VBS3 is an actual training program used by the Australian military. I used it on a training exercise on a pacific island where we were meant to basically shadow a police patrol for a non warlike operations. we were not meant to meet anyone hostile and may have to basically support police operations ie public disturbances like rock throwing or riots. We literally had every soldier simulated ie sitting in a passenger position on a truck. This went for 3 hours with nothing to do. Lets just say the diggers got restless and whenever we dismounted we got up to shinanigans. At the end of the patrol we expended all non lethal ammunition, 20% of lethal ammunition, 1 KIA and 3 wounded plus a random red tractor was acquisitioned from the populous. Our training staff was not happy with out lack of focus on the task. VBS 3 would be more useful for warlike training it felt like a waste of time. It was a good laugh though.

Great video! It does beg the question... why didn’t the opfor just use the UAVs to attack the fuel trucks in the first place? Seems

While I do understand the training aspect and desired message behind the structure of this demonstration i would like to add that the correct course of action would have been to destroy the tankers via UAV to begin with and eliminate the enemy units as they were relocated/during travel because attacking a defending position is also allowing for the enemy to choose the battlefield where as an attack during transit also carries the possibility that the enemy troops will have split their units up and left some behind to protect the area. Which would allow for an easier win anyway. Along with the tankers I would have also cut off communication if possible

Thanks for posting! This is great.

I love these videos, OEC G&V please make more! i tried finding the page on facebook (used link on the channel page) but the facebook page gave an error saying the page does not exist anymore as I read the comments I've seen how much these videos help current members of the military and ones panning on joining (like me) and would just like to say thank you for creating the videos they're informative and instructive to anyone even those without any military knowledge just like for you guys to know you're work is incredibly appreciated and to please make more! Videos like this in an age of technology where anyone can access them, videos like this are extremely helpful and important for the public and a great refresher for any in service member! (sorry for spamming this on all your videos just want to make sure you guys know you're doing an incredibly important public service! and that its appreciated)

Excelent video. Great quality content as usual.

Those UAVs are rather concerning... Basically tactical cruise missiles.

Thanks

I was curious about the armed UAVs. Looks like something similar does exist: AeroVironment Switchblade. In use by the army and marines. However, that only carries the firepower of a 40mm grenade, so it wouldn't be much use against M1s IRL.

Please make a woodland/jungle combat scenario as I described in your last video... how the policing up of camouflage works, how to spread out in sight of each other etc.

I don’t think the HEAT warheads on those (very) small UAVs could take out an M1 as easily as is being depicted here. Especially as they don’t appear to be operating in a top-attack mode.

Why they just use the drones in the tank fuels directly ? Apparently they have no air defense

Take out the POL site with mortars, then attack the retreating/moving bluefor with drones and slow them down, and then just finnish them of from coy ABF PSN on the hills. Gotta keep it simple, this scenario is complicated AF! for OPFOR commander.

ah, good old sahrani

Are these tactics always the same?

US Army without artillery or aviation support? Bradly and abrams didnt move. Dominant heights are not controlled.

Why not just use the armed drones and mortars to take out the fuel point using the UAV as a spotter?

So a small switchblade drone is enough to destroy a main battle tank?

Why didn't you just use UAVs on their trucks?!

So basicly arma 3 milsim

What PC game is this from or is this a simulation only !?

Why not just mortar/drone strike the fuel trucks?

cool video but i doubt switchblades would kill m1 tanks, also couldve used them on the fuel trucks, why didnt blufor have drones loitering around their position?

Arma 2?

no way in hell I'm letting them take out that /pol/ site, who's with me boys, we gotta defend the chans

Why are we training against the coalition forces in these videos?

Im sorry, but you just made the BluFor look dumb here... Like did they all really need to get wiped out without suppressing enemy? Contact plan based on the positioning of assets, preferably in sight of each others positions should consist of going from recon/staging operation to suppression. Roll in some acoustic ranging devices like what the CRAM uses, immediate counter mortar. Where is the BluFor UAS assets? I demand a counter to this OPFOR steam rolling scenario.

this tactics have a problem
