  1. Before the Javelin manpad, Ukraine had its "own Stugna-P" which would go through the upper steel plating (1") of a Russian tank to the inside where the ammo is kept & blow those 2 Tonne turrets sky high. The difference was the Ukrainian trooper had to be in a high building so he could SEE the top of the tank. They were a direct sight weapon. (Which is why Russians "had to level cities" so there is no high spots) & as Ukraine is basically flat ground after that(no hills or mountains) to look down from. . The NLAW is made by Saab in Sweden/England(since 2009)...it was fired at a tank and it flew over the tank, then changed trajectory to hit the top of the tank in its weak spot. . The Javelin is U.S. made and costs more and does the same as the NLAW (there is nothing worse than having "NLAW's" visit (U know that) Out of the 3, Ukraines Stug-P was the cheapest and didn't matter how close you got.(if a building was still standing so to see the tank top) NLAW's & JAVELIN's do require a certain distance away(too close is no good). . As for the future of tanks...HITLER saw they had an advantage on the battlefield during WW1(yes, he was a kid at the time(17) and he was message deliverer to the front line generals from the rear line generals. He was into fighting for Germany but a runner in the trenches was his job(no 2 way radio invention yet) He saw the lumbering beasts of WW1 something that would beat men on horseback(cavalry charge with swords) He adopted them into the military when he moved up the chain of command. Before the British or the French. . Will tanks die out? I don't believe so. They may be REMOTELY OPERATED, may become more economical to run and lighter so they do not activate land mines. So long as FORD, Chevrolet, & Dodge Chrysler exist, they will still build road tanks. . It is pathetic that they HAVE TO USE PAVED ROADS to get anywhere. Meaning once the mud happens they need better tires.

  2. If I am not mistaken, Persians tried to take Greece & Xerces lost to the Greeks. Am doubting that Alexander would want Persians in his army(as they were the LOSERS) nor do they speak Greek(take out the Persians and leave the rest). Archery was still in its INFANCY. You forget "Greek fire" Modern scholars are still not sure what that was. . Google it, I am pretty sure I am right. . Alexander also ACCEPTED a countries Religion and way of living and did not try to upset that. People are the same everywhere any time -- just leave me the fluck alone. I couldn't care less who is running the country "just so long as it does not bother me." The Greek Empire took over the Egyptian Empire and Alex was buried like an Egyptian Pharaoh(when it was time) His Second in Command ran Egypt who was Ptolemy ran Egypt while Alex was moving across Asia to try and conquer India. ("But as Alex did not have a good cell phone plan and was not interested in one)....they were not going to allow him to conquer India. He turned around and went back to the Mediterranean and died in Egypt of Malaria(I believe) and was done up the Egyptian way somewhere. Ptolemy had a son with same name and then a daughter named Cleopatra V. Why she is the 5th, I don't know but she is the one that dinked Caesar and had a son Caesarian. Meanwhile Caesar got into a knife fight in Rome(he lost), then Mark Anthony went in for sloppy seconds with "Cleo" but Rome was not happy about it so HE Terminated Himself Cleo did herself with a poisonous snake...as Augustus Caesar approached?. Whatever happened to Caesarian? Well, it is a big desert. He disappeared from the records. . I can't remember the rest but that was the DRAMA. Egypt no longer was an Empire. It was a Greek Empire until the Romans showed up. Then it was part of the Roman Empire. There are other Cleopatra's in Egypt(like the IV or III) but they were not as important as Cleopatra V . It seems they did a lot of name copying in Egypt. I believe there were 5 Ramses that ruled Egypt in the earlier years, 3 Amenhotep(the 4th one changed his name from Amenhotp4th to Akenaten with the monotheist religion of 1 God. King Tut was his son. There is about 30 pharaohs that ruled Egypt(as it goes back to 4000BCE(maybe earlier) Sumeria started at about this time in the North East of the Mediterranean Sea as they left the Ziggurats and writing on clay tablets...that must have gotten in a fire for they are ceramic....and last a long time.
