Even on a low-pressure weapon like an SPG-9 (assuming that's what it is), having some sand in your gun barrel is A-Very-Bad-Thing. It can lead to catastrophic damage of the weapon or it's operators. hence, the ersatz muzzle cover made with underwear.

Charliegrs posted:Something I was curious about today: Raqqa still has internet access right? I remember seeing that undercover video of ISIS controlled Raqqa and it showed people visiting internet cafes and talking to relatives abroad. I'm guessing before the civil war Raqqa probably got its internet through one of Syrias state run ISPs. If that is the case, are they still running the internet connections to Raqqa? And why would they do that if an enemy force was running the area? Leaving open communications so they can be monitored/used by spies?

Jagchosis posted:So in Libya on Friday a man who was believed to be the leader of the largest refugee smuggling operation in Libya was assassinated along with 8 of his body guards. This coincided with Italy's announcement of "tactical operations" in response to the Mediterranean refugee crisis and now some members of the Tripoli government are stating that they believe that Italian special forces killed him, though imo it's probably more likely that a rival criminal group killed him. Well knowing the Italians they quite possibly subcontracted the job out to the rival criminal gang.

I'm surprised they didn't get a decent laptop, a copy of DCS: MiG-21 and turn that sucker into a piloted cruise missile. Also, why the hell would you be using an improv MLRS like that when you have BM-21 and TOS-1M?

I remember having this exact same thought when Libya was kicking off and I was watching videos from it. poo poo looked like it was from one of my Arma 2 sessions. I wonder though if it's just simply how modern militia combat looks like, real or virtual. A bunch of random dudes with little training, a vague idea of what they should do and wildly misapplying it. And I guess these guys feel like there is no "game over" screen either

Back Hack posted:Probably not since the T-90 isn't nearly as complex or strong as the Russian love to hype; it isn't hard to gleam how the tank is put together and what it's capable of doing seeing as it's a modernization of a pre-existing tank chassis, a modernization mind you that is actually just a copy of the T-80UD, a tank we've already acquired. No, it's a continuation of the T-72BU. While it might have technologies taken from the T-80UD, the main brains behind that machine is in Kharkov, Ukraine. As to westerners wsnting to have a look, it's unlikely to have any new information in it. The NERA plates and other defenses would be of types already known.

Well we can't accuse him of just being a troll as he clearly believes this stuff. Which makes it worthwhile to read his posts. You don't have to agree with him but is useful to know what one part of the other side is thinking. His narrative about how Russia will play extra dimensional chess and then be in a position of strength vs the USA is instructive as to how the Russian patriot sees themselves in the world. Like, it's not going to happen ever for simple economic reasons but hey, they want to be able to go "No, gently caress you!" to uncle Sam and will want to take actions towards this goal.

It loving sucks, but at least the people of Manbij are free of ISIS. Also what was the Kurds supposed to have done in the mean time? Attack is the best form of defense as this war has been showing. Though I do wonder who these guys Turkey are backing are. It'll be some seriously poo poo if all those women burning thier buqas get a new issue of them from the new guys.Also, I wonder if that people's council they set up would be able to keep going.

I remember reading some CnC fanfic that applied such an idea. The future is now, and disquieting. Looking at some of these videos they're not even 100m above thier tagets, yet the drone is completely unnoticed. I have a vague feeling that a new part of drill will soon be "look up drat you!" for recruits.

Fragrag posted:When you run out of a BMP completely exposed to gunfire and pretty precise mortar fire with no cover, I think you're going to eat dirt immediately, that is if you don't get shot or run over by your own BMP. You misunderstand, nothing to do with posture, but when they are looking for threats. Until now you could just look around horizontally at stufff on the ground. Anything that was in the air would either be real obvious or too high to do anything about as a grunt anyway so why bother. But now there is a samm, quiet threat that you can see... if you bother to look up.
