New! Having a question about weapons used in AFG

[Mr.Eko]

1. What kind of weapons and munition did the ISAF (esp. the US) use to fight the Taliban effectively despite the Talibans' guerilla tactics? (examples)

2. What kind of weapons and munition did the Taliban use to withstand the technological and military supremacy of the ISAF?

3. Are there weapons by the US that are specifically developed for asymmetric wars like in Afghanistan?

 

[ViperJeff]

Well, there's no doubt it increased the use and development of drones and there capabilities

 

[kwo51]

All the above would be the answer. M4 is used by both sides to kill each other.We armed them financed them and now fight them. Same as most wars we fight.

 

[ViperJeff]

shhhh

Nobody's supposed to know that

 

[kwo51]

I won't tell if you don't!

 

[ViperJeff]

It's a shame drones are to small to carry the MOAB

 

[Bluez]

1. The M4 and in many usnit the M16 are the primary rifles. M240 and M249 are also common

2. They mostly used AK's, PKMs ( a GPMG) are commonly employ as anti personnel and anti drone. They also use heat insulating blankets against thermal

3. Some might argue Drones.. But they are not a specific developed, neither is direction finding gear for radio comms. But both of course get a lot og use there.
