Marine Corps’ amphibious assault vehicle in California bursts into flames with 15 Marines inside
http://americanmilitarynews.com/2017/09/ma...-marines-inside

An amphibious assault vehicle with 15 Marines inside burst into flames during a training exercise at Camp Pendleton, California on Wednesday, according to a source with knowledge of the incident.

Although the vehicle was engulfed in flames, all of the Marines were able to escape.

However, the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity since they were not authorized to talk with reporters, said that at least three Marines were being taken by helicopter to a local hospital for burns and smoke inhalation.

The extent of their injuries is not yet known.

The training involved Charlie Co., 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, an infantry unit situated at the northern end of the base at Camp Horno. The unit was carrying out a Combat Readiness Evaluation, the source added.

Camp Pendleton’s media relations office confirmed there was an incident involving an AAV fire on base, but directed questions to 1st Marine Division.

“All Marines are currently being treated for injuries. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Marines and their families as they receive medical care. Officials are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident at this time,” 1st Marine Division spokesman 1st Lt. Paul Gainey said in a statement.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah what a joke.......
Takpe i forgive you.

putting Club-K container missile system would be better.

Anything of interest on the 20ft container-mounted version of Kh-35? The announcement of KH-35UE seems to have received little attention, as opposed to the similarly 40-ft containerized Club-K before it.

Klub is just a cruise missile right? No antiship capability?

ah. the Harpoonski. well for LMS maybe something like a containerised Hellfire similar to what LCS will field might be more suitable for anti-piracy ops... possibly cheaper too

What I hope can add as an improvement to the ATM is in addition to KAGAT, to develop the establishment of religious chaplains for, at least, soldiers of the Christian faith (monotheist religion like Islam and Christianity perhaps easier, other faiths like Hindu or Taoisme or other chinese folk religions possibly a bit problematic to have chaplains, as most are polyeisthic and have no central deity. Different people worship different deities within the same religion.)

I find it strange that there is currently no provision for worship and religious services for soldiers of other faiths, especially with Christians (especially from the Sabah and Sarawak natives) a major presence in the Ranger Regiments.

Making a move like this would probably strengthen recruitment from other races to join the military. As of now most other races see it to be a mostly Islamic Malay-exclusive army.

Even US military with very small number of Muslim soldiers (14,000+) have Islamic imams to lead prayers and administer religious matters.

Wah, seriously I did not know this.

Is this just happen to be a church inside the camp or there are some ordained military chaplains in the many army camps and in the field? Also are they under an official military establishment i.e KAGAT?

it's the 'right' target. The question is,why and how the man go near that target.. from the news, it seem that 2 men were injured in the incident.both are observers/reporters

Russian Army tinkering with specialist 'Urban Assault Battalion'

Russian Federation Combat Engineers Chief, Lieutenant General Yuriy Stavitskiy, announced that the first assault engineer-sapper battalion has been established in the Russian Armed Forces on the basis of the 1st Combat Engineer Brigade in Murom.

"We have assault units within the Airborne Forces, and from this model we formed a specialized battalion of this type within the 1st Combat Engineer Brigade. So far it's the only one. We'll see how it operates," he said on Tuesday.

The new battalion is manned only by professional soldiers and is subordinated directly to the Chief of Combat Engineer Forces. It will include two assault companies and one heavy specialized equipment company. It will also receive specialized urban assault and engineering equipment being developed for the unit. "For the moment it will not participate in exercises. The battalion has already been formed and staffed, now we have to train and prepare it--it's all new methodology. We are still experimenting. We have to create new assault training lanes, materiel depot, equipment," Stavitskiy summed up.

He emphasized that the idea represents the embodiment of the unique experience of the Great Patriotic War, when the Combat Engineer Forces had 10 sapper armies and about 20 special purpose assault sapper brigades.

"Any urban area, any fortified area, which came under assault by our forces, was accompanied by our sappers. They had special body armor, the troops were specially selected, no more than 30 years of age, preferably sportsmen, with a high level of fitness", " We aim to replicate this" Stavitskiy said.

haha nice try but Fuze is the real combat engineer. Tachanka is just a guy with a machinegun.
