Apologies if I didn't place this in a right spot/or if its a repost. Please deal with it accordingly in both manners. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHN_zaMJz0Y Check the video to get a perspective of Syria, I hope that all the conflict can end soon, but damn that T-72 looks menacing. (The applied armor really does it for me as well) @ 11 minutes BMP-2s @ 41 minutes past graphic warning - T-72 completely destroyed by RPG 29 AT shot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Darayya_(2012%E2%80%93present) \ don't know how credible the sources are, it seems like Syria is pretty dark.
I put it in the free fire section (no play on words) . It(sn either a game, nor a stump thread, and it's not a film either, so pretty hard. Ofcourse if some political comments are going to be made, it will be moved to the stump . The tank crew seems quite amateuristic, they almost took out one of their own armored vehicles at 0.08. Then they just sit and wait. If I were the enemy I would come close in the mid of the dust cloud they make for nothing all the time and throw a few grenades mines at strategic points. Much more fun than a the RPG. They are in fact easy targets and seem to shoot only in front onf them , so they are vulnerable on the sides too .
You can definitely see that in play, as one of there tanks (in the open) is quite literally ripped apart, a waste of a viable asset taken from a smaller weapon and some cover. I can't imagine things are going well for the Government if their crews are poorly trained and they're pressing mechanized units into cities.
Good lord. And does indeed sort of illustrate - tanks in towns... No thanks. (Not that I'd say thanks for any sort of combat, but you know what I mean.)
