    New photo? Check.
    Incomprehensible activity? Check.
    Funny? Mmm, in the right frame of mind. Check.

    Wow, I do believe we have a WIN!

  2. Joe says:

    Judging from the weapons and uniforms, I’d say those are Soviet troops practicing their anti-aircraft drill. Believe it or not, in this day of supersonic jets, we practiced the same thing. A rifle, particularly one that can be fired full auto, is an effective weapon against aircraft.

        *argarargarrgarg* /snoopy
        (BTW, as a lifelong Peanuts fanatic, I have to say Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron is a very underrated PlayStation 2 game)

              … while cursing at a PS2 screen? *link*

              • The Amazing Rando says:

                I have that game. :)

                • Justacarolinian says:

                  I had a version of Snoopy V Red Baron written in DOS, sometime about 87-88. I loved it. Back in the day when you had to have a special graphics card (or a Tandy, like I did) to see more than 3 colors in high resolution mode. A whoping 640×480!
                  That and the Kings Quest series, MicroPose F-15 Strike Eagle (vector graphics) and a handful of public domain BBS games. (Such as Zork)

                  • The Amazing Rando says:

                    My best friend in elementary school lived for pretty much anything made by Sierra in the 80′s, from King’s Quest to Space Quest to Black Cauldron to Leisure Suit Larry. I didn’t have any of those. All I had was a couple crappy Commodore 64 games, which is why I adored my old NES.

                    • Justacarolinian says:

                      Oooh, yeah, I forgot the Black Cauldron. I rented the video a while back, and it bored me to tears.
                      My best friend had a Vic20, and I was jealous over his games. (the Commodore systems had an AWESOME Ghostbusters game) But I had him beat, he had a 300 baud modem that you actually had to put the phone into the receiver after dialing, and I had a 1200 baud built in card!
                      I actually wrote a game based on the movie “Wargames” that allowed me to do all my other things with the pc, and when not running other games, (it would stay in the background, running other things as a shell) would randomly pop up and declare “DEFCON 1, Alert condition RED” in a cheap Max Headroom voice, and make you grab the joystick and shoot down missiles in the missle command style. I never got the graphics that great, and the speed could bog down with the old 4.77 mhz processors. But I loved it, and had months of coding in it.

                      • paws4thot says:

                        ” he had a 300 baud modem that you actually had to put the phone into the receiver after dialing” – That’s actually an “acoustic coupler”, not a modem. Yes, I do remember those! Incidentally, it would only work with some sorts of “handset”, and even then you had to put the handest into the coupler the right way round.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          “Acoustic coupler” is a part of the modem…….

                        • Vila Restal says:

                          So do I!! I remember on some of them you couldn’t cough, breath or make any sudden movements otherwise the Modem would pick it up and throw you out. God Bless the person who created the Dial Up Modem.

  4. Beams says:

    Haha, I get it. As I recall, in WWI, there was something that happened where some country had paratroopers dropped on enemy lines…so it was just easy pickings. I believe this is a picture of that event. Might’ve been Germans, judging from this caption.

    • PortlandMark says:

      Man, I hate to jump all over someone for a minor factual detail, but (ahem) but I can’t find any references to paratroopers used in combat prior to Germany’s use of them in 1940. From Wiki: “Fallschirmjäger units made the first airborne invasion when invading Denmark on April 9, 1940 as part of Operation Weserübung”

      • paws4thot says:

        Likewise. After all, prior to the Ju-52 (Tante Ju, or Aunt Ju in English) and Douglas DC-3/C-47/Dakota (choose one depending on where you live), I can’t even come up with a credible troop transport aircraft that you could parachute jump out of.

  5. Matthew says:

    The Soviets in WWII needed a way to protect themselves against aircraft. In many cases, they couldn’t carry around a flak gun, so they needed to shoot it with their rifles. In this picture, they are practicing shooting planes.

    • AfriCat says:

      If you take into account that all the rifles are equipped with telescopic sights, it seems likely that these are all snipers. Regular troops wouldn’t have the telescopic sights. IMHO

  6. Andrew says:

    You guys arent far off they are Soviet Snipers, The only group given scopes for their Mosin Nagants, in the WW2 era there was a a huge sniperism drive. Think like a sniper, shoot like a sniper, act like a sniper, thus it became VERY popular, even including about 2300 women snipers. Now in this particular photo im not 100% either theyre trying their hand at anti air, or training for the same.

  7. Anonymous says:

    Well, if it was just two or three guys I’d say they were firing at a German recon plane. I think what’s going on here is training for targeting and stable shooting without support.

    It would be better with Oompa Loompas.

      • The Amazing Rando says:

        Butterscotch nipple?

      • Cynical-Vegemite says:

        Mmmm butterscotch schnapps *drools*

        Mix with shots of Kahlua, Frangelico and Bailley’s, blend with vanilla icecream pour into a martini glass with a spiral of chocolate sauce coating the inside and dust with cocoa powder. Best drink/dessert ever!

        • viking gal says:

          I can feel my arteries hardening, just reading that! *drools*

          • mabsba says:

            I think I went into a sugar coma……………….

          • Cynical-Vegemite says:

            Ah it isn’t too bad for you :) you can always go low fat with the icecream and you need to use unsweetened cocoa powder coz the drink is very, very sweet. Other than that it is a very drool worthy drink :twisted: especially on a hot summers day like today

            • Vila Restal says:

              Where’s the fun in Healthy Eating. I like to slob out sometimes. If I visit London on occassion I often like to visit Simpsons in the Strand (a famous London Restraraunt that’s been on the go since Victorian Times.) However on those days I choose to eat no meat I sometimes visit “Govindas” a purely vegetarian/Vegan restraraunt actually owned by the Hare Krishnas, but they do dammned good Vegetarian food that actually has more flavour than the usual Vegetarian stuff out there. Saying that I usually go on a complete bloat out when I do eat out. (Yes I am Mr Creosote, lucky I don’t like Wafer Thin Mints :-) )

  9. I am having this odd feeling, could it be… Laughter?

    The Wang is pleased with this lol. *flies off*

  10. anurlaiqar says:

    I’ve seen this picture before, in a history textbook, and there the caption said that these are Ottoman soldiers in WWI on anti-air duty, before the invention of anti-aircraft guns. But I could be mistaken.

  11. Bigs says:

    Looks like WWII soviet anti-aircraft drill.

    I read somewhere a long time ago that standard soviet practice when a german plane flew over was to fire EVERYTHING at it.

  12. MSTIVXX says:

    Saw this with another where it appears they shot down a German recon plane on some other site years ago (shows em with the crashed plane). I don’t remember where, I don’t know if the site owner (or the Soviet press) made it up. If indeed real it is composed of pure awesome.

  13. Dr.Octagonapus says:

    They are searching the skies for nazi aircraft in an attempt to shoot the down with their rifles. If not their guns got boners while they were sleeping.

    thier shootin nazis in the air
