the device you’re thinking about is called rifle grenade (soldiers already carry rifles with them)
sometimes 40mm UBGL fills the same role. grenade throwing device like this would probably require different fuzes (longer delay) and it will be much less controllable than anything actually launched (you don’t want live grenades ending up nearby by accident, not an option with rifle grenades or 40mms)
the entire idea kinda died off because you can’t fit in rifle grenade anything actually useful against tanks for example, but one resurgence would be 82mm mortars attached to PG-7 series rocket engine and launched from RPG-7, used by Ukrainians
Turkey had an election a few month ago, and Erdogan is in the “Turkey Stronk” party. So they have to look like they’re “coming down” on Sweden for bonus points. Now that he’s been re-elected, he can stop burning what little international goodwill Turkey has left.
Also stupid, he was never going to get f35s and everyone around him has them.
Should have played it cooler, taken the f35s, s400s do him no good against anyone he’s pissed at, he should have known it then, it’s proven beyond a shadow of a doubt now.
At this point I don’t understand why he doesn’t just offer to ship his s400 to Nevada in exchange for F35s, since the platform is very clearly little more than strongman bait. I guess that would require him to admit he got duped.
The real question is, did it start as a joke, or start as a fetish? ‘Cause we all know the internet was gonna’ draw metal titties the second someone said, “attack helicopter” even as a joke.
It knows this, because it knows what you really don’t. By subtracting what you want from what you don’t; or what you don’t want from what you do, whichever is greater. It obtains a difference, or deviation.
