Remarkable article, Mike!

Thanks.

I do also have a question.

Many people asked me why we didn't see the use of the FOAB, yet. (Father of all bombs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_of_All_Bombs)

It is the strongest conventional thermobaric bomb, currently available.

I assume the following:

1) Currently the fighting is mainly in areas where civilians are present.

2) You need a very big plane to drop these bombs and they are currently not free to fly over Ukrainian troop concentrations in the rear, where there perhaps are no civilians.

What is your opionion and do you see prospects, that we could witness the use of such a weapon during the SMO?

Very informative, thank you! While I knew that the "vacuum bomb" was not a true description of thermobaric weapons, I did not know the effects shockwaves have on the human body. Truly terrifying weapons, thank God they are in the hands of the army of good.

Hello Sir... You should write a Tom Clancyesque novel... You are better than Jane's.

Wish to subscribe to any substack You would open.

Am I wrong considering such FAE like a mini-dresden effect?

Thank you very much. Really formative and informative at the same time.

This kind of articles makes me appreciate the sometimes-excessive time that I spend on the Internet to nurture myself.

Thank you for an informative article!

May I ask how a MLRS system handles misfires, ie a rocket does not ignite and fly away? My experience only involves infantry weapons and mortars....

This is absolutely barbaric! If only as much thought was put into the propagation of life and wellbeing rather than discovering the most heinous ways to destroy it.
