The CIA is fucking with me. I did an interesting google search and got two warning calls within 3 minutes of each other. That's okay though because I fuck with them. I respect that.

Look at the pic on the far right. If the US truly did send Javelins in Syria, it would have been a serious escalation. And a stupid idea tbqh.

Noah Cook
>I was referring to if the FSA niggers got them directly as part of Timber Sycamore. Well that's never going to happen. Can't afford Javelins on the black market in any notable quantity.
Robert Adams
>Can't afford Javelins on the black market in any notable quantity. One would suspect that the gorrillions of dollars invested into the jihadis would have helped them with that. What a money-drain.
Jacob Gomez
Can't afford to give out top-attack ATGMs, not because they're too expensive, but because they would start popping M1A2 SepV3s like they were T-55s.
Right, can't risk ruining one product. In retrospect, that almost happened regardless, according to the article you posted. Javelin's "disappearing" in Iraq and all that.
Ryan Lopez
Yeah, but there's luckily only a few of them "missing", so the casualties wouldn't be that great. Nothing they haven't already lost to IEDs.
Matthew Miller
they're still a serious threat if there is a big amount of ammunition for the javelins
Sebastian Nelson
We're past that point though when you have Kornets that can penetrate mutt DU getting in the hands of FSA
Christian Cox
Kornets can't frontally penetrate M1A2 turrets with the non-export Burger armor.
But I read that DU is equivalent to 1200mm rolled steel in frontal projection. Kornets can go through 1300mm
Adam Watson
>Kornets can't frontally penetrate M1A2 turrets with the non-export Burger armor. Has a kornet actually ever been fired at non-export burger armor? They can take out merkavas you know.
>But I read that DU is equivalent to 1200mm rolled steel in frontal projection Against HEAT or kinetic penetrators?
>Has a kornet actually ever been fired at non-export burger armor? Probably not. >They can take out merkavas you know. But from what angle, hit where and what's Merkava's armor like?
Camden Nguyen
i hate amerikikes so fucking much, they sell arabs shit versions of their equipment to test them out, so do russian shits.
Don't blame the equipment for the poor performance of arabs.
Isaac Ramirez
>But from what angle, hit where and what's Merkava's armor like? Frankly i have no clue, but you should find this out yourself before you claim anything about the capability of the kornet.
Jason Turner
how you want your nukes abdul?
slightly rusted? sub-prime warheads? I can get you a great deal on decommissioned surplus, bargain bin prices. Guarantee full refund in the event of a misfire. Buy the complete radiation safety package for complementary medical services, the bombs can be a bit leaky.
Well, make your own equipment if you dislike the one sold to you.
Christian Reed
Maybe you would prefer if they genocided arabs outright instead of selling you advanced weaponry you couldn't even dream of producing? I know i do atleast.
Tbqh I don't know. I'm trying to find sauce but I literally can't find anything about uranium armor RHA equivalents in any generation.

Bolton Claims Russia 'Stuck' in Syria, Says US Has Leverage in Negotiations
US National Security Advisor John Bolton claimed that Washington has an opportunity in terms of negotiations as Russia is "stuck" in Syria.
"Just to be clear, regime change in Iran is not American policy. But what we want is massive change in the regime's behavior," he said.
"We're going see what we and others can agree in terms of resolving the conflict in Syria. But the one prerequisite there is the withdrawal of all Iranian forces back to Iran," National Security Advisor said during the interview.
Well fug, in that case we're just meming at each other. Russia stronk. Kornet can penetrate 10 Abrams Sep V3 turrets in a row and still have enough energy to penetrate Obama's ass.
Jaxson Martinez
>swedish tank destroyer The 103 was classified as a MBT and did not see combat. Hell, the thing even has wheels, it's probably a burger APC.
>regime change in Iran is not American policy figures, kh*mmies were amerimutt pets from the get-go, they just got out of their leash >us not stuck in syria good, so this means they'll abandon the k.rds or what?
Tyler Davis
>Well fug, in that case we're just meming at each other. It's not really memeing as much as conjecture. The turret on the Abrams is thick and upgraded enough to almost certainly be capable of stopping 1300mm RHA equivalent chemical penetrators. Compare it to the Swedish Leo 2A4 modification in and you can see most of the frontal armor in it is capable of stopping a Kornet. Also estimates imply the same. > The protection of M1A2 SEP is a frontal turret armor estimate of 940–960 mm vs APFSDS and 1,320–1,620 vs HEAT, glacis estimate of 560–590 mm vs APFSDS and 510–1,050 vs HEAT, and lower front hull estimate of 580–650 mm vs APFSDS and 800–970 vs HEAT[78] By Zaloga.
Nolan Harris
>implying Boltons ravings are anything other than white noise
But are those tests against tandem HEAT like the Kornet? Also Kornet is 1300mm after ERA. Tbqh there's so much shit to these tests I don't even know any more.
David Rodriguez
lmao
Nolan Green
It's conjecture, like I said. Classified. Someone might have leaked the Abrams' specs of course, but I can't be bothered to look for it.
