That excercise reminds me of the wargames conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy before embarking on the Battle of Midway. The first game concluded that the Japanese would lose at least two, probably three carriers. Of course, the Japanese admirality was not too pleased so they did the wargame again, and again, and again. Untill they were satisfied that the three American carriers would be wiped out, Midway would be taken and no Japanese carriers would be lost.

[@nbewarwe]

I believe that the loss of the carriers was due to the American player expecting the attack and moving their carriers down south to respond and defend the island. The admirals disregarded this result since this was a surprise attack and the Americans wouldn't know it was coming. So they took away the American's intel advantage and moved out their carriers, and then the Japanese won. Come the Battle of Midway, the Americans intercepted Japanese messages beforehand, so they expected the attack and moved their carriers down south to respond and defend the island.

[@buddermonger2000]

​@@nbewarweHey can you go over the Barbarossa one then?

[@dfmrcv862]

Ehhhhh... no. These exercises had quite a few glitches going in favor of the red team as opposed to the IJN ignoring a possible response by the US. For example, Ripper had to contend with US jamming his radio communications and does what the video says he did, use motorcycles and light signals. But in the simulation, these communications were treated JUST AS EFFECTIVE as radio! So, you have your speedboats armed with ASMs (which is another glitch as those speedboats are too small to handle anti-ship missiles by the way), spot the US fleet and light signal to motorcyclists on shore who instantly see the light signal, instantly deliver the message to missile batteries miles away and said batteries fire the missiles at the US fleet in at the same time the speedboats that can't carry missiles IRL shoot at the US fleet from point blank range because of one final glitch... The simulation *spawned the US fleet with the inability to fire any defenses!* Ripper knew of the glitches and took advantage of them. He didn't "out-perform" the US Navy at all. Just the then-new AI.

@@Jumpman6352 Okay let's get an understanding of what is actually going on. Iran does not have an ICBM missile system that can carry out a "nuking" of the US. The best way for them to carry out a nuclear attack o the US is to use a dirty bomb. All of which is traceable. So they aren't going to carry out a full scale nuclear attack on US soil. If you think they will, you're simply a moron. The best way they could use their nuclear capabilities is to use it in a defensive matter if the US were to invade their homeland. Or if they use one in the surrounding countries around Iran with active US military bases. That then would be an offensive matter. But that is the stupidest thing they could ever do. Don't underestimate the Iranians and their ability to hold off an American invasion. Iran can, and will be WORSE than Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan all combined if the US decides to do more regime change to Iran.

Iran will absolutely be as successful as van Riper in the Strait. This is not a matter of technology and firepower, which they could never match, and they know that, so they have built their navy SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS SITUATION. And of course, thousands of Iranians would die. That's the whole point. It is a matter of numbers of small craft and missiles, and it is a matter of the relative maneuverability of big clunky oil tankers and warships against assymetric swarm tactics in the strait, and they win. Round over, see you on land

[@Attaxalotl]

There's a whole lot of shenanigans going on with Millennium Challenge 2002, like the Red side having lightspeed motorcycle messengers (so their communications couldn't be intercepted), launching Exocet missiles from boats smaller than the missiles themselves, and the Blue side not being allowed to shoot Red's troop transports despite very much being able to, and Van Riper otherwise gaming the system to the extent they didn't really learn much except: A. The software they used to simulate the missiles and suicide boats had a couple of issues, and B. to not put Van Riper in charge of red team anymore.

[@MrJimheeren]

You’ve got that the other way around. Ripper wasn’t allowed to shoot down all those brand new V22 Osprey’s the navy was showing off. And I’ve never read anything about lighting fast motor cycles. The army uses quite advanced simulations when playing these war games. Plus after the first round when the red team sank all those ships the marines just put a couple of LAV53 fighting vehicles in the decks of the aircraft carrier to shoot at all those small boats

[@Attaxalotl]

@@MrJimheeren Yeah, it was a bit of a shitshow. I don't really know of anyone who takes it all that seriously.

[@MADNIKstudios]

@@MrJimheeren The sim did not have models for motorcycle messengers, Riper just said his radio communications were done by motorcycles and flares so they "couldn't be intercepted or jammed". His suicide speed boats did so much damage because they were modeled to be carrying more explosives than boats that small could hold without sinking or at best foundering in anything but a calm sea.

[@Wraithfighter]

Also, running the scenario again with “okay, this really great strategy you ambushed us with is now off the table” is a valid decision. Coming up with countermeasures and strategies to combat it would take time, especially since a lot of those strategies might need to be built out, but you also want to find any other problems that might be there too. The outcome isn’t “we only won the scenario because we cheated”, it’s “if we can iron out these weaknesses that we’ve discovered, we can win with ease. Now, lets go work on that part, preferably behind the nice veil of secrecy so Iran doesn’t figure out our new plans”.

I got so frustrated when you described the American military's response to the exercise going off script. That is exactly what they do. I'm speaking from the perspective of a former Canadian soldier who worked as op for for Americans at times. If blue for looses then they take something away from red for and run the exercise again. They do that as many times as it takes to make blue for win and then pat thems on the back for a job well done. Then they're absolutely stunned when real war does not work like that.
