How Mountain Warfare Actually Works

This video breaks down how mountain combat actually works on the modern battlefield, from why the ridge you just captured is a death trap, to reading the terrain, moving under fire, ballistics that lie above three thousand meters, drones, and the two-hundred-year rule that drones just cancelled. We'll go through why altitude is the mountain's real currency, why you should aim low when shooting up or down a slope, why the wounded man is the heaviest thing in your rucksack, how a drone hanging over a ridge sees what no army has seen for two centuries, and why the Italian Alps of 1916 wrote the rulebook that Nagorno-Karabakh 2020 rewrote overnight. This video is not a guide, and does not go through every detail of mountain warfare. This is simply an overview.
