On reflection, not a very good one. Unaware that this time of the year is of any special relevance to the Artillery, but if I have caused offence it was unintentional - and I apologise. No serious disrespect intended to those of the homosexual persuasion either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The Sirius Patrol (Denmark) Recruitment VideoThese guys are either awesome...or insane. Either way, I wouldn't cross them.Slædepatruljen Sirius (Sirius Sledge Patrol) or informally Siriuspatruljen (Sirius Patrol) is a unique elite Danish navy unit that conducts long-range reconnaissance patrolling, and enforces Danish sovereignty in the arctic wilderness of Northern, and Eastern Greenland, an area that includes the largest national park in the world. Patrolling is usually done in pairs, sometimes for 4 months often without additional human contact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ_Fubar Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 That's an interesting clip, but even better is the sound, the noiseof the shrapnel whizzing about is quite chilling.That clip brings back memories. I have first hand experience sitting under 122mm HE shelling...not pleasant in the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapper_511 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Appears that the T72 turret was facing the direction where the missile was launched and I was wondering why it just sat there. Then I realized that flare can't be seen from the business end. Not that the tank could've dodged the missile to begin with but dang.There's something chilling (as it should be) about these kinds of footage from Syria where tanks are blowing up just seconds before watching them move (proof that they have living, breathing humans in them). A sharp contrast to the stationary vehicles that I've seen blown up over and over on the Military channel.Thanks for sharing the clip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I remember seeing lots of pics from Chechnya.Of burned out T-72/T-80's with ERA covering the area that seemed to have been penetratedBy RPG's.or ATGM's And thinking that ERA must be ineffective.I know the Chechen's had the Latest Russian RPG's and ATGM's. I also read some of the Russian tanks had the plates fitted but the Explosives Were not sandwiched between them. It would be interesting to know what Type Of RPG's/ATGM's the FSA are usingI have read they are getting some series amount of Weapons From Saudi and other Arab states. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapper_511 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Are the orders being given on the side of micro-management or is this typical of mech warfare?I'm glad this one has subtitles, btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankHunter Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The guys in the vid are among the best that the SAA have. They are professional troops, consider them the Syrian equivalent of Iraqi Republican Guards. Hence their use of T-72M1Ms and BMP-2s. This probably also explains why they were chosen for ANNA to have access to them. IIRC these guys were based near the Golan.MarkoI have seen the insurgents with M-16s and other Western gear, along with RPG-29s or M79s. The groups with those are Salafi, which receive backing from the Saudis and other GCC states which are themselves conservative and Sunni. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History shows that the only way a civil war is ever truly resolved is to let the combatants duke it out until there is a clear winner and a clear loser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
