Given the timing and the fact the gun is aiming at the sky the gun firing is basically guaranteed to be the round in the barrel getting set off by the grenade.

first off if the tank ain't manned the guys are going to go steal it

second off it's not aimed at the sky it's slightly elevated much like you might do if shooting at a ridge/some buildings/something a bit far away

third of all it's actually hard as gently caress to see poo poo from a buttoned up tank

Doesn't mean poo poo in Denmark (assuming that's where this happened) but if you were to pull that on a base that was launching combat ops then you just cost someone their air cover for the day.

If she pulled it on a base that was launching combat ops, she'd have probably been shot before she got near the plane.

Except all we know is that she hit a jet with a hammer a few times, apparently without getting caught. What happened next was the maintainers finding a big dent in the side of a panel on an otherwise undamaged, sighing to themselves, and replacing it without ever knowing it was some woman trying to make a point about world peace and poo poo. For all anyone except her and her friends knew, the Danish version of PFc Fuckknuckles backed a vehicle into it and drove off without reporting it to avoid getting in trouble.

Probably better because sinking it just fucks up one boat, but letting it drift will likely gently caress up more than that.

Depends how far out they're launching the op from. Shannon Airport has constant problems with people getting past security to mildly irritate US military flights landing there to refuel.

ETA: the other consideration is that if you can make it obvious that you got past security at all then they kind of have to assume you managed to do something serious and do a full check of everything that might cause the planes to fall out of the sky.

He's my favorite personality from that era, and its also interesting to see how fast public opinion in America turned against him. I wish he was more well known in America other than "bandido who attacked us that one time"

My grandpa in Mexico City also calls him the Centaur of the North, and when I was a kid I thought this meant he was literally a gun wielding centaur. Words can not describe my disappointment when I found out the truth.
