Improving Portable Death
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
It is among the most horrific weapons in any army's collection: the thermobaric bomb, a fearsome explosive that sets fire to the air above its target, then sucks the oxygen out of anyone unfortunate enough to have lived through the initial blast.
Yeah, so?
In the next few months, the U.S. Army will start putting this sweeping power in the hands of individual soldiers.
Incredible. Read it.
UPDATE: Recent article confirming weapons in use by Marines. Check out the pic sequence showing what happens to a one-story brick structure.
Thanks to Allah.
