ran

Gendarmerie armored vehicles : VBRG VBC90 (the gendarmerie got this wheeled 90mm gun to strenghten its ego )

Is that a bomb squad van Ran ? Van Ran sounds nice btw Yeah, bomb squad van. The explosives ordinance disposal unit was one of the first things I saw in the police , i've had a nice time there, nothing special I just did what i've done during my past military career a nice transition somewhat

My heroes : http://raid.admin.free.fr/images/200.jpg friends of mine (former coworkers) : (large pictures because they were one of the best bunch of chaps i've ever met they don't desserve their shitty reputation) the wanabe GIGN best replacement duty i've ever had just an unknown bunch of up-armored and up-armed gendarmes ( ) : nice one : http://www.gign.org/galleries/photos/g-images/actions/actions67.jpg 12 angry men : (yes, one went to the toilets ) http://www.gign.org/galleries/photos/g-images/actions/actions16.jpg edit: 2 pics over file size limit.

french cars ...... enough said : that's another matter : one I know well : once again, french cars : bike : still french car, but different category : trying to find pictures of uniforms right now

Yeah, it's the RPO-A Shmell, never came accross one but i'd be glad to test out this little bastard someday. Afaik, it uses a 93mm hollow/thermobaric tandem warhead (light penetration and then fuel air effect inside the target (it has to be only lightly armoured) and it's said to have the same results after impact as a 105mm Artillery gun shell. The AoE is of around 60m3 depending on the envirronment in which it impacts. It uses a disposable launcher just like a LAW or an RPG22. The max range is said to be a bit under 1000 meters with an effective range of between 200 and 600 meters (minimal range being of ca. 20 meters). The projectile filling weights, from the estimations i got of a little bit less than 2.5kg and the warhead as a whole is said to weight a bit more than 6.5kg for a length of ca. 700mm. To me it looks like the right solution for an infantry-fired incendiary device.

faster than me clover king : forgot to read the reports concerning the upcoming 11th of september events, and managed to get an augmentation of 40% for his agency budget. He has been allowed by Bush to plot and to execute political leaders in more than 80 countries. in the same collection : spad ace : state secretary of defence, predicts september 11th attacks 2 minutes before they happen, instrumentalizes them to augment defence budgets and to build a "spatial army" able to "definately dominate" the world square ace : former Halliburton CEO (oil treatment equipments and KBR (mercenaries). Vice-president of the united stated, he subcontracts a part of the military action in Iraq to KBR and entrust the rebuilding of the Iraqi infrastructure to Halliburton square king : president of a baseball club and director of the oil compagny owned by Salem Ben Laden (brother of Ossama), chosen as president of the united states by his father's friends in the supreme court before the vote results shown he lost Joker : pretext, the united states have secret proofs which show you threaten world peace with mass desstruction weapons. They regret to have to eliminate you pre-emptively Joker : Alibi, CIA agent fighting the soviets in Afghanistan, and then creating dissension between arab nationalists and islamists and then to create a clash between the "arabo-muslim" and "judeo-christian" worlds

isn't Al Sharpton's skin a bit darker ?

no way, she works for the Mossad and can't show you her pic

no, foreign contractors paid by the US secretary of state don't fight americans /sarcasm/

Returning fire with individual and collective weapons, requesting armor support (even if it's in the middle of an urban area, the command should be able to attach a few infantry squads to the tanks as support. If the shit really hits then fan then you call in CLOSE air support (a gunship or any armed helicopter). If those aren't available? And there happens to be a friendly aircraft nearby with attack capabilities? Those should be available, you don't go on a boys scout trip without the right tools. American officers and leaders are far from being incompetent, i'm sure of it, but I still think an airstrike with a laser guided bomb was too much.

Is it too hard to apply suppressive fire on KNOWN enemy positions with squad weapons ? -edit- and if it gets really bad, no obstination needed, just leave the spot, it's not a fucking western. Denoir pointed it all out already

You answer according to the aggression. You do not in any case call in an airstrike of any kind in a (densely) populated area. Urban battles aren't won by dropping LGB's or any kind of explosives.

