| This is a one time deal not to be repeated. (It was a royal pain in Yahoo.) I think I uploaded all the posted files. My eyes are crossing so I am not sure. These are the Iran Wargame photos I posted as being on UseNet Sat. Watch as individual clicks or a slide show. |

Nice find. Thanks for posting them. > > Also, what's the story with the half dozen or so 132-part files you > posted towards the end of the series?

They don't have a file extension at the end and I didn't check. Put .jpg on the end and they'll work okay. They came up okay in my browser and I just right-clicked 'em into a folder and posted them from there. Regards, PLMerite |

| #16 It appears that the Iranian troops either don't believe in overhead cover Poorly trained and led troops don't dig in, camouflage their positions, do range cards, etc. Thanks, 3dc |

| #14 This photo, 13_8501170180_L600, of the tug with the huge forward superstructure landing the helicopter, is one of my favorites. Talk about a radar cross section begging for a hit! |

| #5 interesting how they are all (bar one) shots taken in good daylight hours - my point being what capability do the Iranians have to scrap during the night time? my guess is that 95% of that stuff is useless at night time, thats gotta be a big kicka for them if they wanted to keep tempo fast on any ops they might try. |

| #1 It appears that the Iranian troops either don't believe in overhead cover, or the environment is so devoid of timbers or other structural supports to make such cover possible. Just stand off and rain VT artillery down on them, and they're history. |
