*shoots your missile*
*missile deploys counter-missile missile*heh, nice try
>>64975863*deflects with my crimson powers* heh, nothing personal kid
>>64975863would be finny if they added a missile on top of the missile that shoots at the last second and the israeli aps added a smaller mini-launcher that shoots the mini missile before the main launcher shoots the main missile
>>64975887Half of that post actually exists funnily enough. The puccians were screaming about a new wunderwaffe they invented like a decade ago which was a regular RPG-28(?) that also had a smaller rocket that got launched right before the main one which would get intercepted by the APS, letting the main projectile slip through. Funnily you never hear anything about it anymore since it seemingly didn't work, but that didn't stop them frlm chest-thumping about it for a solid year or two before silently sweeping it under the rug.
>>64976335I think it was the RPG-30 that had the decoy rocket.I've always wondered how spotting rounds from a SMAW would work. Its got a nearly identical trajectory as the real round.
>>64975887>Great ATGMs have little APS upon their backs to intercept 'em,>And little interceptors have lesser ATGMs, and so ad infinitum.>And the great ATGMs themselves, in turn, have greater APS to go on;>While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
>>64975838It should be noted that in the clip, the Trophy does not fire
>>64976353the spotting round is just a special rifle cartridge
What happened?
>>64976668cocky missile thought it would merk the tank but tank merked missile
>>64976668Hezollah or whatnot lobs a top-attack missile at a merk tank, in which you can see the Trophy track but not fire
>>64976655>the spotting round is just a special rifle cartridgeIt's more than a little bit special.It's a 7.62 NATO case, necked up to 9mm, with the base drilled up and a .22Hornet blank shoved up its ass.Random side note. AT4 spotting/training cartridges are just 85gr 9x19mm tracer rounds with a bunch of different funky-colored paint slathered onto them.Don't try to fire those in regular guns, they just squib.
>Spearhead Tank > AGM-48 >Spearhead Tank > AGM-48 >Spearhead Tank > AGM-48 Hate that shit
>>64976353>>64976655>>64976836>mfw I had never heard of a spotting round until now. If you asked me five minutes ago what a spotting round was, I would have said "uhh, you mean a tracer?" Neat.
>>64976815Vids? I tried Google but I keep getting twitter news articles about the Gaza war from a year ago, nothing current
>>64976655>>64976836god I wish we had a confirmed kill where someone was lining up a shot on a window of a structure and some dickhead stuck his head out just as a 9mm spotting round was coming in and hit him in the facealso didn't earlier versions of the SMAW just have basically a chopped up AR-15 bolted to the side? I remember seeing a like 5-10 round stanag sticking out of what looked like the lower of an M4 and the upper basically chopped apart so its just a single shot bolt action>>64976353like the spotting rifle on this one looks way different then I remember.. maybe Im just retarded
>>64976998ive been following it there's lots of articles about it they fired dozens of ATGMs at tanks on the 8.3.2026. one of the tanks was immobilized (probably track blown in the explosion) so they called a d9 to rescue it and the d9 got hit with 2 KIA. so far these are the only IDF casualties aginst hezb/iran.op might be the tank they were rescuing
>>64977069>called in the D9>2 KIAI know they are up armored but shouldn't an M88 be the preference in an area with a ATGM threats?
>>64977107idk if they have those i know d9 is typically called to rescue tanks. they were going to put APS on the d9 at some point but the project was scrapped.
>>64976979i knew of the concept but never looked into it any further, that cutaway is a mindfuck and a half
