Dunno Pongo... I think you're reading a bit much into it. I didn't see anything suggesting this was a new tactic. This does highlight the fundamental flaw with any plan that involves so many variables... including the human one... being implimented in close proximity to civilians. I guess the options are to do nothing and wait (not enough troups to cover everywhere) or go isreali on their asses.

Aggreed. Also the scale of the operation dictates that so many different battalion comanders will execute in many different ways.

H&I is a valid tactic. In a built up area it does have issues. WAR sucks, people die.

Chechnya has been intermittently at war with Russia for centuries, with the most recent conflicts taking place from 1994 to 1996 and 1999 to the present. It is now a nation of warlords and anarchy. In the last nine years, between 180,000 and 250,000 Chechens have been killed and 350,000 have been displaced, out of a population of just 1.1 million. That means that roughly half of the population has been killed or displaced by fighting. Compare that to Kosovo, where 0.6 percent of Kosovars were killed, and you get a sense of the nightmarish brutality of the conflict.

Another terrorist supporter here

You are welcome

Don't they tell you that 180-250 thousand were mostly Russians who had to leave Chechnya due to terror, rapes and murders by "freedom fighters"?

Come on, choose your side.

0.6 percent of Kosovars is a number of Serbs killed by terrorists BEFORE the province was turned into a terrorist shelter by NATO forces. Now the number of Serbian casualities is multiplied several times.

Again: a person who served two years behind the river in 85087 said such things were impossible there.

I still hope it is a joke.

Apparently patrols in Baghdad have been cut by 2/3s.

Good Spacing, but bullets will hug the walls, safest route is closer to the center of the alley.

Man, I guess I didn't see people take longer shots then 1000 meters with no difficulty.

The max effective range of the M40A1 in 800meters.
Thats not so say that you cant shoot further than that but it would not be wise to do so.

It Is possible to be accurate at 1.000 meters with that SWS in competition but not under combat conditions.

Indeed you can take shots out to 1.200 meters but It don't mean you will hit anything but dirt LOL.

Is that because of shallow ricochets keeping close to the walls?

I view the situatiuon in Iraq now as equivilent to the ambitious crimintals in any city except these guys have big bombs and powerfull weapons compared to your average criminal. They also have alot more experience then your average criminal at killing and decieving people.
