    Incredible Footage

    Sure they could, but honestly, here you see the grenade lobber running back in front of the tank like he is in for a second scene "TAKE TWO!".

    Ive seen a few other fake videos as well making it look like they are assaulting a compund while it is pretty damned obvious it was captured or abandonded way earlier.

    Its a propaganda war too. I dont expect everyone to be good at it.

    If they sell those StG-44s (who knew so many existed and looked so good?) to collectors, the FSAA coffers will overflow. The combat evac of the franged tank was pretty special (did you see the legs of the guy who got out and hooked up the damaged one?), while at the time illustrating the limitations of the POS (the wargamer) tank fist! Sending armor into such incredibly constrained terrain is fundamentally insane. I don't understand why, with all the footage we have of Syrian T-72s in MOUT, not a single one seems to employ the remote controlled 12.7mm NSVT on the roof?

    In the second interview with the T72M1 driver he said that they could not be operated from the inside, so they decided to take them off.

    Last Grozny assault -

    The Russian army in the last assault had used a trick, Russian headquarters inculcate misinformation about massive assault, and terrorists have put forward a major force in the line of fire, after that Russian army opened heavy artillery fire and terrorist lost 50% of they strength. I want to know how Assad's army use artillery.

    Is there a translation of that clip you posted? Id be very interested in having one.

    That's bad tactics, like in 1st sturm of Grozny when armor came into the center of city and stay, all vehicles was burned.

    The correspondent say that tanks cover infantry from sniper fire, I think it was a bad idea, better 1 or 2 killed infantry man than 1 burned tank.

    Sure.

    Reality dictates tactics, no? It could very well be that dismounts are in short supply and refuse to operate as they should due to snipers. How would you enforce discipline where the situation is as desperate as this?

    Its not Grozny either. The tank crews probably know the city layout and seem to work trough the same areas day after day so they should have some reasonable intelligence regarding the fluid frontlines.

    Im not leaving out the fact that like Grozny, it could be the hubris and arrogance of the top brass regarding their own understanding of the war, the men and their equipment.

    But it could also be that they are in fact more successfull using tanks raids than they are with infantry raids.

    Its a desperate situation and the commanders are probably instructed and encouraged to take aggressive manouvers to create pockets to trap insurgents, and they need to do this fast, requiring the mobility of AFVs.

    Im not sure how much different I would have planned this, given the circumstances.
