Military Equipment

The biggest plane in the world is called the Antonov An-225 Mriya. It is a strategic airlift cargo aircraft designed in the Soviet Union in the 1980s. The An-225 is known for its massive size and cargo capacity.

2 types; back pack and tank. Several countries used them Italy, USSR, UK, France, Japan, but Germany and the US have been the two foremost operators of the man packed flamethrower. More powerful flamethrowers were used for tank armament (most notably the Churchill "Crocodile" of the 79th Armoured Division).

lapilli. Lapilli are small fragments of magma expelled during a volcanic eruption that solidify before hitting the ground. They are larger than volcanic ash but smaller than volcanic bombs.

Tear gas is a chemical irritant that causes burning sensations in the eyes, throat, and skin. It induces tearing, coughing, and difficulty breathing, making it difficult for individuals to stay in the affected area. It is commonly used by law enforcement for crowd control purposes.

Scientists estimate that an explosion equivalent to one thousand Hiroshima-sized bombs would release enough energy to cause catastrophic global destruction, including severe climate disruption, mass extinctions, and potential collapse of civilization. While Earth itself would not be obliterated, the consequences of such an event would likely have devastating and widespread effects.

Napalm fires are typically extinguished by smothering the flames with sand, foam, or a fire-retardant chemical agent. Water may spread the napalm fire due to its flammable properties, so it is not recommended for extinguishing napalm fires. Additionally, professional firefighters with appropriate protective gear are needed to handle napalm fires safely.

Mustard gas can kill by causing damage to the respiratory system and skin, leading to difficulty breathing, severe burns, and blistering. Inhaling the gas can also cause damage to the internal organs, leading to systemic organ failure and death.

Napalm, thermite, and magnesium burns are chemical burns that can be severe and deep, often involving the skin and underlying tissues. These burns can be difficult to extinguish and may also produce toxic fumes that can be harmful if inhaled. Immediate medical attention is necessary for these types of burns.

highly doubtful. the "rays" of radiation would still come in contact with the electrical components. It's not so much a circuit that gets fried in an EMP but the components of the circuit. a Nuc. going off about 200 miles from the surface of the earth could wipe out America, that is equal to about 100,000 volts per square cm of ground. that is needless to say enough to fry any wiring you might have, even if connected to a surge protector.

I suggest building a "faraday cage" around the device you want to protect.

get copper mesh (if you can) or a cheap space blanket. get a box to which you can set the item into (I prefer ones with lids). cover the entire think in the blanket (cut to fit, just make sure it's sealed) attach it (using tape, not staples) then tape a insulated wire to one end, and run the other end to a grounding pole in the earth. this should work. the FEMA building uses the same concept, it has mounds of dirt over the entire building, underneath the dirt is the copper mesh, which grounds to the earth.

The concentration of the isotope uranium 235 in natural uranium is approx. 0,7 %. Enrichment is the process which increase this concentration. The necessary concentration for military use - atomic bombs is more than 90 %. Also many nuclear reactors work with enriched uranium (but with only 3-5 % uranium 235).

No, napalm and Agent Orange are not the same thing. Napalm is a flammable liquid used in warfare to create fire, while Agent Orange is a herbicide used during the Vietnam War to clear vegetation. Both were used by the United States military in Vietnam, but they serve different purposes.

Mustard gas cannot be safely diluted as it is a highly toxic and persistent chemical weapon. It is best handled by trained professionals in proper protective equipment. Attempting to dilute mustard gas could release harmful vapors and pose a serious risk to health and safety. It should be handled with extreme caution and only by individuals with the appropriate expertise.

Napalm is primarily used as a weapon in warfare, typically deployed through flamethrowers, bombs, or artillery shells to create intense and persistent fires. It is known for its ability to stick to targets and burn at high temperatures, causing widespread destruction and casualties. Outside of military use, napalm has limited applications in controlled burns for land management.

A scabbard is a sheath, typically made of leather or metal, that is used to hold and protect a sword, knife, or other bladed weapon when it is not in use. It helps to prevent the blade from becoming dull or damaged and provides a safe way to carry the weapon.

Yes, the AV-8B Harrier II Jump Jet can transition to vertical flight and land vertically even after reaching high speeds by using its thrust vectoring nozzles to redirect engine exhaust downward for lift. This capability allows the Harrier to take-off and land in confined spaces without the need for a traditional runway.

NORAD stands for North American Aerospace Defense Command. It is a joint military organization of the United States and Canada responsible for aerospace warning and control of North American airspace. NORAD is best known for its role in tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.

A grenade is a small bomb with a metal casing around an explosive charge, when it blows, the casing splits into many pieces and flies violently apart. Some small grenades can be fired by rifle, but most are thrown by hand.

the purpose of a trebuchet is that it can throw heavy things in war

That would depend on what type system you are looking for. You can find hand helds that only give you directions for about $75.00 or a vehicle GPS tracking system that offers many features like unlock doors, locate/track and remotely disable vehicle, like the one found at www.findvehicle.net for $598.95

It depends on the grenade but typically about 4-8 seconds. The Soviets had a grenade called the F-1. When you got them, they didn't have fuses--the component that makes the grenade explode. The fuses came in a little can, and you got several time delays in each can. Most of them were five-second delays, but one fuse was 13-second delay and one was zero-second delay. The zero-second delay fuse was a trip fuse. You tied a cord to the grenade's pin and stretched the cord across some ground. When someone stepped on the cord, it pulled the pin and the grenade immediately exploded. Needless to say, you didn't put this fuse into a grenade until you needed to use it!

The metal plate that protects the tip of a scabbard or a belt is called the chape (it's French, so the pronunciation is something like "shahp").

Ash, cinders and bombs only come from explosive eruptions because quiet eruptions really only spew thin lava, not thick and sticky lava like explosive ones. The thick lava can get caught inside the pipe leading to the vent, which can cause more and more pressure to build up. When the volcano's side gives in, or when the lava finally gets to the vent, it ends up exploding, making ash, cinders and bombs.

In order to know if someone is fit for military service, they have to pass a military medical. During conscription everyone of service age, who is not in a protected profession, is expected to enlist and to undergo a military medical to determine their fitness to serve in the military. At present conscription no longer takes places in Britain. Joining any of the military services is entirely voluntary and unless you volunteer you are not given a military medical to ascertain whether you are fit for service or not. Ergo there can be no definitive figure of how many people are fit for military service in Wales as the vast majority of the population have never undergone a military medical to determine their status.

there are approx. 6,790,062,216 in the world at this minute ( 10:53 am 5/15/09) according to government out 1000 population/8.2 persons 8.2 die. That is averaging about 155,500 a day. that is about more than 2 people per second! ((so dont believe the one person every 8 seeconds. Tha tis the biggest load of crap i have ever heard) Even though you may not grasp it about 20-30 people died in the time it took you to read this!
