Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dewoitine: How dare you! Nazi! Baby killer! As we have signed some treaties against anti-personnal mines and submunitions, only AT mines are currently allowed in the minotaur. AT mines which can be booby-trapped and who will go kaboom if they detect a mine detector  We also signed the Ottawa Treaty banning anti-personnel mines. So we re-classified them as "defensive charges".

French army are now calling them "Counter Clearance Mines". "See mister treaty? That's not some AP mines but they will explode if you touch them or if they detect any kind of magnetic field". |

The 'leads' extending from the AT-2 Anti Tank mine, are they a type of 'vibration sensor' that arms it?

I was at Ft Bliss in 1984 when they were testing the Sgt York, with an ROTC trip. Sure looked impressive, and to us younger idiots, though it seemed like an American version of the ZSU 57 2, but a good way to recycle old M48 hulls that ere still good, save money in a peace time cash strapped military. However, it was a complete failure.

Two assault vehicles (engins d'assaut, EA) from Dinassaut 8 during a patrol and escort mission, August 1952. These French-made assault vehicles equipped the Dinassaut in addition to or replacing the LCVP (Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnal). As with the latter, EA operated in pairs. More pictures here |

Before the factory made kits started showing up I had been beating my head against the wall asking; why are we having to start from scratch, why weren't we prepared for the mission? How many people died before the up-armor kits got to theater? It's a shame that we throw away the lessons from previous conflicts so quickly. <End of rant, now back to our regular scheduled programing). |
