Breaking Down Russia’s Vacuum Bomb, the U.S.'s M10 Booker and More | WSJ Equipped

Watch the latest episode of equipped on the six-bladed “knife-bomb” that is revolutionizing precision warfare: on.wsj.com/4bROkrh

Every government contract for planes or Missiles ...Go with the original budget and multiple it by 2.5 times ..... That will be the true budget

Surprise, surprise, even WSJ falls for BS regarding a "Ninja Bomb", more than likely based not on rational and vetted facts but instead on rumors that originated with "video game warriors.". The actual weapon is a very small TBX warhead placed inside a mostly empty, AGM-114 ("hellfire") type air-frame. The missile was modified specifically to lower the cost of the original AGM-114 (which was meant to be used against tanks and heavily armored targets) while also significantly reducing "collateral damage", when used for "targeted individual personnel" (i.e. targeted assassination). due to the much lighter warhead, the missile's center of gravity as well as center of dynamic stability changed, requiring an aerodynamic stabilization solution, in the form of the six expandable knife-like wings protruding from the missile body frontal section. The "Ninja Myth" is nothing but stupid conjecture information proliferated on the Internet by substandard "drone journalists"...

Almost $10k for a standard 155mm shell??? "$2-3 million is the sweet spot." ??? I retired from a manufacturing executive career. "Sweet spot" = It matches our capabilites at a high profit margin, while being priced so the customer doesn't notice. That phrase says it all. I'm reminded of the last years of WWII. Germany put its faith in "wonder weapons ", while the Russians just kept producing artillery and tank shells and grinding up the Divisions of Germans and their allies, like the Ukrainian Banderites. Anyone else see this?

$2M for a 15' drone? Is a hammer still costibg the US Taxpayer $2000?.

I love watching videos on the rich people's network showing me where my tax dollars go and what they do with the money they consistently inflate out of my meager savings via deficit spending (a not so hidden tax). At least WSJ is honest - war is about money and they cover money stories so it's very appropriate they are the leaders in this reporting genre 💰

I'm suprised I haven't seen a drone shaped like a shark with movable fins.

$2~$3m per small remotely boat? No wonder how easy it is to steal the bank this day.

What comfortable times for weapons manufacturers 💩

How about self destruction abilities so the enemy doesn't have our technology?

The Triton submersible drone should have a self-destruct feature if captured. Why risk one falling into the hands of the enemy?

a limerick. A stealthy boat called the Triton Could sail and submerge like Poseidon. Though cheap to attrit, Its sensors were lit, Giving intel that sailors would write on.

Technically interesting, emotionally scary 😨

This is just what they want you to see. Wonder how far classified technology has gone nowadays

All of these combatants will become exhausted to the point of just fading

Funny, but you, guys, completely forgot about new TOS-2, that fires rockets x3 further (~18 km) and is already out there.

very well done

The Booker, sounds like it will be destroyed immediately with modern drone warfare.

In the time it allegedly takes to build one factory to make a few 155mm shells today, WWII would be half way through and multiple factories would have been built in months producing 100s of times more shells of different calibres.

This is the best documentry video I have ever watched
