Nothing is happening anywhere, besides that US Marine killed in Iraq.

According to pro rebel sources, ISIS has launched an attack on the industrial city of Sheikh Najjar in Aleppo.
They also reported that pro ISIS sources claimed ISIS took control of the village of Kafar Saghir, just North of the industrial city.
>>29319991
Unlike methinks. Though the idea of a larger isis campaign against the SNIC to join the battle of aleppo has been floating around since years.
But with the desperate situation in eastern aleppo province its very likely just a small diversion.
>>29320031
The claims of them seizing Kafar Saghir are from pro ISIS sources which could be wrong.
All we know is that ISIS launched an attack, so it might be just diversion.
As I like to say from time to time, it is best to wait for more updates and reports. We will see how serious ISIS is about this attack.

I often think about the posts antman made when he was alive and I actually consider some of the things he said made sense in terms of war and military and other stuff.
Our military is a bunch of faggots.

As usual this thread is for the discussion and pics of tracked and wheeled AFVs of all kinds from MBTs to supertanks to self propelled AA guns. Please keep it civil and cite sources for statistics.
The most important precept in keep in mind regarding the role of the tank arm in the Great War, is that it was by no means, a war winning weapon. As stupendous of an achievement as it was in terms of technological progress, the tank was but in its infancy,...

>The Birth of the Land Ship (1/3)
The idea of a mechanised land vehicle on tracks predate the war projects of the First World War, stretching back to even the 19th century, as inventors of all stripes built upon their expertise regarding steam propulsion and locomotive technology to envision vehicles of a more versatile sort. However, the most concrete start to the evolution of the tank in the shape that it would see the battlefield is undoubtedly the formation of the Landships Committee...

>The Birth of the Landship (2/3)
It was here while development was stuck in a rut that an enterprising Army officer, Colonel Ernest Swinton, came on behalf of the War Office to observe the proceedings. Tritton and Wilson confided in Swinton of hitherto unrevealed plans for an even more ambitious design, one where tracks appeared to run all around the tank’s body. The advantages would be enormous, especially where mobility was concerned, yet the biggest hurdle was the lack of an adequate British crawler track design, where the Americans led...

>The Birth of the Landship (3/3)
From this point on, the biggest debate and point of contention was on what kind of armament to put on the tank. In the end, the Admiralty settled upon existing stocks of weapons, namely the Six Pounder, Single Tube, a 1915 modification of the Hotchkiss 57 mm. It was characterised by a long 2280 mm barrel and a maximum range of 7500 yards at a muzzle velocity of 554 m/s. Two problems confronted the designers regarding the placement of the weapon: the conundrum of how to add a turret to house the gun without affecting the tank’s centre of gravity adversely and the fact that any gun would have to be placed directly above the engine, without room (or even suitable conditions, being next to a white hot engine) for the crew. Upon directive from Eustace d’Eynecourt (a familiar name to those aware of The Old Gang), the designers adopted side sponsons, fitted to a pedestal base offering 100 degrees of fire. To prevent the crewmen (a loader and a gunner for each sponson) being crushed against each other, there were slight differences in the layout of each sponson station, consequently with the port one off by 5 degrees ahead, while the starboard gun could fire straight ahead. The tank in question had many names; the Admiralty still called it Little Willie; it was officially known as HMLS Centipede, but it has also been known by Mother. On 29 January 1916, it gave a live demonstration in front of Hatfield House, conquering marshes, trenches and barriers, to the delight of everyone present, and the peculiar indifference of War Lord Kitchener. 100 machines were immediately ordered, and the Ministry of Munitions now took on the responsibility, along with personnel and advice from the Admiralty.
