BTW, Tulip has a presicion laser-guided ‘Daredevil’ mine. It also may fire nuke mines.

It is a pretty nice technology to me, with a presicion and firepower of an airstrike lacking all the related costs.

June 1985, the Russians used the 2S4 battery against a Mujahideen stronghold that artillery could not engage.They first used a conventional HE spotting round. They then adjusted the the firing data with the laser guided “Smel’chak” round.It hit the target exactly. The 2S4 battery destroyed the Mujahideen stronghold with just twelve rounds.
