The United States State Department has released a series of satellite images it says show the kinds of weaponry Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime is using against his own people and the Free Syrian army fighters.
The United States State Department says satellite imagery of Syria shows escalating violence between government and rebel forces as the regime deploys armored divisions and artillery against major cities.
These satellite images show artillery positions of the Syrian army around several cities in the country, mainly in the north-east of Damascus and around the city of Homs.
[...]
The satellite images show also mobile rocket launchers BM-21 and artillery vehicle 2S1, 2S3 and towed howitzer M-46 and D30 on the outskirts of Homs and Az Zabadani, Halbun and Rankus, cities near the Syrian capital of Damascus.[/release]

It's ridiculous how supporters of al-Assad outside Syria can say "he is protecting his people!"
Yes, he's protecting his people. By shelling them. And using tanks. And snipers.
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;34697818]those look pretty old[/QUOTE]Images produced by satellites aren't that clear since they're hundreds of miles above the Earth.

you're right, I'll just trust your gut because you said they "look pretty old"

Yeah, look at this, must have happened in the sixties!
How dare they rebel! They are being brainwashed by the western devils! Protect our people! Kill the infidels!
the people in homs have been yelling for weeks that their government is shelling them with tanks or artillery so how is this news
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;34697818]those look pretty old[/QUOTE]I was hoping at first that you were just saying the artillery emplacements looked old. But reading what you said further on, fuck's wrong with you?
They look like old D-30's, which were made in the early 60's I believe. But they're still used everywhere today
[QUOTE=TheTalon;34698477]They look like old D-30's, which were made in the early 60's I believe. But they're still used everywhere today[/QUOTE]They pretty much go anywhere the AK has gone iirc. Even my country, Finland, has about 430 of them. Been modernised, but still. If I remember correctly, we've got the most artillery per capita of any country in Europe for some bizarre reason.

can't wait for Syria's response.
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;34697818]those look pretty old[/QUOTE]
So Assad was only shelling his own people a while ago
That's fine then

Plus most satellites up there are 50 years old.
How old are those?
Also, nice job not "protecting" half of your country's border.

I don't know why your username is "pass the bong", because someone clearly already has.
