Holy shit that last guy with the rocket launcher. That was fired at a range of what, 50 feet tops? I thought rocket launchers were incapable of even detonating at that short of a range
I think these are homebrew Al-Yassin 105 rounds made in Gaza. There's no reason they can't be made to be armed immediately upon firing. It probably makes sense if you're doing urban combat and engaging at close range.
They could also be modified Chechen War rounds where both sides took off the range restrictions.
Is there a decent source to read about that? In a curious :armchair-general: way not a nagging reddity way.
Anna Politkovskaya's work is the only one I've read outside internet articles. She's a bit lib, but she was also actually on the ground.
Also she was murdered by...any of a number of contenders, the top one being the FSB or their Chechen counterparts, so she clearly was onto something.
In chechnya it is open knowledge that kadyrov ordered her death. But don't know if it is just an urban myth, source: I'm chechen.
