#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.

#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.

#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!

#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

My bad. 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.
