Re: [GZG] Mine resistant vehicles

Balloon tyres are good for reducing the ground pressure such that an at
weight mine won't be set off. However some mines have different
initiators or settings for trigger weight that can be set when laid to
reduce vehicle counter measures.

The South African and Rhodesian pookie and similar vehicles use the
large wide tyres with low ground pressure AND have v shaped hulls to
minimize dmage as well.

If I'm the red force commander and laying mines where balloon tyres and
hover are vehicle counter measures, ill set them up for using magnetic
variance or audio transducers (already in use in off route mines) and
other non contact type initiators.

The fact that ballon type tires or hover is a way to reduce the
effectiviness of land mines by not providing high PSI foot print.

like the new generation of mine resistant vehicles we're seeing. They
look pretty interesting.  --  "Now, I go to spread happiness to the rest
