 What does ARA mean?

google is not my friend when I look it up.

[Paasky]

That's why you use wikipedia:
Armada de la República Argentina, the Argentine Navy

[Torenico]

A4 Skyhawk during the Falklands War. This A4 belongs to the IV Air Brigade, and it appears that this particular A4 took part in the sinking of a Royal Navy ship.

[:| Hi]

Love reading about those, great aircraft.

[Torenico]

Oooh the Spooky! Love it in IL2 Stumorvik

I have a FMB scenario where you start flying a Spooky and support advancing ground troops, taking out enemy armor with your Miniguns!

Syrian army tanks are seen stationed at the entrance to Baba Amr neighbourhood in Homs on February 13, 2012. Syria ignored a new Arab initiative to end the bloodshed, with its troops pounding the protest hub of Homs as Russia said a ceasefire is needed before peacekeepers can be deployed.

OOh, history in the making.

A Syrian amry armored personel carrirer is seen at a district of Harasta, some 9 kilometers north of Damascus on February 15, 2012. Syria's president Bashar al-Assad has called a referendum on a new constitution that would effectively end nearly five decades of single party rule, state media said, as troops reportedly stormed protest hubs.

Interesting add-on armour.

Were they effective? Cant imagine them working for long distances, and at the front it looks like a easy target.

[TurkishCommando007]

probably in situations that the soldiers couldnt get out of the trench to send it. I think they were used for medium distances because they would use the communication trench for short and the bicycle messengers or trench radio for longer distances.
