The boyz over in the other links to this story already ID’d the round. The enhanced vid is a nice touch. That’s also a spectacular tank round. Very effective.

Getting that close to the target can be painfull, Dumbasses will never learn. You go out and embed with terrorist against someone with superior technology is not the recipe for a long life.

When your enemy can see you better than you can see them you’re in trouble. I wonder if this ever occured to them? I’m sure the gunner in that Merkova had these dopes crosshaired for some time before they cut loose.

Does this mean I can get a job as a researcher at Fox? I’d really appreciate being introduced to Reena…

Laid next to a “duster” that broke up a ground attack with instantanious air burst in the Delta in 68. Artillery, any size, you gotta love it!

Okay - one more time for the slow ones… If you put your camera up on your shoulder and point it at a tank in a war zone, expect to die! The tankers can’t tell the difference between a shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon and your (probably al Qaeda-symathetic) camera.

How many times has this happened? Three or four by my count…

Is there any proof that this guy was a terrorist?

Route Irish in ‘03, had a dude in a blacked-out Mercedes cut across the median toward a convoy, jump out, throw a black object up on his shoulder. He ate some coax from the lead brad. Turned out to be a reporter with a camera. Shit happens.

Seriously, how can you assume he’s a terrorist? Because he’s a Palestinian? So if a reporter or cameraman gets killed by al qaeda or hamas, then and only then it’s wrong? But if Israeli soldiers kill reporters, it’s okay, and the reporters deserve it? You people are sick.

To Andy - did you read all above? Man, what do your expect from tank gunner found somebody pointing something on him from a shoulder? What do you think about ‘reporter’ trying to film an armor in the battlefield - right upfront of its gun? What could you do instead of armor crew? And instead of the ‘reporter’? Would you even try to film an armor in battlefild upfront? Come on, tell us your thoughts. BTW, this ‘reporter’ found a nice way to commit suicide - may be got financial troubles before..
