#5  The Russians seem to be a little more serious about conflicts than Obean's Kumbaya crowd. The Russians are following a different set of ROEs than those that were imposed on the U.S. forces. Obama and the U.S. have been diddling around for a couple of years with the ISIS psychopaths. You don't bring a war to an end unless you inflict sufficient pain on the other side.

#2  It's an MLRS, "flamethrower" is a misnomer based on a direct translation of the Russian name.

#1  One of my options for a revamped "SGT YORK" Programme back in the day.

In the end, the USDOD-Army didn't go for it but the Russians-then-Soviets did wid Russo-Soviet characteristics.
