All that Russian nationalism, and in the end he runs to Scotland...

As you wish.

Stand still, while I run you over with my T-72 tank.

**Sava** · March 8, 2003, 16:09

I'll melt your puny tank with you inside using my ESP powers.

While you are busy using your ESP powers on the remote-controlled and cheap Soviet surplus tank...

I will casually creep up and break your neck with a commando move!

I like the personal touch!
I was training with those marines, see?

Interesting.

Anyone can compare the marine fighting to Krav Maga training at Basis Adam ?

BTW, that sand berm story isn't true. I can't remember where it was rebutted, but I did read it somewhere.

We're talking several metres of sand here, meaning a huge energy transfer to penetrate the sand. And after that, the round still needs to pack enough punch to kill a tank.
Then there's also the fact that DU rounds break up easily, which is pretty critical because a big part of the round's penetration capability is due to the weird-ass adiabatic shear property it has (this is also why ERA is effective against it).

Also, if you want to know why the Iraqi T-72s waged so badly against the US in the Gulf War, look no further than the Russians. There's supposed to be an inner layer of volcanic rock alloy stuff in the tank's armour, but the Russians left it off the export versions.
Also, the only effective round the Iraqis had was HEAT (which most modern tanks resist extremely well due to ceramic laminated armour), because once again the Russians had sold them crapulous export versions of their AP ammo, without a proper penetrator (shoulda been tungsten carbide, was probably manganese steel).

Not that it would have made a difference in the end, but the contrast may not have been quite as stark as it was.

Also smart mujahediins smoked cigarettes at night so Allah couldn't see and BAM they got excellent targets. No need for laser guides when enemy is stupid enough.

Oh my God.. not just wrong thread but wrong forum! And you thought double postings are great?

**Jaakko** · March 8, 2003, 22:34

So what's the other forum? Something military? Linkety link?
