DKTanker Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Looks like that BMP is to reprise its amphibious role, hence the fenders.
Gavin-Phillips Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Wouldn't that "extra armour" snag on the moving tracks? I can see some model kits being made from this scene Best regards Gavin
Rod Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Not an armor picture but:Have these guys heard about "backblast"?

Rod Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 Village of Deera March 4, 2012Good shot of what appears to be an unimproved T-72 without the external fuel tanks although the set-up is there. Nice view of rear-turret. It indeed seems to be a small target compared to Western tanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ5DqWh0MDM&feature=player_embedded
crazyinsane105 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Rebels in Homs, Syria taking a page from Libyan rebels:Rebels in Homs, Syria taking a page from Libyan rebels: Whatever the hell that is versus T-55s and T-72s along with a plethora of BMPs and ZSUs....those rebels are definitely not on the upper hand. And the Syrian Air Force hasn't even been utilized yet either.
alejandro_ Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 BMP-1 hit by RPG? followed by the usual Allah Wabkar... it does get very irritating after the 70th time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=heJMOvlaqN0 Second BMP fires towards cameraman

Rod Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Maybe we need a new drinking game...every time you hear Allah Akbar after a mujahedin scores a tank you take a sip of your favorite drink... BMP-1 hit by RPG? followed by the usual Allah Wabkar... it does get very irritating after the 70th time...

Jim Warford Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 More Syrian T-72s... Shot at 2012-04-08 Shot at 2012-04-08 Shot at 2012-04-08
bojan Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 They still did not give those early T-72s proper side skirts?
X-Files Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Anyone know what the big box with the swimming pool ladder on the right rear of the turret is?Looks big enough to house an air-conditioner.http://cdn.theatlanticwire.com/img/upload/2012/04/11/RTR2Y6W3/large.jpgfromhttp://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2012/04/syria-promises-stop-fighting-again/51015/
X-Files Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah, it's a truck standing behind a tank. Damned tricky Syrians.
Jim Warford Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 More Syrian T-72s...I still think all these pics and the suddenly available video footage are pretty cool. Over the years, pics of Syrian T-72s (any Syrian tanks really), were almost non-existent. This is great... Shot at 2012-04-15 Shot at 2012-04-15 Shot at 2012-04-15
rhino Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Why the heck do they still have snorkels attached to the side of the turrets? How many rivers would the syrians have to cross if they decided to invade a nearby country?
CV9030FIN Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Why the heck do they still have snorkels attached to the side of the turrets? How many rivers would the syrians have to cross if they decided to invade a nearby country? Because it makes it a lot easier to carry tarp on your tanks!
Paul G. Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Why the heck do they still have snorkels attached to the side of the turrets? How many rivers would the syrians have to cross if they decided to invade a nearby country? I wud imagin it makes good beer can storage.
Stefan Kotsch Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Each Russian tank has its snorkel with itself at any time. With the T-72 it is fastened to the left turret side. Everything like it to be is.

Shot at 2012-04-15 Shot at 2012-04-15 Shot at 2012-04-15 Any pics so far about the upgraded T-72s by that Italian firm?
JW Collins Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Are these actually T-72As or T-72M1s? I thought the Soviets didn't export to the actual T-72A? Didn't the Syrians have some with K-5 ERA too?
alejandro_ Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Interesting article on Syrian imports of Russian equipment. Note AT missiles for tanks. OTOH those 1.000 tanks to be upgraded sound to me as overhauled... http://russiamil.wor...g/#comment-1645 Edited April 26, 2012 by alejandro_
DavidDCM Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Are these actually T-72As or T-72M1s? I thought the Soviets didn't export to the actual T-72A? Didn't the Syrians have some with K-5 ERA too? They are T-72M1 (see additional hull armour plate, 4 KMT sockets, lack of radiation lining).
