Helicopter pilot defected with his helicopter to Turkey. This happened a couple of weeks ago but this is the first look of the helicopter.

It's epic fail. This is in reality Mi-24V from Kiev museum (in Ukraine)

I posted a second video of the destruction from this same helicopter a few pages back. Looks like the whole town is burning.

I call bs on this: Why would Assad be stupid enough to use chem/bio weapons when there's Alawite neighborhoods in Homs? The wind changes, his own soldiers who are posted in those neighborhoods are done unless they all have gas masks, which I have seen none of so far. He can shell away at entire cities and get away with it, he doesn't need gas.

Syrian BMP parking problems. Looks like he wants out of the street backwards because of possible ambush ahead and makes an arse of it.

If you're referring to the video I posted, I dunno. Something to do with the assassination of somebody important from the Syrian Army I'm assuming. Wish we had an Arabic speaking member who posted here to help us out. It's on my list of languages to learn.

I don't know, they may have something there...
Maybe if they could nail some sheet metal to the front of the tires, it would make some pretty effective improvised spaced armor.
But, you're right, the tires just by themselves are going to do little or nothing.

You might try getting a clue too when dismissing a revolution as an insurgency when it's ranks include many senior officers of his own army....even those who have served it for 3 decades or more.

Here is the latest - a brigadier general of the supposedly loyal airforce.

Revolution, Insurgency, and Rebellion are all basically the same thing. They are all armed groups attempting to rise up against an Administrative Force. It's funny really, the way the words are used often based on who you ask. Take the Iraq War for example. Western News Media labelled the Iraqi fighters as "insurgents" and "terrorists". Eastern sources often labelled them as "Revolutionaries" or "Freedom Fighters" fighting against "Western Oppression". Now look at Syria and Libya. Western sources have called these fighters Revolutionaries and Freedom Fighters, while Eastern sources label them insurgents and terrorists. Now look at the war in Iraq and Syria, and they are very similar: same tactics, same weapons, same sectarian violence.Revolutionary is commonly seen as a positive words, while Insurgent is a negative word. It all comes down to who you ask.
Now think about this: Assad is a jackass who oppresses his own people like his father and those before him did. Syria is a country with a lot of Sectarian violence, as seen in the revolution where Sunni's, Shiites, Baathists etc. are fighting against each other. Assad is only part of the problem. He could die today and his government be overthrown, but what will this change? There will still be sectarian violence in Syria, and even if Assad is overthrown, who's to say another oppressive government won't replace him?
