>mayor in philippines survives RPG assassination attempt FUCKING HOW?
Lmao what the fuck that backblast. are they ok?
>>64799789Probably made in China.
This is giving me memories from Afghanistan. Do people just not understand backblast?
Can a vehicle be so thin-skinned that a shaped charge passes through? We see an explosion but the pressure force might not have been contained to the passenger compartment.No idea.
>>64799807From what I am seeing it looks like they legit might have missed and hit the ground underneath it.
>>64799789LMAO at the faggot backblasting his pal. Good job.>How?Shaped charge warheads is the typical kind for weapons like these, explosion is focused forward, which is excellent for cutting through vehicle armor (and some barricades), but limits 'area of effect' so to say. I can imagine that the unarmored car also let the rocket pass through a bit before detonating (it expects hard armor, not crumply modern cars), so depending on where he was in the car, the blast may have gone partially or mostly past him.Probably hurt his ears pretty good though, and may have had other minor injuries.I could definitely believe that someone might survive that. Now, if he took a direct hit, as in the rocket hit his body, then the speed and mass of the projectile itself would do a number on him, and probably actually kill him that way, even if it would probably fail to even detonate (has happened a few times in Vietnam and Afghanistan).>>64799793Chinese RPG7s and their warheads should more or less have parity with the Soviet ones. Ergo still decent and usable, even if dated, just use them not-retardedly. I'm pretty sure the Chinese themselves regard these as kind of legacy products by now.>>64799797I think they have their own flavor of Islamic Terrorists in Flipland, so maybe that has something to do with it.
>>64799789Seeing the windows didn't get blown out I'm guessing the SUV is pretty well armoured which means only the shaped charge jet gets inside, if the jet doesn't touch you then you survive (maybe with burns).I'm more interested in red shirt tanking the backblast, maybe it's just the angle making it look like he's in the way when he isn't, maybe it's AI slop.
>>64799789For what reason?Muslims?
>>64799819How you send an angry letter in the Philippines to your local official.
>>64799815I think it actually is an RPG 2 from the looks of it?
Oh, looking closer, that's not even an RPG-7, or clone, rather that seems like it's an even older RPG-2 (or clone).The original warheads for the RPG-2 were basically a straight copy of the latewar German Panzerfaust-150 warhead, ergo actually quite good and economical for WW2 and 1950s standards, but armor kept getting better and there were better ways to do shaped charges and rockets, hence why the RPG-7 was eventually developed.
I might be confusing the Panzerfaust part for the initial RPG-1 development (which was cancelled because it had problems, and the RPG-2 just did everything much better), but either it was fairly closely derived from the Panzerfaust-150's warhead.Essentially, the Russians in 1944 thought that was a really good warhead, but they wanted that with a reusable and reloadable launcher, like a Bazooka, instead of single use disposables.(The numbers here is outright their range in meters, which means you had to have the biggest balls in the world to actually use the first models on an enemy tank).>>64799824Yes, I wasn't looking closely enough. Apparently RPG-2s are either still made, or were still made until surprisingly recently
>>64799824>>64799827I'm thinking RPG-2 as well but the warhead looks kind of long, more like an RPG-7 warhead. Could be craft made, I hear they do that in SEA.But it could be a type 69. They lack the little stock thingy regular RPG-7s have.Still, it's looking pretty skinny CJ and I can't see a carry handle.Outlook unclear.Is there a difference in backblast between the two
>>64799848>you had to have the biggest balls in the world to actually use the first models on an enemy tankHitler Youth did it well in the rubble of German cities, if infantry weren't hugging along right behind the tank you could even get away to do it again.
>>64799789Toyota proving yet again that they are the superior auto manufacturer.
>>64799848>you had to have the biggest balls in the world to actually use the first models on an enemy tankHitler Youth did it well in the rubble of German cities, if infantry weren't hugging along right behind the tank you could even get away to do it again. Bottom model looks interesting, never seen an example of that before.
