They might be stakes from other mortars on the right, but the direct line to the director makes me suspicious.<br /><br />Plus, as Chief mentions, the casual disregard for the ammo (and indeed personal safety - no place to duck) tells me that this is for show, not actually to be fighting someone who can shoot back. <br /><br />Furthermore, that horizon looks to be a long way away. Machine gun fire can go a *long* way. No way that these folks are serious.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-72035756208494855262015-05-14T11:13:07.625-07:002015-05-14T11:13:07.625-07:00Chief, that was one of the most impressive verbal ...Chief, that was one of the most impressive verbal blasts this side of the Archbishop of Glasgow's Monition of Cursing. <br />Re: Saudis, with friends like these, who needs enemies?Big Daddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-43453733268762507372015-05-14T08:59:33.168-07:002015-05-14T08:59:33.168-07:00Yeah, they're pretty clearly in the "don&...Yeah, they're pretty clearly in the "don't give a shit" mode for counterbattery fire, which is fairly consistent with my experience with Saudi troops. Bunch of worthless ragbags.<br /><br />The ammo pisses me off as much as the gunline itself. Even eliding the whole "secondary explosion potential" just hucking those joes down on the sand without tarping them is pretty much guaranteed to produce some pretty significant errors in range as the things heat up during the day and cool off at night, plus the condensation is gonna produce some dud rounds down the road. Again, typical Saudis.<br /><br />Ael: At least one of the guns is firing, so if it's a photo op it's a live fire one. Frankly I wouldn't put it past the RSA to dick up the gunlaying as well as the overall firing position occupation.<br /><br />Fucking worthless Saudis; most worst "allies" ever.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-17327706613828025892015-05-13T23:08:15.539-07:002015-05-13T23:08:15.539-07:00Ael, I think that you've spotted the director/...Ael, I think that you've spotted the director/aiming circle.
