Sounds like you may not have had a large mortar fired at you.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

I have, and I also went through the Forward Area Weapons course at Ft Ignorance in 1977 qualifying me on the Chaparral (sidewinder).

IMHO the chap (with its proximity fuse) has enough explosive to divert the incoming large mortar or artillery, but not enough penetration to destroy the round.

From an old US Army Air Defender standpoint, this is just more mother Raytheon crap.
