Just the ladies' skirts, those inflated rubber flabby skirts at the bottom of the hovercraft are not bullet proof.Originally posted by foxtrout8:Is this something like the one u are toking abt?
The inflated rubber skirting traps the air that is generated at such a high volume, that it creates the air cushion supporting the entire structure and load of the hovercraft.
Puncture this rubber skirts, at any section, and that section will be flabby, allowing the generated air to escape.
Armor plating hanging over the side could be an idea, but where will the armor plating go when the rubber flubbers are deflated during parked or shut-down position ? -

I agree. Frankly, I dont think we are really into "forced-entry" operations. We just are not that well-equipped. We would need heavy ship-based gunfire suport, high tempo CAS, large heli numbers as well as a very robust C3 system to coordinate such a complicated maneuvre. At this moment, only US still prepares for "forced entries", developing the STOM (Ship To Objective Maneuvre) doctrine which requires the development of the AAAV, V-22 as well as the LPD-17 triad. Even then, they expect to sustain heavy losses from such a maneuvre. I think the max we can realistically do is storm a VERY lightly defended beach.Originally posted by foxtrout8:Sir , u dun have to picture it as Normandy. U wont have to land infront of masses of enemy if the strike aircrafts do a good job. Besides , CAS will be carry out at the same time when u land. It is alot abt coordination.... -

That's true. Even when the brits, with their huge fleet back then, had to retake the malvinasOriginally posted by YourFather:I agree.

, was forced to mobilize the entire fleet as well as a large number of merchant ships. If the argies had used air-to-air refueling to extend the range of their aircraft, the whole fleet would have been habis! 
Anyway, naval artillery nowzadaze ain't what it used to be. -
Also the Brits landed on a section of beach that was far away from their final objective (Port Stanley). This section of beach was lightly defended and after suppressing the defenders with naval gunfire, Sp Forces, the Landing craft landed.Originally posted by IAF:That's true.

Also with good recon assets in place, the Brits can be certain that the beaches are lightly/not defended.
From what I know there was minimal resistance during the landing phase.
I don't forsee the SAF doing a landing straight into a heavily defended beach. That would mean utilizing the entire RSN amphibous forces and lead to large losses in personnel and equipment.
Most probably will land on the "soft underbelly" of the enemy in a classic "coastal hook" operation. Special forces and other Recon assets can ascertain suitable beaches that are lightly defended. I don't think of any of our potential adversary can defend every inch of their coastlines.
The landing forces will probably be expected the travel a significant distance to their final objective which is why they will need armoured support, artillery and heli resupply.
After that, probably will linkup with main body advancing via land. -
Yea....it's betterOriginally posted by IAF:Anyway, naval artillery nowzadaze ain't what it used to be.

Here is a 'first-hand' account of the exercise
http://content.miw.com.sg/LifeStyle/MiwNews/ls_miwnews_ExVigilance.asp -
From the article: Witnessing the exercise was like watching a scene from the classic war movie - Apocalypse Now. Two commando platoons did a simulated beach insertion by rappelling from a RSAF UH-1H and Super Puma helicopters and, another platoon took on the beach front through amphibious landing on Zodiac amphibious crafts. They were equipped with P-90 silencers and SAR-21 assault rifles.
May I know what's this P-90 silencer? Issit a silencer for SAR21, FN P90, or a silenced pistol?
I never see silencer for SAR21 before leh ... -
