Unmanned systems take center stage at Turkish Ateş Serbest military demonstration

ANKARA — Turkish F-16 fighter jets flew overhead, dropping bombs perfectly aimed at targets below, the ground shaking as journalists and visitors alike watched on from a distance.

Drones buzzed around conducting missions while smoke plumes erupted from every direction as targets were hit. If it weren’t for the civilians walking around taking notes the scene could easily be mistaken for a battlefiel

Quotes by Douglas A. Macgregor (?)

“Only war reaffirms the enduring truth that to be effective in battle, armed forces must be cohesive, inspired, undemocratic, and coercive in character; that Western armed forces in particular must be separate and distinct from the individualistic, ultra-democratic, and materialistic societies they defend.”
― Douglas A. Macgregor, Margin of Victory: Five Battles That Changed the Face of Modern War

“Charlie Kirk was not killed for what he said, he was k*lled because people all over the world were listening to him. Somebody decided Charlie was a danger to the status quo.”

“There is no victory without sacrifice. And we are convincing large numbers of people that with these technologies, these unique capabilities that reside in these boutique forces that we can get away with murder literally and no one will be hurt. That's dangerous. That's wrong. It's misleading.

But all of these all — uh, what's the right word? Delusions, are self- sustaining and inextricably intertwined and they're very difficult to defeat. People latch on to these beliefs and they just can't give them up.

(Excerpt from interview "Col Douglas Macgregor: This Time We're in A LOT of TROUBLE")”
