Of course Pmaitra as allways being biased, deleted all my posts, not surprising. Bhadra on the other hand, not only further spread his BS, but starts to attack other nationalities, again not surprising on Indian forum with Indian user. To be honest I have enough dealing with such stupidity, I...

Yes, they simply used combined arms tactics, their commanders and soldiers used brains, they knew thier strenghts and weaknesses. This is a difference between strong, well trained, well motivated army, and something completely opposite functioning in other countries.

@Bhadra, to put it simple, so you will be able to understand that (however I still have doubts, as you are incapable to understand anything...) You are another, civilian, who don't know shit about military, weapon systems, or how military operates on battlefield. Furthermore, similiar...

Wrong! US Army/USMC/British Army faced a well organized defences in city, be it Baghdad, Basra or Fallujah for example. There are tons of analysis, books and other sources of informations about military operations in Iraq and how coalition forces used tanks. Properly used tank is great...

Funny, when people talk that tanks are useless in urban environment. US Army and British Army laugh from you. Both US Army (and also USMC) and British Army used tanks in urban enviroment with great success. It is a myth spread by complete idiots, that tanks are useless in city, proffesionals...

You Indians allways believe that your terrain conditions are unique, they are not, and they are not serious challenge for any kind of modern, well trained and well prepared armed forces with modern equipment. Maybe first read some analisis from US Army directly. There were made recently...

Tanks were allways part of combined arms. I am not interested in your fantasy, neither in discussion with someone like you. Now go away and stop wasting my time...

There are no heavy tanks today, there are no medium tanks today, both classes had been replaced by universal main battle tank class. And the weight is not an issue as proved conflicts across the globe, even if tank weights more than 60 metric tons, it is a myth. For example for a long time in...

Nope. Read official US Army documents. In 2018 modernization of existing M1 tanks to the new configuration currently developed within ECP-1 (Engineering Change Proposal) will be pending. First batch of modernized tanks is said to be ~2000. Completely new tank development is said to start...

xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx. Mod : No name calling :nono: http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/doctrine/genesis_and_evolution/source_materials/FM-100-5_operations.pdf Field Manual from 1993, June, Armored Warfare in USA exists as Combined Arms Warfare, it was allways that way and it did not changed...

@ghost Don't worry, Shinsheki was indeed replaced as well as his zelots both in US Army HQ as well as in Congress, DoD and Pentagon. Currently US is investing in to AFV's modernization, including modernization of Main Battle Tanks, and also there are currently performed R&D work on new...

Re: MSPO 2012 Military Exhibition in Kielce. This is very naive thinking. As I said, after 1st World War people were beliving that this was the last war, after 2nd World War people were thinking the same, although were more pesimistic and realistic. I'am realist, I do not belive in peace or...

Re: MSPO 2012 Military Exhibition in Kielce. I do not understood this. So everyone should resign from armored vehicles entirely because they are not capable to climb on mount everest? And BMP-2 was actually very effective vehicle in Afghanistan, the actuall problem was it's armor protection...

War allways will be expensive, but vehicles with high survivability like tanks, helps to reduce some of the most expensive losses, losses among own men. This improves morale of not only soldiers, but also rest of nation... good morale is sometimes more needed than good economy... even the best...

Preparation of enbankaments is not truth. It was done only in sone place in Warsaw Pact countries to speed up eventuall fording operations, but is not nececary. Americans perfectly used good road systems in Iraq, and didn't destroyed them. War is something different than peace time, nobody...

This is why there are combined forces, artillery and forces on our river bank provide cover and supressive fire, tanks and heavy IFV's go through obstacle and fight from a march.

Yes there are such engines, but we must remember that not every type of fuel will be "healthy" for engine.

1) Diesel is not really multi-fuel, not in the same way as gas turbines. 2) Gas Turbines achieved the same reliability as Diesels. 3) Do not compare previous generations of Gas Turbines with current and future generations. LV100-5 today considered as previous generation was still very close to...

Well we will see, there are of course alternatives like very modern high tech gas turbine engines. They are more fuel efficent than previous generations (almost close to Diesels), and still are also more fuel efficent. Perhaps alternative to the more traditional combustible fuel based on oil...

Not really, they can go underwater or cross normal road bridges that each day needs to hold a lot of trucks loaded with stuff. Do You know that a brigde marked as 50 tons class, can actually hold much more. I was talking with some guys working with bridges, they say that mostly, such bridge can...
