Since artillery causes so many casualties, there could be a lot of benefit if soldiers are able to evade them. If you can use a counterbattery radar to see where an artillery shell was fired from based on its trajectory, wouldn't that also mean that you would also know where the shell is going to land? If you know the gps coordinates of where the shell is going to land and you also have the gps coordinates of where your troops are, wouldn't that mean you could warn troops that a shell is going to hit their position? And with that advance warning, would the solider then be able to move far enough away from that position in enough time before the shell actually lands?
hello everyone. recently I remembered that a few years ago (not exactly sure when) there was a soldier from one of the Asian countries (not the larger countries) who was left alone to stand against enemy forces and took out a significant amount of soldiers and even when he ran out of bullets he threw his go pro at one of the enemy troops. for some reason that news can no longer be found which is puzzling me and when I tell others they say I'm lying or that can't be possible. So after searching for about a few days now, I need help in finding it. so I'd appreciate the help of anyone who has any clues as to which country it was or who the soldier was. thanks everyone.
I couldn't really find another place to ask this. For some reason r/history doesn't allow images.
