's what I said, it's PR but they took their cues from the wrong place. I don't know about you but I think looking competent, chucking lots of grenades and actually having the dudes cover approaches instead of imitating dogs boning each other looks much better for PR.

>>65216847
>>65216873
A fireteam of 4 soldiers moving close together is normal even in real combat footage, having the extra guns and grenade tossers close is necessary in this situation.

>>65216896
Yeah, if you're watching a third world video.

>>65216747
There's early Ukraine scope footage where a bunch of Russians line up like that before a corner in the weeds thinking they're safe, and a designated marksman with a semi-auto just gets the filthiest killfeed by whacking them - without even picking targets, just centering the crosshairs on the human mass and watching them fall over with each trigger pull.

>>65216873
>dog and pony show (West) :0
>dog and pony show (Japan) :/

Their navy and air force get practice but their ground forces are straitjacketed at the best of times. Scroll back and view prior years' displays to get the context of what this is. This is an increase in realism compared to the usual show which is more like a fireworks display at a static range. They started doing these "what combat works like" demos for the public 4-5 years ago, before that it was even worse.

Think reddit. Bang pow kaching faux cute type stuff.

>>65215585
Ukraine doesn't want you to know this, but the drones are free. I have 438 drones in my garage.

>>65216694
It's human nature. Under high stress situations, we naturally bunch up for mutual support and morale. We can see even real monkeys and chimps do this in their wars (google the recent chimp war). Drones are unnatural predators, completely alien to human nature. We must declare a Jihad against thinking machines.

>>65215633
Its training so maybe not trying to be realistic. There should be 1/4 the people to start with.
