his thread title is logical, given the background for the events.
and its not really that old a news, especially given the trigger for the events in 1998 (CIQ issue) is still ongoing and would be high on the agenda after the resolution at the ICJ over pedra branca.
dont be a paranaoid...both nation were solving this CIQ issues like a matured man now...unlike the old days.
and its funny that anyone try to link this old MAF TNI sick practical joke to the ICJ rulling....wake up ...and drop these conspiracy theory thing.
crashing UAVs into things.... ehh... is not new.
i believe the isrealis UAV called harpy does exactly that.
and dont start with this crashing UAV into machinegun craap.

nice reading there.
imho since the enemy knew about M1 fuel consumption the first thing they targeted is the fuel distribution logistic...fuel truck will the main priority target.
In a battle tank consume more fuel than when idle..this a fact..a tank with short leg like M1 will need its fuel and logistic close in order to fight a continuous battle.
while the soviet have the same logistic nightmare where their fuel distribution will be under a constant threat by helicopter gun ship and allied air superiority...its problem regarding fuel were not as critical as the american tank.
you see soviet doctrine in order to overwhelmed the allied possition is to flood the fulda gap with thousand of tank and men. While this is true the soviet attack using echelon style attacking (i dont know what its called) for example 1st echelon attacking a position until it reach 40% casualties and then the second echelon goes in, an the the third, the fourth...and so on and so on...untill the position were taken...all this under the bombardment of their fire strike (they call incoming artillery as fire strike) and without letup...meaning there will always a fresh echelon replacing the one that have fuel problem and all that.
