How does it do that?

1) it is a old as war itself. wearing scary masks to terrify the enemy.. that is a death mask..What's the origin of wearing masks like that? I've seen them in photos from a few countries.

I've only seen that a few times in the last year. It's new to me. I think I saw Iraqi troops wearing some like that.1) it is a old as war itself. wearing scary masks to terrify the enemy.. that is a death mask..
I see. Have the jamming devices always been individually carried?2) IEDs are detonated from a distance.. so by jamming the receiver electronics, it can't be detonated.. and then can be removed relatively safely..

Mmmm...I would love to agree with you if not for the sole reason that you are one heck of a swell individual, but I must respectfully disagree with the grenade launcher theory because of 2 reasons. 1) typically, grenade launchers on tanks are usually in the 40mm range and their launchers off of tanks almost always look something like this.
Nice to hear back from you brother..Aywa ana hena aho. Thanks for asking, bro. Just taking a break.
I like that IFF post you put up, bro. Gonna get into it a bit later.
EAF C-130 in China.
Nice to hear back from you brother..
Salah is back and will be leading the Egyptian team..
Those are not grenade launchers but smoke dispensers.
@Gomig-21
There were 5 good keepers to chose from..that is not easy.. but as you said the coach should know what he is doing..
Opening matches are always stressful.. let's see what's next..
For now..
News dating back to 1983 speaks of Egypt updating Friend and foe identification systems IFF, which is integrated into fighters, early warning radars, air defense and warships. Egyptian engineers, together with engineers from Teledyne Electronics Corp, designed the new system to accommodate the updates that took place in the Egyptian army. Especially after the entry of Western weapons like new fighters and radars, which required the Egyptian army to change its old personal Soviet IFF system to the new system to integrate a unified IFF system for Western and Eastern weapons.
Egypt also manufactured the decoding and encryption cards of the new system in the Ben Ha Electronic Industries company.
Dispensers? Sounds like a kitchen appliance, lol. Technically they're "smoke grenade launchers," and the point was to illustrate that these are the primary means of grenade launchers (even if they only launch smoke grenades) on tanks, they're still considered grenade launchers. They basically operate like mortars and if an actual, grenade launcher was to be mounted on the Egyptian M60-A3 or M1A1 Abrams, it would be in the form of something like the MK19 and not that shrouded gun on the turret that @Mhmoud and I were discussing.
Hahaha, not sure why Mo Salah didn't play. He must not have been 100% with that shoulder of his because there really was absolutely no reason whatsoever to sit him down for the match unless he was hurt and had a great chance to injure that shoulder even more. Other than that, he should've been in there without a question. This is the WC not some rinky dinky tournament.
Anyway, eid sa3eed we kol sana wenta tayeb ya basha.
This is pretty interesting. I knew they had developed some form of IFF once the F-16s were introduced into the EAF so that they can have that capability throughout the mix of aircraft they had, but never new it was such a sophisticated system by Teledyne which incorporated IFF interrogators as well. Having the ability to interrogate makes it pretty much a fully capable and bonafied IFF system that you can get. My only question would be, in order to have that interrogating IFF function in the system, the aircraft need particular sensors to receive the signal from the interrogating aircraft, kind of like the bird shredder sensors on the F-16 block 52 aircraft which are the only ones that have those sensors. So if they're not using those ones, what sensors are they using in this Teledyne system they've developed? We would need to see a common set of sensors on all the aircraft if that system truly exists.
