agusto Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 That was an exception. In most cases though i bet the T-72 is going to win the duell vs. the 12,7mm armed Stryker. If had to kill a T-72 and the option to choose between all weapons available in CMSF, the 12,7mm would probably be the last weapon capable of damaging a tank that i would choose.

Schmoly War Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Again, some very impressive footage from anna. BMP drops off infantry straight into building, civilian vehicles pass by a Thunder Run esque convoy, a commander (?) yells continuous corrections from the camera observation point (this is how I envision commanding in a war situation like this would actually be conducted, realistically wise). A shoulder launched recoilless cannon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcFAzJLFsso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vark Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Obviously it was taken out by an ALLAHU Akbar seeking missile! From the elevation of the main gun it was firing at something quite a long way away, just shows how firing from the same point is pretty dumb.

ZPB II Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 This stuff never ceases to amaze...Feels extremely macabre and fascinating to watch a war unfold in HD. Seeing the same firefight from both sides views (the interviewed commander's T-72 hit by the RPG-29) is quite rare. Not to mention the human impact, seeing that sympathetic seeming guy in three interviews you've watched suddenly turn into charred shreds of flesh falling from the sky... I wonder how many rebels have left this plane of existence because a soldier threw a grenade over a wall guided by the chanting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 U sure the tanks is KIA in that clip? Could be just reactive armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoly War Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Continuation from the last ANNA clip and the FSA is still fighting back at the tank column on the road!! One tank is hit and some guy runs out to try and capture him! Heavy fighting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxwnfH4FWNs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Horribly compelling, like a TV show... Am impressed with the balls of the camera crew who are filming with their cameras out for lengthy periods. Surprised they don't get targeted accidentally or deliberately by one side of the other. And talk about looking a bit like Stalingrad must have. I dunno how anything is hit or accomplished. You can't see anybody. Love the civilian vehicles passing by. I guess after a year or more, it's just "business as usual." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPB II Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I was talking about the T-72 in the "Men vs. Tanks Daraya" video. The one that eats a RPG-29 and blows up in a gigantic fireball. The commander of that tank had been interviewed several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well, that is what war is like, ZPBII. Im glad that Europe is a rather peaceful place today, at least when compared against its very violent past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPB II Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yes, war is an ugly hell. But still, I have never ever watched a scenario like this unfold...You get to know this guy during the course of several interviews and then you see him get blown up, captured on video both by his own side and by the enemy. Boggles the mind. Seeing a video of the same firefight from both sides view is very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmoly War Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 SAM (not MANPADs) in use against SAA? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__4ILleiIyM Can anyone verify if this is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Interesting. The behaviour of the crew of that SAM system (chanting "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar wal Izzatulillah!") makes it appear to be authentic FSA footage to me. Here os another vid of the FSA downing a jet (pilot ejects and parachutes to the ground): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 SAM (not MANPADs) in use against SAA? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__4ILleiIyM Can anyone verify if this is true? I think the missile system in use is a 9K33 Osa. The interior kinda looks like it was (compare the right side of the below image to what you see in the first seconds of the video, especially the way the buttons on the panel below the display are aligned): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9K33_Osa According to Wikipedia Syria had 60 of those things before the war started, so it may be possible the FSA captured one of them and is now using it against SAF air craft.

black_prince Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think the footage is of the interior of a captured 9k33 but I'm not sure about the claim to have shot down a helicopter, the target on the monitor is not very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If you look closely at the screen (i think it is an IR display), i think you can see flares beeing popped by the target, wich would imply 1) that the target was some type of military aircraft and 2) the target was equipped with some type of radar/missile warning system (the Osas are guided by the ground stations radar system, IIRC, so unlike passive IR guided missiles, the target would be able to know it has been aquired before the missile hits ).

agusto Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Holy ****ing ****! That is probably the largest explosion i ve ever seen to happen during this war: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fff_1375361358 The mushroom cloud looks almost like from a nuclear weapon :eek: Although i am an atheist i would probably pray to Allah, Jesus and Chuck Norris if i ever see something like that happen in my city. EDIT: Estimated distance between camera and ground zero is 3300 meters (time = ~10 secs, speed of sound = ~ 330 m/s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vark Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thought 9K33's had back up manual guidance, via LLTV, in cases of strong ECM environments?
