He just keeps going.
Pretty hairy experience. Looks like it glanced off, then exploded.
So was the first one knocked out? Seemed to be.
He kept going, but it looked like the guy on the tank had his head fall off.
Good times all around.
Hear that turd insurgent narrarating the vid,, when it hits he starts with that Allu Akbar crap. This is the side everyone is pushing us to join in with.
When they win, they’ll be the standard issue America hating, Israel hating, terror supporting moslems.
We have no business there.
I hear reports of Syrian chemical munitions being moved to the area around Hom.They have Sarin,I wonder if they’re crazy enough to use it.
Probably. The way I look at it is this -- The same sh!thead "mujahidin" that are fighting Assad were the same ones streaming into Iraq to fight us.
There is no way the muj could have flowed into Iraq in the numbers they did with out the implicitness, if not outright assistance of Assad's regime. Assad played a dangerous game hoping the alligator would eat him last, but eat him it will.
IMO, the best we can hope for is that the regime will kill enough of the muj (causing more to flow in from other muslim sh!tholes in search of their martyrdom) to keep them from being a threat elsewhere; while the muj in turn continue to hinder the regime. At best, the regime remains victorious over AQ yet to weak to cause harm to Israel, Iraq, and Jordan.
Here's hoping their "Arab Spring" will continue to flow forth with muslim blood, while the Jews and Christians stand on the outside.
The Syrian armed forces have lost 4,800 dead since the start of this uprising 18 months ago.
I think the regime will eventually collapse.
We have no business there.
In my case, I'm just rooting for both sides to be really successful in this war. You're absolutely right, we have NO business getting involved there, though I'm hoping this goes on for a very long while. The more of each other they slaughter, the fewer victorious enemies we'll have to face when their festivities end.

Hear, hear!
I agree with you both.
Does Syria use surplus Russian armor?
They have Sarin, cynaide, mustard, and maybe bio ... been building up since the 70s with the additions from Iraq via Saddam. For use against Israel, not “rebels”.
Yes, T-72s and latest Russian attack helios on the way via ship. All Syria weapons are Russian made, mostly from the 80s, but maybe with some upgrades
boom
That tank made his saving throw versus RPG...
Them little fellers get just downright excited and all!
Just a hootin `n hollerin.
.
Ooh! That could be series.
And fatal.
We have no business there.
Worth repeating...
We have no business there.
A typical RPG is fairly dinky, and it hit on the turret, one of the most heavily armored parts of the tank. There is a surfeit of much better antitank weaponry out there, which is why tanks are on the downside until somebody can invent a better way to protect them.
