It was still necessary to get into this turret. And since the tank did not burn out, the crew was still lucky. Moreover, a tank without dynamic protection. Unlike the M-60T Sabra.

As you can see, if the commander was in place, you will not envy him.

[Safevi]

Kurds these days massively spread fake news about "dozens of destroyed tanks." "hundreds of killed Turkish soldiers", "mass deaths of civilians" ..... The Turks quite successfully expose them on TV, showing these same photographs, only dated 2013-2016, and not necessarily taken in Turkey.

And what's the point of getting there? And you still love to laugh at German tanks, sofa sofas are justifiably all of you have a photo fact (or, as you often demand here, facts in the studio, they say) -How elephant grainsHere and the facts ... In the studio ...

[St Petrov]

apparently tangentially going, and then through. Those inside were splashed in the face with fragments.

Old tank - old armor. But the Ottomans were lucky. And I wonder what worked for them. Probably the same age as this pepelats shell

like an elephant grains

would go under + - right angle - the consequences would be sad - like any, practically, a tank.

And you still love to make fun of German tanks

Well, do not be enthusiastic about competitors, having more advanced equipment available.

No, well, if you are a non-German patriot, then your words are clear

The M-60 reservation of the 2nd World War. His RPG in any projection takes.
This is more a miss than a hit.

Defense reaction tank. Now a “screen mesh” is pulled between the barrel petals, and the tank is “reliably” protected from the frontal projection.

Where the muzzle of the tank gun, I have not found in the tank school for 4 years. So where the hell is it ?!

Moreover, a tank without dynamic protection.

why not? I mean, in the photo it’s certainly already without, but it seems that this is how the dynamic protection AFTER the hit looks. that is, it seemed

[Aristarkh Lyudvigovich]

In Turkish M60A3 there is no dynamic protection, from the word at all. But she is on the modification of the M-60T Sabra

[Grafova Irina]

And where is the Sabra. Which is the Israeli deep modernization of the M60A3, made under the Turkish tender. The closest analogue is the Israeli Magash 7C - also a M60A3 mod. But the Turks did not have M60A3, but M60A1, which, in the amount of 170 units, with the help of the Israelis brought to the level of Sabra Mk3, but already at home. And we got a very high-quality product, as a result, outwardly even just unlike the original sample

[Dreamboat]

I bet 2 penetrations and another gap below in the second photo - to the crew of the pi_ets campaign. It can kill with a compression blow, and not just with a fire of a car ....

[KOMA]

Kill can and compression strike

-obscurantism! Read articles on "for armor impact cumulative projectiles."

bad hit, quickly repaired

They got into our crocodile on the fly, to say nothing of a motionless tank. You need to hide better, hide in the folds of the terrain ... tankers have a hard time dying.

Muzzle from the window, and this is the trunk.

And how many total launches did “in the field”, and not on the simulator? And what does the “barrel” look like?

And they made it so that you don’t get stuck - there are no missile residues, you can’t prove anything! Not exactly ours. We had a platoon in our company - he generally could fall into a dime.

[KondratKo]

Pyatak of the times of the USSR was the size of the "top ten" on a shooting target, so your platoon is not so super, of course, if he did it from ATGMs from a distance of 100m or more, then I take off my hat. )))

[Petrik66]

And when I served, so we have one Estonian in a dispute could eat a barrel of pearl barley.

15th century phrase but I think she’s a lot more years old. Geopolitics is conservative. There is little modern in it.

Erdogan is doing the right thing. Drives stubborn Kurds into Syria. As they were offered for a long time - to autonomy. Hence the silence of Russia.

[Bypassed]

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on January 26, the man after the liberation of the Syrian enclave of Afrin from the armed forces of the Syrian Kurds, the country's armed forces will go to Manbij, Turkish Anadolu agency reported.
With such a statement, he made an appeal to the ruling Justice and Development Party. According to the Turkish leader, the operation in Afrin is a "clear signal" to those who do not want to understand Turkey’s resolve in the fight against terrorism.

“We do not occupy Afrin,” the Turkish leader emphasized.
“On the contrary, we are trying to make it suitable for the lives of the real owners, while at the same time eliminating the terrorists from there,” he said, adding that the operation is directed exclusively against “terrorists”.

He also indicated that after Afrin, the Turkish armed forces would go to Manbij.

Evo how. So this is not a war at all –– they (Turks) will simply eliminate the bad ones and populate the territory with real owners, for example, Turkomans. That is all. The Armenian Genocide? They didn’t hear.

Exactly, just someone knows the history of their country poorly. Well, while the Guarantor is burning.

[Disorder]

They would have found and knocked out M48.

[Reserve buildbat]

Because of this, did the scratches come out of the battle? Well, warriors ... A turret with bulletproof armor. Tangent hit. Affected 2-3 triplex. This is yes ... This is a nightmare ... the tank is not operational ...
