OK ... it is clear by now that you are not a professional. and that is why you are asking questions worst than a small boy.
Clearly you are handicapped in deciphering nuanced language or understanding the concept of rhetorical questions.
I do not need a certification from anyone. All are well aware of what my background is, including the other side. Thank you very much.
Generally the weapons you mentioned are not meant for ground firing roles or employment.
You are retired. Quite apparent. Suggest first read up, before making that kind of silly statement which shows your lack of awareness of the weapons issued in sector stores along LC for Direct Fire roles.
And do include the standard of Concrete Pill Box and protection.
They have a very high rate of fire and can not fire for hours and hours to break an attack even if you have ten bunkers full of their ammunition. But I give you all. However, those can not be employed in large numbers.
So how many boats are coming on Pangong Tso that they need to fire for hours and hours? Oh my, you do have a flight of fantasy ... right? Thousands of boats coming up and just two guns. No troops, just two men crews manning two guns.
Neutralise does not mean destruction only. Neutralize means making enemy incapable of performing his tasks perfectly. If 152mm shells are bursting all around a bunker. the gunner is not able to utilize his weapon properly.
Here you go, military definitions:
Neutralize - Put out of action for a short time (temporarily).
Destroy - Put out of action for a long time (or permanently).
What is the end result? (No, am not asking a question. It's RHETORICAL)
I thought destruction shall also render the enemy incapable of performing tasks. Interesting theories you have.
There would also be smoke all around, blast splinters, cries, destructions - all reduce the effectiveness of weapons
Fire Controller has no idea of how to circumvent that, what a dumb soldier! Siting of the weapon will never involve ranging and marking the arcs of fire ............. hmmmmm.
Blast Splinters will open the firing slats and the door of the concrete pill box to degrade the firers ability to effectively engage the target.
Cries .. the bleeding hearts ... damn them.
Destruction - wars have them usually, no?
If the lake is 100 km long on enemy side, he has a choice of building his forces on a given bank two or three km away unopposed in his own area. From there he can launch an attack.
So now it is land attack ...
what?
Wait. Why? I thought you were launching an amphibious attack!!!! If you launch the land attack .... my contention of capability to hold ground comes to fore ..... this can't be it ......
Or he can launch an attack on the shore held by the defender from Lake itself. fight through and break out.
Yeah. As if the defender wont have weapons to destroy the boats. Heck .... PLAN is getting Type 055s? Interesting
No amount of weapons can prevent an attacker if he is determined. He is also using his Zu-23, L-70 . MMG, HMG, Missiles, artillery and whatever you. You can not say you are immune to enemy fire.
Yeah, he will drag his Zu23 on a boat and engage it faster mobile over water than a static Zu-23.... cool/ If you say so.
Why not throw in a nuke at it? A 0.2 Kt at 50 meters AGL will just be perfect.
That much is good enough for you.
Keep reading and learning.
Yeah. No wonder Armed Forces have a struggle .....
Cheers
