why arent low cost close range AT weapon made anymore?
>>65324176They are
>>65324176Its called a remote-EFP, nowadays Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) made them on any given day with almost zero funds just by sticking some explosive behind a guardrail. Detonated by a farmer in a bush for a fraction of a dollar.That shit would cut right through any IFV or APC the occupiers were fielding and render MBTs immobile in a single hit.
???
>>65324200Ive seen russian dropped off by btr with just a rifle and the ukranian drove a tank 50mt from em.
>>65324213russians are retarded and unequipped
>>65324176What the fuck are you goddamn talking about you fucking retard? They never ever stopped making them.The first Panzerfausts had 30m of range, which is retard close, hence it was upped to 60m relatively soon, and eventually twice that, because nobody wants to get within 60m of an enemy tank if they can ever help it, let alone 30m.

what do you think the AT4 is?
>>65324176Because being far away from the tank is vastly preferable to being close to it.
>>65324955Maybe the tank just wants a hug?
>>65324204This shit is terrifying
>>65324204>>65326038Friend of mine went on two tours in Afghanistan and his units job was to patrol and secure the perimeter around a very busy and important NATO-Airbase.Meaning they would ride around and check all the settlements, roads, hillsides, and even specific patches of foliage in a radius of up to 10-15 kilometers from the base to make sure nothing threatening ever came into mortar of ATGM range of the airbase.He said EFPs were the single most scary thing, because they were often harder to spot and disable than conventional road-side bombs and some of them used optical triggers, others were remotely operated. They caused more death and destruction in the ranks of the coalition forces than all of the other weapons al-qaeda fielded against them combined.
>>65325961No means no!
>>65324176Most estimates put a kamikaze FPV at around $400, or double that if it uses fiber optics. For something that can be launched from ten miles away and doesn't require line of sight, it's hard to do better than that.
>>65324176>low costMIC's gotta make their money somehow
>>65327148The MIC can make good money on things like bulk sales of modernized and relatively inexpensive M72 LAWs, it's the 66mm version of being contracted to produce small arms ammunition, which is a teat that the military will suckle on for a good and long time, because they need that sweet milk you've got.Say, anyone get thirsty just now?
