It's an HE round with a thinner shell wall filled with WP with a burst rod down the center. Typically fired with an impact or proximity fuze. M852A1 is a cargo round fired with a time fuze to dispense 116 felt wedges saturated with WP at a higher altitude. They disburse over a wider area and produce a better smoke screen than m110. The screen can be to obscure friendlies, or placed directly on top of hostiles to blind them. Eta: what you are seeing is the equivalent to our m852a1 round. |

The platform had been swamped with posts containing false reports and exaggerated figures following Hamas' unprecedented attack on Israel over the weekend.

Lobbing explosives on tiny neighboring terrorist state is best done with 155mm Artillery, and its much cheaper.

That projectile body family went out of production in the US years ago. The IDF used both US made and licensed domestic production of M825 series rounds. |

"We call on the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation, who are well aware of the grim truth about America and its aggression against the peoples of our nation in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, to denounce American intervention and the involvement of its international and regional partners and expose this intervention on all political, popular, media, and legal levels and in various regional and international forums and gatherings. "The deployment of aircraft carriers to the region with the aim of boosting the morale of the defeated enemy and its disillusioned soldiers reveals the weakness of the Zionist military machine despite the crimes and massacres it commits. Consequently, it requires continuous external support to sustain this temporary usurping entity. "Therefore, we affirm that this step will not intimidate the peoples of our nation or the resistance factions that are prepared for the confrontation until final victory and complete liberation". How many calls to jihad and chants of death to America did we get after our response to 9/11? How many actually materialized? Granted in 2001 we had and intelligence apparatus that was focused on stopping such things while now they are worried about us white supremacists as the “greatest threat to our democracytm” so I guess we’ll see. |
