G'morning Vern,
VH> They were cute little things -- they could "squat" to lower their
VH> silhouette for anti-tank work. Of course, what good a low-velocity 105
VH> would do in that role is beyond me.
One of NZ's WW2 good guys was named Voss, who retired from the
Army in the 60's. He won his Military Medal by taking out Tiger
tanks in the desert, using his overcoat.
Dont know if you've met a British Army Great Coat, a huge woolly
tent intended to keep WW1 off the wearer and impossible to fold,
pack or dispose off ? Owners tended to misuse them on leave for
frollicking the local lasses in, once an empty field or park had
been recce-ed.
Young Voss used to get upset by maurauding tanks, so he'd take his
issue greatcoat and stuff it in the tank's track guides where it
would jam that side. Then he'd ride the beast until the hatch
would open to determine why the machine could only circle.
A grenade went inside while Voss sat on the hatch ... working out
where to get another greatcoat from. Fortunately, there were many
offers to keep him supplied....
I'm sure he'd have found a use for an Itey 105....
MM>A walk-thru blast box that delivers a seriously massive EM pulse
MM>or two strikes me as a likely start...
VH> The problem is, how do you get them to walk through it?
How about a couple of decent coils, one each side of any central
approach road ? Easily moved so that dispatching agencies might
not easily work out why their fanatics prematurely pop ?
We stop runaway cars thisaway - why not explosive toting clods ?
VH> The variety of attack methods is endless, from mines, to
VH> command-detonated bombs, to car bombs to suicide bombers -- afoot, in
VH> cars, or in aircraft.
Ironically, as the WW2 OSS and company used to teach...
VH> The only solution on the horizon is to root them out. And to do that,
VH> we have to isolate them, politically, culturally and financially.
VH> Fortunately, we seem to be doing fairly well at that.
And should improve as we get the hang of it.
:-))
