Pimp My Tank, Saturdays at 1600.
-
The M483A1 DPICM round has a top down firing shaped charge that is supposed to be able to penetrate ~7cm of RHA and there are 88 (64 M42 grenades and 24 M46 grenades) sub munitions in each projectile. They both have aout 1.1 oz composition A5 explosively shaped charges but one has a scored surface for greater fragmentation. When doing fire for effect, we'd typically receive a battery 3 (6 guns, 3 rounds each) giving us around 1500 bomblets in a specific area (open or closed sheaf). I guess this charge is enough to set off ERA?

Beowulf is West Saxon Old English. As mentioned, it declined considerably after 1066. -

Used to have a place here in Dallas called the Heart Attack Grill. The waitresses looked like nurses. -
I'm going to be in Київ next month, but only to land and get in the car to leave. I saw a big rally on the news when I was in France last week that took place in Київ with people waving Right Sector flags with wolf hooks on them. Then a story about NATO training soldiers from Ukraine in the west of the country. Needless to say, I am not pleased seeing that going on in my home country and even less pleased seeing NATO supporting it.

I was bummed when they cancelled the XM2001. Was kind of glad to see that some of it was picked up by the FCS system for use in the XM1203 then bummed again when it was cancelled. I was really hoping for the M109 to be replaced.

The Mentors... That brings back some memories there. -
Oh, I know the M8 wasn't supposed to replace the M1. I'm saying that huge expensive fleets of MBT are not necessarily relevant to the types of warfare modern armies will be facing in the years to come. Not to get rid of them altogether or stop development of them because there will always be a need for similar vehicles. I got out of the army before any of that FCS nonsense got started but I was part of the "pre" fielding brigade of 4ID doing the Force XXI enhancements in the late 90s

I've never owned a Mosin but I've fired them a few times. I remain neutral towards them. They seem to be the perfect rifle what they needed to do during the time they needed to do it.

Heck, the block II AGS would have packed a 120mm as well as a number of other upgrades and still managed to retain air mobility and the 3 man crew. I guess it would have been successful so we cancelled it only to need something similar 15 years later. I remember how excited the Sheridan guys got about the thought of that thing being replaced by something that actually worked..

There is a cupcake bakery and pie shop my wife always likes to stop at there when we drive down to New Orleans. -
