The poster even says they look slightly dubious. Its possible then, that maybe thiese videos could have been altered with AI to look like a close call. The headline above sounds almost exactly like vidsrel. Occam's Razor of course being that they didn't learn shit from said near miss and it cost them dearly.

Oh, that's not DKK, that's Armageddon Steel Legion (aka Spanish Foreign Legion/SS 250th Volunteer Division). Picrel is DKK.
>action plan to actually get an army to Iran to start a ground war...
I looked over my other posts and I guess I left a vital detail out derp: foraging. To many NATO forvces, would sound almost like trying to strangle yourself to death, but in a Win At All Costs scenario its an entirely valid means of strategic supply. Loot every house, dress down every fallen combatant (yours or theirs), maybe send them in with offline Goygle Translate for Farsi (*coughandchinesecough*) on their phones so they can utilize enemy armor and arty. Loot, steal, salvage, rape, burn, pillage, all of it. I have a feeling DIE conscripts would be more talented than most in thi regard. and quite frankly, if this last decade on the internet has taught us anything, it's that the United Syates is literally run by a cabal of fucking Bond villains.
>air defense systems
yes, and theyre the second biggest baffle to the overall plan just behind drone meta. I recognize thet you see the importance of seizing portsbut I disagree that such should be done BY SEA. the play here may just be to reverse our typical doctrine of
<"Marines secure the beach, Army pushes inland, everyone else consolidates wherever is secured, in that order, with zero change or variation"
If the Iranians KNOW that, because its the SAME SHIT damn near every invasion we ever stage, why not change it up? By dropping tons of men from overhead (HOPEfully with some concealment) and securing/destroyign AA sites you play to two of the US's consistent strengths: Brute Force and Air Superiority. If you supplement that with the above foraging, you unlock one of our oldest strengths: Skullduggery. YO HO! Will it be safe as Iraq or Afghanistan? No, but even eroding the quilt to a patchwork make sa huge difference.
>Literally nothing but paratroopers?
See Above. FIRST overwhelming Paras, THEN secure the weakened beaches with USMC expys and (carefully) positioned Naval assets.
>unless you have a bunch of giant fighting robots to go with it
Okay, well we have to stop by Japan for just a tick and grab a 6pack of Gundams. No biggy. ;P
>sending in the marines would have been a bigger fucku
No, I get that. And as another Strelok said upthreaf "all it did was kill all the Christians in Iran ". What I mean is (provided this war is germaine in its prosecution) they not only wasted thousands of lives, but what initiative could have been had from the CIA's "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism" style insurgency. If there was a time and place to kick off conventionally, that was it. Thousands fighting in the streets and the marines show up to support/lead them to securing the foothold provence OUTSIDE the natural choke point. But now heer we are, theorycrafting with 40k memes after Lord knows how many dead servicemen were sent in halfhaertedly by some golf loving corpo stooges.
