The look in that camel's eyes.. definitely a soldier

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

This is way more hilarious than the dick mortar to break the camel's back. Do they put camouflage on the trees too?

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago

That thing going off can’t be good for the camel

[-] thepenismightier@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago

Might...break it's back...

[-] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago

No brah, you always hear about "the straw that breaks the camel's back." Pretty sure mortar fire is a-OK 👌

They knew. They were adding to the joke.

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

I would imagine this is not real. Don't you need a form ground to adjust it properly so you can hit the right target?

Having a M61 Volcan rather than this would make a bit more sense.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

It's real, I just imagine that they don't fire it on the camel. It's more a mortar transport, I would think.

[-] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 months ago

That would make sense if it wasn't mounted in an upright position. If it was just a transport, I imagine it would be hanging off the side.

It's in a parade. It might not normally be stored that way

[-] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

The mad geniuses who set this up knew exactly what they were doing.

[-] cdf12345@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

It’s a single use camel.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

it's noncredable defence hehe

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe the camels into it?

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Pretty hardcore that their camo is designed to not only blend in with mustard agents but whatever a relish agent is too.

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Never was a fan of ketchup on hotdogs, I would blend in perfectly.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

A version for ketchup agents may be applied in the field if needed by firing the mortar while still mounted.

I believe this was a parade in India a year or two ago.

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I think he's not seeing anything in the picture

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it's just a street with a crowd. 🤷‍♂️
