 @haparcheledupwar they are just human man, they put their lives on the line to protect people from an entirely different continent

@roadhouse6999 the Irish also had the benefit of massive lanes of uninhibited fire, the enemy didn't have any armor, and the "air support"they had was a modified trainer aircraft that missed a lot of its attack runs

@MbisonBalrog no, they had pickup trucks and old jeeps, and the Irish had mortars and HMGS, and a well prepared defensive fighting position that had amazing lanes of fire on anyone advancing towards them The Chinese had to fight against an overwhelming force who had T54/55s, armored vehicles, heavy weapons, and anywhere from 2-10x the amount of troops as the chinese all while having next to no armored vehicles, and the largest weapon they had on hand was a .50cal

@aaroncousins4750 hat? The entire force took 8 casualties including 3 supporting Indian troops along with 5 wounded Irishman, also THE IRISH HAD PREPARED DEFENSIVE POSITIONS AND CLEAR LANES OF FIRE

jackiechan8653 american special forces in Africa ran away from a fight and lost several operators kiddo Stop trying to think Americans are invincible, or do I need to bring up Mogadishu? Where more heavily armed Americans basically lost and had to fully pull out of the country because they got their asses handed to them by a bunch of Skinnies with AKs

 @MbisonBalrog considering the USSR built like 150k of them? They are like the Honda Civic of tanks
10
Yeah with the help of offensive weapons, air support, artillery, etc. The Chinese had none of that

@arthas640 where did you get that the Africans were battle hardened veterans? Every source (including the small number of mercenaries) stated that the African "soldiers" were mainly villagers and forced conscripts The Mercenaries had to execute several katangan villagers for retreating during the battle just to keep order in the overall force And artillery surrounding the Irish? They had a single ww1 era 75mm cannon and a handful of 81mm mortars lmao, and the aircraft they had a Magister training aircraft, that had been retrofitted in country to provide actual combat support But it used highly unreliable barrel bombs and 7.62mm guns with a limited ammo capacity And most of the Katangan mortars and the 75mm field gun were destroyed relatively early in the fight by counter battery fire from the Irish 80mm mortars

@MbisonBalrog it really is funny, go look up a picture of the jet they used, it was just a trainer jet that they bolted some machine guns and barrel bombs (literally just a barrel filled with explosives) to, Fouga Magister is the name of the jet Gotta respect the Katangans for using what they had tho, but if i remember correctly, it was modified by Belgian mercenaries and flown by a Belgian pilot, so not really a Katangan design
6
@aaroncousins4750 "casualties" includes wounded, so if you dont want to include the wounded dont use the term "casualty"
6
@MbisonBalrog they had a modified trainer aircraft that missed almost every attack run it made
6
@d.o.g573 cowardice" where? The Chinese left untenable positions (btw EVERY military does this) and held at their central compound protecting 9k civilians They had no heavy weapons, no atgms, no armor. They realistically couldn't engage enemy armor so they did the sensible thing, fall back to your best defenses and hold Light infantry can't fight armor
6
@LDNRDR true true, but I gotta give it to that one Belgian mercenary who flew it and blew up 4 planes on an airfield I also think he went on to shoot down the plane that the UN General Secretary was on
4
@MbisonBalrog they had a 75mm field gun, a handful of 60-80mm mortars and rifles so they didnt really have a lot, they also had to cross over 300-500 meters of open terrain against an entrenched force that had HMGs and 80mm mortars The Irish had the benefit of a well defensible position
4
 @u2beuser714 he expects them to do some COD shit like blow up a tank with an AK
4
A lot of UN forces do this,its to create a screen between civilians and active locations of fighting, if a mob is going down a street thats leading towards a firefight, they'll pop teargas as a way to divert the mob Its a lot safer than putting a squad in between a firefight and a mob of a thousand + civilians

@carlstanford7607 evacuated what refugees? The Irish got captured and held as POWs and traded in and off balance prisoner swap

Oh you own a weapon from Norinco? Awesome! The ATF give out rewards for rating out people who own norinco products
2
Its a UN mission, they send Medical officers, trainers, logistics officers, etc etc. Often time the officers are used to help with the overall mission and helping coordinate peace deals between groups The US, France, UK, Germany, etc all send a disproportionate amount of officers as well
1
 @stayplay3063 yeah the Indians have also committed a shit load of Warcrimes during UN peacekeeping missions so let's not praise them too much lmao
1
 @NeostormXLMAX eah and it's also illegal to own or import a Norinco product, don't worry i just reported his YouTube handle to the ATF Gotta love making money off idiots

UN Briefing Alright guys we are sending you into Sudan, they have a lot of old soviet armor and atgms We will be sending you in with rifles and grenades, and no fortifications or medical gear, no go out there and fight two armies at once

@ThatMidWestDude513 what artillery? The largest piece of equipment they had were small caliber mortars, and a trainer aircraft that couldn't hit anything The Irish had the luxury of absolutely MASSIVE firing lanes and prepared defenses in a town that was much more defensible than Juba Having been to Juba I can say its a fucking nightmare just living there, having enemies come at you with Tanks, 120mm artillery, RPGS, Mortars, HMGs, etc would be nightmare fuel Also the Katangans had to cross about 300-500 meters of open ground to even get to the Irish defenses, meaning the Katangans had zero cover while being fired at with HMGs and 80mm mortars Oh and the Irish also didn't have to worry about protecting 30k+ civilians in a heavily urbanized area with two heavily armed and armored enemies attacking them Now if you can show me a source for the Irish having to fight T55s are Jadotville, that would change the story, but it seems you just let your closet racism out so you could say "muh Chinese bad"

@adambrande hey man, most westerners lack critical thinking they just see "China lost" and immediately jump on it But then westerners also forget that they had Osama Bin Laden cornered in like 2004 and let him get away through sheer incompetence, point is Westerners are the world's biggest hypocrites
1
@jewishmafiosiandganglord6930 the UN told them, the UN sets the rules for equipment that is allowed on certain missions and sets the ROE, the UN declared that only defensive and light equipment is allowed in Sudan, also the UN dictates the force size and type of troops to he deployed (also Bangladeshi troops were at the same outpost, where were their tanks?) And looking it up, the UNSC will not let any UN unit deploy with offensive weaponry unless explicitly approved by the entire U.N.S.C or United Nations Security Council And most Bangladeshi deployments for the UN deploy with small arms and light armor, actually looking it up, doesn't even look like the Bangladeshi's have any heavy armor deployed to UN missions right now
1
And are you going to get 120+ countries to all use the same equipment and doctrine?

 @dawnfire82 Korea isn't a good example, like at all
1
Look! He listens to state propaganda sources Independent sources show that both sides took comparable casualties

@jarjarbinks3193 I really hate to tell you this, I dont even have a side in this tiny dick measuring contest But homie is right and the UN do have a report on it, took me a quick Google search to see that And it was found that Indian Peacekeepers avoided the fight, also in a UN Report Do some research homie, also do research on the times that Indian Peacekeepers have been responsible for massacres cough Katanga cough
