        In one country not far from us they like to shout - Glory to the Heroes! Yes, only Heroes are not there, for example, alone: ​​traitors, fascists, poets, downs and ped ... s.
        And this is how the Heroes of Russia die, how just Russians die ... Now not a single gn ... but will be able to say that Andrei has retreated and the notorious English tabloids can write about the "Russian Rambos" without sarcasm to the soldiers of "Her Majesty" to such FEAT as before China ra ... m. And if someone tries to convince me, speaking about the heroism of modern British or Americans SHOW ME A VIDEO, where the soldier stands to the last without retreating and firing at a kamikaze approaching him, despite distinct shouts -We leave, for cover! (22 sec.)

        PS
        Andrey joined Sasha Prokhorenko. Now these two guys, like two Apostles, will set the bar for all the guys who serve in the Army. How to live and how to die. Let the earth rest in peace for you Andrey, as well as Sasha! Bow to the ground for what you have done. With your lives, you gave your homeland a weapon comparable to nuclear powershowing the WORLD, and the abomination that now barks and spits in our homeland, how the Russians will fight and die for their homeland, if something happens ...

        Thank you guys for a lump in my throat, and tears in my eyes with pride and understanding that I am RUSSIAN like you!

        The whole world is looking at our guys in Syria. Without American window dressing, our guys are doing their job, doing their duty. These are not cinematic Stalone and Wilis, but real heroes. The Russian spirit is not an illusion and words, but something that sits in every Russian man, making him truly invincible. Let the earth rest in peace to all our dead guys.
        And of course we need to help the families of the victims.

      I saw this video the day before yesterday and noted this fighter for myself ... but I didn’t delve into the color of my uniform, I also thought: we must have Guys in the Syrian army! All drapanuli and this one stayed and fired to the end-Hero.
      And it turned out to be Russian soldier Andrey Timoshenkov!
      Glory and memory to you, Andrei!

    Oh sorry man. But he could not do otherwise. I couldn't. Because a Russian soldier. It's a shame that there was nothing larger-caliber to get these barmaley from afar. But this is so, rhetorically. Shaitan will sort them out there, who is there, behind the wheel, and what is in the car ...

      Large-caliber, there was a DShK - but the pickup truck with it draped first. There was also an ATGM - but they missed and the operator ran after a cart with a DShK. The tank missed and didn’t fire again in 40 seconds, they want no one to drape from there. A pickup truck with a ZU-23 fired several bursts (perhaps the box ran out) and the shooter wanted to drape behind a cart with a DShK, but ended up staying by the car.

      Pickup truck shooting does not work unfortunately at all. There, the driver’s layout is something like this - a sheet or two of steel and a window with a Humvee armored:


      MTO covers the armored muzzle in 2-3 sheets of steel.

      It could be stopped by a tank (missed), ATGM (similarly), DShK (escaped), ZU-23 (either the cartridges ran out, or the shooter was at a loss).

        A pickup with a ZU-23, a pickup with a DShK and a tank drove a suicide bomber in an open field with perfect visibility. And because of these deer in Russia there was a young widow with a daughter in her arms. No words, some mats. angry

          This can happen to anyone
          Recently, the Washington Post published an article citing an NSA officer as saying that on May 7 they failed to stop an ISIS vehicle carrying IEDs and prevent an attack due to a lack of anti-tank missile systems (ATGMs). We have photographic and video material in our possession, according to which, after this attack, the NSA probably received ATGMs from some foreign supplier.

            Any heroism is a consequence of someone's shortcomings.
            The thing is that this should not have been there. A colleague draws attention to gagging or the cowardice of guarding this event (I honestly don't want to think about betrayal) ...
            Why, this "jihadmobile" was able to drive up to the distance of guaranteed defeat at all. Where were our allies - the Syrians, why didn't they dare to fuck this car together with the driver on a flat surface like a board ...

    In an amicable way "Gazprom" should be so robust enough money to fit the family of the deceased.

    I think that our guys in Syria will appreciate it. Protecting the interests of the Motherland is not measured by the amount of money, although it is never superfluous, but there is no need to shout about it.
