GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB)

a info regarding the recent strike ,where a MOAB was dropped from a MC-130 aircraft in the Achin district of Nangarhar province and contrary to public info being dished out to avoid diplomatic complications, its primary target was to disable a foreign intelligence operatives network / infra in support of a banned terror group, housed underground in a network of caves/tunnels.the terrorists killed was a added bonus.

the intel effort post and pre strike was kind of a joint effort by 3 intel orgs from 3 countries.

note: this is a personal take, so take it with a pinch of salt

MikeCZA:
As you lack funds you approach me then we put rockets and bombs on that baby! MORE DAKKA!

Anyway! There's an Israeli system( Airborne Robotic Weapon System) for helicopters which is carried inside a utility helicopter it deploys a gatling gun when needed under the belly of the helicopter. The gun can traverse 360 degrees.

Say you take the Robotic Weapon System without the robotic arm and mount it on the belly of the Paramount's Mwari which has a remove-able belly pod.

Here you have system with a: Sensor ball, Counter measures, a gatling gun, hard points to carry fuel tanks, bombs, gun pods, missiles, rockets etc. MORE DAKKA!!

Now we call sell this system like hot cakes!

The Rhodesians were applying lessons and tactics learned/used by the Portuguese in Angola. I'll share a paper on special forces if I find it from the Portuguese in Angola, Rhodesians and later Safers.

Israeli system( Airborne Robotic Weapon System) did not know about that, will look it up later

dont know much about Mwari personally, but Paramount will obviously find a way to implement desired changes if they deem so.

lets say

MikeCZA needs MORE DAKKA!! only with Sensor ball, Counter measures, a gatling gun, hard points to carry fuel tanks, bombs, gun pods, missiles, rockets etc.

MikeCZA is a super rich dude (in context of being available to afford everything)

and

nemesis2u needs MORE DAKKA!! only with EO pod , a high caliber 20+ mm dual feed autocannon and turret combi with a 360 degree horizontal X 180 degree vertical freedom of movement and fuel tanks.

nemesis2u is a self sufficient middle class dude (in context of being able to utilize efficiently what can be afforded)

Hard to believe.

Here's my take: A top secret special forces unit with the real spear of destiny in their possession were seating on the fence between capture and being killed to stop the spear from falling into the wrong hands of a rorret organization the MOAB was used as part of the FPF.

I know some of you will say there are more chances of seeing a unicorn than this happening.

i think they employed psychics to penetrate my cognitive thoughts while i slept through to steal my ideas

jokes aside , i wonder if the gatling gun would be higher in caliber than 7.62mm ?

A few years back the Russians solved the age old problem of artillery-how to increase the firing rate without wearing away the tube rifling.

They developed a twin,over and under barrel Self Propelled Howitzer, with each firing in quick succession.

Alas! It doesn't seem to have gone beyond the demonstrator shown here and the Ukrainians will never experience a Multiple Simultaneous Round Impact of 16 152 MM rounds.

Now it remains a single barrel.

also,
Indigenous Ku-band active radar seeker was integrated with the Astra the missile in weapon system configuration on the Su-30 aircraft and was able to successfully track the target Su-30 aircraft during trials..

DRDO’s Astra missile until now carried a variant of the 9B1103M active radar seeker used in the Vympel R-77 BVRAAM procured from Russian radar seeker design bureau AGAT.

Research Centre Imarat, Hyderabad, has developed a Ku-band seeker for Astra missile which is a scaled down version of an existing active radar seeker developed by DRDO.

Captive fight trials of first indigenous Ku-band active radar seeker were successfully carried out from Su-30 aircraft in February 2016 at AF station, Pune.

In 1898 the real owners of the US savoured the taste of imperialism dismantling the Spanish in Cuba and then taking over their Philippinnes colony. At least 200k Philippinnos died by the time the war ended in 1902.

US servicemen quickly realised their .38 revolvers had little effect on the Moros. John Browning developed the answer-a semi auto pistol firing a larger round.

Those claims were put to a torture test in 1910 when a prototype Colt M1911 fired 6,000 rounds during two days. Browning’s sample pistol became so hot that he dunked in a pail of water to cool it for further firing—and yet it passed the test with no malfunctions. The nearest competition suffered 37 jams.

