I saw a video a few months ago of one of those homemade guns. There was a little dunk on camera as the shell crashed through the wall of the building. Wait a few seconds, and then the whole top half of the building explodes and/or falls off.

Edit: I wasn't going to, but I watched the entire video and all of you should do the same. The whole thing is just literally the most insane combat ever put into 1080p. At 3:18 you see the magic of someone trying to blindfire a PKM over the top of a wall.

I watched it last night - that ladder with blood all over it. Guessing it was not fun to be first up that. Tons of one-handed blind fire by people on the ladder as well.

One guy was shooting his AKMS while he climbed. Not even looking at where his gun was pointed, just squeezing the trigger while climbing up.

Best was the guy trying to blindfire the PKM and then shaking his head after he picks the gun up. And then trying to one-hand it on the ladder.

I like how they seem to actually communicate instead of begging god for a handout during a magdump or rocket launch.

Most Kurds while "followers of Islam", just say they are while the practice a much older religion called Yazidism which is rooted in the even older Zoroastrianism that the Bible and the Quran cribbed a lot of poo poo from. They just claim to be Islamic or Christian to keep from getting killed by whomever happens to be in charge at the time, but in reality they just pay lip service to them while still very much following the tenants of Yazidism/Zoroastrianism in every day affairs.

Looks like they already account for that, with the towers being in the middle of nothing and all. It's probably 100x worse these days, plenty of fresh bodies to add. :smith:

Here's something I had only ever associated with old movies about the invasion of Normandy:


quote:

Emergency workers inspect a damaged bridge near Kuznetsovka village in Zaporizhzhya region of Ukraine on January 21. An overnight blast destroyed a railway bridge in the eastern Ukrainian region of Zaporozhye, cutting a railway link between the city of Mariupol and Ukraine's west. Ukraine's state security service said suspects had been identified in relation to the blast, and were currently being searched for. The east of Ukraine has suffered a surge in violence in recent days. There is a growing sense of foreboding as fighting between Ukrainian government forces and separatists intensifies, complicating peace efforts involving Ukraine and Russia.

Some of that old-school French resistance type state-sponsored insurrection.

Someone should really classify sensitive information like this:

It's got to be brutal. I read that in southern India, they used to have such a carrion bird population that bodies wouldn't last a day. These days, various poisons have killed off most of them so bodies can take a while

There's no point in trying to hide that kind of information in this day and age. Anybody who wants to make a mess can just poke around one of the numerous publications a la Anarchist's Cookbook or any of the Army's own pubs. Hell, there are even private companies that reprint older manuals like ST 3-20.983 that have all that poo poo in them.

Cool video, though.

I was just reading the wiki for diclofenac (aspirin analogue) the other day and came across the Towers of Silence in that article. Apparently it was overadministration of antiinflammatories to livestock that lead to the toxic buildup in the vulture population. You couldnt invent this stuff.

I was joking, because for whatever reason I find it novel that tactics and strategies from any given conflict will usually end up being relevant in another down the line. Plus it made me think of that video, which I originally saw somewhere on here, I think, and I wanted to post it again.
