I would like to see the faces of a theoretical army invading the U.S. when their first artillery barrage gets blown up mid-flight. I assume it would be similar to this :(
@janicewatersteen Hahaha.. how naive and stupid you are. You actually bought the military bullshit the US army fed you? All of these systems are money cows.. Look up how effective the Patriot system was.. Not that good.. no..
k, just for clarity, i had a broken leg and was messed up on pain pills when i wrote that. i still like the idea, and ya obviously it is a cash cow, it spits 30mm bullets like a water hose. so duh, but i still like the concept.
This was in 2006, I was directly under this morter attack when it happend. I was on the phone with my home base and had to let them go. I believe this was filmed by the oncoming shift waiting for the bus about half a mile away. I still have this footage on CD added to a video slide show.
Wow, wish they had that mortar-interception stuff when I was there. Too many nights' sleeleep disturbed by the sounds of explosions and instantly hopping out of bed for the bunker.
You still should head for the bunker. C-RAM is PRIMARILY an early warning system (alarms) for incomming rounds. The intercept portion isn't 100% effective. Better to be safe than dead.

Would have been nice in '04 when it was 10-15 a night inbound!

The C-RAM that night didn't get all of them, there were about 2-3 that made it through.
