It’s significant that they are using western guns in the Bakhmut area, and have not reserved all of them for the Southern offensive.
Encircled by a wave of shrapnel. That is just terrifying.
You can do roughly the same with fragmentation air bursts of conventional rounds. But for dug in troop’s especially those who have built side hide holes to protect from fragmentation from above cluster needed.
Wonder how my multi level smaller stick weave bunker roof I built in US Army Basic Officer training would work compared to the bigger wood the others were getting with much delay of the chainsaw.
I surprised the Officer in charge when Confronted with my unconventional roof when U jumped up and down full 200lbs roughly of me on the Roof to show it held as well as larger wood pieces.
I was working on science that equal thickness of smaller wood would work just as well as logs. Seamed to be very true.
Question is would the bomblets penetrate the same or would my construction possibly ablate deflecting some of the penetration throwing wood parts in air increasing resistance or would the small air gaps make my roof slightly less resistant.
Of course if it ablated is effectiveness would decline with each hit.
And if it penetrated both with ease would not matter. Wood roof fighting position main purpose is preventing fragmentation damage from conventional rounds air burst.
Also wonder why I not seen any of these roofed fighting positions with gun ports in Ukraine. Germans loved to do them along with Japanese in WWII.
Why flamethrowers very useful to have vs them.
It should be possible to make way safer than WWII flamethrowers for modern use. Modern composite armor for fuel tanks and way better design and construction firing device that prevents backfiring lighting user on fire. This where the flame comes into the hoses and tanks when your firing it outward. Real flamethrowers use a petroleum fuel mix somewhat like Napalm so it sticks to targets and burns very fatal weapon often totally charing the target. Can be cold fired where you spray the fuel around then light when enemies enter it.
Old flamethrowers dropped because of to many operators being burned especially if easy to puncture tanks hit by almost anything.
