More than ten years ago, Mao Xiong suffered from being suppressed by Western public opinion circles in the field of propaganda, and determined to establish an international media that could stand up to BB.
It worked, and this is ‘Russia Today’!
Today, 'RT' has achieved great success in external publicity. Whether in Europe, the United States, or elsewhere, it has gained hundreds of millions of viewers. Its influence is growing day by day.
Mao Xiong opened such a TV station not just to entertain the public. Their goal is to gain an advantage in the global information confrontation. They work hard to improve the image of Russia, which naturally includes improving the image of the Russian military and equipment.
The Iranian army supporting Syria won the battle against ISIS. This is battlefield news that must be reported. Especially in the Middle East, such technical battles as tank battles are rare, and Iran's victory is a rare material.
(I firmly refuse to consider the battle in which the Saudi armored forces were violently beaten by the Yemeni guerrillas as a tank battle. Those scumbags simply insulted such a noble weapon as the tank.
By the way, I want to curse General Dynamics, the American company that sells parallel imports. The front of the tank turret that is supposed to have the strongest defense was penetrated by an old AT-4. The Abrams will cry.)
Although the scale of this battle was small, the two sides only invested less than thirty tanks in total for the exchange of fire. The tactics were even more lackluster, and it was just a line-up to kill the target. However, many key problems still emerged.
But for the sake of Russia's face, 'RT' did not talk about the problems no matter how many questions it had. The host downplayed the destruction of his own T-72, and did not even say what tank was destroyed. Instead, he criticized the VT-4 used by Iran.
Pick up your nose horizontally and raise your eyes vertically.
In the news column of the English channel of ‘RT’, a so-called authoritative expert from the Russian military said to the camera, ‘Rabbit once showed a very strong interest in our T-90S.
That was the only advanced tank in the world that they had access to, so they wanted to visit our T-90S production line, but we refused.
Although we have sold T-90S to foreign countries, we will not easily export T-90S to Rabbit. Because once Rabbit masters the technical details of T-90S, they will definitely copy it.
In fact, we know that the rabbits are very thirsty for our T-90S. It is because they cannot build tanks like the T-90S that they produce mediocre equipment like the VT-4.
Although the current mixed armored force of the Iraqi-Syrian coalition has achieved a good battlefield advantage in al-Bab, I am actually not optimistic about the current battle situation in al-Bab."
The authoritative expert on the Russian military paused deliberately to whet his appetite, and the beautiful female news anchor immediately asked, "The Iraqi-Syrian coalition forces fought well today, why are you not optimistic about them?"
The Russian military authority thought: Is lining up to be shot called a good fight? The Iranians have just learned how to drive a tank, and there is still a long way to go before they truly understand how to fight. But I won't say that now.
The authority continued: "Because during today's battle, we discovered that a T-90S lost by the Syrian government forces appeared in the armored forces of ISIS.
This powerful tank is a threat that cannot be ignored. The primary reason why the Iranian tank forces did not immediately pursue the ISIS armored forces after gaining an advantage was the threat posed by this T-90S.
The victory during the day was actually a bit of a fluke, as the T-90S did not take part. If it had joined the battle, its excellent performance would have caused heavy casualties to the Iraqi-Syrian coalition forces.
It is too early to judge whether al-Bab's Iraqi-Syrian coalition will win. I must remind them, pay attention to T-90S, pay attention to T-90S, pay attention to T-90S, it will make victory pass you by."
Seeing such a conclusive warning from the authority of the Russian military, the audience in front of the TV immediately felt that their superiority was erected. It sounds like ISIS has some kind of big killer weapon in its hands. Once used, it will definitely pose a major threat.
Maybe it will turn around.
And just when the female host also expressed concern about the situation on the front line, she suddenly pressed the headphones next to her ears and listened for a while, then looked at the live broadcast camera with a slightly panicked look.
"According to the latest news, al-Bab's ISIS troops launched a night attack. They dispatched all the tanks on hand, including the T-90S. This terrible tank indeed played a huge role. The Iraqi-Syrian coalition forces are in a
On the verge of collapse."
Ouch..., the audience's hearts suddenly lifted.
And on the Bab front...
The rumble of artillery sounded in the dark night, and the acrid smoke of gunpowder blew in the cold wind. Zarqawi, who occupied half of the city, decided to make a desperate move, because he was cornered and could not survive without giving up.
The live broadcast of the execution was disrupted, and Zarqawi not only failed to gain huge power, but instead became a touchstone for others to show off their skills. And the all-out assault out of shame during the day did not work out, and the precious tanks were knocked out instead.
If three vehicles were lost, 20 to 30% of the more than 1,000 troops would be lost.
You must know that although ISIS is supported by the CIA, the CIA does not dare to directly support this hateful terrorist organization, so the heavy equipment in the hands of ISIS can only be captured on the battlefield. Originally, you can gain benefits every time you fight against the government forces.
But today we lost three T-72s...
Zarqawi lost a quarter of his armor strength. He was heartbroken!
The successive losses forced Zarqawi to win a victory to inspire people, otherwise he would be immediately replaced by someone more brutal in an organization as inhumane as ISIS.
Now Zarqawi is sitting in a pickup truck and directing the battle. He puts all his hopes on a T-90S next to him. The reason is simple. Compared with the T-72, which has lagged behind in performance, this car was replaced by the T-90S not long ago.
The main battle tanks delivered by the Russian army to the Syrian government forces are indeed more advanced.
The armor is thicker, the fire control is better, and the main gun is more powerful. The T-90S that launches an impact will be a sharp spearhead, most suitable for launching armored attacks.
In order to win, Zarqawi also put some thought into it. He ordered the larger number of T-72s to attack first, but at the same time ordered the T-90S to lead a detour to launch a side attack from the other side of the city.
Don’t underestimate this simple change and tactical coordination. On the battlefield in the Middle East, it is terrorist organizations such as ISIS that are most tactically clever and have succeeded frequently.
When the rumble of the tank's impact sounded, Zarqawi led all his men in a collective charge. They followed the tank and moved forward, chattering. In order to make his men more courageous, Zarqawi even
I gave my men some stimulants from the CIA beforehand.
When they were suddenly attacked from two sides at night, when bullets were flying everywhere, and when contradictory or even wrong orders made people unable to adapt, the Iraqi-Syrian coalition forces south of Bab City soon became difficult to cope with.
In the dark night, soldiers who lack training and night vision equipment often cannot find officers, and the sudden sound of gunfire and roaring artillery add to the confusion.
When the gunfire sounded, Zhou Qingfeng, who had just finished eating, immediately thought of joining his companions. But he was met by a wave of running Syrian soldiers rushing over. More than a hundred people walked in a mess and bumped into Zhou Qingfeng.
, knocking him around and knocking him around.
Being pushed and shoved, Zhou Qingfeng couldn't bear it even though he was extremely capable. He found that his physical strength, which was twice that of an ordinary person, was of no use in this situation, and he could not withstand the continuous impact. In order to avoid being beaten by others,
He was pushed to the ground and had to run along with the flow of people.
This is the end of the run...everyone is in chaos!
