I’ll bet $1 the Indians hack this. Why fire bullets when you can just press a button and watch your enemy go splody.

That was my first thought. Why would anyone wear such a thing?

[Pelham]

that is dry humor at its finest

[Jonty30]

It strikes me that this isn’t intended for the troops in Tibetan, but India.

[bitt]

so ingenious!

they must have stolen the technology from Dr. Emanuel..

[Brown Deer]

Is it true that Biden is negotiating with China to obtain this technology for the U.S. forces?

There was a science fiction series based on this concept, by Jack Vance.

Each adult wears an explosive torc which can be detonated by remote command, bringing about instant death by decapitation.

In the case of the Chinese, because they will do things to your family if you don’t. However, since they have limited the size of families, this might not work out so well.

And crowd control

If we are going to fill our little slice of the the internet with garbage, it ought to be funny. This garbage article is a laugh riot.

Nope, with this helmet liner, if you even have a momentary fleeting thought about defecting...BOOM...SPLAT.

OK, now try not thinking about defecting. See if you can do it.

Military suicide bombers . . . don’t need a belt, just strap it on the head.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I’ve heard of exploding overcooked Egg Rolls and Won Tons but this is ridiculous.

Maybe this is called “getting a head” in the Peoples’ Liberation Army (instead of getting a promotion).

[Jan_Sobieski]

Next Volunteer! I said, NEXT VOLUNTEER!!!

[Candor7]

Exploding Heads.

Finally we have a remedy for the Jake Tappers and Jim Acosta’s of the world.

[willyd]

Going to be a tough call from the Chinese General to India when they don’t work.. have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

[Chickensoup]

Can they take it off?

[Keyhopper]

Soldier take that hill, well okay them BOOM!

[Getready]

Who is gonna fight for someone who would remotely kill you? If morale is so bad...the soldier would take off helmet and surrender (defect). Report sounds bogus. Or life in communist China not worth it.

Heck, no. Think fraggings. Armed mutinies. Long tradition in China. 2200 years ago, an illiterate peasant/squad level militia leader in China accomplished something that Spartacus couldn’t, almost a century later - put himself on the throne. It started with a mutiny.

This would make the soldiers want to strip off their equipment every time the situation gets a little dicey. It almost ensures that they’ll fall apart under stress.

What an incredibly stupid idea.
