We used to transfer our war ammunition into the training bunkers after 3 years, when we got a new load of war reserve ammunition. Then we would shoot up the training ammunition in training. One month of war was about what we expected to shoot in 3 years of training.

I’ll bet there are a lot of guys in that army who are thinking, “I know how to get rid of them for you.” They are probably smiling very broadly at the idea, unlike the range masters, who will be wondering who will clean up the mess afterwards.

The javelin was a great leap forward from the TOW series but, when compared to the spike, it looks like it needs some upgrading. They are both soft launched, fire and forget systems with tandem charges that defeat explosive reactive armor but the spike gives you the option of correcting the flight path if desired and it can fire from the reverse slope defilade if needed and then pick out a target of opportunity thus preventing exposure of the firing team. On top of that, it’s cheaper. Raytheon and Lockheed Martin need to kick it up a notch ot two I think.

How about blowing them up in a mountain to simulate what a low yield suitcase nuclear weapon would do in an underground transit system? Stupid maybe, but blowing stuff up is always fun.

How about starting a list of 12,000 potential targets in Iran.

I have an idea. Put all of the missiles in a big hole in the ground, then sell raffle tickets, where the winner gets to push the button to blow them up.
