awch


A brand new BTR-T takes on the first trails. These are one of the 2 new vehicles to be used in Urban warfare

BTR-T will be a heavy APC
BMPT will be a dedicated anti-personell combat vehicle

I think this thread just might contain every single Abrams every destroyed or mobility-killed in combat, from several different angles.

When has a green-camo-ed Abrams ever been lost in combat?

During the initial invasion of Iraq, not all of our equipment had been repainted in desert tan. In addition to that, ALL our chemical suits were woodland camo.

Quite the opposite, Siben. Chemical suits were, are, and always will be hated by soldiers for a number of reasons. They are made of air-tight material, so they have no ventilation, a terrible feature to have in the hot Mesopotamian sands. On top of that, they were the wrong camo and extremely bulky.

Plus they are rough and prickly on the inside, so freeballing it isn't a real option for dealing with the heat.
