Woah, I've been gone since before m00t went to work for the Illuminati. Anyways, in honour of Rhodie camo fabric, Rhodie thread?
>>30216735
I cringe at your newness, summerfag.
>>30216671
If Rhodesians were so super awesome and had such super tactics, how come they lost to a bunch of dirt farmers
>>30216776
Jesus Christ you're mad.
>>30216786
Numbers beats tactics at a certain point.
>>30216671
Obligatory.

They were massively outnumbered, had obsolete equipment due to international sanctions, and were stuck with a pre WW2 mentality towards colonization.
They were a landlocked country, fighting alone against two different guerillars, supported by almost all of its neighbors, which in turn were supported by the Soviet Union, and China. In many instances, the guerrillas were better equipped than the regular armed forces of Rhodesia.
Considering how long they lasted with these limitations, they were probably one of the best and most innovative armed forces in modern history.

Fear and Loathing in Central Africa
>>30216786
UN arms embargoes and fighting a drawn out war against a far more numerous enemy under intense international pressure to give up will do that to you.
Looks like OP forgot something.

Question.
-What are the best ressources
(book, documentaries, etc.)
to learn about this relatively hidden part of history?
-Out of the ones who left for south afrika,
did some open security/training facilities on counter insurgency or /k/ related topics?
they seemed to have the expertise for sure^^
Is there an update on the project rhodesia camo?
Is this happening?
>>30219876
I say yea
>>30216697
>>30216770
This. This right here. A man, a horse and a rifle. And hordes of godless Commies to hunt. This is what I daydream about. Alas, it shall never be for me.
anyone lurking?
any good documentaries about the Bush War? Or books, it's hard to find good stuff about it.
>>30219974

Palladium made canvas boots for the military way back in the day. During the indochina war both french and viet minh wore them in the jungles

>Saying salty to represent angry
You're clearly a teenager that spends more time on reddit than in a community where salty refers to the level of grit in an enlisted man.
Go play video games or do your homework you smarmy little spitfuck.
>>30219970
>hordes of godless Commies to hunt
black people.

You can let it out here. I won't call you a faggot too much.

Seriously anon. Capitalism has to be defended against communist hordes. this is a fact of life.

>>30222195
People starving isn't funny. Even if they are generally worthless niggers. The average black is Zimbabwe is just as uneducated as the average black in the US. They can't help that their leaders constantly lie to them.

They were actually godless communists led by Black Hitler you fucking white male.

Summer, stupid, or troll?
Dumping a reading list I complied over the winter due to the amount of requests in thread for one. Hopefully this will help the troglodytes that have invaded. This is by no means a comprehensive guide, but it is a start.
I also have links and titles for South Africa if anybody wants it.

Cilliers, J.K. Counter-Insurgency in Rhodesia
This is an academic study written by a SADF officer studying the Rhodesian Bush War. Keep in mind the South Africans were very nervous about loosing their northern neighbor to communism. They assisted and closely studied the Rhodesians up to the end of the conflict in the 1980s. If you are looking for a brief overview of the conflict this is probably one of the better books out there. The best part is that Cilliers efficiently breaks down the structure of the Rhodesian army and is not a afraid to critique and praise it as he sees fit.
Daly, Ronald Reid. Selous Scouts: Top Secret War
The man, the myth, the legend, Daly. He formed the unit as an experimental force to fight ZANU insurgents in Mozambique. The book is his unit history for the fabled Selous Scouts, which is arguably one of the most misunderstood units of the war. The book covers everything from the formation of the scouts to it’s disbandment in 1979. Its full of colorful pictures, and sheds an interesting light on integrated units fighting in the war. The Selous Scouts also serve as a great case study of how effective intelligence can make or break an operation.
Wood, J. R. T. Counter Strike from the sky; The Rhodesian all-arms fireforce in the war in the bush, 1974-1980.
Wood does an excellent job of condensing the history and evolution of fire force operations while keeping the book readable. First hand accounts are woven into many of the chapters, giving a better sense of how a fireforce operation worked. One of the mainstays of the book is Chapter 15 which outlines Operation Dingo. Operation Dingo brought Fireforce to an operational level, and may have inspired the South African assault on Cassinga during Operation Reindeer. There are many books that focus solely on first hand accounts that you can find on Amazon.
Stapleton, Timothy J. Warfare and Tracking in Africa, 1952-1990. (no. 11).
Stapleton covers most bush conflicts in most of Sub Saharan Africa in the latter half of the 20th century. The chapters are divided up by country, covering a large variety of how tracking was utilized during the conflicts. Much of the tracking schools used by the Rhodesians and South Africans evolved from guides and game wardens. Both militaries also relied heavily on indigenous trackers to find insurgents and build rapport with villages.
Enjoy!

I don't think that people find the concept of Zimbabweans starving funny, people find Mugabe crying for help from the very people he expelled from his country funny. It is satisfying to watch a stupid person dedicate themselves to a decision only to immediately regret that decision.

Don't forget that Zimbabwe made their own copy of Rhodesian Brushstroke and called Zimbabwe Brushstroke. Same thing but darker
>>30225184
Did not know that. Rad.
>>30219876
specs?, blueprints?
I came here to discuss and learn about Rhodesian military tactics and COIN, not watch someone shit all over the thread because OP posted his trigger words which happen to be any variation of "Rhodie camo"
webm related because it's an african conflict.

>How does that, in any way, serve as advertising for a scam that has been known about for months?
The point was to get people to ask "where", then "innocently" drop the link. Classic conman tactics.
But wait, if it's a "scam", why are you defending them? Something's fucky.
>OP wanted it there, so it is there
No, Ivan wanted it there so he paid OP.

Oh wait, I forgot: according to shills, threads with unaltered dates and post numbers don't count if they don't fit the narrative and promises and conjectures made in the thread by the shilling parties are.
