Egyptian I think.

ATGM hit, the turret had massive spalling.

Saudis giving TOWs to terrorists.

And people wonder why Saudi Arabia is getting bad fate lately...

So many deaths in Yemen.. so many deaths in Syria. And they don't get shit for it because they sell oil. meh.

Well, that's easy. Saudi Arabia.

Also one of possible candidates, in fact Iraqi army have Mi-28NE with radars and night optics/thermals. I think that this heli would have been better, although it seems that MoD try to either save them, or Mi-24's cargo compertment is usefull.

Maybe in the future we'll see Mi-28s. Hopefully.

No, Ka-50s are not in production and their numbers are so low that forget about it.

 

Ka-52 are also not used, as they don't have ATGMs ready (Kalashnikov concern only recently restarted Vikhr ATGM production, Hermes-A long range missiles development stage is unknown for several years). Mi-35s were better choice, but they are covering Southern regions of Russia and they are pretty new (low number of "free" helicopters).

Well... dreams crushed.

What about Mi-28s?

Needs more Kamov. And when I say Kamov, I mean the glorious Chornaya Akula!

Speaking of which, any Ka-50s deployed in Syria?

Screaming victory and then they hit a pole... well, OK.

That would be helpfull! 

Busy with school though so I can't get to Syria. Maybe later.

I should volunteer to become a translator. Good English and good Arabic.

Did they use the M1 much for crowd control/security?  Almost all of the pictures I saw in the media were M60 tanks.

Kind of.

^last one is more of military defense than civil defense though. It's a small military base.

Had more of these on my PC, but can't access it atm.

Those "spokes" are permanently fixed to tank, they act as ERA mounting points.

Yeah, I know the ERA is stuck at it. I thought they were added on the hull after the tank is built though, not permanently fixed to it.

How not to use a tank. Entry level 101. 

Yeah, here in Egypt we used our M1A1s in 2011 as roadblocks. Nothing could pass rofl.

 

T-80BV with "cage" armor, ERA removed.

T-80 instantly loses all its charm when the ERA is removed. Also, are these spikes left to penetrate filthy capitalists or what? Why didn't they remove them when they removed the ERA? I think Object 292 also has these.

I like the use of ammunition as ERA...

HE rounds. I actually thought they were 1949 BR-412D at first lol.

I think that no one in particular won. The Soviets did a certain field, then the Americans did another field. But the Soviets went.. inactive after the Americans landed on the moon. Kind of. Not as active as NASA at least. But I think that's something related to budgets. Even the NASA has this problem (budget), though.

From that video

64 kb/s download speed so don't whine about quality.

but merika won space raec 

Freedom.

Looks like the Gazelle I think.

Old picture though

The only way to save America from ISIS to to have a base on Mars to launch freedom lasers at super velocities and to save Aliens from Islam before you get suicide UFOs. 

I keep hearing about the person who discovered water on Mars being Egyptian. Is it true? If so, that's kinda funny.

Fuck, you're right. I should work more on my KGB skills and stop taking everything literally.

Fake, second part of this video is edited game footage, either from Lock On or another similar type of games (simulator). AFAIK Su-25s don't fly so low during day operations. I never actually saw Su-25 used during dayligh. They were used at night airstrikes, but thats all.

The weird thing though is that people say that the Su-25 in that video is this one:

This is really confusing. I thought the smoke looked unnatural too, but that picture... not sure.

SU-25 MANPAD'd?

Jeez, don't you guys know anything about cold war soviet tanks?   The T-70 MBT!   It totally existed, at least in the minds of western intelligence experts.  It looked almost exactly like a very early T-64 but it was somehow different.  Much like bigfoot, it only existed in blurry, hard to see pictures.  

This is an old post but do you know what is it? Imo it looks suspiciously close to the T-64R, which were T-64s upgraded to A standard, but not fully.