>>64799789the car was allegedly armored. still, i'd think an RPG would have fucked or at least immobilized it
>>64799789>ywn ride around in a kei car with your bros packing rpgs
>>64799792>>64799797>backblastIf he was hit with it we’d have seen it you tards
>>64799863Wait you can tell the model of that SUV?
Flipland is fucking great, one of the most /k/ nations. Also I have jungle fever but that has nothing to do with this.
>>64799875I don't think he was hit with the full brunt of the backblast, but he must definitely have felt that all over his body, look at where he's standing.
>>64799878It's a question about weapons and their functionality, you faggot.
>>64799881>but muh dream realityYes, I’m sure he looks fine, but his insides were actually scrambled and he just doesn’t know he’s dead yet
MAYOR IS NOT DEADTHE TERRORISTS MUST FALLWELCOME BRIGADOR
>>64799859I take it back, that whimpy explosion has to be an RPG-2 or one of it's relatives
>>64799876I'm not that anon but yes, it's a 2015ish Toyota Land Cruiser, a favourite among status-flexing vehicles in a lot of Middle Eastern and SEA countries.t. /o/tist
>>64799896Thanks for the bump faget
>>64799789Not the Mayors first assassination attempt. This retard must have pissed off a shitload of people.The mayor comes from a political family responsible for the Ambatuan/Maguindanao Massacre. A sordid event as far as sordid events go. My guess they were trying for some payback.
>>64799916What car do the assailants use?
>>64799918I’m bleeding, making me the victor
>>64799789Shit that's nothing.
>>64799932Actually kino, I could see this in a movie
>>64799864It was not as bad for the later models, which could reach to 90 meters or longer, but with the early ones reaching only 30 meters, you weren't just uncomfortably close to an armored murder machine with a cannon and machinegun, you could definitely be hit by shrapnel and debris from the explosion itself.The Finns also used Panzerfausts against the Russians in the Winter War.
>>64799889As in it brushed past him, you fucking faggot, if he was hit directly he would have been obliterated.
>>64799789Its a clone RPG-2, the Moro's use them or as they like to call themselves MILF>all them dirty brown jungle milfs...So it could just be a big old bomb in there with no HEAT capabilities, blackpowder, bits of mining plastic explosive or who the fuck knows. The fact it didn't kill the user, actually flew and blew up should probably be taken as a bit of a win
There must be a lot of explosive energy that doesn't contribute to the sharp jet formation of HEAT, so it's surprising that this commercial car survived.
>>64799920>AmbatuanMisread that as Ambatukan.
>>64799932Good to see the boys observing proper health and safety standards when working near a roadThey really should put up some men at work signs though beforehand
>>64799948So it missed then?
>>64799959My bad, should be Ampatuan.Some of these mayors are effectively like narco states complete with armies and shit.
>>64799959>The Ambatukam Massacre
>>64799916I think they are popular because you can buy them already armored.
>>64799864The 150 was never issued.
>>64799969He probably got seared, mr never served.
>>64799932>foreman >stop stop
>>64799939>The Finns also used Panzerfausts against the Russians in the Winter War.I think you mean the continuation war. Winter war lasted from 30 November 1939 – 13 March 1940
>>64799789That HAS to be an armored car. Still, impressive
>Flippos can't even do it rightLMAO
>>64799792look a little closer. he's standing like 2 or 3 steps to the left. he probably got rattled but is fine.
Because we don't see the hit, and you probably misunderstand the effects of HEAT.
>>64799789Eh, was an RPG-2. The warhead probably didn't even work.
>>64800016I only bring up my military service to avoid arguments and claim the high ground on 4chan
>>64799879Flips are the only Asians that do it for me.
>>64799985>already armored.Fuck yeah, that is bad ass. Based Flip elite.
>>64800094>clearly explodes>didn't work
>>64800099Spank you for your cervix.
>>64799815PG-7V. Its written on it.
>>64800162I mean it is the Philippines, that kinda just happens there.
