Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?

Yes, but in something like this the practical answer is no.

This crew is hosed. The Growler crew got away with a stern talking to from the 3-star after being flown from WA to San Diego on a weekend and basically going on probation. This time? Yeah...prepare to be made an example of.

I doubt it'll be that big of a deal. There's a big difference between a big dick drawn in the sky over a populated area for all to see and a couple lines drawn on a radar plot seen by a few thousand people online.

It is basically a hot plate hooked up to the HMMWV. They exist to trigger trip-wire IEDs and infrared sensor IEDs before the vehicle runs over the trap.
