Interesting to see SF use high port in some of those room entry and range photos that's usually a staple of NSW.

marleynrs8Interesting to see SF use high port in some of those room entry and range photos that's usually a staple of NSW.

When running it's actually a lot easier. As far as room clearing they probably saw too many photos of NSW doing it and figured it was cool. It's also interesting they are doing it in a training environment. We specifically never went guns up including on reloads because of people up in the catwalks say like that photographer.

As far as reloads we do weapons up and in "the work space" so we can keep eyes on what is happening in front of us. Yea usually one would take cover or attempt to while reloading but having your head up (even behind cover) is a generally a good thing I don't want to be looking down potentially bumble ****ing my mag change because of the stress and fatigue of combat and then looking up to find something unexpected in front of me (potentially). Also makes reloading A LOT smoother and faster. As far as "people above us" never really had to worry about that because with good fundamentals and training you shouldn't have your finger on the trigger let alone in the trigger well while reloading not to mention flipping the weapon back on safe via muscle memory. Of course its big boy rules and that is what SOF plays by. As far as transitioning or moving in MOUT environments with "guns up" as well call it the alt. high ready it's really up to the shooter you train that way and only that way you will become very efficient at it. In CQB its METT-TC **** never goes as planned in the urban jungle.

Thanks for that insight stud

Found something historic but so epic ...

I'm pretty sure if you go flagging people regardless of trigger discipline I wouldn't be cool with it. There's not a single SOF unit out there that hasn't had a few ADs in it's history. I always considered 'high-ready' something else because you still had the buttstock in your shoulder. You in CIF or SF?

Soldiers with the 5th Battalion 19th Special Forces Group conduct a pursue and capture mission as part of a demonstration during the Texas Military Forces Open House in Camp Mabry Austin Texas April 21 2012. During the demonstrations soldiers slid down a rope hanging from a helicopter and capture the high value target in less than 15 minutes.

I wonder what the story is with only one dude having the new Ops-Core helmets.

BrianTI wonder what the story is with only one dude having the new Ops-Core helmets.

Are you allowed to use your own kit? If so he could have bought it.

Token White GuyAre you allowed to use your own kit? If so he could have bought it.

I never saw anybody do it pertaining to helmets but USASOC did supposedly sign off on them. Expensive purchase and I heard the guys were suppose to be getting them anyways.

RedoxI once saw a documentary on TV about Brazils war on drug gangs. It was kind of unreal. There was a raid into some favela. They entered under the cover of darkness shot a few guys (using G3s btw) and then retreated. Apparently they thought it was a good day because they had only one casualty. It looked just like some military operation in Afghanistan or whatever.

Osobeast

Post some pictures and quit talking

This is THE best thread in this website and Osobeast is destroying it. Thanks for nothing!

Osobeast is right about TU-160. Its not stealth aircraft at all. Tupolev publish general reports about its activity every year and there aren't signs of stealth deployment. Plasma stealth and other cool features nobody see it in action. Same about american stealth technology its not powerfull invincible spell from rpg.

AlefBut little advancements possible like absorbing matherials and other small features which decrease reflection surface.

Lets back to pics... One again sorry for talking in this great thread

With all this chat I don't know were posted these photos or not?

AlexMartinWith all this chat I don't know were posted these photos or not?

What are they and what is the origin of the photos AlexMartin????

Regarding the Tu-160.

On another forum I have seen a photo of a Tu-160 with RAM coating on the intakes. I wish I had saved that photo.

TheArmenianNo they were never posted. This is the first time I see this MLRS. Is it a new version of the SMERCH (rockets look a bit smaller tough) ??????

Is it smerch? Interesting...

Судно имеет водоизмещением около 5 тысяч тонн способно развивать скорость до 15 узлов. Помимо основных функций оно также может использоваться для освоения шельфов и проведения подводно-технических работ. "Игорь Белоусов" как сообщалось ранее также должен получить современное вооружение.

Any pics of the ship avaliable yet? I did a basic search and could not find anything.

I heard of a new perpective MLRS system reffered to as "Tornado" but I have never seen any pics. One of the systems features was ability to fire different caliber rockets.

Yes I have heard of the Tornado as well. I believe I have seen computer rendered mockup etc... pictures of it before. Or perhaps even a pic of the real thing I don't remember. In all of those it looks very similar albeit perhaps with a longer chasis but with only one larger central launch rack rather than two.

easyand2for the same reason french SF don't carry french rifles or UK SF don't carry british rifles....

