READ THIS FIRST ★ ★ . . . ★ ★ ★\r<br>★ Why they fire small arms at Tanks? ♦ To disable it by hitting its optics\r<br>★ Are Tanks made for urban warfare ? ♦ No, but that doesnt mean theyre not useful in it\r<br>★ Wheres the infantry ? ♦ Troops move inside buildings, out of view of the enemy (& cameras).\r<br>★ No artillery support? ♦ They have lots, but thats not always on these videos\r<br>★ Dont commanders know tactics? ♦ Theyre very experienced after 3+ years urban warfare\r<br>★ Why dont we see the enemy? ♦ Tanks optics see way more as a small camera.\r<br>★ Why not send IFVs instead? ♦ Tanks do way more damage & have far better armour\r<br>★ Arent they sitting ducks for AT Guns? ♦ Tactics must make it hard to use them (+ ALNusra dont have many)\r<br>★ Do they shoot at empty buildings? ♦ Attacking troops & spotters radio in locating targets\r<br>★ . . ( rebels often hide to come back when the Tanks leave )\r<br>.\r<br>Of course Tanks do get hit but war is a deadly business\r<br>(btw: a Hit Tank doesnt always mean a Destroyed Tank, most get repaired in a few days.)\r<br>\r<br>♫D.Dɪɢɪᴛᴀʟ 5.1
