helmand province, afghanistan – shortly after waking in the early morning of dec. 4, marines of golf company, 2nd battalion, 2nd marine regiment, gathered around a map of their area of operation, as their squad leader briefed the mission for that morning.
there was word of a possible ambush near the town of loy darwayshan, in garmsir, afghanistan. the marines planned a counter-attack.
keeping their eyes peeled for any signs of improvised explosive devices or enemy movement, the marines and afghan border police moved carefully through the flooded farmlands of southern afghanistan. mud caked onto their boots and cold water filled them as they moved, not only through fields, but through waist-deep irrigation canals.
after approaching the reported ambush site, the marines got into position and waited. when it was determined that the ambush wasn't taking place, the marines switched gears and began sweep for ieds.
"we went out to do a counter-ambush, and that didn't pan out," said lance cpl. matt a. dunn, a team leader with golf co., 2/2. "so we had to do something while we're out there, so we started sweeping for some of the hot spots for ieds and caches."
the marines broke into two teams, each with an attachment of local abp, to move through more fields of loy darwayshan and begin to search compounds, which couldn't be done without the help of the abp.
"this country doesn't have the systems set up like our country does," said sgt. joel c. quinnette, a squad leader with golf co., 2/2. "something as simple as a housing record, we can't go into a book and look up who lives in a place. we have to actually go talk to them."
these interactions are mainly done between the abp and the locals because of the cultural understanding.
"we know about the traditions of the people here," said gulbodin, an afghan border policeman. "when we go to the villages to talk to people, we go into the compounds first to talk to people, and the marines are after us."
quinnette added that the interaction with the locals is important for the abp for the future, when they are the only ones patrolling their country.
with the help of the locals an improvised explosive device was found by one team. two bags filled with ied-making materials, including pressure plates and command wire, was discovered by another.
"we've been finding a lot of them [ieds] before they hit us, and that's a good thing," said quinnette, from newark, del. "i'd rather find them before they find us."
increased confidence and communication between the abp and the local community has the allowed the marines to thwart ied emplacements and attacks.
"a lot of the information that we get, a lot of the finds that we do have, are from the people coming up to us and having someone who is native to the country that they can talk to," said quinnette. "then they can tell us, and that allows us to act on intelligence better."
but local help alone does not find the ieds. the marines also use their extensive training on how to find and how to react to them.
"patrols are rough on them, but all it takes is a little glint of a command wire and they're on it," said lance cpl. matt a. dunn, a team leader with golf co., 2/2. "my guys are good, they pay attention. they pay attention and they fall back on their training."
with one more ied down, the marines' work is not over, as they will continue to patrol and secure the area.
"they're working hard and doing phenomenal work," said gunnery sgt. walter w. diggs, the company gunnery sergeant for golf co., 2/2. "it's very humbling to watch them work."

quel chistrap, in od per i cinghiaggi e nero per quanto riguarda le parti laterali in pelle e il reggi nuca posteriore, si trova in tutti gli lwh presenti tuttora appartenenti alle squadre di fanteria!
nella foto è oltretutto applicata la neck protection in coyote brown (ne ho una, purtroppo in acu :'( , della crye.... )
fa molto bene il suo lavoro!
soprattutto con visore montato ti permette di fissare meglio l'helmet al cranio..
nell' usmc equipment se ne vedono un pò, con ega stampata nel retro....
se ti servono avevo messo un link della baya.... un tipo li dava a poco...:wink2:
sia il mich che l'ach invece sono forniti di chinstrap differenti, più semplici, senza parti in cuoio e stampe, spesso neri (l'msa, son sicuro, li fornisce neri....)...
scusate l'ot :wink2:

stupende, non so perchè ma i setup in a-stan mi fanno impazzire :)
avete notato che ultimamente si vedono molti più smaw che at4? forse perchè l'at4 è meno adatto per sfondare i bunker?
complimenti,bellissime foto!!!!
notare la quinta foto partendo a contare dal basso. sbaglio o quel marine al collo ha la bandana con il teschio che usano di solito i seals?

