Competent militaries train to operate under EMCON conditions, in complete radio silence if they have to. I'm sorry you had to learn it this way.

>>63978323 (OP)
You'd think American would have come up with something that doesn't involve sticking a vehicle commander's neck out for visual sign language by now.

Today I learned third worlders don't do air defence warnings.

all three threads currently up on this topic have been rather illuminating on how turdies think and why their militaries are a joke, really. some are even having trouble grasping canister shot.

What the fuck does that even mean, fucking retard?
There is like a 5-second window between you spotting an FPV drone and it exploding in your face.
There won't be any time to send indian smoke signals.

Maybe for your brown thirdie military, lmao. Even ukies and puccians have electronic detection methods for drones, what the fuck do you think the burgers would have?

>>63978746
Can a FPV drone carry enough ordnance to do anything other than track an Abrams? I would be far more concerned about quadcopters spotting for indirect fires.

>>63978764
That because ref00rmers and other assorted boomers don't want to install 360-degree camera systems on tanks, because "it would make the crews excessively cautious".

>>63978768
> what the fuck do you think the burgers would have?
Pickles, mayonnaise, maybe a little bacon if I’m feeling froggy.

Ooh, chili is good on a burger too.

Who creates and signs off on these manuals? What ranks are assigned that task?

not every drone is an FPV quadcopter that you see 3 seconds before it hits you

>Another Twitter spam thread
We've got alot of spam going up at the moment.

>>63978979
A large fixed wing diving down would be much faster.
>>63978773
They already do. But using indirect fire reveal your battery to radar so some reservation are needed.

>>63979035
oh no he is grasping to not be wrong

>>63978773
Obviously they do. The top armor is very thin, like as if you didn't know that already.

ELINT and microwave Radar. ELINT picks up the radio control signals and Radar picks up the fast moving propellers. With man portable radars being a thing I suspect it's only a matter of time before tanks mount them both for ARAD and drone detection.

I see this as being something like the "Duck and cover" nuclear drills. It's good advice, but If there's nukes going off, everything is fucked, so it gets made fun of.

If you are an American tank column being attacked by FPV drones: Your air cover is fucked. Your organic AD is fucked. Your EW is fucked. Your screening troops are fucked. This is "Here's what you do to decrease the odds of being added to the fuck-pile".

Hand signs are incase someone has a busted radio. Happens some time. Having the lead tank do hand signs in addition to radio orders adds redundancy.

Commander cupolas have 360 periscopes.

>>63978713
Why do thirdies need to get so absurd with their fantasies? Like this post could have just said "FPV drone flies straight into the hand signal" or something, but instead he's rambling about how this is chinas new wunderwaffen to destroy an entire tank company ezpz

You are not ambitious enough, I hope for at least a couple million dead ziggers.

then what tf was even the point of commander cupolas if in the year 2k25 a commander is still forced to stick his head out, even while under drone attack, because

competent militaries apparently do not have acess to flares either?

>>63978768
> Even ukies and puccians have electronic detection methods for drones, what the fuck do you think the burgers would have?
then why do you have to rely on gay hand signals?
why not automatically send a flare signal once a drone is detected
inb4
> well a flare gives away your poisiton or whatever
there are way around this
you can send light signals or maybe even attach some small gay flag to the back of your turret
anything but having your commander wiggle around with his hands while under attack

>>63980359
> Having the lead tank do hand signs in addition to radio orders adds redundancy.
that actually makes sense
only fair point in the thread (besides the one with radio silence)

>>63982877
To be fair, they'll probably skip the hand signs if the radios are good.

>>63982868
>you can send light signals or maybe even attach some small gay flag to the back of your turret
Are you trying to act like a retard or are you actually one?

>>63982868
>competent militaries apparently do not have acess to flares either?
You are seriously suggesting for units under air attack to mark their own locations for the enemy aircraft by using flares?

>>63982868
You don't rely on hand signals. They're the backup to the backup to the backup to the backup. That's how normal western armies work.

>>63978323 (OP)
Hand signals like NVA bugle calls do not emit RF.
