Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I like the handgun, just in case they’re sword proof I guess.

I like how the only two really plausible theories for his assassination are "Killed by rival rebels" and "Killed by the Russians helping them".

I can't get over how there's apparently a Ukrainian neo-nazi group named "Misanthropic Division".

Here's another Abu-Hajaar type video of some Islamic State dude screaming orders like a girl and getting smoked by tanks. With surprisingly few Takbirs.

It looks like it has A2 handguards, so it might have been given to Iraq after the invasion.

Pretty sure I saw A1 handguards on one of them. The older triangular type.

And you're in an unarmored car that doesn't know where it's going and is getting there as slowly as possible.

And your C2 seemed to begin and end with shouting at random passing squads in the vain hope that they decide to do as you say.

Well to be fair I bet all the normal portable radios had long been declared haram on account of cheap direction finding equipment. There are tutorials online on how to track police's Motorola portable radios with sub $250 SDRs including direction of arrival.

Might be a long shot, but do any of you have that pic of a Russian sitting at an apartment window with a grenade launcher on a bipod that was making the rounds when Crimea was happening?



This gizmo. I can see it pretty clearly in my memory but gently caress if I can find an actual picture hosted anywhere.

Wait, thermobaric rounds for a grenade launcher? Huh. I wonder why I haven't seen video of US SWAT teams using them on a black jaywalker yet.

It is brutal as poo poo.

Also think about the protests. All of those massive protests were organized via telephone, newspaper ads, and word of mouth. If we had that level of protests now our current leadership would go full gestapo.

Something interesting I saw while looking up burials at sea.

Some poor TBM Avenger gunner got mulched by flak, and when the TBM got back to the carrier his body was too gibbed to get out of the gunners seat. So the crew held a service and hucked him over the side with the plane. o7

Tanks still suck but you don't gotta hand it to the Axis either.
That is why british tank refurbish teams in ww1 had spatulas. Just a matter of tools.

I tried to find that bit in Fury where the replacement has to hose the dead dudes face off his chair or whatever, but :shrug:


e] I did find this kinda cool interview with an actual Sherman crewman talking about seeing Fury though

https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2014/oct/24/fury-movie-tank-veteran-sherman-verdict-realistic

quote:

Fury shows just how vulnerable you were fighting in a Sherman tank. There is a lot of blood and gore in the film but nothing can really come close to the true horrors of tank warfare. I saw people being blown up and burnt alive. Going to see Fury you don’t get that dreadful, nauseating smell of burnt flesh. That will stay with me forever.

:stare: Tanks for your service
