More On New Man-Portable Thermobaric WeaponLauraW. already linked to one article about this, but it's worth another go-round, I think. A post-action report from Iraq describes the effect of the new weapon: "One unit disintegrated a large one-storey masonry type building with one round from 100 meters. They were extremely impressed." Elsewhere it is described by one Marine as "an awesome piece of ordnance." They're calling it an "NE" weapon, for "Novel Explosive." I do so enjoy these dry euphemisms the Pentagon employs. They used to call a-bombs "Special Weapons" or "Specials."

Yeah, you got to play in the majors to get access to the really cool stuff, but man-portable thermobarics? That's just too cool. I remember the story going around in GWI when some SAS boys working behind the lines thought the Yanks had gone nuts and started nuking Iraqi positions. We were just using Daisy Cutters to try and clear mine fields. Now we're giving on soldier the power to drop a building? Too fucking cool. Posted by: Robert Modean on November 18, 2005 01:20 PM
And I enjoyed reading the liberal pants-wetting in the comments about the use of this "immoral" weapon. You ask people to care about AMERICAN lives. It is precisely because of these attitudes that people like me project our anger about the lies and actions of the US administration onto the US soldiers.

Ah, so it's the GOVERNMENT'S fault the liberals don't support the troops, eh? Posted by: Moonbat_One on November 18, 2005 04:16 PM
I need new glasses. I read the title as "Thermo-barbaric." ;-) Posted by: Mary in LA on November 18, 2005 06:36 PM
One only major flaw in this weapon that I can see is that I can't order one on Amazon. Defense Tech's writers seem to be borderline moonbat. Posted by: holdfast on November 18, 2005 06:54 PM

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
