Unfortunately, this has been going on for several years in the form of announcements of contracts, DOD press releases, or just plain loose lips.

Fortunately, most of the info has been off the mark. The threat of jammers has also caused the terrorists to change their employment methods, usually making them less effective. Overall, the less said about this, the better

Is there some reason they just can't target it from a distance and fire a dozen or so heavy rounds into it? Seems t'me that ought to either detonate it or sufficiently tear it apart so it _won't_ detonate.
