You mean DW, when you talk about 'this program'?
I tested the sonabuoys long time ago, and they penetrated ice as they penetrated water.
PS: Just tested 104 and they still penetrate. |
No in real life. I was great watching a grown man cry when his million dollar bouy smashed against the ice. We would test them up in the greenland area on the ice shelf in the winter time. When we would return from our missions back to iceland we would help out and do the drops for them.
