topol-m Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Tank destroyed by a grenade thrown in it's barrel? How did that happen? Shouldn't it just blow out of the barrel just like a shell? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjordmonkey Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Tank destroyed by a grenade thrown in it's barrel? How did that happen? Shouldn't it just blow out of the barrel just like a shell? The only way I can see this happening is if the gun-breech is open. Then a grenade MIGHT do enough damage to things inside in order to set it off. That being said, I do think this tank was already abandoned. Why? Well, first of all, it doesn't make much sense for one tank to operate on it's own, and it DEFINITELY doesn't make any sense for the tank to not keep its head on a swivel, so to speak. Third clue: The engine isn't running. Even at that distance, you should be able to hear it if it was. Russians are not familiar for building quiet things. Last clue: I think the commander and/or crue of the tank would have seen the grenade-handling person as he approached, especially on the second time, and that despite tanks being creatures with notoriously poor eyesight up close. Regards Fjordmonkey Clustermunitions is just another way of saying that you don't like someone. I used to like people, then people ruined that for me.

159th_Viper Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Given that the tank had been abandoned, it would have made more sense to use it. 1- They would not know how to. 2 - Would have seriously cramped their 'Allah's Snackbar' moment.

Fjordmonkey Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 1- They would not know how to. Operating a tank, and especially a russian T-72 which this seems to be, isn't all that hard. A few hours of instruction by someone competent on it (which isn't hard to find among Syrian army defectors) and a few hours practice, and you're competent enough to operate it. Be effective? Probably not. But competent? Yes. This isn't nuclear physics, and it's a tank rather well known for not being the most complicated creature out there.
