At the third picture you see “reactive Armor” the phillipine way.
You made my day!
dont laugh it will work!
I just hope they did not pack enough explosives inside of those crates to flip an Abrams tank upside down. Cause they will totally ruin their camo paint job on that infantry fighting vehicle haha. It will suck their helmets off of their heads and leave them hairless for life lol. Too much of a good thing can be a very bad thing lol
I guess in the end though they could say “hey, at least it stopped the ISIS rocket from being the thing that killed us”
i thought the wood is the actual armor, silly me. And the label explosives is for what was once inside. But why fill it with explosives?
Lmao
Haha, assuming the vehicles own front tyre that seems in quite close proximity doesn’t tear it off!
you know nothing of ‘reactive armour’. if they wanted that they would have covered the vehicle with boxes of matches. that would work.especially if they are the high end models that are waterproof and windproof. a more effective solution is cigarette lighters but its much more
expensive. what we see here is a stealth vehicle. very low radar profile, state of the art camouflage. its a 9++ generation combat vehicle.
Reminds me of those bed springs the Russians put on their tanks in 45, as a way of defeating the panzerfaust. Whatever works I suppose.
The wood should also help it float.
Fully amphibious, it can drive into the ocean and show up on the other side of the island.
Taking ISUS trash by complete surprise! :)
Wouldn’t that make things even worst, say if the enemy throws a molotov ?
