    According to Bild (I know...) there are only 8 Tigers of 53 operational in Bundeswehr - and only 12 of 99 NH-90...

    It reminds me this 12 years old sketch from Bird & Fortune...

    The muzle break seems to be very effective. The platform looks very stable during the fire despite it has quite a big and powerfull gun.

    I thought the Epokha gun was more like a big grenade launcher, i.e. low pressure gun. Does it make sense to have APFSDS rounds for it?

    New Anna news video from the recent opeation in Idlib, as always absolutely worth watching.

    I guess the shockwave hits the camera only after the shot is already taken.

    Nah, the real museum fights elsewhere (Yemeni T-34-85 and SU-100 for example). These are still pretty good for most of the currently running conflicts.

    New map from https://twitter.com/Suriyakmaps

    SAA captured Jarjanaz town (pre-war population 11 thousand) and by that closed the small pocket with the Turkish base in Surman.
  10. Beer
    SAA captured Al Tah town, the first bigger place in the offensive (around 9000 inhibitants before the war). Some reports say they reached M5 highway west of Al Tah (3-4 km from another TSK base in Maar Hattah). The TSK base in Al Surman is effectively besieged already since only a narrow corridor along the road Al Surman - Abu Makki - Jarjanaz is not yet captured but SAA is already deployed along the road on the both southern and northern side. An attack on Jarjanaz and Abu Makki is most likely a question of hours. I really wonder what is the point of leaving the Turkish bases being besieged one by one by the SAA. What do the Turks think they can achieve by that?

    Any idea how many were built and if it ever made it to any regular units?
  12. Beer
    It's probably much cheaper than on the tracked chassis.
  13. Beer
    That means it's most likely common 850 nm wavelength NIR light source.

    That map is already outdated due to a fast SAA advance. This shall be the situation around the TSK base now. Even the rebels confirm there was already an attack on al Heraki just north of Surman (they claim they repulsed it). The source is heavily pro-SAA https://twitter.com/Syrian_MC but there seems to be very little controversy areound the recent gains.

    How is this an "analysis"? Or was it posted for the entertainment purpose? EDIT: Sorry, only now I read the whole thread...

    In the first 48 hours SAA keeps rather high speed of advance. The Turkish base in Al Surman is already within sight of SAA and may be cut off soon just like the one encircled for months in Morek. The Turkish base as seen from the current SAA positions Latest map From: This is the base

    Tatra 148, quite a rare sight already! Meanwhile there are reportas about a Kalibr salvo from the Mediteranean to Idlib.

    Czech army received the first two KOVS and another two KOVVŠ vehicles (variants of Pandur II CZ) from Tatra Defence. KOVS is a mobile radio post and KOVVŠ is a mobile command post. Overall it shall be 20 new vehicles in these two variants. https://www.armadninoviny.cz/spolecnost-tatra-defence-vehicle-predala-ceske-armade-prvni-specialni-pandury-ve-stanovenem-terminu.html And a interesting photo from pdoruction

    Unfortunately the critically injured woman passed away today.
  20. Beer
    He was said to go to a shooting range from time to time. Anyway he killed all the people in one room, so it is possible that he did it in executional style.

    Six people, four men and two women, were shot dead today in the Ostrava university hospital, Czechia and another three were injured (one woman is in critical condition). It was not an act of terror but an act of a mad man. The shooter was said to suffer from certain illness (he believed it was a cancer) for several months and had a feeling that the doctors didn't want to treat him and nobody wanted to listen to him. It's not clear if he was really ill or if he only believed so. In any case he got mad and today morning he shot nine people sitting in the waiting room in the hospital using illegally owned semi-auto pistol. All the victims were accidentally chosen hospital patients. The first police responders arrived to the place in only three minutes after the emergency call was received but the shooter was already on the run (certain witness said he panicked and run away when some more people appeared when he was changing the magazine). The shooter drove to his mother, told her what he did, said he was going to kill himself and drove away. Meanwhile the police quickly found his identity and three and half hours after the shooting found him with a hellicopter. The shooter however shot himself in the head when the hellicopter appeared. The police claim he was conscious and able to communicate for a few more minutes before he died. Such events of mass killing are very rare in our country. It was only the second case I remember in my whole life. While it is of course a big tragedy it is notable that the emergency system worked very well. The police reaction was very fast including the dispatch of the special forces. The hospital radio and text messages were quickly used to inform and advise the people in the hospital what to do. The police was very quickly able to analyze the available video footage, question the witnesses and find the identity of the shooter. He was very quickly found afterwards.

    First L-39NG in serial configuration flew today (second flying prototype and fourth overall).
  23. Beer
    Are you sure it's produced in Slovakia? It used to be produced in Zbrojovka Vsetín (Czechia today) for the Czechoslovak army but the production ended decades a go. I know about some very low volume production in Vysoké Mýto, Czechia, but AFAIK not for military use.
  24. Beer
    No, they were commonly used with jihadi crews and they were also quite often destroyed in the fighting. The available footage shows stuff like single ACV-15 charge on SDF positions etc. That's a level of incompetence which definitely can't be attributed to the Turkish army.
  25. Beer
    Not only MRAPs. ACV-15 IFVs have been pretty widespread among the jihadists for years already.
