Libya lost the Toyota War against Chad. And Egypt has hasn't won wars since it was ruled by the Albanian Muhammad Ali Pasha.

That explains how they got anywhere in that rebellion. Okay, serious question, what was the last time a native Arab leader waged a big successful war? Because it looks like they've been choking since they fought Charlemagne.

Hell the population Iran didn't recover from when the Khwarezmid's got trounced until the 20th loving century. Remember kids don't talk poo poo to people with the last name of Khan

Bolow posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umayyad_conquest_of_Hispania Yeah, that was what Charlemagne tried to stop. But that makes sense- "Genghis Khan" is the shortest valid answer to a lot of historical questions. Also Khan's a title, not a last name.  /

I don't know about the Saudis, but I heard the Abrams sold to the Iraqis were just 80's vintage tanks that had been refurbed.

GyverMac posted:Some of those vehicles didnt even look damaged, I guess they just jumped out and hosed off at the first sign of trouble. From what I've heard about the fighting with ISIS, that's literally exactly what happens. Iraqi Abrams crews take minor damage but get so scared that they're about to explode that they just bail and run.

Duke Chin posted:totally expected that thing to sink. Considering how often US AAVs sink, yeah I wasn't even sure their AAVs could drive. Although seeing a Thai AAV drive by with a roadwheel flying off and the crew chief on top in a lawn chair was pretty boss. SE Asian AAV crews truly give less of a gently caress than US AAV crews, and that's saying something.

Is the Fencer like the Mig-23 where it only has a manual control for the swings, making it super loving dangerous to fly?
