I didn’t mean to insult you or my NATO colleagues. I think we may have to agree to disagree.
The US has the right kit in the right numbers to pull this off. With appropriately trained operators (aircrew or otherwise).
Something smaller scale-yeah i’d agree. But something of this scale, in my opinion would need multiple NATO partners to achieve.
How many C130’s can the RAF afford to lose in just one CSAR Op? Slightly tongue in cheek but i hope you see what i mean?
