Anyone who supports the UN is a closet totalitarian and most likely supports a one world government which will enslave us all.

ONTOS in Viernam that is.


EDIT:
I do not know if this is real or not, but i seriously doubt that everything went to plan here. I mean, those people in the back seem a tad to close to that rather big explosion.

It's real alright and you're very right about things not going to plan.

During Operation Granby a Centurion AVRE was said to have caught fire which then spread to the munitions, resulting in the massive blast you see here. The fact that it caught fire meant that people were able to try and escape and as a result there were, amazingly, only 4 minor injuries from the blast.

A rumour was that the crew were cooking breakfast on the engine deck. Not a great way to start your day if that's true!

British crews have been doing that since WW2. Hell, the tanks where modified so they could cook food on the engine deck.

Young German soldier during the later stage of WW1.
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.

It has been confirmed it was the last....

The crew was indeed cooking food and the fuel valve was open.................

2 centurion AVRE's have exploded like that during its long carreer.

One exploded when appearntly the loader dropped a HESH shell and it detonated
the second one in the gulf war as you see above...........died in the most stupid way.

Such a shame to die this way

Yustax likes surprise SVD Dragunov attack.

By the way Tolga, you have pics of a turkish JNG-90 Bora?

Sorry, I dont have any at least from a personal collection. But there are some pics on certain military forums.

And something new from me, not a country well known for its military but I think these guys just look plain badass. Mexican Police/Military Force.
