2. Introduction
During world wars different creative techniques were developed
Animals were used in war as weapons
Different countries had their different war tactics
Germany, Russia, United States had major creative innovation in war
history
Here are some examples
3. Gay Bomb
"Gay bomb" is an informal name for a theoretical non-
lethal chemical weapon, which a United States Air Force
research laboratory
It was suggested that a strong aphrodisiac could be
dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also
cause "homosexual behavior"
4. Anti Tank Dogs
Anti-tank dogs, also known as dog bombs or dog
mines, were hungry dogs with explosives harnessed
to their backs and trained to seek food under tanks
and armoured vehicles
By doing so, a detonator (usually a small wooden
lever) would go off, triggering the explosives and
damaging or destroying the military vehicle
5. Cat Bomb
The most creative way to use a cat as a weapon
happened in World War II. The United State
needed a way to guide bombs to sink German
ships
Somebody hit upon the inspiration that since
cats have such a strong disdain of getting wet
and always land on their feet that if you
attached a cat to a bomb and drop it in the
vicinity of a ship, the cat's instinct to avoid the
water would force it to guide the bomb to the
enemy's deck
6. Chocolate Bomb
The Nazis invented a chocolate bar bomb during
WW2. It was made of steel with a thin covering of real
chocolate and was detonated when a piece of
“chocolate” at the end was broken off after a delay of
7 seconds
A chocolate bomb was actually sent to Winston
Churchill, clad in black and gold wrapping, but was
luckily discovered in time
7. Bouncing Bomb
Once deployed, the bomb would skip across the water over torpedo
nets until it slammed into the target and sunk; once submerged, the
bomb exploded
8.
9. Modern weapons
Following the creative weapons came the most destructive weapons of all
time such as
Automated targeting missile
Nuclear bomb
Defence mechanisms
10. Flares
A flare or decoy flare is an aerial infrared
countermeasure used by a plane or helicopter to counter
an infrared homing ("heat-seeking") Surface-to-air or air-
to-air missile
Flares are commonly composed of a pyrotechnic
composition based on magnesium or another hot-burning
metal, with burning temperature equal to or hotter than
engine exhaust
The aim is to make the infrared-guided missile seek out the
heat signature from the flare rather than the aircraft's
engines
11. Tsar
Weight 27,000 kilograms
Length 8 meter (26 ft)
Diameter 2.1 meter (6.9 ft)
Total destruction : 15 miles radius
3
rd
degree burn : 64 miles radius
Blast yield 50 megaton TNT (210 PJ).
13. BrahMos
The BrahMos has been developed as a joint venture between
the Defense Research and Development Organization(DRDO) of
India and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NPO
Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) of Russia under BrahMos Aerospace
It can be launched from Ship, Aircraft, Submarines, Ground
Weight 3000 kg
Range 290 km
Speed 3500-3700 km/hr
Warhead 200 kg
Accuracy 1 m
14. S-400 Missile System
The S-400 Triumf is an anti-aircraft weapon system developed
by Russia's Almaz Central Design Bureau.
Three Components 1. High Altitude Radar System
2. Command Center
3. Launcher
Radial Range 360 degree
Target Detection Range 600 km
Attacking Range 400 km
Speed 17000 km/hr
15. Bazooka
Bazooka is the common name for a man-portable, tube launched,
recoilless rocket antitank weapon, widely fielded by the US Army. Also
referred to as the "Stovepipe", the innovative bazooka was amongst the
first generation of rocket propelled anti-tank weapons used
in infantry combat
16. UAV
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS), also known as drones, are aircraft either
controlled by 'pilots' from the ground or increasingly, autonomously
following a pre-programmed mission.
17. UAV
The use of drones has grown quickly in recent years because unlike
manned aircraft they can stay aloft for many hour they are much cheaper
than military aircraft and they are flown remotely so there is no danger to
the flight crew
While armed drones were first used in the Balkans war, their use has
dramatically escalated in Afghanistan, Iraq and in the CIA’s undeclared war
in Pakistan
18. Seawolf class submarines
The boats of the Seawolf class are the most advanced
but also the most expensive hunter-killer submarines
in the world
The Seawolf class submarines are arguably the
quietest submarines in the world ever constructed
It is exceptionally quiet even at high speeds. Most
submarines need to keep their speed down to as little
as 5 knots to avoid detection by passive sonar arrays,
while the Seawolf class are credited with being able
to cruise at 20 kots and still be impossible to locate
19. Net gun
A net gun is a non-lethal weapon designed to fire a net which entangles
the target. Net guns have a long history of being used to capture wildlife,
for research purposes
A net gun is currently also in development for riot control
