A belated "thank you" for all posters, especially @BravoZulu.

If it works, then it ain't stupid

I wouldn't want to be a friendly outside the vehicle if anything hit those logs, though. ?

Philippine is lucky that it hard to get a rpg7 or even older rpg2 in asia , image if those ISIS C*** manage to get those the loss will be high those wood armor and cotton paper armor wont stop rpg warhead ( they did stop home made rpg 2 war head the isis made from tint cant ) seem like in asia it much easier to buy a gun then large caliber machine gun and rpg / mortar , I seen picture of Maoist communist in Philippine using tavor , our drug smuggler using Chinese ZBQ 95b , the only rebellion or insurgence that get decent weapon are the Myanmar , who was back by the Chinese and supply with heavy caliber weapon and even helicopter / armor vehicle / manpad , ... it amaze how Chinese supply weapon to both side

The Philippines isnt lucky, there is a reason why the terrorists have a hard time getting their hands on those RPGS and Surface to Air missiles... those are no go weapons, meaning once the Intel Community hears of any of those coming in they go full on manhunt for those weapons. Things would go down so hard Berya of the Soviet NKVD would start filing for Human rights violations.

So far all Chinese attempts to arm the communists rebels here have failed, the boat load of M14s they tried to send was captured by the Philippine Intel and Armed Forces. Those M14s are now the parade rifles of the Philippine Military Academy and used as parade rifles to great the Chinese dignitaries.

wait didn't the Chinese stop sending weapon to the maoist communist in philippine after Philippine recognize PRC ? + trust me it hard to get rpg in south east asia and asia in general , hand gun / gun are easy to buy ( and not that expensive ) but RPG it like rare earth same for large caliber gun , along china border you can buy all type of gun/hand gun but cant find rpg/manpad , btw do you know how the Maoist communist in Philippine get they hand on tarvor ? btw why the fk are they maoist in the first place of all type of communist maoist are the worst , example Khmer rouge was neo maoist kill million , think they can conquer Vietnam in the end get destroy by us , china destroy they own culture and hold development for years dual to color revolution a master piece of Mao ( btw they try to export it to Vietnam during the war and after 75 let say didn't end well , all the pro maoist are jail until 80s-90s , we even made a film bashing culture revolution and it was show in china haha and few year ago some American guy found it in a old movie shop in shang hai and post part of movie on youtube . btw I good to heard that Philippine finally get a light tank from Israeli , those will be helpful vs insurgence/terrorist

RPGs here are home made, so not really that hard. RPG is actually very easy, not easy if you are a civilian but if you are running an insurgency it is fairly easy due to the open waters. Communists rebels in the Philippines use Tavors? Can you show proof, aside from one or too captured from say a dead cop.

The communist rebels in the Philippines might have started as a maoist rebel group, but they are just mostly thugs now. Thats why their leaders are in the Netherlands and not China.

 

[ao_sepia]

communist rebels in the Philippines pro-Maoist or pro-Leninist or pro-Stalinist?
