A riveting story where the ~hunters become the hunted~

Actually a couple carloads of wannabe ambushers rush two Georgian MRAPs and a Benny Hill-esque scene quickly develops.

The Georgians seemed to have stopped firing awfully quickly.



This is a Polish tank. I feel like there is probably a cheap joke in there, but I'm too tired to make it.

This one is a lot better. Their genius plan: roll up on some bunkers in the middle of the desert with no concealment in some Toyotas and get owned

Nah, I was in country when this video came out. It was a big deal and made the rounds on SIPR before hitting the regular networks. I vaguely remember the nearest city started with a 'D'. Dulab, I think.

Yeah, N17R4M just said so- U-571. Or, more specifically, the replica U-boat built for U-571. It doesn't look exactly like it did for U-571, though. Was it modified for other films since then?

I think the consensus is they never really did. Sea trials were done on the Coral Sea IIRC and it was pretty squirrelly

As was the F-14, by accounts. Unsurprising, given it's the same weight and powerplant.

About half of Chinese military press photos are blatantly knocking off something they saw Americans doing that looked badass so I'm assuming 1st Cav does dumb poo poo like this

Also they train for Red Dawn

Would be interesting to see how the Chinese military performs in it's next conflict considering what happened to them last time they tried to invade one of their neighbors.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

They could've at least ditched the desert camo for some period costumes.

The Chinese military has always loved ridiculous horseback shenanigans.
Here's them riding into the mushroom cloud of a nuclear bomb test.
EDIT: Goddamit^^ that is a really specific thing to get beaten on.

Being opfor owns. Well, most of the time. I was opfor for 3rd batt when I was in rip holdover during the middle of summer. They had us wear body armor and a helmet, and on top of that they had me wearing a green army blanket like a burka so I could play a woman. I was sweating my balls off in the Georgia heat. But then the retards left me in a room with a gun still on my 'dead husband' and I went and took revenge.

Yeah never mind, opfor still owns, even when you lay around for an hour after getting shot.