Yes It could be argued the SA-80 and FAMAS lack the modularity of platforms such as the AR family but As I asked a few pages back What has come of the ARX-160 Italian SF had deployed with? Was it just operational testing or is it still under development? It seemed to have some promise

Can't say i know if the likes of the SAS and SBS etc have ever gone in to an operation using the L85 though it certainly isn't out of the question.

~UNiOnJaCk~Can't say i know if the likes of the SAS and SBS etc have ever gone in to an operation using the L85 though it certainly isn't out of the question.

It is sure anyway that Uk special forces as much as italian ones usually employ some sort of AR15/ HK416

P.S. the development of special forces version of the arx160 is going on.

SootanHmm somebody CMIIW why don't Italian SF carry Italian assault rifles?

Lack of modularity that the AR-15 platform offers. Some claim they'll eventually adopt the ARX-160.

~UNiOnJaCk~

Italian SOF have definitely gone into operation using Italian assault rifles as visible in several old pics - it would have been a few years back though before procuring newer assault rifles. Hard to say whether they still do or don't as they are not photographed every single day.

Some guys are just lanky. Doesn't mean they can't handle it or arn't strong enough.

These are some pics from my rotation Mar 05 thru May 06. The pics of the vehicles I took while the ones of the IA in action were taken by an imbedded reporter from our local paper.

It took a little getting used to looking thru my sight and seeing a soviet style vehicle. Growing up on films like Red Dawn and Rambo and countless Bradley Gunnery tables planted a desire to shoot anything that fit the description. There were some Mi 24s around for a little while I think Ukrainian. Im scannin my sector then all of a sudden a Hind apears in my retical. "Gunner-Missle-Chopper!"

Thanks for the great pictures. While you were there what was your opinion of the IA? Are they making steady improvements as the pictures would suggest?

Great addition to the thread SgtMajorBuzz thanks!

These dudes r really pullin it together!

Might be a dumb question but are all these Aircraft flown by Iraqi pilots? Or do coalition pilots fly them. If so does anyone know what the time frame is to cross-train the existing pilots into the new aircraft?

Not a MiG-29A but SE. I read that Sudan proved 3 combat aircraft to the mission I wonder why the MiG and not their Su-24s or Su-25s? The MiG-29s will be limited in the Air to ground roll.

Ouch you killed me . Know i would have to make some research ... I have exams comming soon . Not good ! By the way i think i saw you on waronline forum... You speak Russian ? Thomsen Javehn - use of different forces combined working together and backing each other while the tanks playing role of charging spearhead . Romel was also probably the father of Tank warfare in desert.

Uhh I'm pretty sure the Brits invented tank warfare. Uhh I'm pretty sure the Brits invented tank warfare. Perhaps if you feel that the tank is soley a support base for infantry or that it shouldn't operate on its own then maybe you'd be right. The British may have more or less 'invented' the tank but its really the Germans that refined tank warfare and showed the many possibilities of tactics using armoured vehicles both by themselves or in combined arms situations. The Russians may well have been on the way but its clearly shown in the opening days of the German invasion of Russian during WWII that most of the people with the nessecary experience had been purged.

The "beheading of the Soviet army" is communist propaganda created to conceal the real facts about the beginning of the war. The reality is that USSR was preparing a "Blitzkrieg" (Or in Soviet terms "Deep Operation") against Germans and the rest of Europe and it was in the final stages of preparation when Germans launched a preemptive strike. The Soviet army found itself in a horrible tactical situation and that's why there were such losses. Of course unwillingness of the high command (that is Stalin) to accept the situation for what it is when the strike began didn't help either. cut thatguy96 Uhh I'm pretty sure the Brits invented tank warfare.

^^It's old video because of our 4 737 Awacs planes builded and 3 plane are testing in Turkey. Also the first 737 Awacs is going to entire service in this year...

So is that proto type(or mock up whatever) have the composite armor in that video or not yet ? because its looks too plain right now.

memolihow reliable is the G3 under circumstances like this... covered with mud or sand?

It will fire if thats what you're asking Biggest issue would be faulty ammo.

if you compare the rock and the soldier you will notice that our camo is doing the job pretty well. the colours of the camo and the colours of landscape are matching.

