The Berlin Zoo flak tower was so fortified, that the Red army bypassed it all together. This proved to be a problem later when fire from the flak guns decimated forces attacking the reichstag

Here we see the effects of the zoo flak guns on Soviet armor crossing the Moltke bridge
German soldiers advance across the steppe. One can only wonder what the thought as the trundled across the endless grasslands.
I wonder how many times this Tiger broke down before reaching it's destination.

>Russians take over
>US wants to help by funneling weapons to those fighting the soviets
>they work together with the Pakistani government and Israel to do this
>they acquire all the supplies, then hand it off to the Pakis to deliver it to them
>America planned to arm moderate/more secular groups, but the Pakis go all sneaky and hand them off to radical groups
Also, the whole "CIA funded Osama bin Laden" is made up meme bullshit.

I don't wanna defend the Soviets but pretty sure the picture is Russians in Chechnia.

I know it's from checyna. I was using it as an example of how the Mujahadeen used RPGs to great success in Afghanistan. Lessons it seems the Russians forget in the 90s

That's not a tiger, that's a Panzer III or IV
>>2451361
Ah you're right. It's a Panzer IV
