Need Help Identifying A US Military System
Youtube ^ | 2-19-2015 | TCRLAF

Posted on 02/19/2015 5:46:56 PM PST by tcrlaf

LifeNews is showing a video of a system in 3 transport crates, with lettering in English, that was found in a wrecked Kiev encampment in Debaltseve. I believe it was the 40th Regiment's HQ.

Start at4:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjf95WiAo3g#t=254

They don't really show it well, but my guess is that it could be a Sat Communications System. Others on another website are saying it's likely a US Counter-Mortar Radar.

I thought the wealth of knowledge on FR might be able to answer this question?

Ok...
Someone on another website says it is an AN/TPQ-49 Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (LCMR)

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Yep thanks to dipsh*ts like you and Air Farce personnel that don’t think they’re really in a military branch. If I had pulled crap like this during the Cold War Article 15 was in my future.

It’s all over the internet now.

"If classified information should be disclosed to the public, through publication in the mass media or through other means, its classification status does not change. It is still classified information."

One of the things I remember from my SECRET briefing.

While I’m not too familiar with counter mortar systems, I do know that the crate is too small for the unit. That said, each crate might contain components to assemble. It’s not a small unit, but can be static on the ground, or mobile attached to a HMMWV.

Back in the day, counter battery was integrated in the bed of a deuce and a half.

“All over the Internet” is different from properly identified by someone knowledgeable.

We don’t need to add reliable information to such discussions. That’s like disclosing the code name for Al Qaeda’s top mole in our government (it’s Papa-Oscar-Tango-Uniform-Sierra, but announcing that might helps someone with access to other information to figure out who the terrorist spy really is).
