IamKirk Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Comrades! We are doomed. Americans have flying M113. Just a glitch in the AAR while reviewing. I was hitting that M113 about 1000 meters away during the actual run time. Everything was fine then. Sure looks funny though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larmor can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this M113 was hit near Shuja'iyya, in the hours after the Battle of Shuja'iyya neighborhood, when Israeli medical personnel were attacked resulting in the loss of 2 KIA and 2 WIA (crew at the time was a driver, photographer and 2 medics). English sources mention the incident but do not specify that the medic vehicle attacked was an M113. "278.At around 7 a.m. on the same day, according to another witness, a military medical aid ambulance was directly struck twice while the witness and his colleague attempted to provide first aid to victims in the area. There were four persons in the vehicle, a driver, a photographer and two paramedics. The passengers were all hit, including while trying to flee the shelling. Two of them were killed and two injured." https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/HRCouncil/CoIGaza/A_HRC_CRP_4.docx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the OHCHR describes a Hamas vehicle as a 'military' vehicle. Of course Israeli medical evacuation vehicles do not carry photographers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Israeli medical evacuation vehicles do not carry photographers. Interesting take. I would still like to know more. The presence of a photographer during a combat operation is not unusual. The photo was originally taken by Baz Ratner, a photojournalist, so I guess I'll just have to email him.

iamfritz Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 This was oddly fun. Watching my infantry rocket T-55s and T-72s in the face to flip their flapjacks... a simple joy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just taken back when I saw this I had to post the shot. For some reason I'd thought night phases weren't in teh program (I don't know where I Got that). I had a battle at dawn and was so thrilled taking in the different effects I got waxed. Edited March 15, 2021 by iamfritz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picky Me would like to see them for the duration of ground contact. They appear on landing and takeoff, but disappear if the chopper idles on the ground. Probably a resources/framerate concession? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted March 18, 2021 Members Share Posted March 18, 2021 I think we tied this to airflow/lift generated, and a rotor with collective zero doesn't create much of a downwash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was was in the 5th Battalion, 68th Armored Regiment from 77-80. I don't specifically recall meeting this gentleman. I'm curious as to why he is being commemorated. Anyway, this sure brings back memories. 5/68 was located at Funari barracks outside Mannheim, Germany back then. I was in what was known as the Combat Support Company. CSC was an ad-hoc unit consisting of a mortar platoon, a scout platoon, a redeye platoon and a ground surveillance radar platoon. The constituent components were to be split up and come under the direct command of the battalion commander should we be deployed. I'm pretty sure 5/68 was deactivated along with the 8th Infantry Division as part of the cold war drawdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
