More conflicts, less patriotic posts or training posts.

Because u ask so nicely, I think these are 2 Bradley's. The one on the front has had better days is seems tough.

Iraqi fail tank. The caption said T-55 but it is probably some cheap Chinese knockoff like the last pic. My guess is a large bomb barely "missed" it causing it to flip over.



And as an extra, artillery suppressor? All i know is that the Germans did something crazy here.

The grand majority of Iraqi tanks where chinese type 59,62 and 69.

They had around 1000 T-62's. Wich was 20% of the tank forces if i recall (as their where 5500 tanks during the first gulf war)

The best tank the iraqi's had, where T-72 "asad babil" tanks. Wich where slightly better equipped(Belgian Night/thermal vision on some and camera's) T-72's but with less armour

The Iraqi 'tanks' shouldnt have been called 'tanks' they were rip off's of Soviet tanks. Sure some of them were actual tanks from the Soviets but many of them were rip off's. Im surprised they ran at all.

2nd pic today, sue me.

Well, yeah, they are tanks by definition.

Also some Chinese rip off's are better then the original, you know that? also pretty much everything in the world is Chinese at the moment so that argument isn't really valid any more since the stuff they rip off are often also made in China.

Well, if one of my friends brings an RPG-29 then that the problem is solved.
But it does not really matter, a lot of tough looking guys often are nice people, this could just as well be the case here since i don't belong to the group of people that he is trying to kill.

Anyway, i think this could be irony at work, mine clearing tank knocked out with mine.


Also, The person they based Rambo on.


What is that, 20mm, 25 mm? Even more? I have no idea what kind of canon this is, but it looks like it came from an IFV or so.

Looks like a 25mm.

2 pics from an Operation in Tunceli on May 1st.




Story is that PKK hit a Jandarma station and killed 4 soldiers and wounded 7, they called for backup but there was too much fog for the helicopters so a 100 man Mountain Commando team jogged 30 or so kilometers but couldnt make it in time.

Tolga,

If the Turks would be attacking a PKK base I am pretty sure you would wait for an opportunity to outnumber your stupidly sleeping enemy and attack in surprise.

If this attack was planned 3 months ahead : Why did you not prepare yourself better for it ?
They can still pick a time of the day with very high chance of fog (like early mornings) and make advantage of it. You would have done the same.

I just smell such a big blind bias ; I understand you think your fight is justified and honorable. But they think the exact same, and have their own arguments why what you are doing is unfair and not honorable (And/or stupid). A befriended photographer went to Kurdistan in Northern Iraq for a few months and did a documentary there...the story always has two sides.

And the turkish-pkk one is not 100% as 'clear' as you think it is yourself. It's messy, complicated and politicized.

Just for you, a pretty Kurd girl :)

Less talk more pics plzkthxbai.
Anyway:




German Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) search a house in a raid in northern Afghanistan. Most likely the area is around Kunduz, the troubled province where fights between German forces and OMF started to escalate since the beginning of 09.

I hope these pics work now, if not, Ciupita, it´s your turn again ;)
