As far a i know, they use realy standart ammo for tank rounds, just what ever the russian would like to sell them, it would probably be huge amounts of out dated tank shells.
As for the bore fired AT missile i know for sure that they have a T-55 Volna tank which is capble of firing an AT-10 missile.
The AT-10 is a laser riding missile which is fired up to 3000 m'.
The tank itself has a laser device which is both range finding and beam for the missile.

The Syrians also have 10-11 independent regiments in the Golan Heights </font>Originally posted by rudel.dietrich:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by fytinghellfish:

Well, i know that the more advanced ATGM such as the AT-14 Kornet are expected to be found only with the special syrian commandos.
These forces are some sort of suicide froces, they are usually deployed as airborne (MI-8) or ground, they will tend to ambush the rear forces with their ATGM's, probobly try to hit strategic vehicles.
Once they finished their job (and ammo) they simply stay behind enemy lines until they are killed or captured.
I dont know how useful these tactics will be against small forces such as in CMSF, they will probobly use the same ambush tactics, but without the being killed stuff, becasue they will use ammo storages within the villeges they will fight from, just like the Hizballah did in South Lebanon.

It looks to me like an M-68 105 mm NATO gun.Originally posted by Uberpickle:My main question is: what variant is that? That beast gun on the Strkyer looks, well, god how do I put it: UNFAIR.
I feel sorry for the poor guys who have to run for that thing. Hey, maybe the red cross can get them some gatorade and some new balances?
It's the very same gun like the older Merkava's has.

That's not accurate, you see through smoke only if it's in the same temp' as the surroundings, if the smoke is very hot, you'll just see black/white smoke screen on your thermal sights.Originally posted by Battlefront.com:Yes, thermals can see through smoke

This works kinda same with fog, it's usually cold and full of water, so, if the fog is thick enough it will be like looking into a pool of water.

Israel isn't using Strykers if thats what you mean. They did evaluate them, however. They still use M113s and tank based APCs. </font>Originally posted by fytinghellfish:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by LongLeftFlank:
Oof! So the IDF is moving away from infantry carriers based on fully armored MBT chassis back to pimped out purple heart boxes?
That's a TERRIBLE mistake IMHO.

I dont know, i dont see any reason why not to put a Stryker on a street corner and use it as supressing element for my advancing infantry.
Ofcours not with the advancing forces, but still, not just as a bus/truck utility.

They might be more expensive, but they'll keep you alive longer.
I see the Stryker as a light vehicle for urban use only, i really cannot see the stryker taking part in large scale offensive.
In Iraq i guess the Stryker gets hit mostly by the RPG-29 or RPG-7, while in a Syrian war they will have to deal with advenced ATGM's, that will totally destroy Strykers.
The qusetion is, does the US army has anything better then the Stryker?

If i'm not mistaking, Kaferov is some kind of a mix between Arabic and Russian.Originally posted by Homo ferricus:lemme see if i can translate this, okay, the part that shows the bearded guy says "Amir Haiyroolya (thats how it sounds, probably spelled wrong) - June 29th, 2006 - destroyed 2 BMPs and 12 Kaferov(not sure what the last word means, sorry, lil rusty on my Russian).
It might mean "Infidels", Because in Arabic Kufar mean infidels.
BTW, anyone has any clue why all these terrorists video are shot in such low quality and talent? how hard is it to hold a camera straight? It's not like the guy with the camera is taking an active part in the ambush.

I think that you are all forgeting one little thing, modern MBT's such as the M1A1/2 can make a first round hit at a tank size target from up to 4500 m', while Soviet MBT's, from T-72 and down, can make a fist round hit at a tank size target from up to 2500 m'.
So here you have a major advantage for US armor forces, so i dont think that the Syrian army will be too keen to engage with US tanks.
I believe that they will relay heavily on ATGM's such as the Kornet E, Milan, Metis and even the aging Sagger.

Yes, i am a new resevist, but did you know that the regular Tanker gets now the short M-16?
It's so wired to see tanker go with M-16's.
I dont think we'll ever get the Tavor, it's like when i was in the amry they commander always told us thea "soon" we will get the Galil MAR...

No, sorry, i'm in reserves now, so i guess i'll get Galil for the rest of my life.

The Galil is a 5.56.Originally posted by cassh:The Galil was a/is great weapon as it is pretty much a 7.62mm Nato AKM/AK-47 but I think it was a tad heavy which given the number of female IDF soldiers was an issue for unrested standing, kneeling and sitting shoots - hence the lighter M-16 was adopted.
IDF cite M-16 shortcomings as stoppages / reliability and weapon length in MOUT.
During my military service i had a Galil SAR, which is a very very good weapon, before you jump into the tank you throw the Galil first and than you jump in, the Galil is so tough that it actually can band stuff in the tank.
Despit it's heavyness, i really like the Galil, it's far more useful than the M-16, during my 3 years service i had only 1 jam.
There a popular story among IDF tankers about a loader who forgot it's Galil on a turret of a tank in an outpost on the Hermon mountain in a very snowy day, after he dug the Galil out he went to the shooting range and simlpy fired the Galil.

I belive that they will do what Hizballah did in S. Lebanon.Originally posted by rudel.dietrich:For Syrian unites without radios, will they be able to use runners? Or will they be unable to make support requests?
They will relay heavily on cellular networks, up until the point the US forces will figure it out and bomb the cellular antennas.
Hey....maybe you guys will model that?

Interesting Tactical Locations - Syria

Just look at the Syrian side of the border with the Golan, you'll see tall mounts, they are called "Pittas", find one "Pitta" and look at it, see how many dugged AT positions are in there, also there are many AT trenchs.
