"Confused"...common. .that's a big word for a mild annoyance at best.

It's not like those strike groups suddenly show up somewhere and remove a cloak technology or something. All it means is they are less like a scheduled train arriving at a certain destination. That is the absolute minimum in obfuscation I would demand from the getgo.. ie that's the operational base we should expect. My question is:why in a quasi cold war era haven't we done this earlier grrr
And where are the lasers,electromagnetic guns and hypersonic weapons? It's almost 2019 ffs.. work faster over there :)

I've seen more North Korean ships male a port of call than Russian or Soviet ones FFS.

I mean really how often do the Russians leave that pond north of Istanbul? Not very often. I am beginning to think they cannot safely sail in high sea states.

The VietCong did were virtually wiped out after Tet.

There were a lot of North Vietnamese regulars in South Vietnam.

It's the guys in the black pyjamas who taught the world a lesson in guerilla warfare that 3rd world rag rag groups still emulate with great success today.
