Why dont they just either pound the suspected land (where appropriate) or use robots?

how many over here are delt with a human nowadays?
|
|
By:
I would imagine it depends on the complexity of the bomb and its whereabouts
|
|
By:
as long as its appropriate (where helicopters land etc) it should be in prcedure to 'hit' the surface
|
|
By:
dear me, it's so obvious now... it can only be a matter of time before they fly you out there to tap into your expert knowledge dusty
|

By:
you have to take into account what sort of device it is. whether it would trigger other devices. how long can you be in the area where this device is before an ambush. humans are quicker than robots

considering the services want in and out, why is it wrong to assume that ponding the service wont make the opperating more secure while having little hinderance (if no bomb then only topsoil would move)
ps f uck of tevez your a c unt |

off

oh dear :(

ponding the service=pounding the surface
tevez makes me want to cut socialst throats |

hmmm I don't know. maybe a biological weapon would be placed next time if they realise this was happening?
|
|
By:
then wouldnt that be akin to them using bio warfare in the firstplace?
that in its self wouldnt stop anyone using it, they'd use it now if they could |
|
By:
also some explosives cannot be detonated by "pounding" them.
|
|
By:
oh?
how so? |
|
By:
they need an electrical or chemical reaction for detonation. that is why you have a detonator
|
|
By:
ok, but it was original simply a question
but id have thought if one knew the land which was to be used the 'pounding' could be in such a format (both chemical or electrical) to clear the said area |
|
By:
isn't the problem with hidden roadside devices?
|
|
By:
I think he meant when you find this hidden device, why don't they pound it instead of trying to difuse it
|
|
By:
but as i said, they have no idea as to the size of the device and what it is connected to.
|
|
By:
A new robot needed for every bomb.
|

By:
I understand your point.
IMO it comes down to semantics If we are in a 'war' on terrorism where guerilla warfare is the main enemy rather than elongating a political remit then we should not be affraid to tackle such problems to bring it to a conclusion |
