What, no votes from the guys actually riding in these death traps? Why is it that the REMF’s get to make all these decisions?
No idea.
There’s a company that builds a little goober that consists of two steel plates with a a pressurized gap between them that has the same powder that goes into a fire extinguisher.
It isn’t very expensive, it doesn’t weigh much, it doesn’t take up much space, and when they make a box of them around a fuel tank it prevents a fire subsequent to an IED explosion some 80% of the time.
The REMFs refuse to buy and incorporate into combat vehicles because it doesn’t suppress a fire 99% of the time.
