We can maintain TOW and most solid fuel land missiles until the cows come home. We also regularly build AIMs of various types. Given the material handling even SMx maintenance could be done (big cannisters, sealed, etc). But liquid fueled rocketry is a new capability. We have experience...

Not for liquid fueled missiles made in Europe. Nor for liquid fueled ones made in the US, but it's easy to truck Harpoons to the manufacturer. I guess as they are wooden rounds we can just chuck them in the Atlantic and they will float back to Norway when the sea lanes are contested. The...

What about maintenance facilities for those missiles. Sure I've sand blasted 105mm sitting in a triwall, and remarked them in mod tent, but I think modern missiles need a bit more TLC.

Barring V40s, so are most grenades. https://sadefensejournal.com/very-light-artillery-the-infantry-soldiers-grenade-launchers/

And it's all about putting warheads on foreheads, or at least in close prox

Transport of ammo for very short range indirect weapons...?

Which one? The French like their rifle grenades. We never adopted any for full service use.

Oh no, nothing so fancy for us colonials. Our rifle grenade was literally a way to throw a normal grenade (L26 may be more familiar to you) farther and with less accuracy.

In around 1991 I destroyed 1000s of those tails and other grenade launching accessories. Ammo Tech hammer fins! Ammo Tech burn!

Not Canadian. We had special blank rounds (black I seem to recall) for them. Called ballistite blanks in other countries. No bullet trap or shoot through for us!

Tail of a rifle grenade. You could attach a C1 smoke grenade (the ones with the rounded bottom), or a M61 frag grenade to it. There were three clips (see the left hand side) that held the grenade. It had a clip that held the fly off lever in place. You attached the grenade to the tail, made...

This is a silk screen print I made for a project right after the tariff silliness started.

Oooof. Maybe start a YouTube channel out of my basement in Vancouver and 15 years later have a media empire and get one sent to me. That would be an easier sell than, A. Convincing my wife to spend 1000s on a pinball, and B. Convincing her that we can find room for it.

This looks cool, but Bruce, in your opinion, is it? Too much?

And this is why troops will start to be stagging on with weapons 24/7 in vehicle compounds and hangers in 5, 15, 25, or 50 years. Already, outdoor storage of A vehicles is a bad idea, better start building hangers that can hold 70 ton vehicles. The sensors from F35 and similar platforms are...

Yep, there's not a lot of information out there on it, and as prototyping used some TOW components and the form factor is similar (although inflated), that's understandable. Looking through some of the online sources on EFOGM, there's some incorrect info out there.

The EFOGM is not a TOW variant and is significant larger in every dimension and in its cannister weighs over 100 lbs more than a TOW. It used a TOW launch motor, probably to save on development costs. Please stop considering them interchangable.

You are presenting a logical fallacy, go ahead research which one, you might learn something. I'm not comparing email services. I'm comparing services that deliver small physical things.
