It just screams early 90´s and poor tasteOriginally posted by Torien View PostNice video.
The STRIX is in use and is AFAIK the only IR-guided mortar bomb out there. I know that both Israel, Russian and the US have been experimenting with GPS as well as laserguided munitions for mortars, but I dont know how succesfull they have been.
I belive the STRIX costs around 40.000 USD per bomb which makes it quite cost efficent when aimed at tanks."The secret of war lies in the communications" - Napoleon BonaparteComment

In the 80's the British developed and experimented with an 81mm mortar round that was Radar guided. It was called Merlin.Originally posted by Pergite View PostWinnie says

Oops, I better post something, how about this?

Quantum mechanics describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd! - Richard Feynman

Is it a Boys type auto anti tank rifle???‘Tis said his form is tiny, yet
All human ills he can subdue,
Or with a bauble or medal
Can win mans heart for you;
And many a blessing know to stew
To make a megloamaniac bright;
Give honour to the dainty Corse,
The Pixie is a little shite.Comment
