With Ice please

There was a setting I entertained and I gave it a lot of thought. The idea of striking against Iran after they attacked the UAE and Saudi Arabia gave me joy. As such I considered a way to impact their infrastructure. I know it is so easy to send a missiles there, but that merely causes some structural damage whilst Iran gets ready to reroute whatever they have. So, I have it another setting. I looked at a few settings with the diagrams that are out there and it helped me to create a new ‘sticky ice charge’ not a great name, but it does the job. 

So, this is what set it off and to consider the real deal, we have

This is what I had to work with and I created two solutions. The first one is seen below

The setting is simple, the blue part is liquid nitrogen, the middle part is C4 (with a small detonator) which gets activated 10 second after the sticky ball is fired. the collar is sticky to keep it in place. The ball is fired at the fastener and as the sticky ball breaks the fastener is frozen by liquid nitrogen making is massively brittle, the small explosion will shatter the fastener. Do this over one length or rail on both sides that rail is now loose and when the train drives over this, it all goes south from there, derailed train, wagons optionally falling over, it’s a whole new game. The simple setting of a derailed train, that track will be out for weeks (optionally months) no matter how many resources you throw at it, the moment it is way out of towns, there will be delay upon delay. And that is the mere start of it. When it is used in combination of the harbour solution, I reckon that the infrastructure of Iran gets a partial collapse. 

Then I got to thinking on a second solution, a ribbon with C4 and Nitrogen delivered to the tracks. On both sides with magnets sticking it to the rails with an optional second pressure point or connection about 30 seconds before the charge. 

Will it work? I believe so, but I am an incurable optimist. Anyway this IP is freely given to the UAE and to Saudi Arabia, so they make make something of it. I might be to old to fight, but I can become the next best thing. A nightmare to Iran and with these settings, their 13,000 kilometers ca now be sold as scrap metal (a delusional thought, I know) but in all these settings we see on YouTube and TV, no one is considering destroying infrastructure. It might not be sexy but it tends to work.

Anyway, I believe I have done my bit for the UAE (Saudi Arabia too), as such it is now up to them to make this reality or not. So you all have a great day today.
