Mortar bombs....

I met a russian navy captain before who told me about these 420mm mortar. There first line ammunition includes 5 nuclear shells.

Thats nuclear filled and not nuclear tipped btw.

The one I posted is 420mm according to source. Who the hell comes up with these things!

I assume people with some major insecurities.

They have one of the cold war monster mortars outside the officers mess at Warminster.

Nucking Futs.

Mortar bombs - unlike most modern journalists offer a benefit to society.

Wanted to share this.

For those who feel that a 120mm mortar is just, well, a little small.

...have agitated the journalist, John Burns, who writes as "Atticus" in today's Sunday Times, page 13. He is put out that the State is spending E5.7m on bombs for their mortars.I suggest that his real fear is that mortar bombs and journalists are alike in that they have a limited life span and need to be fired frequently.
