Honestly a very sad development because those soldiers don’t have a say in it, it’s identical to your country enlisting you in a PMC.

there is a documentary about sierra leone child soldiers hired by private military companies during the iraq occupation as guards,smart soldiers will know which conflicts to avoid and when to get out.but this mostly uneducated former soldiers who only know how to hold a gun,will go anywhere they are told

What is this new trend of nationalized guns for hire, they give you dollars and you send your men to go and die thousand of miles away in a conflict that doesn’t directly impact your country.

thats the 21 century slavery future of unemployed youths in this continent

Iraq air force carry out strikes against ISIS in Syria
Military says F16s deployed in co-ordination with the Syrian government

The Iraqi air force carried out strikes on ISIS inside Syria on Thursday as the defeated extremist group becomes increasingly active in both countries.

The air strikes were carried out in co-ordination with the Syrian government and were launched from inside Iraq's borders, a military spokesman said.

Brigadier General Yahya Rasool said the strikes were carried out with F16 jets, while the prime minister's office said the targets were near the border.Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi declared victory over ISIS in December after security forces seized the last pockets of Iraqi territory held by the militants. But recent months have seen ISIS carry out attacks in the north, killing dozens of civilians in an offensive that could disrupt elections in May.

The prime minister is seeking another term after taking office in September 2014, nearly four months after the Iraqi army collapsed in the face of an ISIS assault, leaving the extremist group in control of nearly a third of Iraq https://www.thenational.ae/world/mena/iraq-air-force-carry-out-strikes-against-isis-in-syria-1.723054

trump administration want to add another 80,000 personnel to the US military,but recruiters are finding it hard to find recruits.especially after the recent robust US economy and war wary Americans, after more than a decade of numerous conflicts.which are still ongoing.forcing US military to allowing more waivers e.g for people who have used marijuana and helping those are obese to loose weight

Sir HGVs usually don't have Propulsion they use boost glide trajectory, but u can use Propulsion if needed (theoretically ).

Hyper Sonic Cruise missiles uses Scramjet plus solid rocket booster , other technologies are not matured yet . Materials are almost similar in Ballistic warhead and HGMs to withstand high temp of atmospheric re entry . HGMs has special design to produce lift after reentry , then it glides through air at Hypersonic speeds , it's difficult shoot down HGMs because their trajectory is unpredictable normal warheads travels in a Ballistic trajectory it's predictable so does easy to shoot down , we can intercept HGMs using CIWS , short and quick reaction SAMs .

won't a HGV need propulsion during its complex maneuvering trajectory as it tries to evade ABM,skimming few feet above ground and at terminal phase ascending again,while still sustaining an above Mach 5 speed and while extending its range !?in between its descent,low flight and ascend during it terminal phase the HGV,will definitely lose speed and still need to regain that speed so that it does lose its kinetic energy

Sir this is HGVs , not Hypersonic cruise missiles ,both are different . ICBM warheads have a speed of more than 20 machs . HGVs are kind of Maneuvering warheads .

don't both this hypersonic technology face the same hurdles of materials that will have to endure extreme temperatures and propulsion system that has to have the ability to sustain combustion at hypersonic speeds !?in your own understanding what are the principal parameters of hypersonic technology

karthi90:


Sir this is just a wind tunnel model it take atleast 15 to 20 years to develop . This news looks like a propoganda .

so we should believe you ,not the us pentagon who have detected china conducting several test on HGV!?
