rudatron posted:what is it with technicals the machine gun isn't the only thing the technicals have going for them, they're also a cheap way to motorize infantry. the weapons mounted on them aren't portable enough to carry around on foot if you aren't sylvester stallone, so mobile forces put them to use on trucks.

technicals can also be used to bring radar and other intelligence equipment to the front lines

pickup trucks also have enough bedspace to mound even heavier weapons than purpose-built infantry vehicles like the humvee can. An anti-aircraft gun with 20 or 40mm rounds is like being able to fire high velocity grenades that can penetrate mud walls from a kilometer away.

A humvee would look pretty silly with ZSU on top, I would think. A humvee is also more expensive and harder to get than a pickup truck. Toyota pickups are also just about the most reliable vehicle available.

If your mounting an anti-infantry gun on the technical, the expectation is that you'll be using it on enemy emplacements, and therefore close enough to encounter return fire. Having no armor means its worthless for that role, because any returning fire will disable/destroy it. using it to transport is obvs. fine, but its not a replacement for a proper mech-infantry vehicle. Its dumb.

Toyota pickups are also just about the most reliable vehicle available. Humvees can be modified to carry lighter AA guns in the back, but you have to take off all the paneling and expose the crew anyway, so it's no different functionally from putting an AA gun on a pickup trick. rudatron posted:If your mounting an anti-infantry gun on the technical, the expectation is that you'll be using it on enemy emplacements, and therefore close enough to encounter return fire. Having no armor means its worthless for that role, because any returning fire will disable/destroy it. AA guns are anti-infantry guns, and you can burst fire with decent accuracy from kilometers away. Small arms just don't have that kind of reach. The ZSU-23 can be mounted in the back of a pickup truck and has an effective range of 2 miles. At that distance, the only real threat is from very accurate anti-materiel rifles, or ATGMs. The kind of armor on a humvee meant to block bullets won't protect you from a missile anyway. And if you're behind cover with only the weapon exposed it's nearly impossible to hit at long range. It's the most cost effective solution for mechanizing a militia.

HorrificExistence posted:they only hate syrian and turkish. Iraqi kurds are puppets on the americans and trained by the turks. Turkey wasn't very keen on the KRG's independence referendum, what with closing down their borders and all. And they threatened to blow up weapons shipments to the Peshmerga at the beginning or Iraq War Part II. The political heads of the KDP are the only ones that have chummy capitalist relationship with Turkey. Turkish secret service agents have a habit of getting arrested and deported when they go to the PUK controlled part of Eastern Iraqi Kurdistan.

Okay, time for some non ironic posting. How long before Assad finishes FSA in the North and moves onto Golan? Will Israel start getting more agressive if that happens?

ISIS could recruit fatties because they never have to get outside of a Toyota Hilux, so I doubt we'll have any problems.
