Dat scope was a gift from bathhouse Barry in 2009
It was their fault for sleeping out in the open. Always sleep under cover. And set up false cover as well.
I spent some time in their neighborhood. This was one of the "rules" we followed in the field, because this lesson was learned the hard way before my time.
It's kind of amazing to me that the people who actually have lived in these environments for their entire lives don't know better. They know this is how they fight; maybe they got used to fighting us?
I'll tell you this- if that was an American soldier looking down that scope at a pile of sleeping Taliban, he would probably not have been allowed to open fire because we let pussies in Washington decide how to fight a war against hardened guerillas halfway across the planet.
I recently watched an old Russian movie of a battle with Germans. The movie is more or less a docudrama and there's been a huge memorial erected at the site of the battle. In the end, out of a battalion only six survivors are left. The battalion wiped out about 14 German tanks and repelled all the foot soldiers or killed them.
The Russians had dug fake trenches and set up wooden artillery and then entrenched behind that line with real trenches and real artillery.
The results of the first engagement were quite predictable as the Germans shelled out the fake trenches and then moved forward over that line and encountered the real deal. Four tanks were taken out before they retreated and resumed shelling on the actual trenches and artillery.
My only critique of the Soviet forces is that rather than trying to hold their position for the second onslaught they should have prepared a third line of trenches to retreat to.
Anyway, the Germans blasted their trenches killing a great many of them and then moved forward. No Soviet reinforcements were to be had. The Soviet forces had tied grenades together and when the tanks went over the trenches the Soviets would use those grenades to break the tracks then firebomb the tank crews.
By the end of the engagement all tanks had been destroyed and any German survivors on foot had run back to the main battle group which comprised many more tanks.
The German commander not knowing there were only six men left of the Soviet forces from afar could only look over the scene to see the German tanks ablaze and disabled with his troops scattered all over the fields. He pulled back and went looking for another way past the Soviet lines.
The reason the area was key was that behind the Soviets lay a highway the Germans needed to use. By blocking access to the highway they succeeded in slowing the advance of the German forces enough to allow Soviet forces to get into position. Had the German commander realized how effective the first three engagements had actually been he could have just had the rest of his tanks surge forward and onto the highway.
As far as Russian movies go, this one is very good.
This entire battle is a lesson on using scouts and other info-gathering techniques.
Cowardly, but that’s to be expected of sand niggers.
I suppose you wouldn't shoot the guy who sillouetted his entire body in a doorway either? that wouldn't be fair...
The reality is this is what war in America is going to be like. Trained marksmen slaughtering wannabe commandos milling about presenting themselves as targets.
Trained lol. Or just hog hunting rednecks. They have thermal.
I'll say this... dudes scope was dialed for that distance. But yea, trained might be a stretch.
When it comes to america, you have to assume they're gonna have mexicans in helicopters and nigger snipers creeping through the bush to get you. It's the (((american))) government vs everyone except israel, and I GUARANTEE a lot of those order following faggots aren't gonna have a clue what to do alone. They'll stay and kill american citizens.
Yea we play with sportsmanship but u can't expect enemies to do the same
the british military used Gurkha's during ww2 to demoralize german and italian soldiers. the Ghurka's would be used on night patrols and they would slip in behind german lines and slit the throats of soldiers silently. not every soldier but where they're 2 soldiers only one . the soldier they didn't kill would report what happened to the soldier who was with them at the time. very demoralizing to the other soldiers that that had happened and nobody heard anything. very effective use of their talents i would say, true story in the Gurkha's history.
Gurkhas got btfo when British military tried using them in Northern Ireland against the IRA.
the roe was different. they weren't allowed to shoot back in northern ireland. however every where else they served they served with distinction. and still are the best at killing silently.
They're like the green berets of the airborne rangers of the navy seals of delta force.
99% chance this was an American genocideing middle easterners
Based?
No. This is just giving Israel more power. Israel controls the USA
israel already has all the power.
Where did that scope come from? How did he get it?
ahh...
Have a useless point
You scoff, but someday these sweet, sweet internet points will be worth something when they start judging people by the 'social credit score'.
Downed helicopter, ambushed convoy, raided corpses
CIA probably.
Why didn't they jump, build a wall, take slurp juice and med up?
They should've just taken cover, used a CMS, rubbed some vaseline on their face, eaten a Tushonka, then equipped some fortress armor and an Altyn.
Rookies...
They deserved every bit of it. Sleeping in the open ground, unprotected and no security on duty with their own night vision scopes, ya, I've no sympathy. It would have made far more sense to dig in and set up a watch using about 1/4th of the men to take shifts. Also, not having at least a few of the same types of equipment means they were outgunned.
Of course your enemy will strike when you are most vulnerable. That's just a given in warfare.
And why do they have a scope camera?
To make a video and show other jihadis they can win and to join
Doubtful
Come on man !!, think about it, why does he have a scope camera ??. According to those that do the recording and upload footage, it is for propaganda and recruitment purposes. Live-leak, Crazyshit.com, BestGore (now defunct) et al are full of these types of videos ...
sitting ducks. was that blood splatter?
Nah, it's very hard to see something like blood with this kind of device.
Anything that you see that is black in color is much, much cooler than everything else. The hotter something is, the more white it becomes.
I assume you're asking about those black chunks you see flying everywhere? Those are pieces of debris, rocks and shrapnel, which were under the surface of the ground during the day, thus retaining no heat from the sun- so when it's suddenly blown out by a couple of bullets, it shows up as much cooler than the chunks blown off of the surface.
You can see this in the weapons of the victims, too- see how they're all black? If they were fired a few times, they'd start getting brighter around the muzzle area. These guys didn't really get a chance to return much fire because like 8 of them were already shot before anyone realized they were under attack.
Looked like the first shot was a clean headshot..
I believe the IR is reversed with white == cool and black == warm. I know they're dark in Afghanistan lol but their skin is all black. Also supersonic rounds hitting a surface creates a lot of friction which generates heat.
Reguardless these guys got fucked up.
those scopes are no joke expensive
