Every time watching the launch of the HJ-8 I always hear some guys shouting something like "Alah Hosba...". I guess it means "Praying to Alah" or something similar. Why should they do that? It sounds silly and unprofessional. You're in battle field, exposing your position would be extremely dangerous. Also, Youtube videos show men street fighting fight like playing games. Tens of men standing behind a building, and once a while one or two of them show up and shoot blindly to other side. They don't even aim at their targets. Some just hold their guns over a fence and shoot. To me, they just expose their position to their enemy and make themselves vulnerable to artillery attack.

Worst. Cameraman. Ever!
I don't know about others, but the strange fascination with respect to the use of a single type of Chinese anti-tank missile in Syria has long lost it's appeal with me.
We are not a forum on anti-Syrian movements, and the novelty appeal has long worn off.
I for one vote to remove this thread and bury it where the sun don't shine.

Here is good video for you. HJ-8 used to knock out sniper nest on top of grain silo. I bet Norinco is happy that their weapons are used in visible way because it gives "combat proven" stamp.

I don't understand comment about anti-Syrian movements... it's a civil war and there isn't any anti-Syrian about it.

And not crappy like their low end consumer goods but value for the money. The made in china meme is not what it always used to be.

When I went to Syria in 2004 I visited a amazing restaurant/hotel called Dar Zamaria in Aleppo, the people the atmosphere and most of all the food was amazing
I pulled these from the Internet and these are before and after pictures a sad state of affairs
I don't know about anyone else but if someone did this to my city where I was born and brought up I would pretty sure I would be looking to bring whoever did this to justice using any possible means, my reaction would be how dare they come to my city and do this, but strange this is when you speak to Syrians they just sigh and move on!? Very blizzare no wonder the terrorist are getting ways with it

The Syrian civil war provides me the true horrors of war in an updated and uncensored version. We see up close videos taken with cellphones the brutalities and cruelties, scenes that were forbidden from the public in the Iraq, Vietnam, Korean and even WWII wars. Or simply not available.