per comunicare.
il saw gunner, in genere, non si rende conto di quanto succede attorno, troppo preso dall'effetto 'tunnel' o dal runore assordante delle raffiche sostenute.
il servente, per comunicare, gli batte sulla spalla, oltre a renderlo un pò più stabile.
entrambi i lancia razzi possono utilizzare sia teste nate come cotrocarro,che antibunker (o simili) oltre altre tipologie (anche se lo smaw ne ha di più indicate contro i bunker)Quote:

la vera differenza è che lo smaw è riutilizzabile,oltre a porte cambiare tipo di razzo in qualsiasi momento,nel at4 tieni il razzo che montano in fabbrica,una volta usato butti tutto (idem il law72 che si vede nelle ultime foto)
il peso per quanto ti possa credere è sotto gli 8kg per entrambi i modelli (missile incluso) il law invece 2,5kg da carico

kunar?? mi sa che quello è un osama-hunter :d
bella foto, se non sbaglio è di quest'anno, però non riesco ad identificare il plate carrier :ach:
un osama hunter, addirittura? secondo me osama è stato disciolto nell'acido da qualche personaggio senza scrupoli del pakistan, oppure ha avuto un infarto con i trilioni di bombe che hanno tirato sulla sabbia in quei territori.
anche se vogliono ricostruire li non si potra vivere per almeno due secoli, per quello che hanno fatto. le bombe inesplose sono a migliaia (vedi presso la mosa tra germania e francia...manco a softair è sicuro giocare per le bombe inesplose che ci sono ;) ).
il pc è un nomralissimo pc, con cb. sporco come la mia mente lo vuole, io amo quello sporco. quello si che è ****** fubar ;)
molto bello vedere che portano ancora dei backpacks in od alice. huhuhuhuh fanno molto "ignorante" come si usa dire da qualche tempo nello stivale.
raptoru.s.m.c, si anche nella foto in cui sono in fila indiana (penso per le mine) e hanno come sfondo un truck, hanno tutti la bandana in neoprene abbassata.
comunque i seal portano una bandana un po' diversa non è quella che ci siamo tutti procurati, in quel tessuto inesistente quasi cartaceo, è una in neoprene morbida...spesso portano il balaclava (come è tutta roba "editata"...non prendono roba nel mercato).
e' come se quelle mezze ***** dei calciatori, usassero i guanti identici a quelli dei giocatori non di serie a. non è cosi. loro se li fanno personalizzare, con nome e cognome e altre cosette. (per fare un esempio easy).
ah è un peccato che la prima delle ultime foto messe quella con sfondo panoramico e i tre quattro tipi circa li aquattati o meno non sia tanto grande.
c'è l'ira de dios di equipaggiamenti li. devo ancora aprire diciamo il libro di operation de whealers e red wing però questa operation cobra se magari esce un libro, non è che non lo compro, fatelo sapere a mr. grunt se potete.
dicevo per dire, è nella provincia di kunar che si pensava fosse nascosto bin laden, ed è li che dalla primavera scorsa si sono intensificate le ricerche...
poi se dovessimo iniziare a discutere su dove sia realmente bin laden adesso ce ne sarebbe da parlare per ore :asd:
scusate la domanda idiota, ma quei "binari di sabbia" sono quelli creati da il braccio sminatore che hanno montato ultimamente sugli abrams? non riesco a capirlo....Quote:

ho un mio amico escavatorista, e nel parlare qualcosa son riuscito a comprendere.... (son scarsissimo in materia.... ho sempre e solo maneggiato caterpillar radiocomandati..:giggle: )
poi, non avendo mai visto un abram antimine e non sapendone le specifiche, è poi difficile.... con una buona lama sicuramente potrebbe anche far tutto da solo (non penso gli manchi della coppia...:) )