Anybody have an idea about my previous post ?

The European Union arms embargo on the People's Republic of China is an embargo which was imposed by the European Union (EU) member states on the People's Republic of China (PRC) in response to its suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.

Yes maybe an officially purchase but doesn't means China obtain technology from Europe. There are some ways to bypass the embargo such as joint co-operation. The Z-11 helicopter contains tech from some European countries.

Its into action but very limited Ive personally seen it being carried by spec forces in buiss suit inside black look alike portfolios on presidential events or oppenly carried by operators protecting the defense secretary or other high rank personalities.

You can see the short version all the time at SEDENA (literary just by walking by the side walk) main facilities carried by MPs. And it has been issued to a few groups but it doesnt seem like its going to be on full rate production any time soon. I dont know why maybe they will test it a lot first. That remains a mistery. The expo at Popotla has some of them in show.

What you think they still have 10000 rifles? Well just look at all the new black FX-05s

That is impossible if wolf pack said there are no new fx05. Then there must not be any. Those black fx05 are probably revamped older olive fx05 painted black like how the f5. Get a new paint job every year and that makes them new. Hint I'm joking.

ItalianmexicanThat is not funny. You think that Mexico is so poor that it has no money too make 10000 new FX-05s a year.

And no I don't think we can't build 10000 FX-05's if we want to. I beleive the Sedena is still testing them (now in the field and in action) and ironing out any kinks that they might have. That is perfectly normal with any new rifle as was experienced with the M-16 and with the SA 80/L85. At first they had flaws that had to be ironed out before they became excellent weapons.

Good news indeed. This is happening more and more each time I don't know if you've noticed but each time the narcos hit the armed forces sooner or later they get it.

Shiro

Are you sure that they hit it with RPG-7's? Those things are tough but I don't believe that they could survive RPG-7's. Level 5 protection means high caliber rifles and handguns such as 7.62 .357 .44 etc.

the actual hole from a RPG would be quite small. what you would see would be scarring from the blast but the killing potential comes from the shaped charge in the warhead.

Yeah considering VR-7 spec armored BMW 760Li-P's can take a RPG-7 hit i'm sure a heavy armored truck can.

Anyway somebody up there was watching over the occupants and we are lucky that it wasn't worse.

Felipe S. XicotencatlAnyway somebody up there was watching over the occupants and we are lucky that it wasn't worse.

Well looking through the pictures you can see that most of the RPG-7's captured from the cartel are using the OG-7V anti-personnel rounds which are basically just large fragmentation grenades or PG-7VL which is an outdated HEAT anti-vehicular round which was meant for old style armor configurations. The Iraqi's were armed with newer much more powerful PG-7VR dual HEAT warhead rounds which are meant to defeat modern armor or some even had the TBG-7V thermobarric rounds. These are the two types of rounds which did the damage too the Abrams and Bradleys in Iraq and even then most of the vehicles hit still were able to go on. I believe that the only tanks destroyed by RPG's were destroyed by RPG-29's.

Director Homero Guillermo Salcido Trevi�o Center for Comprehensive Coordination Control Command Communication and Computing aka C-5 has been killed in Nuevo Leon. His bullet riddled body has been found inside a burned up Armoured vehicle.

absolutely sure if you look at the lateral episcope broke off by the force of impact and unfortunately we can not clearly see how much damage caused the frontal impact

Felipe S. XicotencatlGood news indeed. This is happening more and more each time I don't know if you've noticed but each time the narcos hit the armed forces sooner or later they get it.

I think is a good idea. Eye for eye tuth by tuth. That way the scumbags now know they're can't get away with army or navy personell crimes. Eventually they'll pay the price.

Is there anymore information about Condor program?

Check out the Argentine FAS-1500 program which probably incorporates some lessons learned from the Condor program. This missile will reach a height of 350km and carry a payload of 200kg.

Cool but any links though?

ShadowstormIs there anymore information about Condor program?

The Condor is somewhat of the holy grail of Argentine military history. What little information there is often contradicts itself. The first variant was basically a long-range artillery rocket while the eventual Condor II would've been a full-fledged ballistic missile with respectable range. There was work done on a re-entry vehicle the guidance system and the propulsion with German help but the political will wasn't there and the project fizzled out (like most promising Argentine weapons programs).

