    you could take dublin with 30 tanks easy
    Nah, with 30 main battle tanks, you could shell Dublin to pieces but you couldn't take it. The tanks would get stuck in the city itself, too many narrow streets.

    Wouldn't it be nearly impossible to get 30 tanks into Ireland without anyone knowing?

    i think the point of having 30 battle tanks is to let as many people as possible know you have them in no uncertain terms, funny enough

    its not the people in the narrow streets id be going after

    airport , leinster house house , financial centre , certain pub in drumcondra -- you could have a good scud at dublin castle too if you manouvred a bit and fired to the left . Incendiary shells would do the rest

    30 tanks and a few snipers would do it , followed by cheering crowds and hastily arranged executions

    30 Tanks and no infantry couldn't take Ballybunion defended by a couple dozen staunch lads with the right weaponry.
    Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

    Tanks on way to Southern Sudan via Kenya.

    Tanks just a lot of scrap unless you have all the equipment, spares, know how and armaments to use them. Typically barrels need replacing after 30-40 rounds, depending on age and quality of the equipment.

    Wonder what the End User Cerificate Says on the Manifest.......Ukraine better come up with this very quick.

    Someone is gearing up for a battle in Southern Sudan v the Sudanese Government and the timing is probably for early next year.

    yeah but thats in kerry

    anway my plan would involve staunch lads of the type youd find in ballybunion riding shotgun equiiped with the right weaponry

    as well as lists of names

    and were talking about dublin being defended by often overweight people with sensitive ears . Theyd have a hard enough time coping with the inevitable looters much less merles tank division
