Decision not to fight, was solely on our (Czechoslovak) government.. and it was a bad one. Czechoslovak army could effectively fight Germans, it had equipment superiority in practically everything besides fighter aircraft... And what more do you need?Czechoslovak delegation was outside conference room, they were aloved in only to sign document.

Nice. ERA worked and the attacking roaches were crushed. It didnt. If you watch the longer video, you can see the crew bailing out, and the tank trundling on down the road a couple of hundred yards before exploding. They also killed a BTR82.

On Chamberlain and Halifax, on "better Hitler then Blum" leadership. Hitler didnt take Czechoslovakia it was given to him by England and France, Czechoslovakian allies. So at the end it seams that you are wrong and that "western" allies couldnt and shouldnt be trusted. After all who planed operation "Unthikable" while still in war with Germany and while still alied with SU? Ok, couple of things. Please dont say 'England' when what you clearly mean is Britain. Its like calling Germans Prussians. Secondly, I read a book recently that suggests that it was NOT quite as straightforward as everyone in the British Government selling the Czechs out. There was a considerable disagreement when Lord Halifax went to meet Hitler in 1937, to the point where Anthony Eden was throwing as many roadblocks out as he could to Halifax and Chamberlain, to the point of having someone in the Foreign Office inform the press before it happened.

Again, good spot, I missed that. Judging by the spot to that tank is about the same as that to the tank they hit, I think either that was NLAW used in the direct mode (which I dont understand, it would have been easy to go for a top attack like the other one). Or its something else, like RPG7 or RPG22. As I understand, NLAW is only advised for direct attack against soft targets or possibly flank attacks. If they are using it that way frontally against a Tank, they screwed up. And probably died for it sadly, unless they have a far better emplaced firing positions than is evident from that angle.

Agree, that RPG team probably was screwed even when they did manage to inflict damage. They have no where to retreat safely. My conscript time I was trained as a RPG team infantry (and as a tank gunner/loader for our company target practise) it seems very poor ambush position.

Amazing how well the burning tank keeps on course. The fire you see is probably just some stuff stored on the turret burning or a nice edit by the fascists liars in the Ukraine.

Surprising how long it took to start shutting down the civilian comms: maybe part of their initial 'no collateral damage' policy, even though it's a deadly risk for the invading force.

Stuart Galbraith Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yes, its just one more example of them expecting to take Ukraine without a fight. No wonder there are increasing rumours he has arrested the senior FSB leadership, they probably told him what he wanted to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