Most of them were. Some were licence manufactured in Malaysia.

What about the Adnav IFV we saw in the first batch.

They seem to be Belgian/Dutch YPRs did they buy them from us or what?

The Malaysian army uses both the FNSS Adnan imported from Turkey/license-built in Malaysia and the KIFV from South Korea.

Got to admit (as a motorcycle rider myself) I've always been puzzled as to the tactical value of a motorbike. The enemy can hear you long before they see you you can't hear anything over the bike yourself 99% of your attention is focussed on your riding and not on anything else around you and if you get contacted there's a good chance you'll come off and hurt yourself even if you don't get shot. I can't think of any other vehicle I'd rather not be on/in when close to the enemy.

Nice FNH SCAR-L

NB : these guys aren't SF but conventionnal "Groupe de Commandos Parachutistes" from 3 ou 8 RPIMA.

A lot of these guys appear to be equipped with F�LIN. Does anyone know which of the units in CAR have it? I'd love to know if they find it useful.

Mat_frNB : these guys aren't SF but conventionnal "Groupe de Commandos Parachutistes" from 3 ou 8 RPIMA.

I think some of them are SF based on their helmets/guns. I've seen three distinct rigs: 1. older-style helmet and FAMAS 2. the newer F�LIN helmets/guns and 3. what I think are SF helmets and guns that are neither of the above perhaps something in the M-4 family.

Dave76

These guys aren't SF? The helmets and guns aren't FELIN. Or am I wrong?

Hello these are guys 1st rhp

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/1er_r%C..._parachutistes

Damnit... Civilians should know that even if you're angry even if you have the feeling the allied military is on your side you just DON'T try to lynch a guy escorted by armed military professionnals ! I hate mobs...

A question to you LEOs and military folks had there ever been a study as to why people behave stupidly even in the presence of allied troops ? Like interfering with the arrest of your ennemy (he's already being taken away why mess the arrest by being a doorknob ?)? If you had these situation what does training say about putting up with thickheaded civilians ?

My respect to the pilot that he managed to land this plane Top Class. He deserves a state award

ZvezdaWow thats some major cross winds.

From what I got that was technical failure not cross winds also I don't think you would land at an airport with such known wind shears that would throw a plane around that way rather you would be re-routed to an alternate or be held in a waiting pattern.

gunman

are they packed for a drop? or is this a museum display?

Looks like both

AEK-971 5.45x39 mm assault rifle photos.

sgt_Gare they packed for a drop? or is this a museum display?

They are packed for a drop. All of these pics were been taken during VTT Omsk 2007

I like the new version of the AEK-971 looks like better polymer furniture and fire-selector ergonomically.

Thanks for the photos dzhaga

Little-RockFrom what I got that was technical failure not cross winds also I don't think you would land at an airport with such known wind shears that would throw a plane around that way rather you would be re-routed to an alternate or be held in a waiting pattern.

From the picture it was both a malfunction AND a crosswind. Look at their landing approach closer -- the plane goes practically wing-first and that's a clear indication of a strong crosswind. And about rerouting -- well would you try to fly to some other airport if your only controls are engine thrust and rudder? I'd rather not. So double cheers to the guy managing a cross-wind landing on a barely controllable plane!

since the parade is coming

I love the thing they did with the nazi flags! I can't even imagine how all Russian people felt that day!

blilov I love the thing they did with the nazi flags!

armored_diplomacybtw I�m really surprised and curious by the Russian ships from 1900-1910 funny designs over there.

After Tsushima the Russians built pretty good ships

JCRAfter Tsushima the Russians built pretty good ships

Thanks fo the info JCR; I�m checking previous pages and I see similar designs from French ships also.

armored_diplomacy

Thank you! You should see also some funny French designs pre-dreadnoughts and armored cruisers of the 1880s and 1890s. It is the period of experimentations.

They were french-centered before Tsushima or before 1900 and then changed to british german designs.

For example the Novik type destroyer was developed by Blohm & Voss

Very Very nice stuff. Wonderful items to add to my collection.

As you noticed only few colorized photos were for imperial Japanese Navy while the person that does all this jop is Japanese. Is this possible? No! Now I will begin posting colorized photos of IJN there are more than 400 so be patient and I hope you will enjoy them as the others before. Some of the photos especially of battleships and aircraf tcarriers have been posted before but I post them again to have a complete collection.
