Unique Military Weapons
Cant recall ever seeing a thread on this topic so i thought it was time we had one... this thread is dedicated to military weaponry of any kind, from any era or nation.

There is a seemingly endless array of novel, fascinating, revolutionary or even ill-fated hardware out there so subject material shouldnt be a problem.

First entry coming up shortly...

Then came Badder Meinhof and all bets were off.....

But honestly, it's nothing that we weren't doing at the same time - that, coupled with getting people across the "wall" - we were kept "busy".......

Thanks for sharing, that's very interesting. I love military history etc...and its fun to learn something new.

I know that a lot more has gone down in South Korea and the DMZ in the past than most people know about but I know very little about West Germany in the 70's and 80's.

Yeah, it was really weird....walking down a street say, in Mannheim, (which was a highly populated city) or seeing College kids partying in Heidelberg, oblivious to what was going on around them, drinking in bars (love that german bier!!) and everything on the surface, seemingly "normal".

The Army doesn't work that way, however. Matter of fact - I had a pretty good friend (A major at the time) who was working in Belgium at SHAPE headquarters. One day, our agents came into his office and arrested a Czech man who was working there as a "janitor" - Nope... STASI. It's all part of the game, unfortunately.

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever, that the same things aren't going on right now in Seoul. Especially with the Olympics going on. And God help you if you are caught in North Korea....

Meanwhile, check out Polands totally badass new stealth tank... this thing can regulate its armor to match the surrounding ambient temperature, rendering it invisible to infrared radar

Actually, Bader Meinhof was a terrorist group......that was funded (primarily) by the Stasi to wreak havoc on the West German side of the wall. I edited this because I thought it would be an important fact to place here - that they were, indeed, funded by the East.

Damn....that thing looks serious! Who would have ever thought that Poland would have built that thing...but that brings up an interesting point..

With the stealth technology coming into its own, how long (do you think) it will be until Infantry units can become "stealthy"? I mean, hell, at the present rate, you won't be able to see much of anything on the battlefield - until it's too late.....

No problem! He was probably at "Bad Kreuznach" a town not terribly far from Mannheim.

Yeah, Badder Meinhof had everyone on edge for quite a while. Especially once it was determined that they were funded by the East Germans. Things got quite "tense" for a couple of months....

Pretty sure our mad scientists already have working prototypes that have been field tested in combat... watch this 6 minute clip very closely



In quick layman terms, its supposed to be a suit with multiple mini cameras that project the soldiers surroundings onto a suit that is basically one big super flexible LED screen

Indeed, you are right! I don't know....the military (in general) had been pretty much "status quo" from, say WWII until the beginning of "Desert Storm"....Now? I'd be completely lost...

The amount of "changes" within the military is making it look these days like something out of a movie...
