| New Missile Study Reveals A Terrible Setback In Fight Against Graboids |
| 2015-04-12 |
| [io9.com] Ground-penetrating missiles are not performing the way designers, at first, thought they should. We tried making missiles into ground-penetrating weapons -- supposedly to destroy bunkers and weapons caches, but we all know the real reason No, I do not, but we'll not argue for the sake of the story. -- by making them hit the ground at a higher speed. This did not work. IN fact, often the faster missiles didn't penetrate as deeply as slower missiles. |

| #7 Time its time to "weaponize" fracking + other Geo-Techs - you know they want to. * FYI BLOOMBERG > SAUDI ARABIA'S PLAN TO EXTEND THE AGE OF OIL. Lest we fergit, the greatest single threat from our mighty future OWG-NWO = Govts-Perts consensus on GWCC = Solar Changes, Activities is that there is no consensus. The World could be running out of Oil + other strategic resources/commodities as we speak, to include US-based Shale Oil, etc. + we as ordinary Amerikans are not going to know about it because the priority of saidsame Govts-Perts + future OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order Politicos is PCORRECTNESS = "SAFE" RE-ELECTION POLITICS + NEUTRALISM, NOT TRUTH. Not unlike Anti-US US Globalist POTUS Obama + OWG Globies, as per how much or how far Soon-to-be-Ex-Sole-Superpower, future-OWG-Co-Superpower-among-Many NAU Amerika is supposed to unilaterally give up or self-retreat, iff the Saudis + US, International Community are not careful, all they will achieve is empowering post-2050-2070 Global Energy collapse?? * [SLY STALLONE'S "DEMOLITION MAN" = ALL RESTAURANTS IN FUTURE WILL BE TACO BELLS, AND EVERYONE WILL DRESS IN ISLAMIC OR SOUTH ASIAN FASHION [escape the Solar heat?] ...." here]. ----------------- * FREEREPUBLIC > [WUWT] CLAIM: ALL ARCTIC AND ANTARCTIC ICE WILL MELT IN NEXT DECADE. Lest we fergit II, "MINI-ICE AGE" > AFAIC refers to future intensified Solar heating of Earth as interrupted by interim or periodic cold or icy weather, i.e. what I like to call the "GREAT/ MIGHTY ASIA-PACIFIC SLUSHY" [Netters = "Slurpee"]. |

| #6 Well... considering when Gulf War 1 started we didn't have anything that could destroy Saddam's underground bunkers, and by the end of the air war we had developed a bomb that would penetrate over 150 feet of sand, then 20 feet of reinforced concrete and we used them to destroy several C&C bunkers, I'm not toooo worried. |

| #5 I'm thinking you need a 'chain' of shaped charges for ground penetration. Spacing would be specific to type of ground. First charge detonates; before the rubble can all fall back into the hole the second charge passes through the blast front (in principle the first charge would be shaped so as to create a transient 'hole' for the second to pass through) and detonates, pushing the rubble further out and deepening the penetration. Repeat. |

| #4 A tactical neutron bomb should do the trick. |

| #3 A grazer at the front couldn't hurt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_gamma_emission |

| #2 when they hit the ground, the thrusters keep firing while various gyros keep the point going down I think those are the most important principles of course actually building stuff that executes those principles has been a struggle |

| #1 Clearly they're using hollowpoints. |
