Courtesy the US Government.

not necessarily US but none the less probably is supplied by, I think its the isreali.

the TOW missiles that the syrian rebels are using were supplied by the US Government. The stupid thing is that the syrian rebels are basically al qaeda, but the US is still giving them guns and TOW missiles nonetheless.

You;re forgetting that the US literally gave guns and ammo to Al Quaeda
User avatar #131 to #129 - savvysauce (12/14/2015) [-]
hats what i just said...
#46 to #28 - anon (12/14/2015) [-]
It's not a laser. It's a phosphorous tracer that is put on the back end of some anti-tank rockets. It allows the operator to optically track and guide the missile. This was probably a TOW that was supplied to Syrian Rebels by the US via Saudi Arabia.

Do the TOV missiles always move so... Slowly?
They look slow, and wibbly.

Gotta love these US TOV missiles

For anyone wondering, the helicopter is obviously an H-6 Little Bird.
The plane that crashed is an F-9 Cougar.
The plane with those wonky stabilizers watching the explosion is a B-57.
I can't identify the tanks.

Thanks

One of the tanks is the merkava, the others i think are all T-72A's
#42 to #12 - domitry (12/14/2015) [-]
i was thinking one of them could have been a challenger 2 but you could be right. I know the one that they jump out of has reactive armor thats how they were able to jump out but other then that to poor of quality to find out.
#54 to #42 - khaaan (12/14/2015) [-]
A challenger 2 is a hard nut to crack, I don't know if it'd be enough.
#56 to #54 - domitry (12/14/2015) [-]
well it looks like a tow missile it seems in the third tank webm and the t72 and challenger 2 front profiles look close to the same.
User avatar #117 to #56 - snohball (12/14/2015) [-]
There's only ever been 2 incidents involving Challenger 2's.

One IED and another friendly fire accident.
User avatar #48 to #6 - colonelroymustang (12/14/2015) [-]
Tank #1: Merkava
Tank #2: M60 of some variety. Probably Turkish.
Tank #3: Very difficult to tell but the profile says T-62 to me.
Tank #4: T-72
Tank #5: T-72 again

Holy **** , this video was hard to watch, the most perfect song was chosen. What is the backstory on this video. I understand its from russian-afghanistan conflict.
#34 to #27 - anon (12/14/2015) [-]
the video is from the 2010 documentary "the trap". You'd need to watch it to know more, really.

Nuclear weapons scare the **** outta me.
User avatar #50 to #24 - thattessachick (12/14/2015) [-]
They're terrifying but I find them the most beautiful weapon ever created.
User avatar #63 to #24 - shenro (12/14/2015) [-]
what makes nuclear weapons and missles even scarier is the fact that if one is launched bcuz of a system malfunction or something, it could start ww3 on accident and that has almost happened a couple of times already.

Jepp. Artbn var kos det. Var riktignok ikke på kanon, men fikk trukket av en gang på slutten av året. KDO, stabsbatteriet. Meget operativ gjeng
#122 to #120 - pernis ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Hehe, litt større kaliber enn det vi dreiv med. 4,6mm MP-7... Og ca 250 skudd fordelt på vel 330 dagar
#124 to #122 - teltjeger (12/14/2015) [-]
Vi fikk 30 skudd hver til CR14. Måtte spare på 5.56 rødplasten til de neste rekruttene
Skjøt nok flere skudd i løpet av en dag med MG3 enn med HK'n i løpet av hele tjenesten.
Vi lå nok ganske langt nede på listen mtp ammo.
#125 to #124 - pernis ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Der har vi det norske forsvaret i eit nøtteskal, får jo så vidt skutt inn sikta Er vel eit syltynt budsjett som har skylda...
#127 to #125 - teltjeger (12/14/2015) [-]
Får håpe at de klarer å bruke det økte budsjettet fornuftig, men jeg har en mistanke om at det kommer til å gå med til f-35. Mens resten går på kvinnevennlige kaserner(som trengs, mtp dusj og do situasjonen en del steder). Så får vi kjøpe inn ammo og nye kjøretøy på overtid.
#128 to #127 - pernis ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Gamle Scaniane skal jo byttast i MAN også fra i år, og med F-35 + fasiliteter til kvinner så blir det vel lite til ammo ja...

These comps are putting some serious doubts in my mind about the effectiveness of tanks.

Pic related.
User avatar #77 to #75 - strooz [OP](12/14/2015) [-]
Most of the tanks that are in these comps are all WWII to Cold War era, T54s - T72s and such. The tech is obsolete but they can still be used. And the pictures you see online of Abrams that are destroyed (because they don't know how to operate them well enough) are mostly from the M1A1s we've sold to middle eastern countries. The Abrams is a little behind in the current tech world for tanks, but it will still **** **** up.
User avatar #83 to #77 - cormy (12/14/2015) [-]
What additional tech are you talking about?
Seems to me the only thing to be done is just... Add more/better plating
I know there are automated anti rocket/missile systems that shoot like a shotgun to detonate them before they reach the tank, is that what you're talking about?
User avatar #94 to #83 - strooz [OP](12/14/2015) [-]
For example the old WWII era tanks only have scopes/ sights to shoot with. The Abrams and most modern tanks have a screen with thermals for sights. They also have a laser that they can send out to determine the distance what they're pointing at. And if you use the laser on a moving target, the computer will automatically calculate lead and trajectory of the round for you. You don't have to lead, or adjust for range, you just aim center mass.
User avatar #96 to #94 - cormy (12/14/2015) [-]
What does that have to do with these tanks getting 1 shot?
I don't think there was any issue with accuracy, it's just that these tanks are getting rekt left right and center in this comp.
User avatar #98 to #96 - strooz [OP](12/14/2015) [-]
Simply because its a 21st century missile hitting a tank from the 1930-40s. The difference in armor isn't that much but it's the material it's made out of that's different. On the abrams they use a classified composite that contains depleted uranium.

Say whatever you want about me, I created an account with the sole purpose of saying that kiowas are amazing (gif 1). We called them every time we were pinned down and those crazy all stars swooped in, with no hesitation, and saved our ass more than I can say,