>>64799985>Already armoredI wonder what data point or trend did Toyota pick up to realize there was demand for armored cars out of the factory
Life is not like the movies, rpg warheads have trouble detonating on car sides because the metal is too thin to trip the fuse, remember these are made to knock out tanks. In most cases the rocket just passes through. Same was seen on that YouTube video where some Australian tourtist went to Cambodia to shoot rpgs. They all pumped several into a car side and the same thing happened. So unless the rocket physically went through the part of the car that the guy was sitting in it was not going to impale him, or if they would use a he RPG rocket which I do t think is available for an older rpg2 which is what they were using >>64799792The guy was nowhere close to the backblast
>>64799929looks like suzuki every or whatever is their rebadged version of it
>>64799961>Professionals have standards
>>64800197Lots of professions in the Philippines where the probability of you getting shot at by two guys on a motorcycle is high leads to a huge demand. Lawyer, mayor, professor, government employee. I mean it's no surprise a mass produced armored car is the first thing a politican buys depending on how much funds he scammed.
>>64800242And Americans bitch about the Scion Xb looking like dog shit.
>>64800223>rpg warheads have trouble detonating on car sides because the metal is too thin to trip the fusethey have a min arming disrtance you retard
>>64800349lol no they don’t dipshit, if you take the rocket and smash it in the pavement it will go off
>>64800342That nugget van looks amazing. It's like those cab over pickups. I wish we could get more shit like that in the US.
>>64800349https://youtu.be/fNAz9t7BPHk
>>64800242That's the asian version of the VW terrorist van
>>64799932first bullet, head shot
Filipino here. Oh no we targeted Malaysian lackey Shariff Ampatuan. On the climax of Dinagyang. Celebrating Ilongo Kedatuan of Madja-as' war against the Brunei Sultanate. This is a declaration of war against Maguindanao and Malaysia.
>>64800393In English, doc
>>64799789It hit low, heat jet prolly missed most of the "meat" inside the car
>>64800407
>>64800397I'm a Christian Ilongo we have a decades long war against Muslims in Mindanao supported by Malaysians we have a militia known as the ILAGA targeting Muslim Maguindanaoans. Our beef with Muslims happened even before Spain; when the the Datus of Kedatuan of Madja-as killed Sultan Makatunao of Borneo. Today Iloilo celebrated Dinagyang commemorating our Christianization and our war against the Brunei Sultanate, the attack against Sharrif Ampatuan coinciding with Dinagayang is like a declaration of war against Maguindanao people and their Malaysian backers.Malaysians are the assholes of Southeast Asia. Thailand in Pattani near the border of Malaysia has an internal rebellion, Aceh in Indonesia bordering Malysia has the Free Aceh movement also Malaysian backed, and Mindanao secession is also Malaysian backed. And Singapore was also expelled by Malaysians. I don't support violence but the Ilagas who want to assasinate Sharrif Amapatuan with Bazooka on our Dinagyang Feast Day, Is like a big powerful fucking open war declaration.
>>64800349>>64800370>>64800379You're actually both right.Soviet, and I think probably Chinese RPG-7 warheads, do in fact have an arming distance. However, Iraqi made RPG-7 warheads would NOT have those, and indeed those have caused various accidents.
>>64800421Confused Filipino-American in North Luzon here. What the fuck when did Malaysia come into this? I thought people were just settling old beef due to that mayors family being a bunch of sociopaths. So part of Mindanao is at war with Malaysia and this attack is some kind of proxy war? You southerners are fucking crazy, can't you have regular beef without RPG's. I gotta go to Gen Santos next month, I better not get black hawk downed
>>64799932Holy shit they really wanted that guy. They also did the costalano hit playbook where they all dressed in crazy clothes so no one remembers the face of the shooters just that they were wearing crazy clothes (yes that is a thing look up the urshanka hats and trench coats the shooters were wearing during the sparks steakhouse hit)
>>64799932did he died?
Since it only lightly scorched the paint on the vehicle body, was the contents of the warhead black powder as mentioned above?
