Re: Worlds Armed Forces Pictures III

Thanks for the pix BD, it's a hard time for you. I noticed the Georgian tanks, they look similar to the T-72/T-80, but they are heavily covered by ERA bricks. The ERA bricks are placed untidily, that they must be manually modified. Does ERA provide effective protection to the tanks, because I can see some Georgian tank heavily damaged and burnt from the news.

Check out the tires on that artillery.
Philippine army artillery reinforcements arrive in the remote village of Bagolibas in North Cotabato province, southern Philippines on August 12, 2008. Retreating Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels conducted an orgy of looting and burning after they were forced out from their positions by soldiers. The military and police poured more troops and intensified its artillery assault to flush out renegade Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels from some 22 villages they had occupied. The fighting erupted after the Supreme Court last week stopped government from signing a deal with the MILF that would have given them powers to control vast swathes of land in the south.
