#2 Excellent and fasinating article! Thanks, ed!

[W]ith our counter fire radar, we can track the location [of a firing mortar] within minutes. That is why sometimes the AIF freeze mortar rounds hanging above the tube and leave. When the ice melts, the round drops into the tube, then launches.

Interesting poor man's fuse--I wonder exactly how they can freeze a round just above a tube to ensure it will slip down correctly.
