Agreed. Trainng and equipment is coming from somewhere.
Yes and no. We have, or had, tac nukes with a small yield for specific targets. Their explosive charge is considerable compared to the size of the...
Shaped charges are easy to manufacture after you have the explosive charge. The knowledge of their benefits are not however. Someone from a...
I've served/trained with Danes and have no complaints. However, none of the examples you presented were armor fights requiring main gun...
I stepped away for a few days and fell way behind. It seems like nothing has changed. You are right Jen. Danish Army will probably never need...
