What is the story of the roaring NATO soldiers against the backdrop of the Iranian strike

16

What is the most important thing in a war? Modern weapons? Quality timely supply? Skillful command? Everything is so, but perhaps even more important is the personal preparation and moral and psychological qualities of each soldier, without which the effectiveness of all these "shooting pieces of iron" and the military operations carried out with their help decreases sharply.

The recent exchange of missile attacks between the United States and Iran has revealed two very important factors.



At firstTehran has demonstrated its willingness to respond by force even to the "hegemon."

Secondly, it turned out that not all NATO troops are morally prepared to be hit "in an adult way" with rockets. In order not to be unfounded, we give a fragment of an interview with a Danish sergeant named Yon, given to TV2 after being evacuated to Kuwait, which was in a bunker during an Iranian missile attack along with its soldiers:

The worst thing was the ignorance and powerlessness of the soldiers in the face of the expectation of new strikes. We did not know where and when the next rocket would fall. The soldiers reacted differently. Some sat and told jokes to protect themselves, some went inside, and some cried.


According to him, it was "indescribable." The negative impression was added that after the shelling, NATO soldiers had to walk around the territory of the base between helicopters torn in half. According to the sergeant, psychologists are already flying to Kuwait to assist the soldiers, which they simply need.

What I would like to say about this. They say that there are no atheists under fire, everyone is praying, even atheists, secretly. Therefore, we’ll not gloat over the “crying” NATO members directly. Another issue is that they came under fire from Iran under completely greenhouse conditions.

Apparently, Tehran deliberately leaked information about the planned attack in Iraq and Qatar, from where it immediately arrived at the Pentagon. NATO troops met rockets in a bunker from the time of Saddam Hussein, where they were not in danger. However, the demoralizing effect is obvious. One can imagine what would happen to the Western soldiers if they were under a full-fledged missile strike in an open field, without give-ups.

Yes, it’s not to play computer “shooters” and not “Papuans” to bomb from an unattainable height. Still, a collision with a strong systemic adversary, having a serious army and modern weapons, is a serious test even for NATO.

You can recall how in 2014, the domestic "drying" 12 times "flew" to the destroyer of the US Navy "Donald Cook". Being unarmed, the Russian aircraft had on board only the Khibiny electronic warfare complex, which made the warship helpless for the time being. As reported, after such a difficult moral test, several dozen American sailors filed a report on dismissal.

      But this is definitely not about those 16 fighters of the Russian Federation, which reflected more than 2 hours of the attack of 200 terrorists and won the battle. And certainly not about those pilots who blew themselves up with the last grenade and a bunch of attacking bandits.

      No, this is so far about several Iranian missiles, developed 30 years ago. When it comes to Putin's "cartoons", not just a few will cry, and not only cry ...

      As for the "Russian planes in Syria", then only the ardent "Americanolysis" do not agree that it was Russian planes that returned statehood to Syria and dispersed the gangs created with the money of the "enlightened" West.

    And then they found an aunt that invented it all ...
    So it is here. 21st century, someone said something - no photo, no confirmation, and immediately an analogue of "peremogi" over NATO ...

    And how many evil NATO members died there, from 2 of these Iranian strikes ??? None say ???
    And the Iranians? + foreigners?
    Somehow, a dozen specially uncleaned helicopters from the field are still ambiguous for the dead people from the Boeing ... IMHO.

        I can not.
        I'm not fond of trolls. I don’t put them in my daddy.

        But when it was popular, they found, from memory I say, the source of these crowds writing tearful letters and Yusovites leaving the Navy.
        By the way, there were several analyzes of this case at VO, directly from TX equipment, flight, etc.

    Firstly, where is this aunt and why are you so sure that she invented everything?
    Secondly, no one died from the blow precisely because Iran had leaked information in advance. Or are you reading through a line?

      1) cm above.
      2) for the dead - a few missed - then 80 people, then not a single one. Therefore, in question I wrote.
      Merged - so merged. Politics. If he had not yet cocked his citizens, it would have been wonderful in general.

      But while it happened, what happened.
      Boeing eclipsed a dozen helicopters, IMHO.
      By the way, everywhere is given without translation and subtitles ... and:

      ... I understand Danish a little. He said that for the first time he came under such heavy fire .... but he did not say that someone was crying or panicking! He said that we did not have the opportunity to act, as we were taught, but simply sat in the bunker by order ....

      It will be necessary to search more precisely, suddenly the newsmen are right ..... græde - cry in Danish, looking for ...

      Does anyone know Danish?

    What are atheists believers?
    In an extreme situation, I personally begin to care completely, and I think about prayers in the very last resort.

    Don't underestimate a potential adversary. The function of "throwing hats" took place in 1939-40.
