Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Its labeled as "IS T-55 VBIED", does that mean Daesh have graduated to suicide tanks?

I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around no-poo poo tanks being efficient vessels for VBIEDs. When their ammo cooks off, that's a spectacular boom, but it blows the turret and the hatches off, doesn't it? Not sure you could get enough high-quality, non-ghetto explosives into a T-55 to make an explosion go in a direction other than where the shape of the hull dictates it to go...?

There was a video recently where a journalist examined a captured pickup truck VBIED. In that case, they just fill the bed with explosives and cover it with enough armor to keep bullets from hitting the bomb and potentially touching it off early. For a tank, they may just strap on a box full of explosives to the outside and rely on the vehicle's armor to make it invulnerable to anything smaller than a rocket.

Don't think that was a rocket. Probably an AT rifle or some other large caliber projectile.

Yeah, that's a rifle round. Filming from long range with the zoom gets you that weird effect where you can actually see the bullet flying through the air.

Judging from how he popped, I'd guess it was a .50 caliber or higher.

Chechen militants got into a gunfight with police in Grozny after running over a cop and hitting a checkpoint. One of the officers has an interesting way of trying to shoot them:

It's exactly that. Both pilots were in each other's blind spots. No clue on what they were doing on the radio, if they were in controlled airspace or if they were just broadcasting on an open channel where they were or what.....but yeah, they were in each other's blind spots and hosed up royally somewhere along the line in announcing their location over the radio, or a controller hosed up if they were in controlled airspace. Someone correct me on stuff because it's been a while since I sperged out about airplanes.
