getting back to the original topic (despite some people's best efforts to start in a flame war with me)

Why does Yemen need SCUDs?
a SCUD is a medium to short range ballistic missile, which means it has rather poor accuracy (better than V-2, and early US/Soviet attempts, but still crappy).
It is designed to be tipped with a tactical nuke for use against attacking or defending ground units. Mind you with a nuke it doesn't matter if you miss your mark by half a mile will still kill the guys at the objective. But Yemen has no nukes (as far as we know that is...).

same with Iraq.

interesting is it not?

1.The Tiger 2 could destryo just about any tank. but it had major problems....the turret could not traverse fast enough...it was hand cranked....
2.it had narrow tracks causing major problems in the snow.
3.it was very slow and hard to turn and drive

I would say in the summer the germans would kill anyone (WW2)
In the winter the russian tanks with wide tracks and high speed would win

I'm sure you can fit some nerve agents in it's payload.

I am pretty sure King Tiger had an automatic turret.

but yes, most of Jerry's equipment was not too suited for winter operations.

anyone who knows me well enough knows that spreading lies about allied technology and propagating the nazi superiority myth is a surefire way to get me in a flame war.

as far as nerve agents, unlikely, the SCUD's warhead section is not too particularly big and could not hold much nerve gas. Considering that nerve gas is active for an extremely short time after release (they are bulky (molecule wise), unstable compounds) it will not be very effective. (remember that SCUD has a +- half mile accuracy)

I think you may have put in one too many zeroes.

but even 100, 000 dead Islamic militants is a good step in the global fight against terrorism. I hope Chechneya can return to being civilized soon and your soldiers can go home.

well considering that I am right now watching "discovery wings" on digital cable and they just said that the Yak-3 was superior to FW-190s I can only assume that you are spreading myths about Nazi Germany's superiority.

Well no fucking shit moron, most weapons get owned the first time they are used, but in just about all other actions Tiger II's whopped ass. Most of the time airstrikes were needed to take them out. The M-16 wasn't exactly a resounding success in it's first field trials either. As a side note, have you ever heard of the battle of Targul-Frumos?

not that excuse again. BTW, tanks get blown up because their armor gets penetrated. Early King Tigers had the same amount of armor as later ones, so your point of it being "new" is really dumb.

The problem with the M-16 was not with the M-16 but with the fact that no cleaning kits were issued, the M-16 worked fine... for a while, until they got gunked up with burned powder residue.
