  1. wow lifting a 20 Ton vehicule 15 meters into the sky is terrifing.

  2. Yeah I got my shit rocked by one of these. Not only do they make big booms with ammonium nitrate, but they knew the lengths of our vehicles (with or without minerollers) and would place the detonator and main charge in such a way that the explosions would be directly under the truck. MRAP v-shaped hull saved my life.

  3. Lost a friend to an IED in 2011. RIP to everyone that lost their lives to one of these nasty bombs.

  4. My buddy got hit in a humvee with one of these suckers. Sent the transmission up into the cab and broke his femur in half. He and his crew survived though thanks God. It was just small enough not to be lethal.

  5. MRAP’s seems to be quite versatile considering similar sized explosions just evaporated the civil vehicle while MRAP’s are mostly one piece. Still that sized explosions (and flying 10 meters in a 15 ton armor) is probably have quite low survival rate but vehicles seems to doing its best.

  6. We have found your headaches to be not service connected. Thank you for your service

  7. My hearing loss, chronic migraines, and host of other TBI related issues can attest to their effectiveness. Taliban are masters at IEDs.

  8. The VA has determined that your injuries are not service connected. Thank you, have a nice day!

  9. Hard to watch knowing who’s in those vehicles, generally speaking.
