Message-ID: <1991Feb13.220248.4292@cbnews.att.com> Date: 13 Feb 91 22:02:48 GMT Sender: military@cbnews.att.com (William B. Thacker) Organization: School of Computer Science, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada Lines: 15 Approved: military@att.att.com From: hon@hans.scs.carleton.ca (Edmund Hon) A number of years ago I read an article saying that the US is developing a kind of anti-tank missiles that does not require explosives - chemical energy - but instead uses just kinetic energy to kill a tank, like the depleted uranium AP rounds used on most modern tanks. It is a long, thin missile, which flies at something like mach 2-3. Has anyone heard of this missile? What is the status of this program now, canceled? Gone "black"? -- /// _______________________________________________ . . o /// /_ dmund |Coming to you from Spaceport | -O- . #-A . /// /__/_/ |HongKong [T-00:00:15] | . . # H . /// / /on |___|___________##/W\____