helmand province, afghanistan – a vehicle that looks like a hybrid of a tank and bulldozer comes to a stop. an enormous blast shrieks through the air and delivers 1,750 pounds of c4 on the road ahead.
the marine corps newest vehicle, an assault breacher vehicle, has detonated a route clearing, line charge, making its first combat assault in marine corps history.
the marine corps prepared the abv crew and the vehicle for combat for approximately two years. on the morning of dec. 3, the abv fired its first line charge during operation cobra's anger in now zad, afghanistan.
due to mass amounts of roadside bombs expected around now zad, abv's led the way for the operation by detonating numerous line charges on the path to the taliban stronghold, now zad.
pride in the abv's development and capability was obvious amongst the marines.
"there was no guidebook for this vehicle. we've had to develop our own tactics and procedures. i think that's awesome. it's very rewarding. this project is kind of like our baby. it's pretty amazing to see it all come together," said sgt. jeremy a. kinsey, an abv vehicle commander for 2nd combat engineer battalion.
abv's played a pivotal role in the mission. its demolition capabilities eliminated the taliban's ied threat on the foot mobile marines' breach into the city.
"a lot of people say the engineer community is the tip of the spear," said kinsey, from sunnyside, wash. "we have a saying: 'if we can't breach it, you can't reach it.' this operation is proving that. 3rd battalion, 4th marine regiment, said that if they didn't have our support, that this mission was a no go."
the marines of 2nd ceb referred to the front end of the vehicle as 'shredder' from the cartoon series, "teenage mutant ninja turtles," because of the vehicles pointed edges.
"we heard that the taliban's radio communication said, 'get out, because the big boom is coming,'" said kinsey. "i'd have to say; just the intimidation factor is enough to make anyone run. i know i wouldn't want 1,750 pounds of c4 blowing up were i'm at."
a moral affect on the enemy was realized by the abv marines.
"i know the taliban didn't want to give up this position and we took it very quickly," said kinsey. "all they really have left is marjeh. to take something so important to the taliban, so quickly, is like a big slap in the face for them."
the marines successes in now zad opened doors for future operations for the abv and confirmed what they already believed.
"i believe our actions have proven our capabilities and will result in us employed more frequently," kinsey said. "before this mission, they didn't know what we were capable of. now that the marine corps knows we can [fight], i think we will be used more."
"i was proud and excited to do something that's never been done before in the marine corps," said lance cpl. randy j. davis jr., an abv operator for 2nd ceb. "hopefully it helped the marine corps grow. this vehicle allows us to go through rougher terrain faster and i think the percentage of ied's will go down with the use of this vehicle."
although the marines engaged in combat, many wished they could have done more.
"i was actually hoping for more resistance, said davis. "i think our explosion ran them all off. i was happy to fight for my country. we came out here to kill taliban and liberate the peaceful people of now zad. all the taliban kicked out the afghan civilians. now were just trying to give them back what's theirs."
the marines could not be more pleased with the abv's performance.
"the performance of the new abv's was outstanding to say the least and i couldn't be happier with the mission and the opportunity," said davis jr. "we paved the way for 3/4 lima company to clear the city. i feel it's an honor to fight with my brothers in battle."
"these vehicles have been doing great," said lance cpl. brian s. rutledge, an abv mechanic for 2nd ceb. "we haven't needed to do much maintenance with these vehicles. we were right there in case anything broke down, but it didn't. we've done more work for other units than our own."
the tight knit family of the abv marines suffered a loss before their deployment. out of love and respect, they dedicated their first vehicle to their fellow marine.
"i dedicated this vehicle in honor of 2nd lt. mevey, our first platoon commander who died in a motorcycle accident," kinsey said. "i think it would mean a lot to him that this abv was the first to fire a line charge in combat, breach in combat, plow through a compound, and survive an ied blast. i think he would be very proud."
quindi leggendo qui, credo che non siano stati i bulldozer ma questi nuovi mezzi antimina d'assalto.
se ci fai caso non è dotato di armamenti pesanti, ma di una corazzatura molto più spessa e rinforzata degli abrams normali
così ad occhio direi che è progettato per stare alla testa dei convogli, sminare, e battere la strada per i mezzi al seguito.
questo spiegherebbe anche i "binari" di sabbia, utili a definire meglio il tracciato da seguire
hai ragione shark! dalla foto di dimensioni ridotte non avevo notato bene le lame dell'assault breacher vehicle... sicuramente utilizzano questi per spianare la strada...
i cat invece li utilizzeranno in ambienti già bonificati...
notavo dalla foto che hanno comunque poco di serie per la cabina.... chissà quanto devono esser spessi quei vetri...:-|
grazie per le info. comunque io sono riuscito a trovare un balaclava nero con un teschio davanti. non l ho mai visto nelle foto, di solito vedevo la classica bandana.Quote:
