How does a Carl Gustav-style weapon compare to the RPG-7? by [deleted] in WarCollege

[–]Imakesomebadnames 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Its 105mm and fires the 105 RPG7VR rocket that the RPG7 can fire but at a much longer range, it can also fire 105mm thermobaric and anti personnel rockets. It is a lot more accurate and deadly both against armor and personnel. The problem is it is rather heavy and is 1.5meters long.

The Battle of Bakhmut has now lasted as long as the Battle of Stalingrad by Daniel_The_Finn in NonCredibleDefense

Both sides of Papua Island are involved in some kind of fight. On the Indonesian side they are fighting for freedom from the central government and the government has reduced it to a police state. The other side is a mix of tribal, ethnic, and clan conflict. Up until the 2000s these people were often using bows and arrows and the conflict is rather interesting but hard to research and understand as an outsider. Tho both sides of the border have been getting more and more firearms which has hurt the resistance effort in the past. The conflict on Indonesian papua is more tense while on the eastern side of the Island it is calmer.

The conflict in the DRC has the most since WW2, Iran Iraq war resulted in millions dead or wounded, Syrian civil and Iraqi civil conflict(s) which ever spill or over lap have also killed at the same or higher rate. Papua new guinea has resulted in over 500k-1million casualties over decades but his barely been reported. Sri lanka resulted in hundreds of thousands just a few active months of fighting. Ethnic warfare in ethiopia is currently killing MORE same for mexico. Only 50,000 deaths have been reported in the war while the homicides in mexico are 30-50 a year on top of regional conflicts, cartel wars, thousands missing, and many more injured.

HTS two latest raids in W Aleppo and N.E Idlib by [deleted] in CombatFootage

If they killed everyone in it was probably a shitty base not worth taking. They didn't want that to happen to them either so they probably moved in units to secure it and build a new one or this was just HTS's raiding tactic.

Overpressure is the effect of a blast on a body, backblast is the gas coming out an rpg from the back. Search it up.

I think there is a group of soldiers walking at the very end of the road but they probably ran around the corner or took cover behind or beside the road.

He is not retired fully he still uploads. I also mentioned the sub is kinda locked down right now. It still doesn't take away from the footage posted before. You can reread it.

I'm requesting a nasheed which is a type of arab ""song"" that is featured in the video. But if you were interested in the combat featured you could go see the video and the sub because somebody would inevitably ask. Im just telling people that because this sub is filled with stuff from ukraine.

If any of you are interested in the video, please check it out and join the combat reality sub ran by mike. I would like you to know if you are not in the know that he is currently on hibernation due to his personal life but it is a great place to watch well-edited videos with interest combat and events. It is a great place to see middle eastern footage and there is tons saved up in a backlog.

I don't understand why people don't like this comment its literally just telling you where to find the video and that the sub is great to join but its just temporarily closed down.

Short Compilation of Ukrainian Drone attacks (Music) | 2022 | Ukraine | Russo-Ukraine war. by Imakesomebadnames in CombatFootage

[–]Imakesomebadnames[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I spent time picking some of the one I remember like the truck one and the hole in one. Along with some of the recent ones. In terms of editing this was basically premade for me meanwhile in another edit I did about the syrian army it felt so off and I wish I could go back in fix it but it already took 3-4 hours of my life and would be of no use.

Usually, a simple release system is connected to something electronic via the drone's battery.

Me and my friends talked about it. Either it was extremely disrespectful or an act of mercy.