Btw,the 1911 set the template for ALL SEMI AUTOS. Brownings,CZ-75s and Markarovs all followed his basic design while all manufacturers including the largest like HK and Sig produce the original versions. Also,the only reason the US went for the Beretta in the 80s was that Italy insisted on it as the price for the continued presence of their bases.

how small things matter

some months ago india tested the nibhay 1000-1500km range cruise missile.

however the test failed becz one the wings deployed late by some milliseconds which resulted in the INS giving wrong updates as a result the missile veered off course and was remotely detonated.

further inquiry found out that the wing deployment fault was induced during reassembly of the cruise missile at the test site. from the lab the missile is broken down for transport to test site , where it is reassembled again.

so lesson was learnt and need was felt transportation of assembled missile from its integration centre to the launch station without dismantling the various sections. thus a dedicated special transportation container designed for transportation of cruise vehicle with proper packing was designed and is being realized presently.

lol design iterations of NAMICA nag missile carrier

pic 1 first version

pic 2 second version

pic 3 current version (hopefully final)

in the last trials a couple of months back , the current version of NAMICA was able to seach , identify , lock and engage a target at 5kms distance successfully in Thar desert.

javelin and spike failed during trials for a man portable competitive trial a year or 2 back.both the missiles seekers failed at the high temperatures encountered in Thar desert.

but spike was selected after trials were held again with relaxed conditions as requirement for man portable ATGMs was urgent.

however the army refused the same relaxations to its domestic NAG ATGM (which unfortunately is not man portable) which was required to hit targets as close as 400m to max of 5 kms.

shiiit hole foreign product loving army generals

however a man portable derivative of NAG is in advantage stages of development.

Let me guess: Syria or Ukraine?

my last post today

how western media ends up with egg or better shiit on its face every time it tries to make fun of a developing nations aspirations

BBC ( British bitching corporation ) quote from an article who again quotes from NYT ( nonsense yelling turds )

" The New York Times presciently wrote that "India is not likely to have its own manned space programme for a long time, if ever, and Mr Sharma's flight may well be the last by an Indian for a long time." Thirty-three years later, Mr Sharma remains the only Indian to travel to space. "

ISRO recently saught permission to build indias own space station , preliminary work on it has already begun.

IMO i think they will go for a smaller sized space station, or even robotized self sufficient nano space stations with a limited life span to conduct experiments in space.

this will take 10 years at the minimum, as technologies have to be proven first for the realization of a space station.

AFAIK ISRO plans to perform docking and undocking with statellites in the near future , objectives r two fold
1.to refuel / repair satellites
2.to validate docking undocking mechanism for possible space station implementation.

in parallel work is progressing on indias first attempt for indigenous human space flight mission.

also interesting is the fact that when US turned down india request to buy a supercomputer from CRAY INC , the western media made fun doubting indias requirement of such high technology .

india made a supercomputer within 1-2 years all by herself after the refusal , and funnily on the very day of its inauguration CRAY INC filed for bankruptcy.

now india exports supercomputers to numerous countries including russia , japan etc

talk about digging ones own grave

Seened:

Let me guess: Syria or Ukraine?

terrain does not match Ukraine,

ukranians r talented, wont bother with such childish contraptions

it is syria or iraq

@MikeCZA

just out of curiosity, do u think Mwari will be able to sport a autocannon - turret combi of the type i proposed below its central fuselage ?

nemesis2u:
well i dont know about the presence of INA troops in the solomons campaign, INA became active in august 1942 , solomons campaign started in january 1942 . INA campaign is well documented , u can cross reference it. Japanese also did not trust the INA too much or had too much confidence on them, so reason why they were used in the indo burmese theater mainly becz the japanese knew their and the INA interests converged there, and not elsewhere.

INA fought in heavy numbers AFAIK in Burma and Malaysian theater only (in asia) , so i am confused here , japs agreement with INA was that , INA will contribute to their war efforts which directly involve attacking british india. they will not participate in other Japanese campaigns elsewhere

getting classified info on INA is hard , it is still a taboo in India due to possible domestic political and foreign geo political upheavals , also many classified/de-classified INA related docs r heavily redacted , it would be impossible to make any sense out of them.

plus if INA operated in solomons campaign , that info or any related info would be part of Japanese govt. archive

i have heard of solomon island giants.
hope someday we can get more concrete info on this.

