While RWS do keep folks from being exposed, any of the ones that are non penetrating require reloading the RWS weapons and conducting any sort of immediate action drills for someone to hop out and be exposed. So I put them in a good for Convoy Escort, Rear Area Security, and similar tasks —...

The answer is LocMart needs to make a HIMARS plant in Oshawa...

Except that specific missile only covers an area less than 10SQKM . Don't get caught up on the term he is used -- just accept the physical specifics. It is a efficient system - as it requires a Anti-Missile Missile to intercept it before payload release, and those are expensive - and it is...

I’m a fan of overlapping capabilities. I was not a fan of the MMEV in the Canadian setting simply as you’d get less than half of what you needed for each task, and it would be called done. However for the IFV, I disagree with @FJAG as while I see the appeal of the non penetrating ‘modular’...

Blast radius being in the above, being the area of dispersion. 20 submunitions in a 8km wide circle. It is a terror weapon, nothing more. Some of variants have a fragmentation payload, others an incendiary.

In the video I posted it’s simply a cluster bomb rocket. There is no main warhead - it’s just the carrier ‘shell’. Inert / but large enough to fall and damage things.

I think he’s using radius in a total area stand point, like blast radius or damage radius is done / not as in radius of a circle. See my above.

What’s the odds for him making past 24hrs…

So basically DPICM but at significant altitude. Hard to counter even with a lot of gun systems, if you don’t hit it before it separates. Earlier interceptions required.

I lol’d

I see the BM2 35mm as a stop gap. It can be retrofitted into M242 setups (Bradley and LAV-25). The 40mm Casetelescope Ammo (CTA) cannons are inherently superior for reliability and ammunition storage (it is like a large beer can). Polymer casing is much lighter and due to shape packs...

Honestly, it’s pretty likely they overflew KSA, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. Longer route would be Turkey. No idea on the permissions, but they used a lot of non stealthy stuff. So I’m guessing that based on what’s occurred that whomever was overflown got a short notice warning of the...

US Army wanted 50-65mm, (the MICV requirement document had that range), in which they still believe is an autocannon in a 45-50t vehicle. The entire theory in that is multiple rounds in short succession to defeat a MBT, and a large enough payload for HE/HEI on dismounted troops. I think...

Not wrong.

Carl G with new optics… It’s a lot more practical than a towed gun or a light armored vehicle someone will try to use as a tank…

I said Russian armor for a reason. 25mm TP-T cut up the Leo turrets and hulls on the ranges in Wx, and non DU APSDFS cut up T-72 hulls in ranges in Afghanistan. I wouldn’t recommend 25mm APFSDS-DU as a primary anti-tank round, but in-extremis it’s going to give a Russian tank a bad day —...

I would assume that JSOC and Ground Branch as well as Israeli assets are all over the area, with kill lists. POTUS’s message was pretty clear. While the translation of this isn’t verified- it is interesting

You bring up a key point. Far to often Comms is just viewed solely as hard comms - data and voice transmission. Things get siloed then as there isn’t the thought to Information Management (or sometimes the IM aspect gets solely looks at as the tech nerds). Strat Comms is often overlooked...

US made firearms can be re-imported provided they meet certain eligibility requirements. Cannot be a Lend Lease item (I ran into that with my 1943 Ithaca 1911A1 in Iraq) as the USG views them still as theirs. Cannot be an automatic, (or CA - as we don't have CA laws here, we use once a MG...

But not a tank. You cede certain capabilities at that point. Quite honestly, I don’t get the idea of putting a tank gun, on an IFV hull. Based on what it has been showing with the 25 mm cannon on the Bradley’s in Ukraine, the APFSDS-DU Round can reliably punch through any opposition main...
