★ ★ ★ . . . ★ ★ Questions? READ THIS FIRST ★ ★ . . . ★ ★ ★
★ Why they fire small arms at Tanks? ♦ To disable it by hitting its optics
★ Are Tanks made for urban warfare ? ♦ No, but that doesn't mean they're not useful in it
★ Where's the infantry ? ♦ Troops move inside buildings, out of view of the enemy (& cameras).
★ No artillery support? ♦ They have lots, but that's not always on these videos
★ Don't commanders know tactics? ♦ They're very experienced after 3+ years urban warfare
★ Why don't we see the enemy? ♦ Tank's optics see way more as a small camera.
★ Why not send IFVs instead? ♦ Tanks do way more damage & have far better armour
★ Aren't they sitting ducks for AT Guns? ♦ Tactics must make it hard to use them (+ ALNusra dont have many)
★ Do they shoot at empty buildings? ♦ Attacking troops & spotters radio in locating targets
★ . . ( rebels often hide to come back when the Tanks leave )
.
Of course Tanks do get hit but war is a deadly business
(btw: a Hit Tank doesn't always mean a Destroyed Tank, most get repaired in a few days.)
