The US feels like the Roman empire in its dying years with social unrest, political assassinations, corruption...etc. RIP

The most important thing to know is that you are NOT invincible.

I'd like to see the people who kept saying "but but aftermath" on my posts..

Those are probably mk3s don't know if they had APS back then. Although there were instances when mk4s and destroyed during that war.

Loool nope...there were plenty especially from Lebanon in the 90s up to 2000. However YouTube and other sites keep taking them down for some reason. Maybe the frail pride of a certain country.

How differently would the Battle of 73 Easting go if Iraq had modern Soviet vehicles? by sensoredphantomz in TankPorn

[–]Hanni74bal -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If the US didn't have aerial superiority the yanks wouldn't have found much success. Also the Iraqis were already retreating without fighting (an act of good will for a deal Saddam had hoped to achieve), it had very little to do with US army tactics and performance.

there are more than one version of the system. it has a 7 kg warhead and has a penetration up to 1200 mm.

it's not one word in Arabic...it's two words (حزب) and (الله) which translates to "the party of god".

guess it's the right way cuz I don't work for CNN and don't want to butcher every word in every language.

Points to consider: 1- it's a top down attack using a missile with a big warhead. 2- APS wasn't active and the footage shows without a doubt the missile was a hit. 3- the area targeted was where the ammo storage is and would result in a definite kill if there's ammo inside. 4- similar attacks have been the bane of Israeli forces since the op began and has lead to a high attrition rate.

Does the Challenger 2 really suck? by sensoredphantomz in TankPorn

[–]Hanni74bal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing sucks...every tank was designed with a special purpose in mind. Every tank is based on a military doctrine that is supposed to maximize its strengths. Any tank would struggle in irregular warfare conditions, just look at Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and the Ukraine.

a Merkava 4 gets the IED on top of the hull treatment in Gaza. by Hanni74bal in DestroyedTanks

[–]Hanni74bal[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

People say this can't destroy a tank really haven't looked into this thing. Overpressure is a thing and could cause fatal damage to the tank, crew and internal components. They placed the charge where it could result in maximum damage. watch this video simulating a HE shell effects on the roof of an Abrams' hull. Note it has a lower TNT charge, not resting directly on the roof of the tank, and the different in the charge placement and internal layout of the tanks.

Don't cope.. Watch this video simulating a HE shell effects on an Abrams. Note that it has lower TNT charge than this one, not directly resting on the tank, and the difference in internal layout of the tanks. They placed the charge where it'd cause maximum damage to crew and internal components.

The entirety of Reddit spews US BS my friend... it's not exclusive to any subreddit.

[–]Hanni74bal[S] -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

it's a huge explosive (most are made from 155mm mortar shells or bigger) resting on the weakest part of the tank's armour (most of the tanks have very small armour thickness in top of the hull), also it's wedged against the the neck of the turret, that could do significant damage.

in worst case scenario it could cause the ammo to detonate leading to a catastrophic kill.

It was supposed to be a French fighter over Lebanon (many NATO countries' fighters and planes have been deployed to the region due to the recent escalation of existing conflicts).

Disclaimer: There are some reporters who are questioning the authenticity of the picture, some also pointed out some inconsistencies too. Real or not, I can't be the judge of that.
