See how simple it is to make shaped charges and note the weight of the pipe containing it.

I'm finding the convergence of war and my hobby interesting, drones, Stingers, Javelins and NLAWs are changing the nature of modern land warfare and changing history in the fight for liberal democracy, two other interests of mine. The fight for liberal democracy interests me whether in America politically or in Ukraine with conventional warfare.You should head over to Ukraine and offer your services as a military consultant.

Vlad has mostly an old fashioned tank army a relic of WW2 blitzkrieg attacks and armor punching through with close air support and roaming the enemy rear sowing confusion and destruction, enveloping the enemy in great pincer movements. Well Stingers and Javelins with small tank hunting teams took that off the table and as stated, the dumb bastard is stuck on the roads and can't bypass built up areas because of mud.
It's history in the making Canuck and a struggle for freedom by a brave and determined people who are underdogs, of course it would get the attention of anybody with a fucking brain and pulse.
Sure next time I'm there- I was hoping you were in Colorado..nice pic!
If I'm ever that way I truly will look you up..was in Nashville for a meeting August 2018.

it just makes me wonder what is coming to warfare next.
the advances in miniaturization of components, the advances in the size and storage capacity of batteries makes me think directed energy weapons aren't a long way off. soldiers with laser rifles that can cut through tanks, buildings, knock aircraft, at least low flying ones, out of the sky...not a lot of defense against a weapon like that. a smooth mirrored surface might help, but it would have to be a very tough material, any defect would turn into a hotspot and melt down...perhaps some kind of ceramic plates would help...but a good salvo of conventional explosive artillery would knock a lot of that out, and open structures, vehicles, and men to attack...
and i had hoped that by the time we were close to that kind of technology, we would all be getting along better,and wouldn't need it

The Ukrainians should attack the Kremlin in Moscow with a couple of low flying jets like the Brits attacked Berlin in WW2 with their Mosquito aircraft.
What a propaganda coup that would be!
Preferably with fire bombs so the population of Moscow could not avoid seeing the huge plumes of smoke rising

Göering was not amused: He said
“ In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft, but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy.
The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again.”
— Hermann Göering, January 1943

Canada will be getting Switchblades after this, or we will be making cheaper better ones ourselves. They simply give our troops too many advantages not to. Also future cheap drones will be starlink satellite controlled, Uncle Sam wants it or would be mad not to, so Elon just got an eyewatering government contract with black budget funds, welcome to the industrial military complex Elon.You should head over to Ukraine and offer your services as a military consultant.

Directed energy with enough power to destroy targets is very hard to do and impossible to backpack or even mount on a small vehicle. You can fry electronics with such a device, but if there is no radio receiver, electronics can be shielded with copper foil and grounding. GPS guided munitions are hard to stop flying low and slow while maneuvering on their attack run automatically to avoid fire. Attacking at night would be even worse for them, especially id they have no night vision equipment. I mean using that stuff Ukrainians can spot drones in the cold sky watching them and could even attack them using RC planes or drones to zoom up and destroy them using various methods including FPV.
You can make an EMP bomb to wipe out local electronics. They wrap a coil around a foam center like a golf ball elastic and use explosives lenses to collapse it like an A bomb, when the coil is charged momentarily with a very high voltage. The imploding and compressed coil, along with the collapsing electromagnetic field, generates a large EMP that can knock out power and electronics over an area.

while i agree with you, and would do that myself, that kind of attack has become associated with terrorism, and could tarnish the reputation of the Ukrainians, which is a valuable weapon in and of itself at the moment.The Ukrainians should attack the Kremlin in Moscow with a couple of low flying jets like the Brits attacked Berlin in WW2 with their Mosquito aircraft.

I think everybody should hold off on major purchases until the reports on this war are written and the lessons absorbed. Keeping in mind who you will be fighting in the future. The Russians will be blead white and crippled after this bullshit for a decade, all the brains are leaving and the technocrats are getting old, as they screwed the education system even before the collapse of the soviet union. Vlad put arms before education, a short sighted policy to say the least. No wonder they are carting hundreds of the poor ignoramuses off to hospital after digging foxholes in a radioactive dead zone, ignorance kills, it is not bliss, they panicked when they learned the truth after some became sick. The poor kids were murdered by callousness, ignorance, incompetence, stupidity and corruption, but then again every Russian killed in Ukraine was or will be.Toronto, Canada and Global Breaking News – CP24

Smart ways of fighting can save lives, yours and theirs, it includes generous surrender terms and using maneuver or technology to cut off troops and kill the bastards making them fight. Not nearly as effective with the Ukrainians, kill their officers and then you'll be up against their sergeants who might be even tougher, then the corporals, that's what rank is suppose to be for. The US Marines work the same way.callousness...although you could know something about it i don't