There are 3 Giant types:

To my understanding, there are three different species or types of these Giants. The larger and more commonly seen are over 10 foot tall, but I have come across numerous Islander accounts with evidence that supports that they do grow much taller than that. These Giants have very long black, brown or reddish hair, or a mixture and when they want to have a good look at you, they pull it aside from their face with one hand. They have a protruding double eyebrow, bludging red eyeballs, and flat nose wide gapped mouth facial features, and have an unmistakeable odour, which the coastal people would once use as a sign of their presence, depending on the wind. From the large hairy type, they range down in size with reducing amounts of body hair. The smaller version, although bigger than normal human beings, are like a wild man living in the jungle and are not as hairy as the big ones.

Imo,they don't live so much underground but rather in the inner Earth (hollow Earth). They're def humanoid as they've bred with human females.

Apart from the two huge tall half-cast Giant women that can be found living at Northeast Guadalcanal, there are half-cast and quarter cast huge men who have eight-cast children to Guadalcanal women, which are still living today at Tangarare of the Weather Coast of Southwest Guadalcanal. Anyone can go and see these huge inter-species-bread people. Even though “Silver” died in the early 1990s, “Genny” his son and his children, some who have bread themselves, are still alive. The huge quarter-cast Giant Genny is renown by the people of his area for being able to selfishly eat a whole pig by himself, bones and all.

The flying ET manlike reptilian ET has been mentioned in PNG,IIRC there was a doc on it.

nemesis2u:
we must always try to learn from others mistakes rather than commit one ourselves and then learn were we went wrong, look at the F35 or the LCA even they tried to make these platforms fit every every possible role which ended up being the bane of these projects.

it is always best to make a specific purpose system to deal with a specific task , it is always handy to have a secondary role if possible , provided it is feasible especially if it is a expensive system.

but here we r dealing with a low cost system, so we can afford to have a specific role variant in addition to the normal variants.

both of them can then operated in tandem in light of the operational needs.

if u need to take out entrenched terrorists or blast fortified encampments then send in the normal variants loaded with PGMs and rockets etc.

but if u need to take out roving technicals and groups of mobile terrorists or relieve besieged defenders then send in ur customized variants.

or even send a combination of the two as per operational needs.

yes i agree with u that twin turboprops would be a better solution , in terms of safety, load and power needs.

however here i must mention the turret system and the gun combo has to be selected /designed first so that all the parameters like load bearing , recoil forces, stress and shear break points, undercarriage clearance , vibration levels etc r available first hand , and then based on these parameter the best suited turboprop be selected , which then will need to undergo strengthening of the fuselage and other necessary changes to allow installation of the turret gun combo and its operation with the desired performance.

much like how the A10 was designed around the main gun, similarly here the aircraft will be selected on the basis of suitability for the turret gun combo.

i dont see the need for a twin barrel / or a 37 mm caliber gun, IMO a single barrel 20 , 23 , 25mm dual feed auto cannon will be sufficient, the primary requirement in todays age is effects based warfare , u need to put shells accurately on the target, not all over the target. the concept of heavy overwhelming firepower is a thing of the past.

OODA loop is what we require ,
observe (through EO pods)
orient (maneuver into best firing position)
decide (get a fix, confirm , select weapon of engagement and prioritize the targets )
act (engage for kill/kills for one shot one kill at the minimum)

these is something 2 or more african countries can pool their resources together to modify a system to their specific needs.

Is anyone at your end working on such a concept? Can you share 3D renderings if any? I'd also have semi fixed guns firing flat, variable to -5 to 10 degrees below vertical.

from the pics it seems space is there, but will there be enough ground clearance ?

and man where did they hide the landing gear ? , cant spot it .

u remember the DUKE video , one of the reason why the Israelis opted for post flight airborne robotic weapon system deployment is becz of the issue of low ground clearance of helicopters (generally).

so after the heli gets airborne the system is designed to gets deployed thereby negating the said issue of ground clearance.
