digger Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm not condemning them for using the weapon at all. Seems a heck of a lot for a steel tube packed with explosives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clakk Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 It,s what the Russki,s have done in Syria ,using up tons of old bombs and missiles out of storage.Ivan dont waste a bean and so have a few bits n bobs in storage to lob at anyone Assad doesnt like .I would imagine uncle sam has similar stocks of WOO whats under this cover and who can we throw it at .60 years of cold war has generated a few tons of unused bang boom and doom that hasnt seen the light of day . When Ping Pong explodes his next nuke i think Mr Trump might send him a few samples to try FOC and then it,s hard hat time all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYA Annihilator Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Video of the 'Grand Slam' being dropped by a Lancaster bomber March 1945. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krugerandsmith Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 It cost $314 million to make that bomb. Some one has their priorities wrong. Apparently the Russian one is ten times more powerful. Might have been cheaper to buy one off them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie&bezza Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hope they drop a load more and wipe the terrorists off the face of the earth. For that to happen they would have to drop them all over the world, including the uk. They are amongst us too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I had great hopes when Trump got in that things was going to change and he would stand up to the powers that be in America the CIA Army and the arms industry have got to him just like they did with all of the people that got elected before him.

old man Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) One has to think that they are looking for ways to use some of there old bombs and rockets as they are getting so old according to the Russions lots of the Tomahalk missiles did not hit there target from what I have seen on TV for 60 missiles sent off there was not much damage. Could be right about the age thing but thinking on that the Trump is probably a big shareholder in Raytheon, who probably made the cruisers it could be a nice little earner too? The fact that the damage was limited could have been by design and programming, Just enough stick not too much? Personally not sure the electronic guidance systems suffers with age as over there would be kept ready to go, over here it's nearly all been disposed of on the basis of us being too cultured to use them or to a mate called Sid the scrap for a few quid for the tea fund. We could always borrow something. Edited April 15, 2017 by old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthedark Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 It's 90 on sky news as well! Looks like they hit the right spot? That number is from an Afghan regional governor in Nandarhar, I.S. say they had no casualties. Both have about the same amount of credibility, and cant both be right, and the way things are at the mo I'd have to see the casualties before I believed any of it. Even then I'd be sceptical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootgun Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Well according to sky news the 21,600lb (9760kg) bomb contains 11 tonnes of explosives....... 9760 kg equals 9.760 tonnes... How is it possible to contain 11 tonns of explosives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 9760 kg equals 9.760 tonnes... How is it possible to contain 11 tonns of explosives? Just a guess but is the charge equivalent to 11tons of TNT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 9760 kg equals 9.760 tonnes... How is it possible to contain 11 tonns of explosives? Oh no !!! The Americans are now facing a prosecution for dropping a bomb this not the correct weight. Being 1.24 tonns light will no doubt drop Trump right in the doo daa ! He's gonna wish he'd checked the scales before he sent it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
