mattebubben Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Most likely the Iranian copy of the 9M113 Konkurs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev_6zZN-oes Yea its been stated that it appears to be a Tosan (Iranian Konkurs variant) But the houtis also have Tows in there arsenal (out of Yemeni army stocks) but in this incident it appears to have been the Konkurs.

Esac_mirmidon Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) We must take in count that the Saudi Abrams aren´t the most modern ones. So the ATGM protection is not at the same level as the most modern US Army Abrams. Edited August 26, 2015 by Esac_mirmidon " You must think in russian.."

Rogue Trooper Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 interesting... Poor old tanks, every one wants to kill them and they have built lots of kit to do it.

And that's why you won't see me climbing inside a tank Military service is not very safe profession and not in all countries service is voluntary. But good for you to have choice in the matter, and have others that are ready to climb inside instead of you should the need arise. 1 Anton. My pit build thread .

shagrat Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I gotta wonder how much better the US M1A2 would be. I guess the US Tank would simply move instead of sitting around on a plane and wait to be hit? Biggest advantage of modern MBTs is agility and comms. It is pretty hard to hit a tank that moves with 30-40mph more so if his other two buddies in the platoon are just waiting for you to signal your position with a nice plume and smoke trail... In war the best equipped and armed soldier will be at risk of being knifed when he sleeps on watch and has nobody watching his back. No matter if you have a kevlar west, helmet, best rifle in the world, if the guy can simply walk over and cut your throat you are done for!

StrongHarm Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 For info on how much better the M1A2 SEP is than the Saudi M1A1, read about the TUSK modification. It's really amazing. A video went viral recently of a TUSK equipped tank taking a direct hit from an ATGM and shrugging it off.. then turning turret on opfor and retorting.. it was sweet. It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBlemmen Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 360 video is really taking off (no pun intended) and i love it. Sorry if this has been linked before , i looked trough the tread and couldnt find it. Tried to put it in a youtube box but it gave an error. Not sure if it's because its 360 video or if i just messed it up :/ ${1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOnTheOP Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 ;2459352']... And that's why you won't see me climbing inside a tank Why not? Despite how impressive it looks, I would bet a paycheck that the crew survived, and the vehicle was only lightly damaged (as in, a decent BDAR crew could return it to service in a couple days) The strike was clearly far to the rear of the turret, in the ammo bustle. It's *designed* to cook off like that. There are armored doors between the ammo and the crew compartment, and blow-off panels on the roof to vent the flame and overpressure, which are designed to work precisely as seen in the video. It's telling that the video cuts away as soon as the flames died down: the crew probably popped out immediately thereafter... or just drove off! Kind of like the times when Iraqi terrorists would take video of some bloke tripping and falling getting out of a HMMWV, photoshop crosshairs on the video, dub in a gunshot sound, and then claim they killed the guy, when in reality five seconds more into the video shows him getting up and dusting himself off. (yes, I have seen examples of that with both the edited and unedited film; hilarious) Oh... well, Chris seems to have beaten me to the reply. I *really* need to get to the end of a thread before I type a reply >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112th_Rossi Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 What would it take to destroy an M1A2 tank if not an ATGM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 You would usually immobilize it first using anti tank mines, large (really large) IEDs to throw off the tracks. Brimstone, Hellfire and similar specialized missiles or DPICM from Artillery that hit from above. An incendiary (phosphorous) grenade/projectile to the engine compartment, then multiple ATGM or similar to actually destroy it. The problem is to catch the tank in the open waiting for you to hit it and not having his platoon buddies around that would get mad at you...

vicx Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) NICE video McBlemmen. Stylish in every way and what a view, the 360 really adds a LOT. I was enjoying the view and looking around and then I decided to look all the way back and got a bit of shock because I didn't realise I was sitting in some guys lap. So it's not quite a pilots eye view - more like being a head on stick being held by the guy in a two seater not flying the plane but ... it is awesome. Also ... now want an F5 and Swiss Mountains in DCS. Edited August 27, 2015 by vicx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