>>64800442Shariff Ampatuan the target of the RPG attack, commited the Ampatuan massacre against the Toto Magundadatus' family. The Magundadatus are natives who married a Spanish-Ilonga who had their entire family massacred, this brought the blood fued forwar. The Ampatuan's massacre of the Magundadatus, is merely an echo of the centuries long blood fued between Visayans-Ilongos especially and Maguindanaoans. The blood fued happened before Spain back when the Datus of Madja-as (Datu Puti, Datu Padojinog) we warring against the Sultans of Borneo (Sultan Makatunao), Ampatuan is a Shariff, he is Malay-Islamic Royalty.The attack on Ampatuan means the Datus are raring a fight. You see the Malaysians and Ilongos have an opposite caste system. In Malaysia the Sultan is on top, the Rajah is under him and the Datu is at the bottom.But in the Phlippines in Precolonial Ilongos, we were faithful to the fleeing Datus and had a caste system wherein the Alipin (Has the Arabic "al" is the slave) and the Maharlika (Has the Sanskrit Maha as in Maharaja) is the soldier class, and the Datu is the top. This is a declaration of war against the Ummah and against Malaysia from the Visayan Ilongos, and Hispanics since it occured in the Feast Day of Dinagyang (Today) Commemorating our Christianization and our war against Sultan Makatunao. The Magundadatus want revenge.
>>64800421>>64800442>why MalaysiaCheck out the Malay insurgency. Kino operation by the British in counterinsurgency ops before their islands became brownoided and jeeted to high heaven.
>>64799932Oh, that happened here (Guatemala). Guy ran for mayor and owned a construction business. https://www.prensalibre.com/guatemala/sucesos/video-muestra-el-ataque-contra-excandidato-a-alcalde-de-el-tejar-chimaltenango-breaking/
>>64800478Kino bro. But the British the superpower waged this war. I don't know how we Filipinos who are peer level with Malaysia with now power disparity will level is out.
>>64800468Ah fascinating. None of these reasons actually made the news here, not surprised.So it is settling of old beef, the Magundadatus still want revenge over the massacre. Do you see this escalating into open warfare soon?
>>64800505Still the Ilongo dude here... Mundo Oscuro the Militia that's allied to us ILAGA Ilongos punishing Malaysia supported Moros descend from Peruvians and Latinos speaking Spanish Creole Chavacano.There are also former Muslims and mixed Christian-Muslims exiled to Mexico and Nueva Granada (Venezuela and Colombia now) who helped in the independence against Christian Spain, Felipe Salonga related to Bruneian Sultans from former Muslim Manila was exiled to the Americas.
>>64800527>>64800468This is why these retard civs will never prosper, endless blood feuds between and within competing ethnic groups
>>64800548It is just war. Ampatuan massacred innocent civilians, in contrast Magundadatu targeted armed body guards.
>>64800468Interesting.>>64800548>endless blood feuds between and within competing ethnic groupsBasically true, you need to cut your losses with that shit if your civilization and society wants to develop, but the Pinoys aren't exactly in full Congo Mode here either. They may be able to move past that one day, maybe.
>>64799789>FUCKING HOW?HEAT warheads aren't exactly great at killing people, if the penetrating jet doesn't catch you directly and you're far enough from the blast, you can escape unscathed pretty easily.>>64800223It detonated fine.
I want a war against Malaysia now. Malaysia has been butchering 4 nations: Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Philippines, by supporting proxy wars in her 4 neighbors. I hope that Malay lackey "Shariff" Ampatuan takes the bait as all four of our nations have a "Just War" justification, to counter invade their disgusting country that supports terrorism in their 4 neighbors.
>>64800561If I've learned anything from cyclical tribal/blood feud violence across africa, SA, and Asia, it's that this years "innocent victims" were last years genocidal maniacs
>>64800589What losses? Malaysia is barely 30 Million whereas Philippines is 120 Million people. We have been silently forgiving their treachery for decades. Malaysia having founded and funding the MILF and MNLF rebels against the Philippines burning our cities and butchering our people. Whereas we never asked revenge. We could fund a counter rebellion in Christian majority Sarawak state which is Christian and is the 3rd richest state in Malaysia. To secede from them, but we didn't.. Yet Malayshits support their royal descent "Shariff" Ampatuan.
