Alas only in the world of my Imagination, and not reality…

Ethiopian General to Somali Major: “I say my good man, now that we’ve pushed back, those Al Quaeda chaps seem to have tucked tail and bunkered down for the duration. However shall we draw them out of there without endangering our men?”

Meanwhile the Sarge and Gomer Pile of the USMC are hitching a ride on an Defense Distribution Command Transport Aircraft.

“Pyle! if you hadn’t dumped that soup on the base commander’s Mess Uniform, I’d be back home celebrating the New Year, instead of playing courier!”

“Well Sarge, Alls I did was hang the uniform on a clothes rack just like this one.” Pyle pulls on a “Ramp Control Lever”

“PYLE! Get that Ramp back up right now!”

“Okie dokie Sarge” Pyle pulls up on a different lever and pallets of Experimental Munitions start rolling down the ramp and out the back of the plane.

“PYLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEE!!!!”

Minutes later the surrounded Al Quaeda facility in Somalia disappears as bomb after bomb crashes down leveling the facility and eliminating the Al Quaeda goon squad with absolutely no harm to the friendly troops.

Ethiopian General: “It’s a Festivus Miracle!”

Smells like………an Actual Victory on the Periphery

Ya take what ya can get, when ya get it. The Ethiopians fought well in a long war against the then-”breakaway province” of Eritrea in the 70s, and they’ve proved that their ability didn’t only come from the neo-Stalinist regime in Ethiopia at that time

I know the WaPo will emphasize the worst so we shall see.

Flechettes (Titanium Darts) are most commonly fired in a “Beehive” round though a smooth-bore gun tube. Preferably low to and level with the ground to stave off mass or swarm attacks.

As far as I know, there are no Flechette type mortar shells. Cool idea, though.

Armor (Tanks) would be the optimum platform for this weapon’s delivery. While White Phosphorus mortar shells have been around since WWI.

I like the way you think Jack. How ’bout some flachets?

Who knew the Ethiopians could kick butt like this? All I know is I’d like them to continue….