DDR helmets would make great woks

Because Germany, Egypt and Russia have reliable intel services and the FBI and CIA had clues and precise warnings but failed to react. That´s why. Very odd... seems like everything is pieced together... shows how lazy us Americans are you just have shitty Humint and other "background" personnel . while we got a relatively limited Elint. The best info you get, you get it from the field.

So the life of a man who purposely signed up a contract knowing that it meant that he was paid to risk his life is more important than the life of several innoncent who haven't asked anything to anybody ? Did you see the UN troops levelling the whole fucking Sniper Alley in Sarajevo or wasting hills after hills of the bosnian landscape because of enemy mortar teams ? Did you see the french army levelling civilian buildings in Africa because militia members were inside ? They should have been facing peacekeeping, but the american leadership is just retarded, and i'm keeping it polite.

I get it...allow me to patch it up: A sargeant is testing a newly arrived conscript on what to do in some situations. He asks "When you're a sentry, what do you do if you see a figure crawling towards your position at night?" The conscript answers "I would gently escort this officer to his quarters". good job

It's a .. KITTY TRAP !!!!!

A sergeant asks a newly arrived conscript what to do when, as a sentinel, he sees a man crawling toward his position at night. The conscript answers: "i gently take this officer to his quarters" (I think some of the funny gets lost in translation)

5 or 50, i don't give a toss, what are RoE's for they're to be used by military cooks ? There are other ways than air support, the US Army should get that through some of its men's thick skull

I have already been shot at on NUMEROUS occasions and this didn't require a fucking gunship to get my buddies, men and me out of the shit.

so your being shot at from the mosque, you return fire, the insurgent just retreats back into the building, the Marine on the ground will make the call to bring in support, his primary concern is of his men, if his men are fired upon, he will do whatever it takes to stop that threat, If there are 5 or 6 guys with AK's in a mosque then the best bet is to get some hevier support in, such as sectre or Helicopter to blow the shit out of it, now its not the coalitions fault if these men use civilians as cover. Also again if ur in a mosque where armed militia are firing upon US marines and you stay in that mosque then its your own fault if then an apache fires a helfire into the building and you die. A fucking marine squad intimidated by 5 gunmen ? PUSSIES !! Sure, the leader's main concern is his men, but you DO NOT IN ANY CASE ATTACK A CULT CENTER IN WHICH THERE ARE CIVILIANS ! AND YOU EVEN LESS LEVEL IT WITH ARTILLERY OR AIR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND ! This can only create even more anger within the local population What are the US army officers and warrants taught for fucks sake ? You do not do "whatever it takes" to stop a threat, you act depending on the threat level, 5 or 6 gunmen DO NOT IN ANY CASE REPRESENT A GOOD ENOUGH MOTIVE TO LEVEL A CIVILIAN BUILDING AND EVEN LESS A RELIGIOUS ONE !! Don't be astonished if roadside bombs flourish like cherry trees at spring then? you get what you deserve on a battlefield. Religious buildings have generally been considered as sanctuaries in tacit military laws since the dawn of times, keeping them as such can only make you look or sound good, it's somewhat apart of an honour code. If ever armed hostiles break into a religious building to take cover in it, you just close the surroundings and wait for the to do whatever they feel like doing. Doing such a nasty action can only create more anger within the locals' minds. But the whole lot of military operations on Iraqi soil is a big fat flaw on its own. Once again, this only shows how heavily handed the US Army is.

i don't hold Kagame in much respect. He's accusing the French government because some elements came up in the former president's plane crash inquiry trying to cover up some of his (nasty?) business. France took no part in the killings and as you know, the french military gets involved a lot with several African militaries. And you don't need to be a fucking genius to know how to use a machette or a Kalashnikov.

KICK ASS !!!!!! awesome pic And a warm welcome to you, may you post even more and even more nice pictures.

the Antonov AN225 Mirya/Cossack is a real monster , I saw it once at Paris Air Show, this thing is simply monstruous its flight is kinda majestuous eventhough this bird is a "fat ass"

congrats and go on that way.