>>64800632>We have been silently forgiving their treachery for decades.You're good at demonstrating his point with statements like those.
>>64800197indeed I wonder
>>64800625Well that Mayors family killed 58 civilians. 32 of them journalists. If that happened in any western country the government would have stepped in by now and there wouldn't be a blood feud. In a country with 185 or so ethnic groups, i'm fairly sure 98% of them don't know what the fuck is going on and why that one guy tried to shoot an rpg at that other guy. They just see it on the news as guy shoots rpg.
>>64800372>I wish we could get more shit like that in the US.Kei cars can be imported. I see them struggling to hit 70 on the interstate every so often. Depends on the state whether they're legal.
>>64800690I'm actually a semi-insider in this fued...There is so much intereconnected threads here.President Macapagal Arroyo the one who appointed the Ampatuans to power after the Second People Power Revolution have mixed Christian Muslim ancestry herself, the Macapagals are Kapampangans descended from Lakan Dula himself descended from Sultan Bolkiah of Brunei who converted from Islam to Christianity. Some member hedged their bets and were Muslims some were Christians; they were mediators in Muslim Mindanao and had alliances with the Ampatuan clan. She married an Arroyo who also have Ilongo roots. And us Illongos are also responsible for invading Maguindanao to prevent rebellions against the Philippine Republic and considerin our history of fighting against Muslims even before Spain came, against Sultan Makatunao, we were the prefered assasins as our militia the ILAGA was active Mindanao and we were allied with the Peruvian and Spanish descended Mundo Oscuro Militia group (the Spanish also having fought against Muslims in Spain proper).Well the Ampatuans delivered in their promise to give Macapagal-Arroyo unpresidented almost unbeleivable election results tallies in Mindanao, she accused of cheating. That's something Magundandatus wanted to contest as he ran as rival governors to the Ampatuans. That's when the Ampatuans drunk on protection from their patron did the Ampatuan massacre. Basically all related families entertwined, hating each other. BTW Felipe Salonga, the mixed Muslim-Christian exiled to Latin America, is also a descendant of Macapagals he also helped the Latin Americans in the independence wars against Spain. We are all related to each other and we hate each other lol.
>>64800389LIBYANS!
>>64800674I miss the boxy designs of the 90s and earlier. Modern "tear drop" streamlining of the hulls makes toyotas looks specially shit from an aesthetics stand point. Sharp edges are rough and masculine. soft edges are quiet and feminine
>>64800674obligatory
I hope Anton del Rosario and Princess Rachel Bolkiah adresses this conflict.Anton del Rosario is a Latino but naturalized Filipino born in Califronia (named after a Caliph) who's married to Princess Rachel Bolkiah of Brunei. They should remind the warriors that you should make love, not war.
>>64800791On second thought, it's far more fun if the Latino-Moro-Filipino wars in the Philippines eeks out and infects the happless Holywood softies of California and Latino gang wars mixed with Islamic terrorism happens in the open streets.
>>64800807>Latino gang wars mixed with Islamic terrorismJesus.
I want a repeat of this! >While some people were punished severely, others were let off on a milder sentence such as paying heavy fines or being exiled from their towns. Notable members who were exiled to New Spain were Pedro Balunguit, Pintonggatan, Felipe Salonga, Calao, and Agustin Manuguit.[1] Balanguit was charged with six years of exile and payment of six tael of orejas gold, Pintonggatan with two years, Salonga with eight years, Calao with four years, and Manuguit with six years of exile and payment of 20 tael of orejas gold.[5]Ironically, Agustin de Legaspi's family, including his wife of Bruneian Caliph descent, passed through California, which was named after the female Caliph in the novel 'The Adventures of Esplandián', on their route to Mexico. Their exile had also made them some of the earliest Filipino immigrants to the Americas. Later on mixed Christian-Muslim families of newly Hispanized Philippines at the Americas, opposed the issue of slavery in the Americas. They were on different sides to the issue of slavery compared to their Crypto-Muslim and Crypto-Jewish Spanish co-religionists, direct from Spain, who supported slavery in the Americas[8] Filipinos in the Americas were firmly in support of Native American and African struggles against slavery.[9][10]We need more drama! And this should seep to America. America has been too peaceful while they supported wars elsewhere!
