      @pixiniarts 5 ปีที่แล้ว +92

      Its actually very smart, you are using the water as an explosively formed projectile that is traveling so fast that it destroys the bombs internals before fuses can react or wires can send signals or a charge. The different ways you can force the water as a knife, jet or wall means it can even cut through metal cased devices or rip them apart. The composition and simple construction of these devices means that you can pretty much assemble them anywhere in the world and with few moving parts minimises what can go wrong.

      The whole suit is also only a limited protection. If the device goes off, depending on the mass of the explosives, chances are, due to the pressure increase, all the "hollow" parts of your body will explode, that is lungs, eyeballs etc. What the suit is extremely good for is keeping your body in one piece.

      Just open your mind to the possibility that the above statement might not be a joke, but cold hard truth. It's not impossible is all I'm saying.
      We cannot trust our governments. The elite do not actually value our lives; they never have. We are less than pawns in their game, we are the board it is played on. Chip a little away here, break a corner off, a little damage - a few specks of material lost - but the game can still be played as they trample all over us that remain in the process.

    I'm a medic for the 36th Battalion, Singapore Combat Engineers. We do exactly what is described in the video. That bombsuit may look stupid but it's no joke, the thing weighs 28kg, or 61.7 pounds. It is very easy to fall victim to heat exhaustion or injury, so thats something us medic look out for. The robot you see is used for remote surveillance and scouting, or for remote detonation. The way they dispose the bomb is quite similar to our procedures. however, our categorisation of IEDs is somewhat different. Category A denotes am IED that can be safely moved and disrupted elsewhere, Category B denotes an IED that is not safe to move and has to be detonated on the spot, Category C denotes a victim-operated/triggered IED. Our x-rays are a bit more primitive: it requires a bomb technician to use it by hand, as we have no remote x-ray capabilities. But really, you gotta appreciate the EOD/IED teams and squads in your area for 24/7 coverage and readiness, being on standby during weekends or public holidays as well as festive occasions, just to keep us all safe.

    Considering they _do_ come in all forms, I'm a bit surprised he mentions that _ALL_ IEDs are electronically primed, which isn't the case. Some are mechanically(clockwork artillery fuzes/anti disturbance mines) chemically (using broken ampules to generate a high intensity exothermic reaction) or simply pyrotechnically driven (using cannon fuse)
    I suppose electric IEDs are the _most_ common in regards to remote detonation or anti-tamper triggers, but they're just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
