Just look at that landscape...looks like a shot from moon..

German soldiers firing a Gatling "Revolverkanone" in German Eastern Africa, 1906:

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.

Yup those where my first sport shoes, The red/white new balance are great!
The yellow ones I think I wear 3 times, they are crap, I got those since I have really big foot and the normal shoes where not available in my size. (I have size 12 ½.)
Thats also Why I have allot of boots, I actually use 2.. but I got 2 pair magnum's and 2 pair old boots extra. (witch are the best made boots ever imo!)

Anyways This is without all the desert crap.. our regular PT close is blue/white btw.. but every new soldier just get Nike spotsclothes.. we have our own regiment PT clothes.
someone spotted the badass mask?

Its because the germans make also the best :)

Followed closely by the Russians, who also build epic looking tanks

Russian tanks has always been robuust. Take one up to date russian tank VS an up to date Westren tank, and you have a tank wich cost much less, easier to maintain, and get simular to better combat performance

Robust until the ammo cooks off. Having plenty of cheap, easy to maintain, robust Soviet armour really helped the Iraqis back in '91.

Thats very easily said.

The Iraqi's had 4500 tanks during the first gulf war. Of these, where the grand majority Type 59(Chinese copy of the T-54) and the Type 69 (Chinese copy of the T-55). These are 50   50 year old tanks. They are infact even cheaper ones then the russian counterparts. These tanks have to face 3150 Modern tanks (US M1 Abrams and M60. British Challenger I). Their is no doubt that they will lose

Of the 4500 tanks, the Iraqi's had 200 T-72M Asad babil or Lion of Babylon tanks. These tanks could destroy the above tanks. Not bad for a tank wich is 20 years older then the M1 right? What was the problem? They lacked night vision, and the devisions equipped with T-72M where often attacked at night. Still, the Frontal armor was able to withstand TOW, Javelin and even some 120MM HEAT rounds fired by an abrams. Not bad for a 20 year old tank ?

Plus their armamant was effecient enough. Many US officials deny it, but their is enough evidence that M1's where taken out by T-72M's. One fully confirmed kill is M1 Abrams Callsign B-23


Not bad for a 20 year old tank eh?

And recall what i said. An up to date modern russian tank has simular or better combat performance then many of their westren counterparts. And at a much cheaper and easier to maintain cost.

M51 Supershermans of the IDF during the 6 Day war. It might be hard to belief, but these old WW2 tanks put up a pretty good fight against Arab armor. Taking down modern T-55 and T-62's because of the excellent french 105 mm CN 105 F1 and excellent aiming and firecontrol..


buutt.....when they got hit by anything anti-tank
