Thermite isn’t an explosive and I’m not sure I’d be thrilled carrying that stuff on a helo on a combat mission. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snake36bravo Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It was a controlled explosion. It's not literal that they packed it full of explosives like a stuffed turkey and up it went into the air. The quote was from a member of the assault element so their choice of words. Reads better in their book and gives a dramatic mental image of the event. Also, Thermite grenades are stable until ignited and no more dangerous than carrying frags, flash bangs, or anything that goes boom, bang, burn on a helo for an insertion or extraction. The nature of the game is inherently more dangerous than your loadout not to mention you typically 'safe' everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
