Didn't know that such grenade exist. So does attaching 3 of these as shown in the picture gives you 3 times more explosive power?

That's why scalable. 

I think it'll be very useful in FOFO and trenches. 

Just dunno how fast to plug and play.

String them together for another application.... Entangle the enemy before exploding for a confirmed kill. Need to add a metal D ring.

Oh. And don't swing too long after activating the grenades.

A closer look on the picture, like just screw-on, few turns only, no special skill or tools required.

A typical grenade has the detonator mechanism attached to the pin assembly. 

Not sure this must do before hand with seprate spare parts or can on the spot quick change.. maybe got some IKEA method with an Allen key 😅

This is what I've been saying all the time. 

The AR is just more sexy and good if u are a skilled shooter. 

But bull pups are just better overall. Loading up tonners. Trying to climb into fibua over the window etc. 

It's more function over form.

Korea selling like hot cakes.

200 units is a lot of batteries.

Who knows... SAF tracked SPH may need a upgrade soon too.

MILAN — Finland has signed a €547 million ($642 million) contract with South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace to procure 112 additional K9 self-propelled howitzers, accelerating its artillery expansion.

Finnish authorities announced the government-to-government deal on Thursday, expected to bring its total K9 inventory to over 200 systems, making Finland the second-largest European operator behind Poland.

WW2 USA leveraged mass-production of automobiles to pivot to build tanks and planes. To sustain their global logistics, they also casually built and launched over 2,000 Liberty ships in four years, averaging two ships launched per day.

Now South Korea is doing the same (and they’ve gotten really good at making cars). Keep in mind China and Japan are also pretty good at making cars…

Everyone is moving away from bullpups. Only good thing is compactness, everything else is worse.

A gem from mahathir... for those who remember,  he said it wrt bombing singapore.

Yet it had no problem bombing the militants in sabah. Which the Russian planes didn't do.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Lahad_Datu_standoff#:~:text=An American-made F%2FA,forces moved against the gunmen.

Imo, the rmaf is in its shitty condition today because of him. The Russian planes have proven to be problematic.

Were you trained on sar21 or m16?

I belong to transition period but still m16 all the way.

I've handle the sar21, very balanced when in shooting position. 

but my friends who changed to sar21 during reservist all preferred m16. Think is muscle memory preference.

Used M16 in my 1st and 2nd stint in NS. Then reservist all the way is SAR21.

Of course, we didn't have the benefit of using a M4 version here in SG. 


Most of our combat will be FIBUA type or short distance engagements. So no need long barrel length.

Drone warfare. Not easy to take down.

I can see lots opportunities for factricides.

Kan-cheong spiders, inattentive part time draftees whose heart is not into briefings and trainings, sleep deprivation, poor planning and orders and lots more.

Compared to the slow wayang drones we see on demonstrations, this toy is probably travelling at 60-100kmh, and reaction, eyesight, lighting, terrain all play a part.

Indeed, the new frontline is extremely terrifying, and taxing on mind.

SOC and IPPT score count for nuts

 

I am not certain I will want my boy to be at the front in drone warfare... Its horrific odds just looking at it.

Probably APC with strong EM jammer may be a solution against RF types, and then there are the fiber-optic types... yikes
