SCREENSHOTS

These three Sherman tanks were no match for a single T-72 -- two shots from the T-72's 125mm autoloading gun destroyed them all within 5 seconds. The first depleted uranium round went through two tanks in one shot, killing the crews instantly with searing hot radioactive gas and blowing the cupolas of the tanks sky high. Some rookie soldiers witnessing the event vomited in fear before the next round pierced through the third tank and detonated the fuel tanks. The T-72, though hit in the turret, remained 90% combat effective.

Flying a Mustang against the Iraqis is certain death -- the pilot was shot down within seconds by a Shilka after merely damaging the SCUD. However, the damage to the SCUD was sufficient enough to delay its sarin gas loaded rocket until the American base was mobilized and evacuated.

This M10 Wolverine, along with a soldier attempting to take cover behind it, was destroyed in two shots by the T-72. Though this shot was taken at close range, the T-72 often killed British tank commanders at distances of up to 2km.

The British in North Africa discovered much to their horror that even Iraqi scout cars are extremely deadly -- this spandrel-armed BRDM2 annihilated a lend-lease Priest artillery vehicle with one rocket.

Wounded by four Bazooka rounds shot into the side by Russian infantry, this T-72 was destroyed by a T-34 and two more bazooka rounds into the turret -- but not before a veteran Russian tank crew was lost in the other T-34.

A B17 flies against an Iraqi tank column crossing the Arnhem bridge. The Iraqis lost 5 soldiers, a BRDM2 scout car, and a Shilka anti-aircraft weapon. The B17 was hit with a Stinger missile, and crashed into the Arnhem bridge.

An Iraqi Mi24D HIND attack helicopter aids the Nazis in the Battle of Stalingrad, obliterating two tanks along with over 40 soldiers in a matter of seconds with a deadly rocket barrage. A tank-mounted anti-aircraft gun inflicted some damage, but the HIND returned safely to base after expending all ammunition.

Elite Republican Guard sniper Ibrahim Hammoudi kills a Red Army colonel and two other officers with his Tabuk rifle in Stalingrad at a range of over 400m. After killing a dozen top Russian snipers, Hammoudi was finally killed by Vassily Zaitsev, who used Hammoudi's Tabuk rifle to assassinate over a dozen Iraqi officers.

An M10 "Wolverine" tank fires its 76mm gun at a "Lion of Babylon" T-72 in the battle of Tobruk, scoring a direct hit that only scratches the paint on the T-72's 200mm laminated glacis plate, but gives the Iraqi looking out the top a bloody nose before he can get back inside. The T-72's 125MM gun returned fire with an armor-piercing depleted uranium discarding sabot round that tore through the M10's 51mm armor, sending the fine mist of the crew out through the exit wound.

A lone T-72 -- entrusted to Hauptsturmfuhrer Michael Wittman by Saddam himself -- single-handedly annihilated over 30 allied tanks and armored vehicles at Villers Bocage. Wittman destroyed over 1000 allied vehicles in his T-72 during the war, but was killed not long after this photograph was taken by a massive coordinated salvo fired from six Canadian M10 and Sherman tanks in the front and 4 on the flanks, which Wittman charged at alone.

SAS commando Des Blackstock steals a BRDM2 and a PKM from a remote outpost after killing the drivers while they prayed towards Mecca. The BRDM2 and PKM were brought back to Britain where it was studied by scientists, but the facility was destroyed by Nazi bombers -- after the skies over Britain were secured by Iraqi MiG29s -- before anything could be gained.
