Well our Navy comandos are called Formoza this guys can be them not GROM but i don't reamember is Formoza using mp5 i've seen them only with MiniBeryl so maybe GROM:)
BTW Formoza was also doing their job in gulf abord logistic ship ORP X.Czarniecki bording ships etc. I've heard that Czarnecki is going to change in SFOperations Ship and we build few bigger logistic ships (in future also desant and helicopter ships) but who knows Poland isn't rich country:(

Those are GROM Boat Troop blokes. Formoza - which is the polish equivalent for the US Navy Seals - for sure uses MP5s in all possible configurations. There were less then 6 Formoza commandos on board the ORP Czarniecki *logistics/SF base ship* in the Gulf but they were mainly for force protection duties. As we know ORP Czarniecki was one of the floating bases for the Joint Special Forces Command in Iraq and US Navy Seals and probably Australian SF were based on board.
take care

The [ten year old] boy, Mahamoud al-Qayed, was killed by a shell fired by an Israeli tank in the Gaza Strip near
the Israeli agricultural community of Nahal Oz while hunting for birds with a net and string, a witness
and medics said.

An Israeli military source said soldiers opened fire at suspicious figures handling an electric cable in
an area where explosives are often planted against troops, and that one Palestinian was hit while two
others fled.

All.. Major combat over in Iraq....right....

Bull **** it aint....

[ArmoredDov_D9]

Why Palestinian kids and ISM pro-terror nutcases are looking for trouble?

They enter dangerous battle zone which are banned and closed for civilians, running around heavy armoured vehicles and try to get themselves killed for the sake of anti-Israeli propoganda.

BTW, today the IDF arrested the Islamic Jihad mastermind which planned the suicide bombing in Maxim Restaurant in Haifa which claimed the lives of 21 innocent people: among them 2 families, 4 childrens and 1 baby girl.

In adittion, 5 terrorists were killed after clashes with IDF forces.

[Kriz]

Great series of pics, as usual ! woot

[hood]

what's odd is that the blackhawk crash looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. I'd be curious to know where the RPG was fired from and how far the blackhawk got before crashing, as it's pretty far away from town. Was the guy just standing in the middle of the forest waiting for it? Are the BH's using preditable flight routes?

[He219]

They aren't looking for trouble or to get killed either, Palestinian kids live there, in territories the IDF occupies. How are ISM pro-terror; do they partake in suicide bombings or are they terrorists for not approving of measures taken against the general Palestinian populus?

The terrorists and IDF make the occupied territories a battle zone. Look at the captions, Jenin, Gaza Strip, Nablus, etc. - the Palestinians live there, and so do their children. Are they banned from living in what has become a war zone? They are totally fearless and jaded by violence. If they get killed it certainly serves the purposes of anti-Israeli propaganda. Remember, the IDF is occupying Palestinian lands and engaging in combat against terrorists it is pursuing there, the civilians living there have to be considered as humans with a worldwide audience. Your 'propaganda' and violence may very well be self-induced through the occupation itself.

Excellent! We need more news like that; successful apprehensions, that is. Ultimately a cesation of violence on both sides is what we really want :D

Curious, those 5 killed in clashes with IDF forces, what made them terrorists?

Just a different way of looking at it...

Cheers, D9!

:D


Thanks Kriz!


I Bet the BH was hit by an IR seeker, and not a lucky RPG hit in flight. Not much cover needed to hide a MANPAD and much better range...

Just my .02

What's happend if I say that's a french firetruck certainly build after 2000? :D

French fire truck or mobile chemical weapons platform?!? :)

[usa320]

They should cease all day time helo flights. They are just as effective at night, without as much of a threat from RPG's.

About 4 of the terrorists were killed around closed border zones or near Israeli fences.

As for ISMers: they encourage Palestinian suicide bombers and were paid a visit by the 2 Brits terrorist who bombed theirselves in Mike's Place Tel-Aviv Bar-Cafe. The ISM also hid Jihad terrorist, Shadi Soukia, in its offices in Jenin. That's why they are terror-supporters.

As I said before, the specific incident which was reported here occured near a border zone closed for civilians.
Secondly, were a gunfight is erupting in a middle of city, you except the civilians hide in their houses and make sure their children lie safe under their beds whether then sending them to the stand in front of the shooter and pray to get killed live on CNN.

You saw the picture, those kids weren't innocent bypasser, they were looking for troubles.

Attempts of murdering Israelis.

communism works only in theory

people are not equal so ther cant be treatment equalit becose it is not justice :bash:

We (in old times) had a saying:
"czy się leży czy się stoi 2000 się należy"

"You are lying or you are standing ,you will own 2000"(sorry for the translation)

[Herrmannek]

"Capitalism is on edge of bankrut but Communis is always one step ahead" :)

[Sabre]

Communism only works just in theory as long as you are too greedy to make it work. I'm sure if you lived in a third world country living hand-to-mouth you would be more inclined to make it work.

That's the position most communist countries have come from (eg: russia, korea, Vietnam, Cuba etc). If all these poor countries turned communist, removing them from the global capitalist system (which relies on there being a poor and rich differential in order to work), then in order for the fat cats to maintain their standard of life and profit levels, such a differential would have to be set up inside the US (and other western countries) leading to a massive split between rich and poor.

We can see evidence of this today, with the gap widening as we speak. Even now, 12% of americans are below the poverty line.

You wouldn't want that to happen to yourself, now would you? That's why people took a stand and turned communist. That's also why the US, mainly, wanted to erradicate communism. It prevented the few from gaining massive wealth and power. (Unfortunately, a few took over in Stalinist countries and f***ed it all up)
