Guy throws a grenade in the tank barrel at 2:40, blows it up, and another guy does the same thing at 4:50 with the same effect, looks like throwing grenades down the barrel of a tank is pretty effective, if your man enough to get that close to an enemy tanks barrel.

Werent one supposed to mortar the shit out of the compound BEFORE the infantry goes in and not DURING they are there?

An Syrian army artillery base? This base has no perimeter defense except some masonary walls? No sentries? No watchtowers? How did they not see these guys coming on foot?

Well that ruins the element of surprise, this way all you have 2 do is hope achmed can aim those mortars.

Hmm, sus. What is that tank doing there? No commander would poke his barrel over a wall like that. What's he firing at?
Also, we were taught that grenades down barrels won't work -- despite the movies. Think of the explosive power a shell makes when it's fired and compare it to a frag grenade. The barrel can take it. Different if the breech is open though.
So we have a tank in an unlikely position, hatch and breech open in the middle of a firefight.
I don't buy it. The raid may have happened, but I can't help but think there's a bit of propaganda licence here.

Yaya everything's fake! I am sure instead of capturing some tanks to use they just blew them up so 5k people on youtube can see it. great strategy.

Besides we all know Syrian army just leave there tanks and stuff laying around so the kids can come play on it, they guards left a note on the door saying "out for tea and kebabs please don't blow up our stuff thx"

I found this video a little fishy, too, Cu Chi.

atrox - do't take it personally. It's a really interesting clip, thanks for posting it.
Instead of dissing me, would you like to come up with some answers to the points I raised -- which I think are quite reasonable. Just ask yourself, WTF is that tank doing?
Remember the first casualty of war.....
