John Kettler Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This came up in my YT sidebar while watching a TOW in Syria video. Thought some of you might enjoy it. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I recall MGS very narrowly escaped being labeled 'combat ineffective' and yanked from service. Summer in Iraq crew compartments were seeing temps to 140 degrees F, so roasting the crew they sometimes rolled into combat hooked up to IV drips. As important, also roasting the electronics which would overheat and shut down at the most inconvenient times. MGS is highly reliant on its rotatable remote camera for situational awareness. When the monitor goes black because the CPU overheats that's a problem. Not operating in the desert in mid-summer, MGS works just peachy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) "...rolled into combat hooked up to IV drips." That would make a good "Apocalypse Now" type movie scene... Horrifying scene in there of a trooper smoking a ciggy. That stuff can kill you!!! Edited September 1, 2017 by Erwin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
