Peshmerga posing with various rifles. Must be a logistical challenge supplying everyone with ammo of various calibres.

Thanks Theta. ;)

And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

One M46 patton pulls out another M46 patton in korea. These tanks were a major improvement over the M26 pershing, having a new continental 806HP engine and cross-drive transmission

Looks like a terrible place for tanks. One centimeter off course and you're stuck in the mud, not to mention there is absolutely nowhere to maneuver to if they get ambushed. Did the NVA have any viable AT though?

Too intimidating with claws and fangs, yet it gets stuck in the mud.

0/10 try again.

You mean north korea right?

They had it in the form of Soviet copies of the Panzerfaust (and captured examples) and WW2 era anti-tank guns. But the M26 and M46 were very tough nuts to crack. Fighting was often over 500+meter range and these were hardened WW2 tank crews. Only the T34-85 was a capable match vs the M4A3E8 sherman, but bad training of Korean crews really limited this. Only early on was the T34-85 an onslaught because of the troops having little anti-tank guns aswel, and only having the M24 chaffee at there disposal

Perhaps ask that to the North koreans who faced these tanks at the bloody ridge.

Well you cant anyway, as our great leader Kim jong doesnt listen!

Very illustrative picture from the fighting at Donetsk. I wonder what happened to the crew of that tank after the collapsing bridge trapped em there. Ukraine, lately.

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom
