Abrams Tank Targets Quadcopters

New U.S. Army tank platoon doctrine is out. Includes instructions for targeting quadcopters with the main gun of an M1A2 Abrams MBT. RULES FOR SELECTING THE AIM POINT ONE-HALF FOOTBALL FIELD IN FRONT OF NOSE AIM NOSE TYPES OF AERIAL PLATFORMS COURSE AIM POINT FIXED WING CROSSING ONE-HALF FOOTBALL FIELD IN FRONT OF NOSE BALLOON HOVERING SLIGHTLY ABOVE BALLOON BODY QUAD DIRECTLY AT YOU SLIGHTLY ABOVE HELICOPTER BODY Figure F-8. Point of aim Direct vehicles to aim based on type and course of UAS. Direct vehicles to engage with all machine guns or 120-mm canister rounds.

Platoon leader/sergeant transmits SPOTREP to higher HQ. The platoon leader reports the platoon's status, then continues operations according to the order and the commander's guidance.

Пост якобы показывает новую доктрину танкового взвода армии США: экипажам M1A2 Abrams дают инструкции, куда целиться при поражении квадрокоптеров, воздушных шаров и самолётов. Шутка строится на абсурдном столкновении тяжёлого современного танка и дешёвых малых дронов, а также на серьёзном стиле военного руководства для очевидно необычной задачи. Такой мем используют как саркастическую реакцию на уязвимость традиционной военной техники перед беспилотниками. EN: The post supposedly shows new U.S. Army tank platoon doctrine: M1A2 Abrams crews receive instructions on where to aim when engaging quadcopters, balloons, and fixed-wing aircraft. The joke comes from the absurd contrast between a heavy modern tank and cheap small drones, along with the serious style of a military manual applied to an unusual task. This meme is used as a sarcastic reaction to the vulnerability of conventional military equipment to drones.
