Neat.

The size of the warhead appears to be quite different between the photo of the weeds and the photo of the smartphone.

>>64683703
The front fell off without exploding? Is that usual?
>>
>>64683851
It's one of those contingencies you have to keep an eye on. Failure to launch, failure to navigate, failure of terminal guidance, failure to detonate, failure to destroy the target, and probably several others I'm not thinking of. If you're half-decent at statistics, you can actually get pretty good information on exactly how likely each one of these is to occur, and then if you put them all together, you get the mathematical odds that the weapon will not do the job. Obviously, the weapon failing to do the job is not ideal, so you add more weapons until you're well over 99% odds that at least one of them will get the job done.

drumpf is hitting Nigger now? did they insult Israel or something?

>>64683891
They're killing Christians, actually. Trump is doing something based for once. Seems we're allowed one based Trump action per month and the rest are cringe.

ISIS in Niger to be exact

>>64683703
>mfw i see big bomb on the ground
>>
>>64683703
ISIS is an Israeli proxy, so when they shoot the Tomahawks at them they delete the final arming instruction, miss by a little bit, and this is the result. Satisfying optics while protecting assets.
>>
>>64683891
Blowing up ISIS kidnappers. Its not bad. But its a very expensive way to do that, and wont really amount to anything long term. The second the USN fucks off. They will go back to kidnapping and ransoming people.

This is punishment for using TLAMs when there were air assets in theater that could've dropped a $20k JDAM. What a waste.

dis is de thing dem Russia Today be saying west white pipo do be de gen rated dey don do counting or dem books no more an such wit the man bum sex

by firing off the tomahawks that were ready to go tp Ukraie at nigeria and syria Trump and hegseth can say they won't send any to Ukraine for fren vladimir and make comrade vance smile

It really is that simple

>>64683896
It's not based actually, it gives credence to ISIS' claims of being based defenders of the faith against infidels.

When I was in Niger years ago, I almost shit my pants the first time I went off base because I almost drove over a 155 that was half buried on the road. Long story short the Nigeren army had abandoned the base we were staying at years ago and just left all their shit lying around there, so the locals took everything and used the artillery shells to line the sides of the road so that there would be a visible path when sandstorms occurred.

Nigerian gov asked for it. Trump wanted to put on a show. Both for them and home audiences. It's likely that this is calculated to show African countries that the US will do shit for them if they ask nicely and offer a minerals deal.
>>
>>64683896
Based. I’ve always wondered why the Christian world doesn’t help their Christian brothers even if they’re African like brown Muslims do with black Muslims. Iirc Italy even proposed it but Germany blocked the proposal because stability in Africa le bad due to less Africans coming to Germany.

In short Niger is finding out why a country should get it's population growth under control, they now have more people than they can feed or police.

This means the people living in the food insecure regions (mostly the north) are getting a little cranky because the only way they can survive is by predation. In the North-East it's ISIS affiliates kidnapping people and stealing all they have, in the North West it's unaffiliated groups of bandits doing the same.

Because they've been attacking southwards where more Christians live the Trump admin believes the Muslims are targeting Christians, and decided to bomb the Muslims.

#1 Christianity is an inherently European religion (eastern mystic base but mostly just rebranded paganism) and blood outweighs religion anyways

#2 there are Arab Muslims then there's everyone else, Arabs will act brotherly but they consider the rest to be chattle along for the ride and they're not really wrong
>>
>>64684171
It's called pidgin, where you simplify the fuck out of your language to make it easier for the locals to communicate in something you can understand. If you're ever met a Hawaiian with one of those really thick accents, that's what they're speaking.
>>
>>64684171
It's to English (UK) as ebonics is to English (American).
>>
>>64683902
You bet they used the oldest missiles in their inventory for that strike.
>>
>>64683703
Why does the base of the warhead look like it has several rings of bearings on it? It doesn't spin so it wouldn't be some sort of arming mechanism.
>>
>>64684187
> 2 there are Arab Muslims then there's everyone else, Arabs will act brotherly but they consider the rest to be chattle along for the ride and they're not really wrong
Looking at the countless wars in the Middle East I doubt it. Muslims only support eachother when facing non Muslims like what they’re doing in Africa where Muslim counties openly support and supply ISIS against Christian Africans. Same thing in the west with Muslims migrants, first targeting the native non Muslims then after establishing their ghettos fighting eachother.
>>
>>64684371
Probably related to commonality and standardization of parts.
>standard size fuze screws into the inner "ring"
>exterior ring (diameter can vary between variants) welded/glued to the hardened steel case
>both rings are connected by a third 'lid' ring
>>
>>64684398
>commonality
Ah, that makes sense. Adaptor rings, the warhead probably gets used for multiple munitions. Thanks.

you mean the "christians" american missionarys created who then started bullying and fighting non-christians in the region?

this whole shitshow is the fault of evangelicals.

radical religion is naturally occurring, yes, because its a means of control. you can use it to make dumb people kill other people with zealous enthusiasm.
