Talk:VS-50 mine

Benefits of plastic?

 * …formerly made by the now-defunct Valsella Meccanotecnica SpA, an Italian high-tech defence company [which] was one of the first in the world to implement plastic construction for landmines.

I'm assuming this not only lowered each mine's cost, but made them lighter and easier to transport. And yet, isn't there something chilling about the notion of one's work being to reduce the cost of maiming people? I'm sure that's what many people do, but I can't help picturing a roomful of cold-blooded accountants somewhere, adding up the savings. Being able to post this note has somehow helped me deal with that image, so thanks. – AndyFielding (talk) 00:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
