"The device, dubbed the Stingray, is made of clear plastic and carries water with an explosive in it. When that explosive is detonated, it creates a shock wave that travels through the water and accelerates it inward toward a concave opening. This forms a thin blade of high-speed water with enough power to slice through a steel IED. And behind the blade of water is a slug of water that penetrates the IED and tears apart its inner workings."
When actuated, Exit projects a jet of water vertically with such force that the bottom of the vehicle is penetrated and the bomb ejected through the boot lid or the roof. Detonating cord is severed by the jet without initiation.When filled two holes through the case allow remote control vehicle to carry the device to the target, deposit it at the chosen point, and withdraw.
so you still go in without gloves, and lets face it, that suit won't do shit. and above all of that, using water!? something that probably isn't readily available in both fronts of the war to citizens, albeit at least getting it easily. This is a waste of money, and energy
This is my understanding and i may be wrong, the device use c4 which when detonated forces the water out at high speed disrupting the ied, instead of setting the ied off it blows it apart reducing the danger.
Complicated crap... Why the hell do you need water? Just put a normal penetrator charge next to the IED... It'll do exactly the same job at about 20% of the cost.
Also, watch out for the towel-head with the remote... He's watching you place your "new & improved" water-bomb next to the IED...

Surely this is a joke? If not then anyone 'serving' in the NATO forces should think carefully about spending more time in Afghanistan.
