You should keep your sarcasm directed at subjects you have some knowledge on. Tsk Tsk very poor attempt here, only shows that you have no glue. (
Actually there was a rather cutting point to that sarcasm Red . Since you are the artillery expert can you enlighten me . Are these air burst munitions or are they arrested descent illumination projectiles , see where gravity comes into it now
For air burst what is the minimum height required to ensure that all the WP is consumed before it reaches ground level (taking into consideration of course that some particles will be accelerated downwards in the blast regardless of the effects of gravity), which of course would be a very important consideration when illuminating a residential area containing civilians and civilian property .
For arrested descent projectiles there is the other issue as well , the unpredictability of the wind .
You see even with the latter there can be some real problems , a prime example of "illumination gone wrong" would be the setting fire of the Church of the Nativity , but of course they tried to blame that on someone else instead of facing up to the ballsups when incendiary/pyrotechnics are used in built up areas .
Perhaps that is why there is a move to regulate their usage under the laws of war (which you are quite fond of) .

Though I do understand from this thread that you do have an issue with the use of these weapons .

Wasn't it your countrymen who as Blue Hats helped round up/turnover the Bosnians so that Serbs could execute them? Yeah, we really don't need folks like this making the judgement calls.
Ouch a touch below the belt with that sword stroke.
Below the belt and highly innacurate , they didn't help the Serbs , but they couldn't help the Bosnians either .
That the trouble that sometimes comes with limited deployments with strict rules , the Dutch had their hands tied on that one didn't they .
