Won't happen anytime soon, if ever. They are still trying to transition most of the Army to M4A1s, which started in 2014 and isn't expected to be finished until 2019. My unit just got them about 3 months ago.

It'll be even longer before they not only finish this project, but then also cost it out to manufacturers, approve it, let it get into a test units hands, find out that it doesn't fucking work as intended because they went with the lowest cost solution, and send it back to the drawing board for another 5 years then try again.

Military acquisitions is fucking retarded.

4-9INF used Land Warrior in Iraq and it was proven to be fairly successful. They opted to continue funding the program in 2011. It's just a small part of the long term modernization project the Army is slowly pushing, long term being the 2030s they expect this stuff to be rolled out.

Autonomous as in it drives itself and makes its own decisions? If so, because that kind of AI doesn't really exist yet in a practical form. Also a robit that can think on its feet is going to have some pretty complex and delicate computers and gyroscopes that will require constant maintenance in harsh environments. I can only imagine the kind of hell that desert environments would play with cooling fans and temperature management for example, humans cope better with temperature extremes than delicate computers and when they get overheated they just need some water and rest, they don't catch on fire.

We can already win against farmers with outdated weapons and sand people you stupid cuck, the problem is doing it without pussy democrats and liberals trying to pull military funding for "humanitarian" reasons.

The ONLY reason the US didn't win Vietnam was because the democrats cut support to the South Vietnamese, the mass bombings of the first portion of the war worked incredibly well and scared the shit out of NV and the VC.

Literally all you have to do is indiscriminately bomb population centres, that is it, it's even easier in a desert. This "precision warfare" shit only exists because liberals are too fucking scared to do what has to be done to actually win a war, the USA could win any war on the face of the Earth, they are literally the undisputed masters of the entire globe right now.

So you're defending your stupidity by calling me a "Pleb"?

I played fallout while you were still shitting in your diapers. Power armor is reserved strictly for end game, but they decided to give it to you in the first major quest. It's their idea of game design, doesn't mean I will turn it down, but once you find the best suit of armor in the game there is literally no reason to wear anything else

Like I said, you both failed the retard test. Neither of those are arguments, enjoy being failures at life when IRL decisions come about

Both get obliterated by Helicopters, anon. Stop watching gundam and have some sense. Mecha only have utility as load lighteners with no actual weaponry of their own. Essentially a table that walks. And even that is proving to be dubious/redundant at best.

Wheels versus legs, wheels outright conserve more energy and are easier to maintain/repair than multiple jointed legs and everything they also require to repair and maintain.

I'm not going to continue this conversation any further. It's been had ten million times already and mecha not only don't fill the same role as a tank, they'd still get destroyed by helicopters and we already have tanks and helicopters so there's no niche they fill effectively.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, rebel scum? I'll have you know I was the last Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, and I started the Clone Wars, and I have over 300 controlled solar sectors. I am trained in the Dark Side of the Force and I'm the top Sith in the entire Galactic Empire. Your planet is nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe it the fuck out with power the likes of which has never been seen before in this galaxy, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the holonet? Think again, Jedi. As we speak I am contacting my apprentice from across the galaxy and your rebel base is being traced right now so you better prepare for the 501st, Jedi scum. The 501st that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your rebel base. You're fucking dead, Jedi. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just without my lightsaber. Not only am I extensively trained in Dark Side combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the galactic Imperial stormtroopers and I will use them to their full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the galaxy, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" destruction of my Death Star was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have retreated your fucking X wing. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn rebel. I will shoot lightning all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, Jedi.

One of the main reasons drones are used in the US, Russian and Chinese military is that they can be launched by a platoon or smaller, are organic and have loiter times of 12-24 hours. That platoon will carry multiple drone spares.

Helicopters require FARPs with lots of fuel and a much larger support structure. In addition they're extremely vulnerable to actual air threats.

The Russians use drones extensively for artillery spotting.

Helicopters have very real limitations that you can't just handwave away by saying you have a FARP and countermeasures. Airmobile infantry often use ATVs instead of a Humvee/Jeep equivalent. There is a specialization of equipment and vehicles to trade off one limitation for another.

Heavy rods are heavy. Heavy things are expensive to get into space. Nukes are inexpensive(relatively). Nukes do the same thing. It's not hard to figure out. If you think the advantage of no fallout makes them more attractive, then you misunderstand their purpose as pseudo-nukes, designed only to be used last-ditch when they no longer care about fallout after.
