I remember reading about their grunts having to actually search for scrap metal to weld onto their Humvees in Iraq.
They call it.... Hillbilly Armor. ![]()

there's so much corruption in the procurement process its not funny. there's been an ongoing pissup and investigation over body armour for a very long time, basically the inferior vendor got the contract because of some backroom deals and fudging of field test reports.
oh, and troops who choose to use their own money to buy better body armour, will not be given any death benefits if they are killed in action. go figure.

Speaking of body armour, is the SAF ever gonna issue it for our troops?
An extra four kilos of weight may be hell in training, but when the bullets start to fly for real, I'd feel a lot better wearing one.

plus your medic gear, plus 9 mags, two frags and a smoke, two litres of water, etc .... you can only waddle along then .....
a nice, slow, waddling target ....

dunno. I remember kopi saying that the assforce is too cheap to even issue decent tools.
wooo got great ball of fire along loyang avenue
i wonder if the people were speeding.
but i was thinking, should anyone feel sorry for people who die from speeding?

I already have one big red crosshairs on my upper arm anyway.
Perfect for a sniper to zero his weapon.

I remember my old CO letting a few of us try out his class IV combat vest before .... it IS heavy ... and most of them ARE a lot bigger ... and even then, they do waddle along too ... hell, even our SFG frags were customized for smaller asian hands ... we just can't hump the same amount of gear around ....
and it's not a blanket solution either ...it's hot in the tropics, and humid ... it'll be like wearing a mobile sauna ....

ah yes, that's right, I forgot ....
ever watch "letters from Iwo Jima" ? ....
the little nip LT telling his chaps to target the american medics, cos they'll risk a lot of lives to save the medics ? ... ![]()
1st target = PC
2nd target = Pl Sgt
3rd target = Pl Medic
the rest of the platoon isn't going to move after that
anyway, the coolest thing the US army is going to invest in is this hugeass remotely controllable ATV which will carry all the gear the grunts usually lug with them...
the grunts will then be in their armour, carrying basically their personal weapons.. the rest of the shit like supplies, additional ammo, support weapons, frags and whatever will be on the thing... thing is quiet as hell (i think it's electric) and can either be driven, or remotely controlled...
in the event of a firefight, it can be used for quick evacuation or to be used to hide behind as it can deflect small arms fire...
chicken king would kill his own PC first ![]()
I remember reading about the Israelis coming up with a system that can actually set up protective electromagnetic forcefields around vehicles.... I think they call it TROPHY.
I've also read about the Yanks coming up with some camouflage wear that can make grunts literally blend in with the environment.
Damn.... Star Wars and Predator in real life... ![]()
the Israelis came up with this defensice weapons system which shoots down incoming RPGs and other hard-hitting things like shells and missiles... small enough to be loaded onto a land rover sized vehicle, a few can be deployed to protect a convoy..

I think trophy's actually a projectile based system ... don't think anyone's come up with those star-wars-esque energy shield things yet ....
