Talk:Anti-personnel obstacle breaching system

Inspired by a British Invention?
I remember seeing a similar but maybe larger system in a book about the Centurion tank. It had a rocket attached to spool of flexible plastic pipe filled with plastic explosive. The text indicated it was tested c. 1954 if I remember correctly. It was on a trailer towed behind a Centurion. Does anyone know about this British system? If so could they make a page for it and at least put a see also on this one? Because as it stands it looks like the AOBS principle is an American invention. Comparing the dates this simply isn't true. 121.79.12.138 (talk) 02:16, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

What's the source of this page? The most original one I can find is this one. Mozzerati 20:54, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Advertisment
It seems written like an advertisement, but I don't see the POV compromised, so it doesn't warrant the tag but still needs to be written differently. Contralya 00:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Bangalore Comparision
I edited the article to clarify some cliams made versus the bangalore. Originally, this article described a bangalore torpedo as being a 320 pound monstrosity only employable by 12 men. That is absolutely ridiculous. A bangalore comes in sections of 15 pounds a piece. Frequently, for small protective wire obstacles, bangalore sections are employed two at time to blow apart a single fence of triple-standard concertina. Sappers will tie in their bangalores and place charges on any mines found in the lane. I have very rarely, if ever, seen 12 men on a breach site at one time.

The APOBS does present some good advantages, most notably that it does not require sappers to get right up on the obstacle to breach it. This addresses the most dangerous part of breaching: not getting shot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.245.17 (talk) 22:31, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
