How good is modern armament

This video was made by the bad guys.

The cameraman is filming his friend as he praises Allah and launches mortar shots at American troops.

Little does he know that new mortar shell tracking technology can track the trajectory of a hostile round and fire a retaliatory shot to precisely the spot from which the hostile shell was fired. This only requires the hostile mortar to fire 2 to 3 rounds. Count the number of mortar rounds the masked insurgent fires in the video. See how well it works.

Isn't technology wonderful? Yes folks, God is great.

In'sh Allah (It is God's will)

are we sure thats not a mortar failure, slo/single frames show at about time
that "splat" (as we'll call him for the moment) drops the mortar there is the explosion and initially it appears to throw flame etc up from the end of the tube - indication source of partially contained explosion-eg path of least resistance - before spreading dramatically?

may be wrong but this appears to be ammo failure to me... either way as said, "GODS WILL"....

I'd have to say the mortar firer seems to be pretty indiscriminate in his aiming.

Looks like ammo failure to me too. Only had a close look after you mentioned it but the explosion is timed about right for when the round would have hit the bottom of the tube.

Who cares, one less terrorist, looks like he would have lost his dick and balls in that explosion (at least) so he'll be no good to his Virgins in Heaven, BTW where do they get all these virgins from, Regards Frank.

Not from my neck of the woods.

that ones an improvised motar tube and the bottom blows out of it.

the return to sender arty tracker doesnt need 3 or 4 rounds it can do it on a single shot under good conditions.

its even cooler when they tie it into the command fire network and everything with that system can put rounds on the target... tanks, planes, warships, arty, missile batteries the whole shooting match

Ive seen the demo of it with a missile battery, a couple of tanks and a mobile arty piece slaved into each other and as you designate the target everything slaves to the same point.

Now that is impressive....and useful.

Its never impressive when someone dies as far as I am concerned.
I lived in Israel for a while and may I say No-one wins a war---There are only loosers.

That man had family too and so do most that die in this ill conceived grab for control/ oil and land.
