What it looks like to have a tank shell coming at you....
« on: April 16, 2013, 08:02:54 PM »
There is no gore in this, just something from syria where the tank shoots almost directly at the guy filming... they slow it down and you can see the shell coming in...

Some fascinating video coming out of this war. Everybody has a camera it seems. You tube has hundreds of combat videos.

RngFndr, the FSA is not Al Qaeda . There are a lot factions on the rebel side probably including AQ and a lot of them are being supported by the west including the US and other Arab countries with money, equipment and weapons.

It's a nasty little war though.

Yup, lots of war crimes going on over there and alot of them are documented.... I support Assad, don't like him, but most of syria was stable for a long time while he was in power... the FSA, especially those groups that are linking up with AQ will never be able to stablize the country, they are all religous schizo's.... Allah awakbr!  This is a war of religous ideals, between two factions of Islam... very sad indeed.

I 50% agree.  Religion is the motivation that drives the war.  The only true ideal ever in any war is control of major resources.

Here you go, enjoy the videos (tons of them, some NSFW, links are marked).

"The Enemy of my Enemy, is my Friend.."
That kind of thinking will have everyone backstabbing each other..
As we all can readily see in the daily news huh?  

How about "Birds of a feather, flock together.."????
See the vid of the FSA "Rebel", roasting a head over a campfire???
Oh yes, he is your friend, right?

Sure he is! I can tell he really cares about preserving
liberty and the American Way of Life.. :lol

Mr FSA gets a suitcase full of CIA money, and I get a hand up my butt..
Things are workin out real well in the new America huh??

(edit) Be careful where you go, some of those links are monitored,
Some WILL get you placed on a watch list, without even knowing it..

Here's some of the most gruesome/interesting/scary ones.

http://www.liveleak.com/ll_embed?f=f213b73d647e Two AH-64s *destroys* a platoon of Taliban. May be graphic, little language, viewed from the FLIR cam.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=VoFRXks2X68#t=75s Syrian tank gets blown up after explosives is thrown down the barrel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5N465a5RWI&feature=plcp Taliban leader gets gunned down, seen from a plane/chopper/drone FLIR camera. May be graphic. Language.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-9L3lT-z3no#! What a rocket strike from a helicopter feels and sounds like on the ground from ~100 ft away. Amazing quality, gets crazy at 1:55. Volume warning. You can see the rockets coming down.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6f7_1347368336 A-10 gun run scores a headshot on Taliban fighters on a motorcycle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wCXqcBpURZE#! Possibly record breaking artillery firing time. Some safety measures were skipped. Volume warning.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_saJJegBxs 25mm Bushmaster cannon vs insurgent. Language warning. May be graphic.

Looks like hi-res aces high.
Fear? You bet your life...but that all leaves you as you reach combat. Then there's a sense of great excitement, a thrill you can't duplicate anywhere...it's actually fun. Yes, I think it is the most exciting fun in the world. — Lt. Col. Robert B. "Westy" Westbrook, USAAF 6/<--lol@mod
