Paratroopers: Are they still relevant?

Greetings fellow Jow Forumsommandos!

So paratroopers were mentioned while i was watching a documentary and i wonder, are they useless air trash or not?

Both arguements are true

Though you need air superiority and weather on your side

"John watch out it's a malfunctioning. MiG-21"

"Again?"

They're always, always very dangerous to use, because they enter the battlefield disorganized, separated, and without any supplies. A determined counterattack or a good defense can generally wipe them out.

They also jump out of cargo aircraft, which can be shot down really easily if the enemy has any AA.

With this being said, they're really mobile, and they can go pretty much anywhere at any time, and that makes them really useful for seizing opportunities on the battlefield or reacting quickly to changing circumstances.

Idk, but they seem to be pretty scary in a civil war scenario, no ?

If everything fails they'd probably regroup in hell kek

>still

They were never relevant.
