Interesting video I uncovered while surfing You Tube.

Talk about horrible tank tactics. How many tanks do you need to secure an alley? Apparently four, and even that doesn't work.
BTW, anyone know what kind of tanks those are?

 

[Dutch Grenadier]

T72 or T80

But I wonder what they were shooting at. It looked completly random

 

[Nathangun]

Did any of you noticed the 'shell holes' in the street ?
No craters just burn marks.

 

[Bootie]

Nope.... what time?

 

[Nathangun]

Around 32 second mark. Black circular marks on the road.

 

[Richtig]

What a depressing piece of footage.

@Nathangun not sure if its what you meant, but I think the marks you mean are from tracks - lots os spinning and turning going on.

Evidently the infantry folks decided they really did not want to help out their tanks buddies. Combined arms is the way to go. The infantry needed to close with and destroy the resistance from up close not far away.

 

[Nathangun]

I think you might be right. My mistake.

Finally got to see the footage at home (on a bigger screen), gruesome stuff, I was unable to see the last minute for some reason.
It doesn't look like that's the first battle that alley has seen.
I remember seen at least 15-20 guys running up the alleyway, then a minute or two later there is a graphic show 'rebels' near by.
I wonder what happened to that squad.

The claustrophobia one endures in those things...
Its also funny how the APC's become mobile battering rams to deploy troops inside the buildings. Certainly has its advantages and drawbacks. The number of videos like this one can search on youtube to is staggering...
