Tank without infantry support = baaad idea.

They known it, but Syrians have lack of good infantry and use tanks so much instead of this. It's not so bad, they don't lost tanks too often because poor armament of FSA.

 

In this video Ossetian guerrilla-figthers destroy Georgian T-72 in Tskhinvali.

Even if they lack the infantry needed to support the tanks they still could have manned the heavy machine guns on top of the turrets of the T-72's; they're there for a reason. The reason is in tight urban areas the main gun of the tank can't aim high enough to take out insurgents armed with anti tank weaponry, and they cant see anything. The machine gun gunner can be used as an observer.

They're little more than canned meat in those tanks blindly and very ineffectively firing into random buildings, they would definitely need infantry to take out the anti tank gunners and observers to give the tanks targets and  to direct fire.

Those tanks are still pretty cool though.

Quite the excitable bunch, aren't they? 

 

I thought you said you were American, old boy?

 

EDIT:

 

Watching that video, while sympathising with the poor terrified bastards I did think "Is that T72 trolling by making smoke like that?"

Russian Tu-22M Backfire bombers escorted by Su-27 Flankers simulate night attack on Sweden. Sweden's military, however, was too slow to react and had to rely on help from Nato.

Ammo dump site in Iraq burning down and exploding, starts kinda slow but it gets pretty intense approx 50 sec in. 

 

 

And remote detonating 35 tons of old surplus ammo....

I must be getting cynical. My first thought was "I wonder how much go missing from a dump just before it 'all' gets destroyed in a detonation."

In the memoirs of a UH-1 pilot who served in Vietnam, "Chickenhawks", the supply sergeants of his regiment often distributed surplus gear to the men. However, the Army being as tightfisted as it was, nonetheless demanded what was the fate of the gear that had gone missing. This conundrum was solved whenever a helicopter was shot down, as the supply sergeants would say that the missing inventory had gone down with the aircraft. One report had said five tons of equipment had been lost with one Huey; the Huey has a nominal load of one ton.

Heh. Good book, Chickenhawk. I love the description of how to fly a helicopter at the beginning.

Putin's Russia need fear no concrete block, twenty feet away.

[Gfted1]

I thought it was pretty funny that it was a test fired from a static plane suspended 2 feet off the ground. I wonder what they were testing, that things still explode?

My money's on a private firing.

 

Plane's an old Frogfoot, hung up on chains, in weird looking colours. Don't know what that missile is, but anything legit would be rigged to travel further before exploding. And that target looks pretty much pointless. No measuring devices, place looks like a  junkyard more than a firing range.

I dunno, C&C 1 had better cutscenes than that.

Su-34 Fullback strike fighter actually from the looks of it (side-by-side pilot/co-pilot cackpit, nose that looks like a platypus').

 

And when has the Russian aerospace been known for exceptional OSHA compliance?

I think you're exactly correct! I don't know why but I thought the Frogfoot was side by side. Shows what I know.

Do want moar Lulz from best British war experts.  

1. It's military testing. Our barbaric warriors often make extremely thing with arms. On this gif showed minimal rocket range launch test + test of survivability of jet aircrafts after near explosion.

2. This old Frogfoot actually is SU-34. Armored stealth beast with plasma-shield and EMP weapons, no analogs exists around the world. Any NATO aircraft is just useless junk with comparison with him. Only two these dreadnoughts completely destroy Georgian SAM defense (mostly Ukrainian mercs, but they even better than typical NATO SAM).

Go Russian Bear!

 

[Zoraptor]

Russian bear troops use AKSU (or Groza, if Spetsnaz variant), not AK47 and PPSh (do they even make the ammo for that any more) let alone carry Jerry guns as back up. Also no stirrups, essential when using a bayonet or sword when mounted especially with bear's gait. And crypto-pedobear complete with vodka bottle?

 

Imperiocapitalist propaganda detected.

Also, dafuq is this evil fascist MP40 doing there!

To be honest I feel that I should have used the phrase "capitalist running bears" instead.

 

Perfect opportunity, chance missed.