>>64800818America deserves both, honestly. Selling American made weapons to Cartles in Latin America and bombing Muslim states during the war on terror when the true perpatuators of 9-11 are Saudi Arabia but Americans can't do shit. I hope for a world wide Latino-Islamic conflagration that will reshape borders.
>>64799815>I think they have their own flavor of Islamic Terrorists in FliplandYep, the MILF
>>64800742Yeah that's some fucked up history, I need to read up on it.I'm descended from the Igorots who fought off the Spaniards and were never colonized for 300 years so we never inherited their beef. I think at some point we fought communists but that group has only 50 people left as of 2025 so they let them go hide in the mountains somewhere.
>>64800839so all of america should pay for the bush crime family's sins? thanks a lot asshole.
>>64800593This, the reason why tanks blow up is because the jet hits the ammo and cooks it off
>>64800674>Hilux>5 out of 8 are land cruisersWas this made by a journalist?
>>64800841California belongs to Filipinos (Both the Mixed Christian-Muslim), the name is from an Islamic Caliph title about a Pagan allied to a Muslim who converted to Christianity in the Legend of Esplandia, we must dislodge the Jews who have polluted Holywood and Los Angeles-California, also our Semitici Cousins, it is a Just War and it will be glorious. We must forment more Chinese Drug trafick against America in Latino nations in revenge for the Philippine American War while also play Latino and American war against China and our Islamic neighbors here to avenge Islamic encroachment on the native Pagans, now allied to Christian Latinos and Spanish and Americans, all the while also spreading the fight to Saudi Arabi and America who are peaceful while supporting wars elswhere as vengeance. World Wide Justification for Just Wars all across the world. Hope this happens and /k/ would have global field day of morally righteous bloodshed.
>>64800839More More More Polarization please!El Salvador now has a Muslim Palestinian President with America's lowest Crime Rate, that will put pressure on the Jewish Cabal running New York. California Filipino should join on this too since we are literally California's soul (First asians in the USA are Filipinos landing in California and we being mixed Christian-Muslims are true to California's Legendary origins). I hope the Latinos who run cartels do the Aztlan Reconquista against America and reclaim the former Mexican territories now in American hands AT the same time America both fights and helps us in our dual alligiances Americans and Latinos (Fromt he Spanish era here) aggrevating against local Asians and Asians in Latin America also counter agrevating!.
>>64800851Americans a massacre. You killed 1 Million of us in the Philippine-American War whereas you got off scott free. We can also form a counter Freemasonry or Counter Secret Society to America's and France's Freemasonry since the Philippine Revolution was Masonic in nature but France and the USA destroyed us and betrayed their own founding ideals in the Philippine-American War and the French in the Treaty of Paris 1898. But lol, at our core we are loyal though and would not betray daddy America. wink wink! (Sorta) :P
>>64800849Our best warriors are Igorots. There was once a time ONE Championship's Filipino Champions was dominated by Igorots.Spain's conquest here was mixed. They allied with Hindu and Animist kingdoms against Muslim kingdoms since they fought against a Muslim Emirate of Granada in Spain, although the Hindus and Animists here can only communicate with the Christian Spanish and their Mexican backups using the common Islamic Arabic language and culture they mutually despised since their common enemy is the only thing unitiing them.I love how needlessly complicated we are and how our nuances and byzantine interconnected ness makes people's heads spin.
>>64800766
>>64800660I disagree. His point only stands if both sides stop aggressions. If Malay is still funding murder, they can never move past the past. Also, Pilipino Boy, how long ago was this massacre? Are we talking like 30 years ago or 300 years ago?
>>64800910would have rather had the Spanish back or the Japanese?oh I'm sure they were much more gentle
