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

how many over here are delt with a human nowadays?
Report The Magic Flea • January 21, 2010 5:08 PM GMT
I would imagine it depends on the complexity of the bomb and its whereabouts
Report dustybin • January 21, 2010 5:08 PM GMT
as long as its appropriate (where helicopters land etc) it should be in prcedure to 'hit' the surface

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
Report The Magic Flea • January 21, 2010 5:11 PM GMT
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

hmmm I don't know. maybe a biological weapon would be placed next time if they realise this was happening?
Report dustybin • January 21, 2010 5:23 PM GMT
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
Report The Magic Flea • January 21, 2010 5:24 PM GMT
also some explosives cannot be detonated by "pounding" them.
Report dustybin • January 21, 2010 5:26 PM GMT
oh?

how so?
Report The Magic Flea • January 21, 2010 5:28 PM GMT
they need an electrical or chemical reaction for detonation. that is why you have a detonator
Report dustybin • January 21, 2010 5:32 PM GMT
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
Report crescit • January 21, 2010 5:34 PM GMT
isn't the problem with hidden roadside devices?
Report The Magic Flea • January 21, 2010 5:38 PM GMT
I think he meant when you find this hidden device, why don't they pound it instead of trying to difuse it
Report The Magic Flea • January 21, 2010 5:39 PM GMT
but as i said, they have no idea as to the size of the device and what it is connected to.
Report Misspoker • January 21, 2010 5:43 PM GMT
A new robot needed for every bomb.
Report dustybin • January 21, 2010 5:46 PM GMT
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
